This Changing World
ltoIy Unlikely to Be Forced Out Of War
As Long as Germany Stoves OFF Collapse

allowed to look at it. but not per-
mitted to touch 1t.
The future is all-important,"
DR.. Goebbels blares through the
press and radio. Eat less and
wear less now that you may gorge
and live in luxury later he tells
the Germans.
1t was hoped in United Nations
capitals that this long continued
Iron ration to which the NaZi
populace has been subjected
would cause serious reactions
when German victories began to
fall off. News from Russia in the
last few months has been far
from stimulating for the German
people, and observers hoped that
this would tend to destroy the
morale of the Nazi home front.
Nazi Morale Still Good.
The effects of hundreds of
thousands of wounded returning
from the Eastern front was not
what Washington and London
anticipated, because the German
propaganda organization took the
bull by the horns and gave out
not only the whole truth of the
reverses, but in some instances
painted the situation blacker
than it actually was. Thus the
stories told by the wounded only
confirmed the communicates.
So far as can be learned by
well-informed organizations in
Washington, the morale of the
German people has not been
affected yet and there is still
full confidence in an ultimate
Nazi victory. The few critics still
remaining in Germany are quick
ly silenced, either in concentra-
ton camps or by firing squads.
The army's morale is still good,
according to the same reports.
The Nazi forces have been i'm
bued with fanatical zeal by many
years of propaganda and hard
training. The Russian campaign
has been long and costly, but
the Nazi troops were told last
fall that the high command ex-
pected to hold a strategic line
from which it cannot be dis
lodged and that has actually
happened. 1t is true that our
entrance into the war created
certain confusion, but Japanese
successes in the Pacific have
helped the Nazi forces to stand
the shock.
This survey, which comes from
reliable sources abroad, is ac-
cepted as factual and American
military and naval leaders con-
clude that 50 long as the Nazis
stave OF collapse there is little
chance Italy will fold up.
Italy has been considered an
ineffectual factor in the war
ever since the Greek campaign
in 1941. This was confirmed
when the Italian feet proved
worthless. Hence, the military
potential of Italy has long been
discounted.
The Allies are more concerned
over the French fleet,

Judges who do not recognize the
rules of the hour will be removed
from office"
These are the new powers that
Hitler asked of his Reichstag on
Sunday and that he got.
So far, have seen no comment
in explanation of what this
means. 1t is of the most star
tling significance. With the grant
of these powers, Hitler has
brought down the entire struc-
ture of the German state as it
has existed since Bismarck.
1t may be said that he has
always had these powers. But
this is not quite true. Hitler tried
to take over the administrative
structure of the state complete,
and switch it into line" That
structure consisted of vast
hierarchy of duly acquired
rights"-the German words are
"wohlerworbene Rechte"-which
affects nearly everybody In Ger
many. and which have been
carefully built up for generations.
An Unwritten Constitution.
The structure of these legal
rights Is what constitutes the
social security of Germany. They
are the unwritten constitution Of
the German nation. These duly
acquired rights" are the very
basis of the German claim to be
a social state.
They cover such things as the
right not to be dismissed from
a job without compensation ac-
cording to the number Of months
or years Of service; the right to
vacations, commensurate with
the length of service; the right in
the civil and armed services to
regular promotion If ones duties
are conscientiously fulfilled; the
considerations of seniority, and
finally to pensions, to which
nearly every German who has
faithfully worked during his life
may look forward in his old age.
The intricate system Of such
rights can be summed up by
saying that they comprehend
those freedoms which have al
ways been dearest to the Ger
mans; not freedom of speech or
religion, but freedom from want
and fear.
OF these rights every German
under the Nazis has meen jealous.
They constitute what is known as
"Prussian Socialism" They are
the rights which are achieved by
the fulfillment of obligations
the German word literally trans
lated means "well-earned rights"
not rights granted in nature to
all men, but rights worked for.
Challenges Tradition
Therefore it is impossible to
exaggerate the Importance OF
what Hitler has done. BY stretch
ing his hand into the structure
of these rights, he challenges the
whole German tradition; he
seizes power to terrorize every
one. and he also possesses an i'm
mense power of corruption.
Previous to this decree, if a
German general disagreed with
a policy, he could tender his res
igation. He was out of the ser
vice. but his years of fidelity en-
titled him to honorable retire
ment on pension. Today If he
disagrees. he can be thrown on
the streets or "entfernt"-re-
moved-liquidated.
The threat of the confiscation
Of all his security hangs over
every one. 1t is for the German
the ultimate terror.
But these rights can also be
transferred under tbis roau, ia

Twenty thousand evacueeS from
London and the surrounding cities,
a smaller number of refugee scholars
from Europe, plus constant stream
of soldiers and airmen have so
changed the face of oxford that the
University no longer dominates the
town.
Students and professors are in the
minority now and when groups OF
black gowned young men and wo-
men pedal down High Street on their
bicycles today, they cause scarcely a
ripple among the civilians who
crowd sidewalks, cafes and theaters
Accommodations are difficult to
get, prices are high and many OF
the smart London West End shops
have followed their customers to this
place by establishing small shops
which have better looking clothes on
display than you'll find in London.

illness in the colleges of the Univer-
sity which American students re-
