Much as one deplores the bar

Germany, I have to take my hat
off to Hitler for the big bluff he
put over on Chamberlain and
Daladier.
When a mere ex-paperhanger

laugh him off? Hitler didn't
want war, couldn't and wouldn't
have gone to war. because he
was and is broke. But he played
a swell hand, and Chamberlain
and Daladier didn't dare call his
bluff, so they folded UP and gave
him the CzechoSlovakian jack

America, and the democratic

aghast at the governmental
cannibalism which is Hitlerism.
The organized fiendishness and
ferocity that the heartleSS and
fanatical Nazi dictator today d.

and undoubtedly it will be. The
tyranny Of the Kaiser was

the systematic sadism now be-

They will then return to Anchorage and continue thru the Inside Passage to Seattle.
