Norman Maier of the University of Ur higan who predicted the failure of the Munich appeasement program by demonstrating in advance thut according to psychological principles, It could not succeed, recently made some interesting observations. He said that Hitler would be liquidated and a revolution would take place in Germany as soon as the last of the "myths created by the German propagandists Vor the purpose of lulling the Germans into a false sense of security were exploded The Germans, he explains, beHitlong to a "frustrated society ler cured their frustration with aggression, when aggression is frustrated, nothing else will he left. all of Fiirupe to M irr u k or all ar mod Afuca to the Middle Fa 1 But inti rior liras bet nine a weakness whin a ration guts on ttie deft nsive As a matter of fact.
