:, PARIS-(ANP)-Not the
least interesting of newspap-
er perusals is the following
one: "Since the War of Sc
cesslon America is in a state
OF Decadence'. The author of
this astonishing remark is
none other than Hitler; it
was made to Hermann Raus-
chring, a former president of
the senate of Dantzig, as now
revealed in an interesting se-
rles of articles by the latter
in paris Soir". Herr Raus-
Ginning tells how he was a
guest at one of Hitler's din
ners in 1888. The question Of
Germany's making sure of
obtaining the friendship OF
the U. S. had come up, and
the F'uhrer expressed con-
tempt at the existing politi-
cal regime of that country.
The framework of great SO.
'clal hierarchy" he said, (which
was based on the concepts of slav.
cry and inequality, was destroyed
when the South was beaten). He
damned the system which ourport,
to put on equal footing the de,
Scendants of Spanish grandees and
the descendants of Scandinavian
Polish and Hungarian emigrants
and the scum of Oriental anA
Balkanic Hebrews" The spirit OF
combativeneSs, according to Hitler
would have to be awakened again
In the U. s.; and with 1t a strong
reaction against Negroes and peo.

lynch law and the realization
amongst some American elements

Time has passed and since then
1t has been shown how this plan
was put into effect, and what fats
has come to it. Much was heard Of
the Nazi trials over here. The II.

AFRICA DISCUSSED
Another statement has aroused
comment in some of the British,
press who want to know what au-
thority there is for its having been
made. The subject is that of the
return OF German colonies, and
Duff cooper. who was minister for
war until he resigned because OF
being unable to accept the Treaty
CT Munich in September, 1888, IL
taken to task for having said ir
lectures in the U. s. that Germany
would have been given colonies IL
Hitler had known how to handle
-he situation properly. Mr. Cooper
is reported to have said that, on
'eturn from Munich, Britain's
prime minister appeared to. be in
| mood for concessions and that
Germany's colonial claims would be
considered Since then the F'uhrer
lad antagonized Great Britain.
This is one more Of che many
hings that we shall not know
Ibout any too soon, but the fact
emainS that Duff Cooper was war
minister and, consequently in a
,osition to speak with authority.
While Africa figures here as a
subject for lectures and confer
