THE EVIL DAY HAS BEEN POSTPONED

THE EVIL DAY HAS BEEN POSTPONED
Hitler, the monomaniac dictator OF Ger
many, has won the war in Europe without
fighting a battle. The Munich compromise
and settlement gives Hitler everything he
demanded, as far as essentials and mat
terS of Importance are concerned. The MI
nor details do not matter to Hitler and will
have absolutely no effect on the settlement
or the future movements of the dictator as
he marches the German legions to the
Black Sea and makes himself the dictator
of Europe.
In fact, he is already the dictator of
Europe. The Munich settlement was die
tated by him and was strictly on his terms;
and it was in violation of principles which
Mr.. Chamberlain said England would
never surrender or fail to support even to
the cost of going to war.
Mr.. Chamberlain said that Europe and
the world must never permit fear and
force to CONTROL yet that is exactly what
has come to pass at Munich. Fear and
force. in the person of the German mono
maniac. backed by the unQueStlonmg
might of his fanatical followers, compelled
England and France to meet Hitler at Mu-
mich and reach an alleged settlement on
the dictator's terms. 1t was the fear OF war
and the fear of the dictator's power which
forced the so-called settlement and secured
for Hitler everything he demanded, to-
gether with a breathing spell from which
he will emerge with more power and force
than ever before and immeasurably mag
nified as a menace to Europe and to the
world.
The terms of the Munich settlement do
not matter much, to Europe or the world.
Czechoslovakia will be completely dismem-
bered and it is question of only short
time until it's people will be writhing and
groaning under the domination of Hitler.
Then the way to additional Nazi conquests
in the direction of the Black Sea and the
Ukraine will be opened and we shall see
the dictator seizing all the small countries
of central Europe. Then, unless the evil
day is moved ahead by settlements similar
to that arranged at Munich, the large ma
settlement with Hitler and the Germans.
He will probably attack Russia first, al
though it is probable that his first victim
at that time may be France.
: Thus it is that war is avoided and peace
is hailed as the victor-tomorrow, next
week, next month-and after that the
retaliation in Europe and in the world
that the evil day is inevitable and that its
looming was only postponed at Munich.
The word of Hitler, the pledges of Hit
Ter, the contracts and treaties of Hitler,
given at Munich or elsewhere, are worth
less. That is the record of the dictator, a
record that is we'll known in Europe and
throughout the world. 1t is perhaps best
known to the representatives of England
and France who negotiated the alleged
settlement at Munich but fear and force
lowered above the conference table, fear
and force dictated the terms, and for Eu-
rope and the world settlement was &C
cepted which is only scrap of paper as
far as Hitler and the Nazis are concerned.
Who, in Europe or elsewhere in the
world, is so credulous as to accept at Its
face value Hitler's statement that the dis
memberment of Czechoslovakia is the last
territorial aggrandizement he will seek in
Europe?
And no observer of developments should
fail to note that Hitler said ''in Europe
1t is known that Hitler considers the Uk-
raine as geographically located in Asia
That he is determined to seize that coun-
try is the conviction of all unprecedented
observers. How is Hitler to reach the
