MAY Be RIFFS
BETWEEN HITLER
and GENERALS

Rumors of riffs between Hitler and
his Generals are in the air again.
Even if they were true their signlfI-
canoe would be very different from
that which the enemy hopes we will at
tach to them.
A real split between the Nazis and
the regular army leaders would of
course be somewhat encouraging. 1t
would offer us an opportunity to
bring the war to a speedier end by
greater exertion toward a complete
military victory. But to point out this
possibility is not the purpose of these
rumors, nor would it be the purpose
behind an actual rift within the
Reich.
Doubtless as the turning tide rises
ever more threateningly against the
Reich, the military caste will seek to
associate itself from Hitler. 1t will
do this in the hope of negotiating a
peace that will leave at least the foun-
dations of German military might in
tact In any war which develops as
this one has-that is, in which the
initial offensives fail to bring a de-
discretionary must prepare an
other strategy-a strategy of peace
If this is successful the Germans may
win the war even though they have
lost its decisive battles in the field.
A more thorough understanding of
this German concept of war and peace
might have prevented the mistakes
that permitted German leaders first
of all to Organize sympathy" after
the last war, to maintain an officers
training school in the form of a seem
ingly harmless small army, to further
improve its officers by sending them
abroad to train other armies, and to
gain actual experience in modern war
fare as they did in Spain.
1t is a maxim of German military
thinking that war is the exercise of
politics by other means. War thus be-
comes merely an extension of mill
tarist concept of peace. Likewise it
is fact that peace is looked upon by
military and by many political and in
tellectual leaders in Germany, as an

extension of war
This thinking has developed partly
as a result of the geographical posi-
ton of Germany, which has led that
nation to adopt strategy in which
the military offensive has first place
Such thinking, however, has been
brutalized and given mystic appeal
by the materialism of much German
philosophy.
An awareness of the relation of war
and peace in the German system of
thought will do much to warn other
peoples against traps that may be laid
for them in German peace offensives.
These traps, it should be understood,
are not very different whether set in
a Nazi "peace" ambush or in one that
uses as a decoy the overthrow of Hit
Ter in favor of the Generals.
The object of such moves is to catch
the free world in the snare of cheap
peace" No one knows better than a
German militarist that there is nc
such thing. The rest of us should know
it, too, by now.

American soldiers sang these words
in Westminster Abbey on Thanksgiv-
ing Day, 1912.
One likes to think that the timbers
of the Abbey are seasoned not only
by time but by the majestic music OF
song and speech that have reverber-
ated from them through the ages. II
this is so, then the grand concord that
swelled there as American soldiers
sang their Thanksgiving hymns is
more than a fine memory. 1t is part
of the Abbey forever-a living part
Just as the inspiring moments Amer
lean soldiers passed there will live in
their memory and world outlook long
after they have returned to the pur-
pie mountains, the fruited plains, the
alabaster cities, of their homeland.
o beautiful for pilgrim feet,
Whose stern, imprisoned stress
A thoroughfare for freedom beat
Across the wilderness!
Many a longing glance the Pilgrims
are said to have cast backward as
their ship sailed out of Plymouth or
that portentous day so long ago. Many
a longing glance may these American
soldiers have cast backward as their
ship began the return trip. Westward
once, eastward again-but both ways
for freedom.
o beautiful for heroes proved
In liberating strife,
Who more than self their country
loved,
And mercy more than life!
All over the world on Thanksgiv-
ing Day, 1912, men who had known
these words a lifetime were praying
feasting, singing with men and women
who could hear in the lovely and sub
stantial stanzas of Katherine Lee
Bates a new garment of praise fol
old blessings, a new promise of full
fiIlment of old and common virtues
The world is going to be different
because of Thanksgiving Day, 1912
It's going to be better because of it.
