AN INSIDE S I OK V Word trickling back to the diplomatic corps from Germany indicates that Hitler is beginning to realize that the United States means business, and that he marie a in not accepting the advice of his more nscrva'ive diplomats v.hu warned him of this in the fust place in fact, the inside story, whnh now can be told, is one of the most tragic of the war Possibly if it had not been for overweening personal jealousies the war might even have been prevented. What happened was that when H. ms DieekhofT. German ambassador to Washington, returned to Ber-liin 1033. he brought back a strong teport that the United States would enter the war eventually if Germany became the aggressor. He was ready to warn that Germany faced . a repetition of But Foreign Minister Von Ribbentrop would not let him see Hitler. Ribbentrop. probably the most ambitious man around der Fuehrer and a great friend of Himmler, wanted to be the funnel for all advice going to Hitler. Also he was feeding him his own kind of aggres- sive advice, not the cooling caution of Ambassador DieekhofT. In the same cautious school with the ambassador were Baron Von Neurath, recently ousted as governor of Czechoslovakia because f his moderate Hjalmar views; Schacht, governor of the Reiclis-barik- , now in virtual ietirement; and Capt. Fritz Wiedemann, Hitlers former commander and more recently consul general at San Francisco. Even Field Marshal Goer-inwas much more moderate than Von Ribbentrop. Czech Putsch Delayed. It was Captain Wiedemann, who. around May, 1938, chiefly persuaded Hitler not to invade Czechoslovakia. He was then Hitler's military aide and attended a meeting of der Fuehrer's inner advisers at which general staff advised caution. Final- ly Hitler, exasperated, threw up his arms and ordered them all out of the room. But Wiedemann stayed b hind, and finally persuaded his clua to delay the march into Cczchoslo vakia at least until the fall of was done. Later, it was Wiedemann and hi moderates who persuaded Hitler t receive Chamberlain and Dalndic. at Munich. But by this time it wal too late for Ambassador DieckholT to tell his story. Ribbentrop never forgave Wiedemann for this. Also his vaunting ambition would permit no rival close to Hitler. So, shortly thereafter, he got Wiedemann transferred to a dis tant and relatively unimportant German consulate in the U S A. Later when Wiedemann was deported from this, country, it is significant that Ribbentrop once again transferred him as far as possible from Berlin this time to Tientsin, China. The foreign minister of Germany wants no moderates around. SEVERAL ALTERNATIVES AHEAD OR ELSE INFLATION THE GOVERNMENT is pouring out billions of dollars In the form of exceptionally high wages for the production of war materials This increased revenue in the hands of the people is producing an unusual cl mund for civilian consumer goods.

He may not know it, but he pays that $142 annual interest charge. It is a part of his tax bill or, indirectly, it is as a part of the price of everything he buys.

CTICALLY OYER: Say the Xazis RR WAR: ISeie Phase Evacuation of the foreign consulates from Moscow and the torpedoing of the U. S. S. Destroyer Kearney off Iceland, occurring ns they did about the same time, were looked upon as two major events marking the entrance into a new phase of the war. Immediate reaction to these reports was noticeable in their effect upon the congressional voting on changes being considered for the U. S. neutrality law. Effect of the news was also reflected in the progress of the "aid for Russia" program in which the United States, Great Britain and Russia were engaged. On Patrol' First news of the Kearney incident came from Washington when the navy announced that the destroyer (one of the newest types) had been torpedoed while on patrol duty off tlie coast of Iceland. This report indicated that the ship was able to proceed under its own power. President Roosevelt on the same day issued a statement saying that the torpedoing was clearly in the American defense zone. Removal of the consulates from Moscow took place as the Germans, with their long range guns, began their "all out" campaign against the city.
