Men and women sat with chins cupped m hands or braced themselves patiently against the walls until the last word was uttered A heckler who cried How about the poor baskets?' was silenced. And the speakers, perspiring under the glow of the big incandescents over the platform, interpreted the new deal in a way that recalled the gaunt figure ot Norman Thomas shaking his fist down the canyon of Wall Street m his last race for the presidency. Keynotes of the speeches were: “The capitalist class has failed to supply bread and meat for the masses." "In 1929. nine billion dollars represented the increased productivity of indusetry in the country -onlv a hall a billion went into the pockets of the workers." Crowds Stamp Approval “There are few cities where more has ben done to prevent the formation of labor unions than Indianapolis.’ "The employers of this country are experiencing their last opportunity to clean up the mess for which they are responsible." Thed rowd shouted and stamped approval and applauded thunderously whenever President Roosevelt's name was mentioned When W C Hushing Washington representative of the American Federation of Laobr. said he was convinced that the great majority of employers were high-minded men willing to do their best for their employes, but that they had been forced to their "present methods" by unfair competition of a minority. his statement was greeted wtih a chorus of catcalls Movement Sweeps Country "Organized labor is sweeping through the country like fire through dn prairie grass," Hushing declared.

Just as other men have families and radios and watchchains. the little rx-artisan from Austria has a country. Sixtv-seven million people Hitlers Government, communications press, courts, business, churches Hiller s Ambitions—Hitler’s. Ideas—Hitler s. He owns Germany because several millions of people living here seem to want him to; and because the rest are afraid to say they don't He has pronounced a revolution unique in history, because it places supreme power in the hands of a group that never held power in Germany eir anywhere el.se before- -the lower middle class. The aristocrats, the former ruling classes, the "intellectuals.” and the financiers are out. So are the workers, the ‘proletarians. That leaves clerks and "white collar workers.’’ small shopkeepers, artisans, petty farmers. Hitler has raised his hooked-cross crusading standard for them They have surrendered to him the power to control w their lives, theta* actions, their thoughts-and the lives, ac- * . tions and thoughts of everybody else in Germany. mV* Th*v are the majority of Germans Since the rest, who 9 V might form an opposition to Hitler either are in Jail, or in \ fear of jail, without arms, organization, or political repre- Hp*J sentation and rights; It is hard to see how Hitler, Just now. , can fail to hold power. * * * //qJI HITLERS resolution is looked upon by his followers & *'mSBQ& as a bright beacon In Germany's record of shuf- rjfif fW.tW fling politics and indecision since the war.

The monarchists fumbled and couldn't bring themselves to take the plunge. Not so Hitler The little warcorporal. bitten with ambition, was afraid of nothing When the time camp for grasping, he grasped. He hit upon the fundamental grievance of the German race: The war grievance. Germany's dominant emotion. It was and is Hitler's own dominant emotion. To Hitler's mind hence, today the mind of Germany the German army still is undefeated. The in-

dividual soldier, brigade, division, army, was better titan the individual enemy. Fate defeated the German soldier. It was some trick of the politicians on the home front. Germany could beat the world -and almost proved it. Germany would have done so. save for the stupid, the criminal, diplomats and politicians. Such is the Hitler doctrine As

it happens, it is the doctiine which appeals to the mass of Germany. n a b COUPLED with this brooding, bitter sense of injustice which so many here feel about the World war and the treaty of Versailles is a second circumstance, which turned the great German lower middle class usually so respectable, so stolid a group—into revolutionists. This was the inflation of ten years ago. At that time, Germans in the mass were mishandled brutally by foreps which they could not control. the political and financial forces which pushed the nation into vicious, headlong inflation. The lower middle class came out of it penniless. Their savings were gone, their work of a lifetime had been cancelled. Worse still, their opportunities for more work—thanks to their own politicians, the politicians of the enemy countries and the world-wide depression—were either diminished or ended. The whole class, the backbone of Germany, was "expropriated.'’ That is. it was rendered propertyless. literally chucked out of its place in society. It is this landless and impoverished class which now backs the Hitler revolution. Rendered desperate, it is willing and eager to

, believe Hitler’s roseate promises | of anew Germany, a better day. 0 0 0 HITLER'S plans for his adopted land go deeper than mere opportunistic exploitation of discontent. There is a philosophic ! basis for it, nothing less than the blunt and complete denial of the j 1 principles of democracy and of j human freedom. Magna Chart a? So much boloney! Declaration of Independence? Insufferable eveJ w ash! The whole thing traces back to a grim, pontifical German philosopher of the last century, called Hegel. Hegel's great contribution i to the world's notions of government was the invention of the term. "The Organic State.” i According to Hegel, God set up an Order of Things on earth—and I the Order was nationalistic. The | nations of the world were divinely j ordained Institutions, not to be j set aside by man. Nations are born as nations. | Germans as Germans. French as I French. If this is so. it Is easy to see that the individual doesn't count for much. He exists to do his duty by his state. And the duty j ol states is. said Hegel, to fit into God's plan. Individual freedom I has nothing to do with it—doesn't j 1 exist. Individual happiness has | 1 nothing to do with it—is merely

a by-product. The state—the Organtic State—is what counts. Hence, for Germany, the Organic State of Germany is the most Roly thing in the world. n a 0 IT is this idea which Hitler has been able to implant into his war-tired and depression-disheart-ened followers. They have given up, under his exhortation, oldfashioned notions of democracy anci freedom. They have decided, instead to take what Hitler gives them—an to like it. There are two words which symbolize Germany's ideal under Hitler today. The words are "Gleichschaltung." Hitler's lieutenant. Dr. Joseph Goe’obels, Minister of Propaganda and Enlightenment, has defined "Totalitat" as the "national condition in which every human being thinks and acts in a way coordinated with the thoughts and acts of every other human being." Upon these two symbolic words Adolph Hitler, with the persuasive help of bands, banners, and beanfeasts 'not to mention terrorism' is bringing the new state of Germany into being. Next—Tracing the two phases of the Hitler revolution In which all rights of democracy were scrapped.
