By HEINZ POL, former assistant editor of the Berlin
Vossische Zeitung; for Federated Press

MY cOlleagueS ana l interview
ed many liberal people in those
hectic times when the Weimar
republic was going to pieces.
Most Of them agreed they did
not like Hitler and company at
all.
But many ended up with: After all,
this Hitler promises to wipe out the
reds and save US from communism.
He has promised not to touch the 9TH
er parties and above all to leave the
constitution intact, SO there's no real
danger"
Since | had watched the growth Of
fascism in Italy on trips to Rome and
other Italian cities in the POS, | used
to point out that Mussolini. too, had
promised to wipe out only the reds.
At first he seemed to keep his word.
He only prosecuted the communists
and eve allowed the socialist party
to remain in opposition.
But there came a time. in 1924. when
Mussolini ordered the murder of the
socialist party leader. Matteoti. The
socialists, liberals and other progress
sives then tried to protest. But Mus
solini merely wiped out the last re-
mains of opposition, d~issolving all 9TH
er parties and organizations. unions
and political clubs.
If Only They'd Known
IF we had only known that Mus
solini was rascal enough to break all
his promises and prosecute us-we,
who are by no reds-we would
have fought him from the beginning"
a former Italian socialist leader told
me after a hasty escape to >France.
Il don't think Hitler will keep his
word to fight only the reds in Ger
many and leave everybody else alone,
either. Better watch out
The German liberals to whom | told
this merely smiled and said: THAT
may be true so far as Mussolini is
concerned. But Germany is not Italy.
Here the non-communists are strong.
especially in the unions. They have
an old tradition and know how to
fight back. Let Hitler get rid of the
reds and we'll see he goes no further"
Four weeks after Hitler had been
made chancellor his storm troops, dis
guised as communists. burned the
reichstag building in Berlin. He used
this crime in the eyes of the German
nation to outlaw the communist party
and imprison its leaders. At the same
time his party leaders told the people
that prosecution of the communists
did not at all mean he would violate
the rights of the unions.
That was March. 1893, and through
out Germany you could hear people
say: This man Hitler is not as bad
as the reds said. He has not revoked
the constitution. Everything will be
in order. He is only cleaning the
country and the unions Of reds"
II Can Happen Here!
The non-communist and in many
cases furiously anti communist union
leaders in Germany prepared for a
big May day demonstration to show
! the world how strong they were ever
under the rule Of Hitler. But a few

hours before the demonstration the
Hitler government dissolved all work
ers' and employees unions. arrested
their leaders and incorporated the I'M
ions into the newly founded Arbeits-
front.
The few union leaders who had not
been arrested were ordered to lead
their followers to The May Day dem
onstration under the guidance OF the
SA and the IS. It was the end Of free
trade unionism in Germany, regardless
of whether they we're socialist. Chris
tian or ever more conservative.
Some weeks later another Hitler
order dissolved every political party
in Germany. All opposition was purg-
ed. The terror regime started full
blast against everybody who did not
blow the Nazi horn, whether red.
democrat or liberal.

tested. ''What were the coppers

geant exploded. Talking

Whaddya mean, peaceful?"
3How many hours a day do
you work, Sarge?" asked.
''What the hell does that have
to do with it," he snapped, still
enraged. Eight hours"
DO you know that the only
reason you work eight hours
is because those Reds fought

Remember the Republic

just 10 years ago.. The Sem
ate civil liberties committee
said that those pickets were
shot in the back and dubbed
and chased with tear gas
and the clubs and the tear
gas were given to the coppers
by the company. Why?"
He was quiet for a moment.
Then he said quietly, Look;

brothers belong to union. But
I gotta live too. How long do
you think I'd have these stripes
If I bucked the companies?"

his cap back off his forehead
and yawned lazily. Spring was

odors from the Desplaines st.

I agreed. ''Open trough for a

After Dark
To Tax or Not to Tax His Problem;
Beneke at Watersate Thursday
BY HARRY MACARTHUR.

Lines must be drawn somewhere
and fine distinctions made. Some OF
the finest distinctions are to be
found in the Bureau of Internal
Revenues opinions Of what consti-
tutes entertainment. It was one OF
these that confronted James A. Pat
terson when he took over the
management Of the Sheraton Hotel
and began to sweep like . new
broom.
One of his first acts was to In
stall Organist Lee Potter IN the
Dubonnet Room to alternate with
and play duets with Pianist George
Berg. Separately or In combination,
Mr.. Berg and Mr.. Potter play music
that is pleasant to listen to. In
duet, they also can play music that
is tuneful and rhythmic for dancing.
That is where Mr.. Patterson met
his problems A man listening to
music, according to the Bureau Of
Internal Revenue, Is not being enter
tanned and he does not have to pay
the 20 per cent amusement tax. On
the other hand, man dancing is
being amused, even II he is having
his feet walked on and is being
bored to death by q friend of his
Aunt Minnie, who promised to call
him the minute she got of the
sightseeing bus. He pays the 20 per
cent tax for being walked on and
so does every one else in the room
while his entertainment Is per-
mitted.
Mr.. Patterson got to thinking
about that. Some people, lot of
people, he reasoned, might like to
eat and have their digestion aided
by soothing music without being
taxed for 1t. A man with q frac-
tured knee-cap might like to sit
slipping Dubonnet cooler, dream
ing of his past while Lee Potter
played "Liebestraum" He would,
though, resent paying via the tax
for the dancing Of callow youths
and lobbyists.
The Sheraton's manager knew
how to meet that problem, but he
thought he'd try to please every
one, including the callow youths and
lobbyists who like to dance. so now
there is dancing in the Dubonnet
Room Friday and Saturday nights,
to music by Mr.. Potter and Mr..
Berg. Other nights, no entertain
ment. just music by Mr.. Potter and
Mr.. Berg,
Another of Mr.. Patterson's changes
involves the opening OF the Du-
bonnet Room, which used to be a
night club. for breakfast and lunch
as well as dinner. AS nearly as we
could determine, this decision was
based on the fact that the kitchen
is on the same floor as the Dubonnet
