Show BRISBANE THIS WEEK First Break in Germany The Kaiser's Praise What Next in Germany? Vatican Resentment The dictatorial path of Chancel-r Chancel-r Hitler is not as smooth as with his colleagues, Mussolini, Kernel I'asha and Stalin. A few killings, suicides ind arrests ar-rests will not put an end 'to such violent dissatisfaction, and the world wonders what will happen next. Old President nindenburg congratulates con-gratulates all the survivors. Some of the dead may be better off 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 his prison cell, he refused to kill himself and, after being given "ten minutes more," was shot down by a firing squad. The former kaiser expresses amazement at Ilitler's energy and strength. He says Hitler is "stronger "strong-er than ever." It Is clear the chancellor does not lack strength of will or swiftness of execution. Before he had. seized complete power he predicted "heads will roll." They are rolling, and Ilitler's head man, Goebbels, predicts pre-dicts that "more heads will roll." That the Hitler collapse is to be followed by horrible violence is only too probable. What would come afterward? Would extreme "red radicalism" come to the front to take control? Would there be that union of Russia Rus-sia and Germany that many Germans Ger-mans advocated immediately after the signing of the Versailles treaty? The pope's government In the Vatican resents, bitterly, and naturally, nat-urally, the statement that Ileinrich Klausener, head of the Catholic Action Ac-tion party In Berlin, has committed suicide. An official of the Vatican recalls that "only recently Klausener Klaus-ener made a noble speech to Berlin Catholics, which was read with deepest satisfaction by the Vatican." Vati-can." 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 re-ligion forbids 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 as he was, but persistently British and patriotic, writes a new poem which says Non Nobis Domine, meaning "Not Unto Us, O Lord," should the praise be given. This new "Recessional" "Reces-sional" poem was written for a magnificent mag-nificent pageant celebrating England's Eng-land's marvelous recovery from the big war and depression and dragging drag-ging In the defeat of the armada. Kipling might have written, but did not write: "Non Nobis Domine Give the praise to our gooselike friend Uncle Sam, for without him sending us billions of dollars, and quietly accepting our default, we should not be so well off." This great nation, as mild ns a sick white mouse concerning the gigantic gi-gantic defaulted debts of France nnd England, Is roaring like a first-class lion at Germany's default. de-fault. It must be a great comfort to find some one to whom you dare speak plainly. Senator MeAdoo, praising President Pres-ident Roosevelt, says, "Rugged Individualism In-dividualism is dying." If that were true, It would be a sad tiling for the country, because some necessary neces-sary things white rabbits cannot do. If rugged Individualists had died earlier, there would be no tunnels from New York to New Jersey, under un-der the North river. MeAdoo cut them there, and It was a rugged job. And if there wore no rugged Individualism In-dividualism left, there would be no President Roosevelt. Any man able to make congress eat out of bis hand, and jump through new era hoops, is rugged.
