Show BRISBANE THIS WEEK. First Break in Germany The Kaiser' Praise What Next in Germany? Vatican Resentment The dictatorial path of Chancellor Hitler Is not us smooth as with Ills colleagues. Mussolini, Kemal Pmtb and Stalin. A few killings, suicides and arrests will not put an end to such violent dissatisfaction, dis-satisfaction, and the world wonders what will happen next. Old President Hlndenburg congratulates congratu-lates all the survivors. Some of the dead may he better oft than the living. According to Universal Service, Roehm, who had fought at the side of Hitler since the beginning, did not commit suicide. Left with a loaded revolver In hl prison cell, he refused to kill himself and, after being given 'ten minutes more," was shot down by a tiring sguad. The former kaiser expresses amaze-on amaze-on m at Hitler's energy and strength. Hi- say Hitler Is -'stronger than ever." It Is clear the chancellor does not lack strength of will or swiftness of execution. Before he had seized complete com-plete power he predicted "heads will roll." They are rolling, and Hitler's head man. (ioebhels, predicts that "more heads will roll." That the Hitler collapse is to he followed by horrible violence is only too probable. What would come afterward? after-ward? Would extreme "red radicalism" come to the front to take control? Would there be that union of Russia I and Germany that many Germans advocated ad-vocated Immediately after the sign lug of the Versailles treaty? The pope's government in the Vatican Vati-can resents, bitterly, and naturally, the statement that Helnrlch Klausener, head of the Catholic Action party In Berlin, has committed suicide. An official of the Vatican recalls that "only recently Klausener made a noble speech to Berlin Catholics, which was read with deepest satisfaction by the Vatican." The Vatican official, quoted by International News Service, adds: "We must strongly protest against the attempt to camouflage murder as suicide, since the Catholic religion for bids suicide. Militants, like Klausener. would not dream of taking their own lives." The same official said further: "It is deplorable that, not content with killing their adversary, the brown shirts threw mud at his noble figure." Rudyard Kipling, not as young a he was, but persistently British and patriotic, writes a new poem which says Non Nobis Domine, meaning "Not Unto Us, O Iord," should the praise be given. This new "Recessional'' poem was written for a magnificent pageant celebrating England's marvelous mar-velous recovery from the big war and depression and dragging in the defeat of the armada. Kipling might have written, but did not write : "Non Nobis Domiue Give the praise to our gooselike friend Uncle Sam, for without with-out him sending us billions of dollars, and quietly accepting our default, we should not be so well off." This great nation, as mild as a sick white mouse concerning the gigantic defaulted debts of France and Eng laud, Is roaring like a first-class Hon at Germany's default. It must be a great comfort to find some one to whom you dare speak plainly. Senator McAdoo, praising President Roosevelt, says, "Rugged Individual Ism is dying." If that were true, 11 would be a sad thing for the country because some necessary things whTFe rabbits, cannot do. If rugged individualists had died earlier, there would be no tunnels from New York to New Jersey, under the North river. McAdoo cut them there, and it was a rugged job. And if there were no rugged individualism indi-vidualism left, there would be no President Roosevelt. Any man able to make congress eat out of his hand, and jump through new era hoops, is rugged. Many old men will read this with sympathy : Fred Schlundt inhaled gas and killed himself in a little furnished room. In his pocket were 6 cents and this note: "Don't try to revive me. I want to be dead. I am over seventy-four." President Roosevelt Is said to have told his subordinates, high and low, old style and new "brain trust" style, not to talk politics while he is away on his trip to the Virgin Islands and Hawaii. The President's order is wise. If all the different brains recently and suddenly sud-denly Injected Into politics began arguing ar-guing all together some of them might contradict each other. Before leaving, the President establishes estab-lishes a "steel labor board," consisting of three men, well chosen. This board will deal with the steel strike as "the national longshoremen's board" will deal with the strike of dock laborers on the Pacific coast. Employers and employees are said to have requested the accepted arbitration by presiden tlal boards, but Mr. Green, head of the American Federation of Labor, has not spoken enthusiastically or definitely on the subject.
