WASHINGTON, Jan. IA
former counsellor of the German
Embassy in Washington, now
seemingly in poor standing with
the Nazi regime, can give you a
few fresh slants on the European
war.
In a three column letter to the
New York Times, the former
counsellor, Ernest Wilhelm Mey-
er, cautions against thinking that
Germany will collapse easily,
and suggests that the Allies may
have to revise their propaganda
if they expect to undermine Hit
Ter.
Of the need of raw materials
and the effectiveness of the
blockade, he says:
"Only major land battles re-
suit in a very large consumption
CT copper. cotton, rubber, ETC.,
and if, under the protection of
his West Wall, Hitler refrains
from major land battle, his need
for raw materials will be greatly
limited.
Of the oft~expressed view that
Goering is conservative with
whom the allies could negotiate a
peace if Hitler were removed,
Meyer says:
ITO regard Goering as a con-
sentative is tantamount to calling
Gandhi a warmonger or Trotsky
"a capitalist.
Of the Russian alliance, he
says:
1.-THE final attitude of Russia is
undetermined; the chances of
ever closer cooperation with Hit
ler's bolshevized Germany are
many times greater than the op-
posite chances.
Propaganda Effective
Hitler's constant propaganda
that Germany wants not one
inch of French or English soil is
bound to have effect, says Meyer,
especially when British naval
losses begin to increase, as they
may do with a sustained air at
tack. After all, he says, no one
knows yet just how hard the
fleet may suffer from the Ger
man air attack.
However, Meyer voices view
held widely here that a victory
for Hitler would be both a de-
feat for Germany and a defeat
for Europe.
at would be a defeat for Ger
many, for no transitory increase

Capt. Carpenter said some of
his men had complained that not
one Key Wester had spoken to
them since they had landed. He
said the need for a friendly at
mosphere in which the men of

of the city was imperative. The
naval officer also pointed out
that the recreation field here was
generally very poor.
After the. preliminary plans
were outlined, Capt. Carpenter
expressed the opinion the COM
mittee was on the right track. He
said the suggestion of Miss Essie
Geiger, field representative of
the statewide WPA recreational
program, for a permanent adj
visory committee was a good one.
Consequently Chairman Taylor

mo help can come from telling
the German masses. that the war
is conducted not against Germany
but only against Hitler. Although
this might be entirely true, new

were told that the war was con-
Quoted only against the Kaiser.

but the masses, including the
conscript army, will not turn
against him without a solid con-
viction that his presence is Ger

Nothing would better clarity

than the proclamation of about

change of frontiers except on the
basis of self-determination for

establishment of international
