This is but another bit of evidence exposing the bestial natures of those who follow, acclaim and obey Hitler. For more than five years the fuehrer, once approved and extolled by pacific politicians and mvopic missionaries as a be a shock, of course, a nevolent reformer and invincible crusader destined to lead or direct the nations of the earth, has been slaughtering civilians by means of firing squads, secret assassins, huge roasting ovens, mutilating tortures and malnutrition under the lash of taskmasters. Racial antipathy, religious prejudice, per sonal animosity, differences of opinion, insane impulses and characteristic cruelty have been given full sway and free hands ever since 1 T it er's rise to power. Certain elements in Amer ica sough to placate the monster and others to extenuate his insatiate thirst for blood regardless of its source ar type. If Jews were not convenient, he consumed Christians; if foes were not abailable, he feasted on friends ; if there were not enough adults, he sucked the hearts of babies; and then he swaggered and bragged, or denounced his enemies and defied the world, frothing at the mouth and shrieking at the top of his phrenetic voice. The fact that Adolph Hitler is an Austrian exile who captivated and converted the tjer-ma- n people to a doctrine of deceit and destruction, has proved to be the most barbarious and inhuman criminal that ever lived, is not altogether incredible. That he could induce an intelligent, intellectual, sentimental and indus trious population of methodical mortals to par ticipate in his orgies of infamy, and to imitate or adopt his code of immoral savagery, is something that staggers belief. That he has poisoned and perverted the minds and souls of German youth almost unanimously, even though he orders their little playmates butch-ehre- d occasionally, is a threat to the future and warning against leniency in imposing terms of unconditional surrender. One cannot help wondering whv it took so long for his executed officers to become sufficiently disgusted with Hitler and his chieftains to murmur and plan a revolution ; nor can a reader of European history understand how any military man worthy of the designation will ever be able to overlook or foreive the hanging of eight high army officers a form of punishment that stains with obliquy and marital chronicles of Germany and hisses an insult into the ears of the warrior caste of Prussia. Hitler, Himmler, Goebbels, Goering and the lesser lights of nazi socialism now stand revealed to all mankind as a gang of thugs and torturers, of ravishers and robbers, of liars and libertines, without morals, without mercy, without conscience and without any of the virtues that mark man's resemblance to his Maker.

This was comparatively simple with a national debt of only around 18 billion dollars. But with a debt of two and a half to three hundred billion dollars, it will be quite a different story. And yet about the only remedy we hear cohorts is the removproposed by al of all government controls and restrictions and a return to the conditions that prevailed in 1929 to 1933. There is not even a suggestion to place ceilings on incomes and fortunes, or restrictions on monopolies or cartels. The old with the gambling den is to be run wide-opesky the limit, if there is a change in govern ment. There is plenty of noise about "bureauracv' and government interference. There is a strong protest against the taxing of surplus profits and incomes in the higher brackets; and hearty applause of every proposal to rob the little fellow of every possible dollar on the pretext of preventing inflation, while they insist that the wealthy individuals and carpora-tion- s should be relieved of taxation in order that they may be able to finance production and supply jobs, they tell us.

R is virtually swamped with measures designed or purporting to accelerate and cushion the reconversion from wartime to peacetime economy and production. The question of supply ing satisfactory jobs for the returning men in armed services to civilian life, as well as keep ing on the men and women now employed who wish to or must work and desire to share equitably in the national income, is perhaps the biggest problem that confronts Congress and the entire nation, under the existing economic setup. When we hark back to our experiences in the early 30's and remember the conditions that maintained then, we are led to wonder if there is any solution to the post-wa- r employment problem in this country, with the retention of our socalled "free enterprise" and the profit motive? Of course, if our only concern were the reconversion of war plants to peacetime uses, and the employment of our people in the creation of the things they want to make them comfortable and happyrwith access to the raw materials and the plants and equipment present in this country, it would be no problem. It would merely be a pleasure and worthwhile accomplishment, with everyone fully satisfied and happy. But athwart this intelligent, happy solution, are the shadows of "free enterprise," private control of property and money, plants and equipment, and the profit motive, n which insists that industry must go on a strike unless this craving is fully satis- i Coupon for Full Information Mai!
