one person, with some human traits
combined with the inhuman quail
ties Of the buzzard, the tiger, and the
rat. He has only one mouth and one
brain. In spite OF the fact that he is
q good organizer and has inspired
1anatical devotion among millions,
nevertheless, he Is not a super man.
Although there is danger that he will
control this country In less than
sighteen months, it would only be
because he was helped by Chamber
lains and their type.

there will be thousands Of uncon-
scious Chamberlains in this country
who will always regret their earlier
actions.
One Of Chamberlain's crowd ad-
mitted he knew in 1885, that Eng
land was in danger from Hitler. He
admitted that, IL he and his party
had been frank about IL, they would
have lost the election. Politicians in
this country, who are more interest
ed In the election than they are In
the safety Of their country, are like
the Chamberlains in England five
years ago.
While German slaves were work
ing long hours preparing for the
war, British and French labor lead
eTs were encouraging short hours
and were fighting about labor con-
ditions That condition was correct
ca, but too late. Today, in this coun-
try, our labor leaders apparently are
more interested in social welfare |
than they are in the condition Of the
country as it would be under Hitler
camps or death for |
the labor leaders, slavery hours and |
wages for the workers. There are
many Chamberlains among the labor
leaders.
Some French industriaIists were
more concerned in making money
than they were in the future of their
country, and helped sell France out

their own short-sighted interests.
We have little Chamberlains, thou

about it, You see, in business, you
must be careful; otherwise, you will
lose customers. Yes, we have our
little Chamberlains, as well as big
