TO THE EDITOR:
IN REPLY to your recent edi-
i torial regarding traffic con-
gestion at Grand boulevard and
Second, Third, etc, during rush
hours, / submit the following:
1t would appear that the chief
reason for congestion on the
north and south streets is the
fact that four lanes of traffic
have TO be squeezed into two
lanes under the viaducts. If the
sidewalk area under the viaducts
could be resurfaced and used as
traffic lane during the rush
hours il would add two lanes of
cars on each street, thus afford
ing a much freer flow of traffic.
No doubt this plan would work
some hardships on the few Pc
destrians using the sidewalks
during these rush hours. but l
believe the benefits derived from
such a plan would more than
compensate for such inconven-
fence; or Cass and Woodward
could be left open for pedes-
TRANS. adopting the plan only on
Second, Third, John r. and
Brush.
This is suggested as a tempo
rary solution until such time as
a permanent plan such as ele-
waited crossings could be in
stalled, and it would cost very
little.

Can Hitler Be Through?
Speech Hints He Senses It
BY DOROTHY THOMPSON

N ODD passage cropped up
"A in Hitler's last speech, sig
nificant when taken together
with Doctor Goebbels article in
Das Reich.
Boosting in detail of the
brilliant victories on every
front, he suddenly warned:
"If there Is any German who
might seriously be hoping to
cause a break in the National
Socialist front, the moment will
Come when hit hard and
hghtning-like, and speedily elm
mate him."
And he added:
"NOt even camoufiage with re-
ligion will help"
And Doctor Goebbels, the
party's smartest little man,
writes a long apology for the
war, abandoning Hitler's charges
that il was all British-Ameri-
can plot and appealing to deeper
historical reasons, while seri-
ously pleading with the German
nation for continued endurance.
From persons who have re-
Gently been in Berlin the news
comes that the city is being
fortified. Why? Against whom?
For internal reasons?
COERING, it appears, is out.
~ His picture has been taken
down from offices in the Czech
protecorate. Is he really out or
is he only being kept on ice, for
move yet to come?
And Himmler apparently is
not appearing so much in the
news.
The active administration of
the Gestapo is in the hands of
Heydrich, a former naval officer,
then an army intelligence officer,
who is much closer to the gen.
erals. than Himmler is.
They are, we hear, Jodl and
Varlimont, the. one an intelli-
gence officer and the other
military economist, and the sus-
picion is that Himmler is there
to watch them and they are
there to watch Hitler.
DERSISTENT rumors are
i heard that all is not well be-
tween the Gestapo and the gen.
erals. in Germany and in the
occupied territories.
Another persistent rumor that
cannot be quelled is that at the
close of the Russian campaign
the generals will purge the
party and offer peace to the
world. without Hitler-and with
the blessing of the church.
Is that, perhaps what Hitler
meant by his odd warning, and
his reference to the camouflage
of religion"
From such portents I expect
that the moment will come
and perhaps soon--when the
generals, who clamped down on
Hitler once before, in 1894, and
forced the Roehm purge will
kick Hitler and the party chief
tains into oblivion.
Then we may be sure that pow
erful interests in all countries
will declare the war on Hitler
ism to be over and will be pre-
pared gladly to rush into the
arms Of the generals, who will
come forward with div c
branches.
IF THE world falls for that
i one, it is simply idiotic.
Our Communist friends have
preached for years that Hitler
was only the tool of the great
industrialists.

certain industrialists. notably o

dustries. But primarily he was
the creation of clique of gen.
erals who needed a mass dema-
cog to lead the people away
from pacifism and International
ism.
Hitler started his political
career as a reichswehr agent and
spy. The clique of generals
financed his first newspaper out
of secret funds. They planned
this CHASTITY war. They-not
Hitler-insisted on the occupa-
ton of Prague.
They--not Hitler-have bril-
liantly conquered continental
Europe. And they--not Hitler
intend to reap the benefits for
their class and their view of life.
THEY are gentlemen, these
l. generals, outwardly civil
lized; they never hung wallpaper
or conspired with cafe philoso-
piers in beer halls.
But they are the heirs of the
Prussian military tradition that
is absolutely incompatible with
the peace of Europe.
They are not one whit less
ruthless than the Gestapo.
But the generals mean Ger
man hegemony over EuraSia and
North Africa. They mean no
body else on the sidewalks.
They don't, like the Gestapo,
torture prisoners to extort Sc
crets. But they do not object to
mass murder in a clean, efficient
way.
EST anybody think that in
- my last articles / have sug-
gested this clique of generals as
a substitute for Hitler let him
Immediately be disillusioned.
These men are no less criminal
than Hitler; they are more
criminal.
They are not half-crazed
psychopaths like his Teutonic
madness. They are as cold as
ice. and know how TO use half
craZed pSychopaths for their
own interests.
And they also know how to
arrange for half-craZed psyche
paths to die natural deaths-or
unnatural ones.
Churchill knows il. He fore
sees the moment when they will
emerge in aristocratic purity
with an offer of peace, after
Hitler has been made-oh, mas
ter irony-into the scapegoat.
The Hoovers and Lindberghs
and others of this world will be
deceived. They are so easily
deceived.
Maybe the German people,
whose chief crime is an incon-
ceivable docility. will also be
deceived-but 1 don't believe it..
But nobody else in Europe
will be deceived. Not the last
peasant.

THESE. too, were victims OF
Il discrimination, and the
mother of the family of tin-can
tourists who preceded her before
the committee had presented a
specific case of discrimination
under very pathetic conditions.
The husband and father was a
good workman, the committee
was told. and wanted to work
and needed the job, but, was
turned off and forced TO accept
a job at much lower wages in
an unskilled craft.
The hodcarriers' union, which
only recently. and then under
the goad OF publicity. held its
first convention in 30 years. has
deprived countless families OF
eating dollars as the price OF
jobs on war plants. and has given
no detailed account of these vast
sums taken from the unskilled,
strong back types.
Many men have been turned
out of their jobs after they had
paid for them through the initia-
ton fee. But Mrs. Roosevelt
wouldn't know about that.
There are many bills in Con-
gress which would compel unions
ito file with the secretary of
labor information about their
ownership" and many of them
are literally owned by the boss
unioneers in control, and about
their income" but Mrs. Roose-
welt appears to be unaware OF
these proposals or of the abuses
which have made them neces.
sary.
A word from Mrs. Roosevelt
would help, and word from the
President would practically COM
pei the passage OF laws which
would stop such "reprehensible
practices" and protect the
good unions and make IL diff
cult for the others TO feather
their nests at the expense Of
employer and employee" but
Mrs. Roosevelt is silent on that
point.
/ said at the start that I often
wonder whether Mrs. Roosevelt
is naive or crafty. That was just
a way OF speaking. Mrs. Roose-
welt gets about; she knows the
facts and nobody can be that
naive.

~ 1IlE Eli Il hs
/ NOTED in the other days
Il press, news comments and
editorials concerning the mis-
conduct of certain people who
mistook Lord Halifax head for
a pumpkin and thereby let fly
sundry missiles.
l hold no brief for such con-
duct and can only lament the
fact that it happened. However,
we must remember that such an
entity as Halifax is representa-
tive of class--a class of titled
tape worms" who have been the
symbol of oppression for genera
tions.
To many Americans this

the idea of a sacred" cause and
thus condition popular fancy TO
the point where IL is believed
that the salvation Of Britain is
the salvation of America. This
false premise and the fact that
95 per cent of the press support
this fallacy is a continual source
of irritation to many and at
times their feelings get out Of
hand and then royal pates get
pelted."

he lacked $500 for his initiation
fee.
Mrs. Roosevelt brushed that
instance off with the remark
that she thought il must have
been an exceptional case.
But il wasn't exceptional: II
was typical, as she could have
learned by reading few pages
of the record of this and other
investigations and some OF the
many letters of protest which
must have come 10 her. as they
have come TO me, from desperate
and angry victims OF such prac-
tees.
Elsewhere Mrs. Roosevelt often
has inveighed against racial dis
elimination in employment.
Particularly on government
works in connection with the
war effort, and l have agreed
with her as. / suppose, most
other Americans do.
But though she condemns dis
elimination on account of race
she has certainly condoned and,
in my Interpretation, has In
dorsed the cruelest and most
arbitrary and avaricious discrim-
nation against thousands of in
dividual workers, regardless OF
race or religion, who happened

lacked the money or had too
much spirit TO join under COM
