MAN WHO SAVED EUROPE

The appalling stupidity of Mr. BUNDLES settle

clearer with every passing hour. The controlled
British radio and press is bombarding the United
States with propaganda designed to persuade us
that the settlement" is after ALL only just in that
it merely gives minority, the Sudetens, the right
of self-determination." But already Adolf Hitler
is throwing off the mask and openly confeSslng

take the whole of Czechoslovakia Immediately
Where is "the right of self-determination" now?
And today old Bundle, the successor of Pitt and
Disrael and Lloyd George and the keeper of the
tradition Of Horato Nelson, goes back to the lit
tie housepainter, bearing his old silly scheme
for "order" and "pact" for peace between
England, France, Germany, and Italy. 10 the hit

newspapers is shrieking his hystercal delight IN

his contempt for order" by sending his storm
troops TO take Sudetenand by free though the
Czechs have capitulated, and for "pacts by Dola-
w proclaiming his intent at to take over the
oil and wheat fields of Rumania and dove-tail the
Rumanian economy with the German.
More and more ii energies that what Bundle mas
act1allv done is to destroy Czechosovaka, deprive
the Allied side of the Czechoslovakian Army and
defenses and hand Central Europe to Hitler on
platter-to make the fellow immensely strong Tor

necessity for that war more than few weeks or
months at best-Charlotte News.

leave Czechoslovakia and make their homes in
Germany Such emigration would involve
some loss through the forced sale of possessions,
but the loss would not be comparable to that suf-

forced to leave all their possessions behind when
they find opportunity to flee. In the matter of
the persecution of minorlteS Hitler has nothing 10

Konrad Henlein was assigned to promote treason
in Czechosovaka and has done thorough prac-

into Germany to report progress and receive fur

And the German propaganda department. by Il
clumsy error, sent memorandum to all the for
eign press correspondents at the Olympic games ut
Garmisch-P artenkirchen in the winter of 1886 urg-
ing them to take photographs of Henlcin sitting
with Hitler and otherwise to "makc propaganda
for the program Of treason against a land whose
athletes at that very moment We're performing on
the ice before Hitler and their traitor fellow-cOun

This memorandum was intended only for Germ
an correspondents. but dumkopf in the press de-
partment muffed his Instructions and called upon
Americans and others IL the press gallery to abet
a treacherous conspiracy, promoted under the white
banner of international sport. Hitler and Henlcn
even then were aiming guns at the hearts OF the
olympic boys and girls from CzechOslovakia.
