For example, famous storm ops are supposedly of a fraternal v .der, and do not technically come under un-der the classification of an army. As a matter of fact, they are well-trained, I well equipped, thoroughly disciplined fighting men. No man living has made a more spectacular rise than Hitler. Ten years ago he was in prison for starting an abortive revolution against the Republican German government gov-ernment of the time. Sentenced to a long term, he was pardoned, in the belief that he was small political fry, could do no harm. Today he is more powerful and ruthless than even Mussolini Mus-solini and Stalin. His slightest word is law, and the faintest criticism of his policies is cause for arrest, con- eentration in one of the camps for political prisoners he has created in various parts of Germany and pos-" pos-" sibly execution. Most European powers pow-ers would give much to see the Hitler ' government collapse the Nazi movent move-nt ment is gaining ground ominously in other countries.

It is an unquestioned un-questioned fact that he no longer enjoys en-joys the vast popularity he once did, R E and that groups are forming with the Jain objective of eliminating him. It is an 1 important sign of the trend that he is ' growing constantly harsher in sup- pressing opposing opinion all dic-itatow dic-itatow do when their power is on the (p wane. Hitler's answer to revolt came on Saturday, June 30, and Sunday, July 1. The answer ;can be expressed ormg in one ominous word: Terrorism. Kurt Von Schleicher, once Chancellor of Germany, the position Hitler now holds, and his wife, were shot. The charge was resisting arrest -but few will believe that. Other famous Germans Ger-mans were slaughtered or imprison-es imprison-es ed. Innumerable ordinary German citizens, who were on the anti-Hitler Daily se' were killed. High officers in Hitler's own storm troops met a like fate, because they were not zealous enough in supporting him.

And what happens may have much to do with deciding the future of the world, and determine whether or not there is to be another great war.

Among them were growth of lawlessness, lawless-ness, an increase in drinking among many classes of society. Repeal of prohibition was, according to the hopeful, expected to do away with the bootlegger, lessen drinking of hard liquor. It hasn't done that. According to observers, the bootlegger continues to supply close to half of the nation's na-tion's drinkers. And, as reports from police departments show, drunkenness drunken-ness and allied misdemeanors are on the increase. The result is that conscientious con-scientious "wets" are worried, are seeking to find a solution to the new problems that have come with repeal. They know that if present affairs continue, con-tinue, it is almost certain that the country will once more vote for national na-tional prohibition. There is every reason rea-son to believe that many persons who voted to repeal the 18th amendment, in the hope that it would end once and for all a grave national issue, would vote "dry" now. Afew weeks ago North Dakota voted on the liquor question and two voters out of three were against legalizing the sale of liquor. Consequently, the liquor problem prob-lem is up in the air, and both sides are getting ready to do battle. One great trouble is the lack of uniformity uniform-ity in state laws in one state there are commonwealth - owned liquor stores, while across the border bars run wide open. The federal government govern-ment has no jurisdiction over liquor, save in the matters of tax evasion and protecting dry states. Still another an-other problem is presented by the quality of "repeal liquor." Bonded whiskey is exceedingly expensive |
