DICTATORSHIP FIRST GOAL OF GERMIM NAZIS Hitlerites Plot Death for Democracy as Europe’s Fears Increase. Webb Miller, European genera! news manager n( the United Press, who Is touring Germany studying political and economic conditions in the light of the world crisis, presents In the following article the aims of the Fascist party, which threatens a complete revision of Germany's political system and her relations with the rest of the world. BY WEBB MILLER United Press Staff Correspondent iConvrizht. 1931. bv United Press) MUNICH, Germany, Dec. 23. The end of democracy in Germany and the establishment of a Fascistlike dictatorship under Adolph Hitler Is one of the alms of Hitler’s Fascist, or Nazi, party. Among the schemes figuring large in the program of the Nazis, which many millions of Germans are convinced will be the next party to rule the country, are the following: Abolition of parliamentary democracy, or what the Hitlerites call “mobocracy,” in favor of a Hitler dictatorship. Revision of the treaty of Versailles and the reparations agreements, on which the entire postwar European political and financial settlement is based. Reformation of Germany’s constitution. Erection of an organic peoples’ state called “the third reich.’’ Rising Power Feared Already European chancelleries have been disturbed by the apparent imminence of Hitler’s rise to power. As Germany is in a sense the political and economic hub of Europe, the advent of a movement with such avowed objectives might determine the course of European politics for decades. The question in the minds of the closest observers of Hitlerism is to what extent the Nazis will attempt to attain their program if they attained power. As the possibility of seizing power and responsibility grows nearcV, Nazi leaders perceptibly have been "hedging” to avoid over-radical declarations of policy. In conversation with Nazi officials in Munich, my pointed questions about many primary points in their platform were met with such remarks as: "Programs mean nothing. What we do will be determined by conditions and requirements when we attain power.” Judging from Hitler’s writings and speeches, the following are among his conceptions of the Nazi form of state: Keen Nationalism Sought Violent racial nationalism; bitter enmity to Marxian socialism because of its internationalism and pacifism; violent hostility to communism; hatred of the Jews, whom he would denationalize; hostility to parliamentarism or rule by majority; hostility to international capitalism and the loan of capital. Hitler’s writings indicate further that he aims at a strong economic nationalism and extension of German influence over all in Europe who are racially German. Reference to the “victorious sword” occur frequently in his writings, and there is also the statement that the lost German territories are not to be restored by hope in the League of Nations, "but only by armed force.” The principle of the Nazi idea of anew constitution has been described as "the authority of every leader over those below and responsibility to those above,” which is essentially a military conception. Italian Facism Copied The Nazi idea of the mechanics of government have been worked out only sketchily but the outline remarkably resembles Mussolini’s Fascism. For instance, parliament would figure only as a council with decisions and responsibilities resting on the party leader. Thus it actually would be a dictatorship. The Nazi state would include occupational and political councils co-ordinated by a form of senate and thus would be similar to the Italian Fascist corporative state. The Nazi idea is that only the leader would be elected. He would appoint those below him. One concept of citizenship outlined in Nazi literature is that men would become citizens upon completion of military training, when they would receive a certificate. German women would become citizens on marriage. Elections Show Gains The party literature invariably depicts France as Germany’s chief enemy and England as her best friend. Strangely enough, the fact that Hitler is not a German citizen sems to figure little with his followers. They emphasize that it is merely a technicality and that anyway, he fought as a corporal in the German army. The latter is the reason why the Austrians denationalized him. He is undisputed leader of the numerically strongest party in Germanq. In the If 30 general elections, the Nazis were second with 6,500,000 votes, compared to 8,500,000 for'the Social Democrats. Meanwhile, however. the Nazis have gained heavily in every municipal and state election. (Thursday some aspects of Germany's trade and economic situation will be discussed.)
