NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-Wheu
Hitler demands the return OF the
reparaCions paid by Germany. and
gets them; then when he demanos
tie Allies should pay reparatlonS
on their own account for the i'm
mense damage wrought upon Ger
many by the last war, then per
hans, the world will understand
what the Nazi program means
tc achieve.
Hitherto Europe has acted upon
the advice of Lows famous Colo
mel Blimp, who, at the moment
when Britain was being more than
usually pushed about by Germany
exclaimed in his steam bath: by
CAD, Sir, the only way to avoid be
ing bullied by this fellow Hitlel
is to find out what he wants ..
and do It'll"
PEOPLE WILL SAY mo-.
OF course, there would never bt
a war if Europe really were pre-
pared to do all that Hitler wants
But an analysis of his wants
makes it plain that no matter
how complaisant, acquiescent anc
craven the governments Of Europe
might be, there is bound to come
a time when the peoples them
selves will say no.
1t is not necessary to go beyond
the first point in the Original
twenty-five-point Nazi program
to meet half a dozen possibilities
several probabilities, and at leaSt
two certaintieS of war. This i;
the famous point which Hitler has
already gone so far towards real
izing, It reads: I'VE demand the
union Of all Germans to form q
great Germany on the basis oi
the right of self-determination."
MILLIONS INVOLVED
Having brilliantly fulfilled the
Austrian and CzechoSlovak part oi
this demand, and having added
ten million Germans to his Reict
within seven months, Hitler still
has an irredenta of another ter
millions to bring into the Reict
fold.
Counting only the states act
ually neighboring the Reich, there
are according to Nazi figures
$4,000 Germans in DENIM ar K
100000 in Poland, 10000 II
Memel and Lithuania, 100000 II
Danzig, GOO, 900 in Hungary, TOO,
600 in YugoSlavia, 100000 IL
Switzerland, 100000 in France
(Alsace-Lorraine), 100000 in Lux
embourg, 10000 in Belgium (Eu
nIn.Malmedy), and $4,000 il
Holland.
THREATS ENOUGH
BY mere threats, without fight
ing, he can probably get what h
wants from Danzig, Luxembourg
Lithuania, Hungary, Yugoslavia
possibly Denmark, Poland AM
Belgium. Holland would almos
certainly fight, and Switzerlan'
would certainly fight. It is shocl
ing to record, but a fact, that a
this moment the defeatiSt Spiri
il France is so strong that ther
it is not absurd to speak Of tn
possibility of Hitler getting Alsac'
liz not Alsace-Lorraine, withou
fighting.
Nazi propaganda has alread
started in Alsace, and the populi
ton is being prepared for the con
ing struggle. The frequent prom
Uses of Hitler that Alsace-L Lorrain
had been wiped off his book al
regarded in Strasbourg as q jok
EUROPE AWAKENED
Hitler's seizure Of Austria an

awakened Europe to the fact tht
he really means every word
his program point number on
But few have thought out clear
what every Nazi knows, that tn
attainment of point number or
is only the beginning Of the pr
gram.
First comes the unification
all Germans. Next the truly cor
plete notification Of all tt
clauses Of Versailles, and the r
versal of all its punitive measure
In Nazi eyes, Versailles Is still Il
from being fully corrected.
