Unabridged 'Mein
 Kampf' Delineates Hitler And Program

and Italy. "The only power" he wrote, which would come into question as opposing the alliance, France, would not be in position do to so."
 Hitler's philosophy of the state is that it is means to an end. Its end," he says, lis the preservation and the promtion of community of psychically and physically equal human beings. This very preServa- ton comprises first the racial stock and thereby permits the free de- velopment of all the forces slumber- ing in the race"
 Attacks Are Expeditions
 Hitler'S anti-Semitism is deeply rooted. If further proof were needed of his hatred for Jews, it is to be found in the mass of vituperance against them in this book. His repe- titious attacks, voluminous in the abridged edition, are far greater in this complete work.
 As has been proved now, as Hit Ter said a decade ago, "the from tAClo O1 104f olSlllAy l4OIiAulS do oAA for the future of the German na- tion." And he emphasized this state ment: "State frontiers are man. made and can be altered by man."
 With the acquisition of Austria and Sudetenland, what about the future? Hitler says: "The right to soil and territory can become a duty if decline seems to be in store for great nation unless it extends it's territory"
 Eyes Toward Russia
 Discussing new territory in Europe Hitler observed in the late 1920s that the primary thought lis of Rus sia and its vassal states"
 These, and many other utterances, make "Mein Kampf" undoubtedly the most important political tract of the time.
 The two editions of this work in their translations in minor way. The Reynal & Hitchcock book is annotated, adding some 200 pages to the volume. It runs to 994 pages, while the Stackpole edition has 669 pages and is not annotated.

New York, Mar. IS. (UP)-TWo separate and distinct editions with different translations now make "Mein Kampf." Adolf Hitler's auto- biography and "blue print" of Ma tional Socialism, available in Eng fish for the first time without abridgment. The publishers are Rev. nal & Hitchcock and Stackpole Sons.
 This complete work, published in condensed form in 1883, does not materially change the self-portrait of the man, neither does it add vital points to his program. However, it does etch more deeply Hitler's thoughts and makes his plan of ac- tion more comprehensive. The repe- titions in themselves tend to give a clearer understanding of Hitler's thinking.
 Completed ill 1927
 "Mein Kampf" is truly called a propagandistic essay. Parts of it were written while Hitler was in prison after his abortive Munich coup. The complete work was fin ished six years before he became chancellor. But even in 1927, when the second volume was published, Hitler was a master propagandist and a shrewd politician who saw not only the benefits but the pos Sibility of an alliance with Britain

0AKv|LLE PIN
 ACCEPTS PRIZE
Package Competition Is Won By ScOviIl
 Division

The Oakville company, division of Scovill Mfg. Co. of Waterbury, Conn, were given top honors in the opague envelope group of the 1888 All- America package competition, spon- sored by Modern Packaging maga- zine, for their Eldorado pin book redesign of the traditional roll package for common pins.
 This has been accomplished in a simple logical and practical manner by making pin book, containing 160 pins, somewhat on the order of match box, except that it has eight tiers instead of two. Only the pin heads are exposed to the hand thus eliminating a great deal of the annoyance of the traditional former style. The cover of the book car ries advertising and Identification and has die-cut opening, affording visibility when the package is closed This same opening acts as button hole to support the pin book in a handy position on the body when the hands are both busy. An added feature is the four inch rule mark ings which are provided along the lower front edge of the book.

ALCOHOLIC CASES
 BOOST DEATH TOLL
Statistics Show Heat More Deadly Than Zero Tem=
 erature to Americans

Although the heat is more deadly within our borders than the rold and accounts for nearly six times as many deaths, nevertheless an aver age of 433 persons a year in this country or three out of every -,- 100000, actually freeze to death or die of exposure to cold, according to statisticians of the Metropoli- tan Life Insurance company. In the unusually hot summer of 1886, a total of 4,678 deaths were caused by heat exposure, and in the winter of that year 579 persons died of the effects of cold. These facts were educed from a study of the general population for the four-year period, 1933- 1886, which also shows that four times as many males as females succumb to extreme cold or actually freeze to death in this country, and of these, two~thirds were men 50 years of age or older.
 Also, study of the mortality eX- perience of the Metropolitan's In dustrial policyholders for the years, 1933-1937, shows that one-fourth of the victims of extreme cold or freezing were reported as being un- der the influence of liquor. "These persons" the statisticians say, were found in vacant lots, in fields, in dumps, in roadside ditches, under bridges, an in ravines."
 The rate per 100000 population for deaths from cold and freezing is about twice as high in Canada as in the United States, but the rates in eleven of our states are higher than the average for Can- ada. These states are: Nevada and Wyoming, each with a rate of 1S per 100000: Montana, IT; Dela- ware, 10: Virginia, 8: North Dakota 8; Maine, 8; New Mexico, 8; South Dakota, 2; Minnesota, 2 and Rhode Island, 2.

done by working-class actors who earn their living at their trades by day and act by night for the fun of the thing. They are members of the unique little Unity Theater Club To- cated in north London in a building which was once chapel and later tramp's lodging.
 The actors get no pay for their services. They are distinctly left wing, with reverence for none of the tycoons who rule Britain. They vert to America for two of. thelr hits-"Waiting for Lefty" by Cliff ford Odets and Plant in the Sum-, by Bengal, for which the great Paul Rcbeson donated his services.
 England is free country-except on the stage. Theaters which sell tickets must get licenses from the Lord Chamberlain, who exercises a strict censorship. Neither the royal family, living statesmen, etc, nor daring lines alluding to them, are permitted to be represented.
 The Unity Theater easily gets around that. It is a private club. Only members can procure tickets to its shows. Membership costs a quarter and there are annual dues of another quarter.
 Because the club can twiddle its thumbs at censorship, it is now pre- senting its biggest hit-"Babes in the Wood"-not only satire on British pantomimes but on historic figures, too.
 In the Unity pantomime the Brit lsh Premier is called the Wicked Uncle. The script called him Cham bermusic and Chamberstrain. The two robbers are Hit and Muss. The man who plays the part of the Wicked Uncle has a devastatingly funny makeup, initiating Chamber lain. The two robbers also striking ly resemble Hitler and Mussolini. There is a King and Queen. They are not made up to resemble the royal family of Britain, but lines placed in their mouths raise the roof. Thus the King says:
 Peace on earth was my inten- ti0n.
 Peace with aggressors my con- tention.
 'Not to mention non n-interven- ti0n."
 The Queen blithely prattles:
 T am the Queen. My dignity's bland"
 T am a Lady, the first in the land.
 upholstered so stately, it's just lately
 Eve taken to dressing so grand"
 Chamberlain, swinging his fa- nous umbrella, sings a song which begins:
 q like German sausage and hate Russian tea
 And my sister-in-law runs er- rands for me-" SA
 Here is another passage which pleaces the crowds:
 THE KING: 'T am only figure head wearing a crown"
 THE QUEEN: Between you and me, 1t is getting him down."
 THE KING: T talk to the people with my wireless set"
 THE WICKED UNCLE: "When I have dictated the message, you bet"
 HIT AND MUSS: Provided it's passed by the Cliveden set"
 The program does not give the names of the people who take the various roles. There is also dupli- cate cast. The reason is that men and women, who work by day, are are often too tired to act at night. Hence the alternate casts.
 The men who act the part of Chamberlain are respectively reg istrar of births and an insurance clerk. Hitler is enacted by a man. ager of a holiday camp and an in- surapce clerk. Mussolini is played by a tailor and a carpenter.
