Ter will no longer be the big shot.
He will have to take a back seat

Hindenburg and Ludendorff

The lust for the bloody sham

have to maintain their authority.
They must be continuously in

the need for laudable activity.
They must be praised COM

The citizens of many European
countries are fatalists. They be-

through war cannot be avoided;

their nation is to be maintained
they must be ready to take their

President Roosevelt'S letter to
Hitler was a bempshell in Euro
pean affairs, and its peaceful OBJ
jective may have been an out
standing influence. Anyway it
enforced worldwide publicity
upon the controversy, which is
always desirable.
The spark that ignited the few
erish madness that began with
the World War was the murder
of a single individual but at that
time Germany was looking for
an excuse to start war. The
members of the military clique
were drunk with power. They
had acquired the impression they
could defeat the combined ma
tons of the world, and that the
war would be over with the VIC
tory on their side within few
weeks.
1t has been stated from many
sources that the Kaiser did not
want a war then, and that he was
forced to accede to the views of
his military advisers.
But today the situation is far
different. The people. of Ger
many have not forgotten the last
war. The memory of that long
drawn out affair. and the bitter
hardships associated with it, lin
gers with them in a big way.
They can recall the prolonged
periods when many of their peo-
pie were furnishing for food and
when a full meal of potatoes or
other nutritious food would have
seemed a luxury.
Now. it is bold statement to
make that there will be no great
European war for at least a year;
but my reason for believing it to
be true is that the German peo-
pie do not want war and they do
not believe that a war is immin-
emf.
recently had a long converse.
ton with a young German. He
came to New York short time
after the Munich conference. He
was fully informed he knew
his own people; and he said there
wasn't the faintest idea among
the German people that the Mu-
Mich conference could possibly
end in war. He added, further
more, that if war had been de-
clared at that time there would
have been a revolution in Ger
many they were so much OPP
posed to such a conflict.
If this is true, we will have to
compliment Hitler on his tech
nique. Our own people are sup
posed to have monopoly on
what we slangiy call bluffing. but
Hitler is apparently past mas
ter. He frightened all Europe
with his mobilization orders.
A story was published here
that a German soldier wrote to a
brother Of his in this country a
letter in which he stated they had
orders. If France or England gave
instructions to mobilize while the
German army was on the way to
Austria, that they were to return
Immediately to Germany
Doubtless this is a fabrication;
but the fact remains, the German
people do not want war. Hitler
must be thoroughly aware Of
their sentiments and his own
authority would undoubtedly be

largely because Of his record as a Dies
committee member The chairman was
forced to agree to the appointment. in
Mosler's place Of Representative H. Jerry
Voorhls of California, whom his COL
leagues describe as more advanced New
Dealer than the President himself. Rem
resentative Healy resigned to become a
member OF the Smith Committee investi-
eating the N. L. r. B., and was succeeded
by Representative Joseph E. Casey of
Massachusetts,, New Deal sympathizer.
Thus the chairman's majority became
tour to three. Dies promised to reform
his methods, and in particular to ex-
anime testimony at private hearings be-
lore presenting 1t in public. He em-
ployed number of retired F. B. 1. in
vestlgators, and engaged as counsel Rhea
Whitley. who had 10 years experience
with the F. B. I.
Under these improved conditions the
committee has obtained some tangible
results, such as the indictment of Earl
Browder for passport frauds and Presi-
dent Roosevelt's announcement that the
Department of Justice would investigate
the committees charges that Commu-
MIST Nazi and Fascist organizations have
violated criminal statutes.
Why did the pronouncements of the
Fish and Mccormack Committees fall
on deaf ears, while identical conclusions
OF the Dies Committee found an eager,
Nationwide audience? The reason ap-
pears to be that in 1881 and 1885 the
hour had not yet struck when the Amer
ican public was willing to listen. The
Dies Committee came into being not long
after Hltler's occupation of Austria. Its
hearings were punctuated by the Anglo
French surrender at Munich, the an
nexation of Sudetenland and the over
throw of echo-Slovakia. Finally, there
dropped into the committees lap a
godsend without parallel, the Nazi-
Soviet pact. At one stroke, two damaging
sorts of criticism were stricken dumb.
One had accused the committee of pro-
Fascist bias against Russia. The other
had charged it with giving credence and
circulation to ridiculous fairy tales If
Hitler and Stain could clasp hands, mill
lions of persons felt, then nothing in
the world could be too fantastic for be-
lief.
So that it may be declared of Martin
made him what he is today.
