While it is true that individuals

not taken steps to encourage private

with a modest return on its invest

and later chief of state, he could
seldom extemporize but had to
read important pronouncements
from prepared copy.
Yet these speeches, too, during
the first six or seven years of his
dictatorship showed a remarkable
psychological understanding Of
the German people.
During one OF my interviews
some years ago I said to the Ger
man dictator: 1--WE are all aware
that you owe a great part OF your
success to your ability to win over
the masses of the people by your
personal appeal in extemporane-
GUS speeches. Now that you are
the head of government, you must
write out most of your pronounce
ments. Does that not cramp your
style?"

That was some years ago. Today
his speeches don't have the
same compelling power with his
hearers.
Lives on Mount Olympus.
The explanation seems to lie
in the fact that Adolf Hitler now
lives in a cloud-world of his own,
high up on Mount Olympus, and
that his contacts with the real
world are carefully filtered by
the coterie OF confidants about
him.
In short, Hitler no longer sees
his German people through his
own eyes. but through the strong
ly colored spectacles of his
underlings.
These underlings permit Hitler
to hear only what they think he
should hear.
One German ambassador, re-
turning from his post TO report,
told Hitler all he thought his
chief of state might be interested
In knowing about the country to
which he was accredited. Before
leaving Hitler's study, however,
he presumed to put in a good
word for a friend who had been
taken to concentration camp by
the Gestapo.

been released" Hitler replied,
obviously surprised.

Listen in on Hitler.
When the Ambassador reached
the anteroom the SIS guard on
duty spoke to him harshly.
"If you dare once more to dis
cuss matters with Der Fuehrer
that are not on the agenda," he
shouted, your career is finished"
The diplomat then realized
that the Gestapo listens in even
on Hitler's discussions with
visitors.

Ruid on Cologne Declared No Sign Thut Nuzis

there is no example yet Of q
country being defeated by avia-
ton without the effective assist
ance Of sizeable landing forces.
The japanese succeeded In
throwing the United Nations out
Of large Western Pacific areas by
dint of air superiority supple
mented by land forces. Their
success was due, however. in large
= measure to the fact that they had
complete air supremacy, since the
United Nations had practically no
planes to oppose them.
Relative Strength Unknown.
This Is not yet the case with
Germany. Whether the Nazi air
arm is inferior, equal or superior
to that Of the United Nations, no
responsible general staff dares
say. The Nazis have kept the Sc
cret OF their plane production,
both as to quantities and types.
Periodic assertions that we have
air superiority over the Axis have
never been definitely substan-
tiated. Under these circum-
stances responsible military quar-
ters in Washington, while de-
lighted with the success of the
Cologne raid and optimistic that
similar operations will contribute
to seizure of the initiative from
the Germans, are cautious and
refrain from describing the Sat-
urday raid on Cologne as a def
mite sign that the Nazis will be
brought to their knees in 1912.
These quarters acknowledge,
however, that a continuation Of
such raids on large scale will
give us q definite clue as TO
whether a landing on the CONT
nent Of Europe could be at
tempted under the protection Of
British and American air forces.
The Nad defense was weak at
Cologne. Whether this was due
to surprise or because the bulk Of
the Nazi air fleet Is in other re-
gions, has not been ascertained.
1t is similarly uncertain whether
1t was lack of planes on the west
ern front or some other reason
which made the Nal counterraid
on Canterbury yesterday such q
dismal failure.
The answers to these questions
are likely to be given within the
next few days. 1t will then be

nold upon tne masses Is grad
ually slipping.
The most recent case in point
Is his Reichstag speech OF April 26.
Thoughtful Germans still are
asking themselves: How could
Hitler at the end of a terrible
winter, which took severe toll
of German life at the Russian
front, inaugurate spring by tell
ing the nation that next winter
better transportation would be
provided in the East? Why not
see first how the summer Of
fensive turns out and reserve talk
about the next winter until then?
We who heard the speech on
our secret radio during the final
days of our internment at Bad
Nauheim noted the depressing
effect upon the German hotel
personnel.
American businessmen who
joined us on the S. S. Drottning-
holm directly from Berlin told us:
"A few more such speeches and
the masses are through with Hit
Ter. They don't want to hear Of
another winter of war"
Played With Audiences.
How explain Hitler's obvious
weakening in psychological un-
derstanding?
There was a time when Hit
ler's sensibility in feeling out
his way with the crowds was
nothing short of uncanny. I have
seen him address soldiers, wom-
en-, agricultural workers, party
functionaries, little tradesmen. I
have seen him stand before high
brow academicians and before
hundreds of common folk.
Invariably I was impressed
with Der Fuehrer's ability to be
all things unto all men. Hitler
played with his audiences as an
orchestra conductor plays with
the members of his musical en-
semble.

cess of the Cologne raid. But
these quarters caution against
excessive optimism regarding the
effect of such raids on the final
outcome of the war.
They emphasize that the Co.
logne raid was a brilliant piece Of
work which caught the Nazis
mapping. Relatively few inter-
ceptor planes met the invading
force and the defense consisted
largely of ground batteries. The
damage inflicted on Cologne was
great. Still it would be foolish to
say that Germany's war effort
has been seriously affected as a
result.
Land Forces Important.
Considerable concern is voiced
in military quarters over exu-
berant comments from London to
the effect that a continuation OF
such offensives might knock the
Germans out OF action before the
end of this year.
1t is recalled for wishful think
ers that the Nazis attacked the
British Isles in 1910 with similar
If less numerous-waves of
bombers. At that time the Brit
ish had only an embryonic air
force, which could not be COM
pared with what the Nazis have
today. Yet, the Nazis were not
able to break the backbone OF
British resistance by night and
day attacks, directed both against
British production centers and
the population.
The territory which must be
covered by combined American
and British air forces in an at
tack against the Reich and the
conquered countries is about six
times as great as the area the
Nazis had to cover in their 1910
air offensive. 1t is also pointed
out that despite the overwhelm-
ing importance OF the air arm,

opinion, or even to decline to
review the case. If the case
could be expedited, a decision
might be made before the elec-
tions are held next November.
Court Can Conclude Case.
The President, or the court, as
the case may be, could step in
and rescue Mr.. Bridges from
deportation. If the court settles
the matter finally, however, the
issue will have been concluded,
once and for all. The President
could not be accused of playing
politics, or especially favoring the
Communicates he might be if
he decided in favor of Bridges.
Mr.. Bridges is an Australian.
Australia is another ally Of the
United States in this war. Wheth-
er Australia would like to take
Mr.. Bridges back to its bosom is
something else. But If Australia
has no use for Mr.. Bridges, is
there any particular reason why
he should be forced on this
country? Between domestic and
international politics. the case
of Mr.. Bridges is something out
of the ordinary.
The ruling of the Attorney
General regarding the Communist
party of America, while 1T met
with the belief of the great ma
jority of the American people,
was almost as much of a surprise
as the order to transport Mr..
Bridges. He held that this party
was pledged to the overthrow of
the United States Government by
force-not today or tomorrow,
but whenever such a revolution
could be effective. Maybe this is
another matter the Supreme
Court might pass upon, in the
light of the legislation under
which Bridges is to be deported.
That legislation did not mention
the Communist party in so many
words, but said that any alien
who belonged to an organization
advocating the overthrow of the
American Government by force
should be deported. The Attor-
ney General put up a pretty good
argument to prove that the Com
munist party of America fell into
that category.
Group Backs Bridges.
All the intellectual "pinks' and
fellow travellers" in the country
have rushed to the defense of Mr..
Bridges. What they have to say
about Mr.. Biddle would fill a
book. Yet Mr.. Biddle not long
ago was looked upon as an espe-
cial champion of the liberals. not
to say radicals. A Citizens Com
mittee for Harry Bridges was or
ganized more than a year ago.
Its membership is said to include
more than $50 educators, attor-
neys, writers and ministers. A
group of that character naturally
can make lot of noise. Here is
what the committee chairman,
Prof. F. o. Matthiesson, Of Har-
ward University, has to say:
The Attorney Generals de-
cision is incomprehensible in view
of the record. Moreover, it comes
at a time when the need for unity
is paramount. I would like to
affirm that Bridges record shows
him a magnificent fighter both
for democracy and equality. We
need him on our West Coast"
That is just a sample of what the
rest of the committee is saying.
The Bridges case holds its share
of political dynamite 1t will be
interesting whichever way the
final decision goes.

and two representatives each from in
dustry and labor to be appointed by
the War Labor Board. This Appeals
Committee will handle appeals from
decisions of the Wage Administration

TO STABILIZE

WASHINGTON-FP) TO insure
the record food production in 1943
needed to give aid to our allies, Pres
ident Roosevelt moved November 80
to halt the flow of manpower from
farms and recruit new labor.
He did this not by freezing workers
to their jobs but by putting a floor
to wages, defining existing wage lev
els as substandard and by making
Secretary of Agriculture Claude Wick
ard administrator of wage regulations
for farm labor.
The new regulation, urged by Eco
nomic Sterilization Director James
F. Byrnes, stresses the need of re-
tanning and recruiting labor to supply
this country and the United Nations
with needed food and fibers.
Wickard warned that this nation
must ration and allocate foods with
the knowledge that it cannot produce
enough for our demands otherwise.
On Allied needs he said:
so serious has been the loss of
the great food producing area of the
Ukraine that food shipments are as
important as shipments of planes and
tanks and guns to Russia"

The American public this week

about the right of the two large broad
casting corporations to deny the con-
sumer co-operatives the right to buy
time on the air. The National Broad

Broadcasting System have refused to
sell time on stations they own and
manage to The Cooperative League
of the USA for its program Lets Get

nanced by the contributions of sew
eral thousand coop members who

vantages of consumer cooperation.
The program was scheduled to go on
the air over 80 stations from coast
