be guilty of such naive inconsistencies.
Would he use his wealth, hidden or not,

To the Editor of The Star:
A Mr.. Cullington recently spoke In
this column about an alleged campaign
OF calunny and disparagement against
the German people, and he undertook
their defense.
The German people, except for the
period Of the World War and shortly
thereafter when a vicious propaganda
ooscured our view, have always been held
IN respect and liking. And 1t is strongly
evident that the dislike, resentment,
aohorrence and distrust so prevalent in
this country today is directed not toward
the German people, but against Adolf
Hitler and such Of his heutenants who
nave made themselves conspicuous to
us by their contempt for democratic in
stltutlons, their warlikeness and their
advocacy of medieval race hatred.
1t would surely be most terrible libel
on the German nation to consider any
OF these men as typical of the German
character or mentality. Our disapproval
IN this country is for Hitler and his CLIQUE
and Tor the repugnant Nazi political
system which they represent. The Ger
man people have our sympathy and
wishes for better days.

undertaken rather oblique defense of
the present German regime of Hitler.

To the Editor of The Star:
In answer to the letter Of Mr., Horace
F. Cullington, published in The Star Of
June 3, 1888, would like to state that
much as am aware of the contributions
OF the German race during the past ages,
cannot sympathize with the view that
these contributions give it any measure
Of superiority over the other outstanding
peoples Of the earth.

and Italian races, because the civiliza-
ton OF the latter dates back to the
Roman Empire. Of which civilization it Is
continuation. The German race was
among the last to become civilized, and
its civilization dates back only three hun
dred years. The civilization Of the
American people. for the most part, dates
back also to the Roman Empire, because
they belong mostly to English stock. In
many cases the ideals, traditions and cul-
ture Of the English settlers were com.
