Do you remember the fever- DiWttfiiauBlitcictff ish, the almost hysterical eagerness to make kidnaping a capital offense which swept legislature on legislature Missouri and California and other PRESS NATIONAL BLDG. Congress, again, Washington. has given a fine illustration of how a horse goes up to Neutrality the jump, then fails to take it. a Shell It faltered on the neutrality question. True, congress lias for another year the neutrality law that was put through under pressure a year ago but it did not have the necessary courage to go into that question and work out anything of a permanent character. The result, I am con Tinted, is that as soon as there Is any excuse whatsoever, neutrality for the United States will be noth Ing but a shell, I do not know, nor do I believe anybody can tell at this juncture whether the United States ought to embark on a rigid policy of isolation from affairs of the world but that is a question that is subordinate at tills moment. The point Is that congress, a year ago, made a great show of neutrality and put on a second stage performance only lately with the same theme song Since It has backed away from the real Issue It begins to appear that the original action was but hollow that the politicians mockery; moved a year ago with the thought In mind that they would not have to go on record so soon and that they could make the country feel it had elected statesmen. But, Instead, their course had led them to the point where a decision had to be made and they have dodged it. One of the reasons why this neutrality question has become so important is the combination of clr cumstances that has developed In Europe. The maneuvers have put our congress on the spot and it, like so many previous times, again lias wavered. It is diilicult to forecast what is going to happen In Europe but there are certain signs and portents that may not he ignored. His tory, as we nil know, has a habit of repeating itself and it promises to repeat itself in a hurry this time. Let us look at the European pic ture. On the one hand we have an alignment of France and England and probably Itussia. On the Gerother, we see Hltlerim! many, Austria and unly. There lias been nothing more tangible thus far than a haring of fangs. That Is, no overt acts have been committed but It always has been the case that the snarling and showing of teeth lias provided the setting, the atmosphere, for more serious accusations. It may never happen that Germany or Austria or Italy will take steps which France or Itussia could regard as an Invasion of national rights and then, again, any one of them at any time niav accidentally or deliberately do some minor thing that would provoke The chief significance of the reported alignment of Italy withGer many and Austria New is that the On tral Powers, as Alignment they stood In 1011, have been augmented by the strength of Fascist Italy. It means' that the Germany of 1014 has nc cess to the North sea and the Modi terrnnean Instead of just the North sea ns occurred 20 years ago. Collided with that fact Is the condition of a better defense for the If the agreement Central Bovvers. between Germany and Italy sticks. Geuimriy has only the western and Itussian fronts to maintain. It nl lows for a more compact military jirogram been use, Instead of guaid ing against Italv on the South. Germany has an ally In that direction from which sources of supply can be established. The fresh understandings worked out between France and England really are nothing more than a res toration of the arrangement th r existed In the World war. The British, on the surface at least, have no compact with Itussia but the French have a very definite agree ment with the Soviet. It seem likely, therefore, that If hostilities should break out again, the British and the Soviet will have no dlllicul ty In establishing a pact of mutual help. As a sidelight, tt seems to nit that the new dcvel ipments rather turn the spotlight on the policies of IMerre I.nval, former French forM.

Lets see how many more we enact before tlie spring thaw comes.

The French are very touchy about the Rhineland and any attempt by Germany to fortify the territory makes French nerves very jittery. It is only natural, then, that the French look upon the agreement with London ns an assurance of security In event Hitler should strike In the Rhineland. Through It all, foreign advices Indicate that British fists are gradually being doubled up against Hitler. This Is true notwithstanding the fact that the new King Edward VIII is trying to be friendly with Germany. Foreign dispatches and private advices explain that there is a notable recurrence among the British of discussion recalling German atrocities in the World war. Slowly but surely throughout England the old hatred Is arising. On the northern frontier of Germany there Is a new line of steel. The Communistic state of Russia looks with disfavor upon the Nazi. My Information is that it would take very little to provoke trouble there. Altogether, the situation is one where, if a stone rolls down a mountain side, It could very easily become the detonation cap that would explode an ammunition dump. With these facts In mind, one can understand readily the gravity of the relations between the United States and the rest of the world. One can understand as well why congress was rather anxious to avoid legislation of a broader scope In International affairs than already was operative. Yet, this does not alter the fact that if congress had no Intention of establishing a real neutrality policy, it should not have enibaiked on a course designed to that end. It was either engaging In a game of fooling the public a year ago or it has jnt now demonstrated a most cowardly attitude. Now to get back home, we observe a maneuver by President Roosevelt to link Roosevelts North and South Maneuver American nations Into a new agreement. While none of our ofliclols will say that tills move has any connection with European development, I believe that observers generally are of the opinion that It has an Important hearing on the situation hevond the Atlantic. It ought to tie helpful In keeping the United States out of that mess or, If the future forces us Into it and, In the meantime, there is a sound arrangement worked out between nations of the western hemisphere, their combined strength ought to put an end to European strife more quickly thnn If those European nations were left to fight It out alone In other words, if XIr.

UTLEY that I am, I am through all that you are, are through me. Nev er has there been a closer between a leader and his By WILLIAM bond followers than between you and me. Thus spoke Adolf Hitler, the Reichsfuehrer, to the German people, personified by an audience of 23,000 picked Brown Shirt Storm troops on the third anniversary of his appointment as chancellor January 30. For three years now the will has been the ironclad law of the land. And Its all right with him. John Gunther, the distinguished foreign correspondent of American newspapers, In his new book about dictators, says that when the throngs raise their right arms in the Nazi salute and cry, Ilpil, Hitler! Adolf Hitler replies, Hell, Hitler! It was on March 27, 1933, that the Reichstag gave the Hitler cabinet the right to govern the nation by decree. So late this month the Nazi dictator begins Ids fourth jear under that delegation of authority, an authority he has used to the fullest extent of its boundaries, if, indeed, such authority may And tipi be said to have limits. Reichstag lias been swallowed up by the shadow of oblivion. It lias gone for a year without meeting Going into its fourth year, the Hitler regime faces many difiieul ties of economy and currency, but few of a political nature. No matter what happens, the National Socialist party Is in no danger of a downfall. It speaks with the mouth of the German people, for a vast majority of them are satisfied that It is what they want. Bropaganda machines enormous in their Influence aie building Us doctrine ns part and parcel of the generation to come. People Lose Political Freedom. Freedom is not a privilege that Na.iism has earned for the Germans, unless It Is fieedom from hunger and freedom from moial and military subjugation to the nations which won the war. Freedom of political expression does not exist, for the law says that there can lie but one political party the National Socialist party. Freedom of the press died completely with the press laws of October 5, 1933; now any journalist who violates the rigid censorship or, indeed, even fails to interpret the news as the government wants it interpreted, is deprived of ids means of livelihood. I ieedom of worship is hardly more than a memory. But national leaders who asked for four years in which to return Germany to prospeiity have much to point to with pride. When Hitler became chancellor there were 0,013,G12 workers unemployed, and at the end of 1933 there were 2,505,-btH- i. This change lias been brought about by schemes of the state in creating labor. Most of these schemes operate on only the most precarious footing, however. There has been much Industries Juggling with finance. have been forced to return workers to employment, whether they were needed or not, until the burden Is Banks have nearly backbreaking. been forced to subscribe to great loans, one nfter the other, and these loans have been used to prime business on the theory that in the normal production cycle the money would find Us way hack Into the banks; one good scare to Lighten the public Into boarding Us money even for a slant time would colvvi!h the lapse the whole Geiman troiMiry in the position Reichs-fuehrer- s sv'-iem- , which it Is.

Refugees Aid Solution. )l a billion nnlii'U's have been re turned to work by the German plan of rearmament which, after a few years, will be completed ; for these millions the employment problem is not being solved, but postponed. Another 200,000 have been taken by conscription into the army, and still another 200,000 are serving in the labor corps. Some 100,000 refugees from the hard Nazi racial policy, most of them Jews, have lightened the unemployment burden. By decree of November 15, 1935, Jews were denied the right to work for the state, as well as the political rights of citizenship. They have been denied the right to Intermarry with Aryan Germans or to employ Aryan German maids .under the age of forty-five- . In 1933 there were about half a million .Tews in Germany; most of those slid remaining would like to move out, hut cannot unless they s of their leave about money behind them. The National Socialist aim Is to raise solid families of pure Aryan sloik. The party believes that womans place is in the home, and has removed thousands of women from employment, replacing them with men. It was the Idea of the nitler govgovernment-maintaine- d four-fifth- ernment that the of Industry with federal funds would encourage the organs of private business to increase their function until they should get along without aid, hut this objective is about as far as ever from attainment. The government has merely succeeded in creating huge state credits which this generation's children and childrens children will have to make good. To make matters worse the vast sums spent for armaments will produce nothing that can be consumed, and so will not add to the nation's real wealth In any way. Democratic countries, too, could bring temporary relief to unemployment were they to resort to the defiant militarism of the new Gerpump-primin- many. One of the countrys chief economic difliculties Is the export trade, mighty Important in a manufacturing nation. Foreign credit was ruined when the government was forced to cancel all its foreign obligations, and with the depleted reserves of the treasury the obtain-nieof raw materials, most of which must be imported, Is hard. What can he obtained is costly and the state, in order to facilitate prices that would allow Its exports to compete, has exacted hack breaking sums from the exporting industries for subsidies. Farmer Was National Hero. Much - importance was placed upon the farmer by the Nazi propaganda mill during the first two years of the Hitler regime, for it was expedient to make the nation as self supporting as possible. The farmer was a hero for a while, but the high prices of his products in the cities are fast reducing his status. that the mark was a little stronger, with better gold and foreign exchange holdings, and with exports showing a surplus. Although the National Socialist party has accomplished many of the objectives outlined for these four years, the unification of the state has not yet been completed, since the old dynastic boundaries of the German states still obtain. Preparation for remapping into 20 states of more natural physical and economic boundaries within the next three months is well under way. The state has emerged supreme over party during the last two years. The purge of June 30, 1934, demonstrated the power of the army over the National Socialist organizations, when Capt. Ernest Roehm and his radical associates were wiped out. The bombshell which broke when Germany op March 1(5, 1033, announced Its proof military conscription, gram organized as expertly and Impare tially as in the days of the Prussian militarism, further demonstrated the supremacy of the state. The party has become merely the hearer of the state's political will. Army leaders have wisely left all internal politics to the party. Conscription Well Received. Propaganda has been cleverly directed to the emotions of young Germany and its Inherited love of the military, with the result that conscription has been well received. The young recruit is Inspired by the thrill of knowing that he's getting into a darned good army. The fond Is good, the quartering excellent and the discipline the kind to arouse German admiration. Conscription, of course, affected the nations foreign relations, as well ns those of every other European nation, for It made of international disarmament an Impossible thing. The effect was Intensified by the naval agreement with England. Hitlers first pact with anothr er nation was the treaty of with Poland, in January, 1934. In March, 1935, the Saar plebiscite returned that valuable mining territory to the Reich, and legally eliminated a point of dangerous friction with France. Germany and Italy almost reached a friendly agreement but fell out over the future of Austria; now with Mussolini very busy waging war in East Africa, 'der Fuehrer is contented to pursue a patient course of strict neutrality. Perhaps the most spectacular evidence of the Iron hand of Hitler lias been shown in the dealings of the state with the church, particularly the Roman Catholic church, although the Protestant church has also felt its weight. In the effort of the Reich to stamp out what it Is pleased to call Political Roman the church press has Catholicism, been stifled, and priests and nuns have been condemned for violations of the states rules on foreign exsemi-milita- old-tim- ton-yea- Gorman currency has hung on for change. dear life during Hitler's throe Stats Differs With Church. years.
