City Pastor Finds German People Want Old ‘Kultur’

Hitler Leads Way Rack to Lost Ideals, Opinion Gamed on Visit. BV HELEN LINDSAY Time* Staff Writer Adolf Hitl®r will be chancellor of Germany for years—and years—and years. That's the opinion of the Rev. E. G. Homrighausen. pastor of the CarrolJ'on Avenue Reformed church, who has returned to Indianapolis from a two months' visit to Germany. Hitler is in power more firmly than any other public official in the world, says Mr. Homrighausen. even though the pastor believes that the German ruler has taken a backward s*ep in taking the churches out of the hands of ministers and placing them in the grip of his Nazi henchmen. •Hitler is carrying out the platform to which he pledged himself before election, and which the people of Germany accepted at that time.'' he says. "He has promised the German people to bring them back the old German ideals, with kultur' and all its attendants. - ' Value U. S. Opinion The most earnest question asked by Germans, Mr. Homrighausen says: ' What does America, think of us?” "They are anxious that the United States see the new Germany in a favorable light,” he says. "They plead that America must not judge Germany by actions which have taken place in recent years: they compare it to the United States in its ow-n Civil war. 'We are a people in revolution.’ the Nazis say, As such we car. not be judged by ordinary standards, anymore than can any country in time of war or revolution.” During their stay in Germany. Mr. and Mrs. Homrighausen lived in the home of a Nazi precinct leader He was anxious to discuss Hitler and Hitlerism with them, and eager to defend the action of the Nazis against the churches and the Jews. Persecution Is Defended ‘"German students and business men feel that Hitler went too fast in his persecution of the Jews,” Mr. Homrighausen says. "Yes. they even defend this by declaring that the Jews, who constituted only 1 per cent of the German population, had monopolized more than 50 per cent of the professions in Germany. "Germany will not accept any blending of cultures. They believe that each is an entity, and. while it can borrow from the other, the two can merge. They say that the German race must be kept purely Teutonic. and that their ideals must not be contaminated by what they call alien or Jewish influence.” In spite of his own personal belief that there has been official brutality practiced on the German Jews. Mr. Homrighausen points out that it was impossible for him to obtain any actual proof of it. Espionage Is Rampant ‘‘On our way home, a number of German Jewish students were on the boat. Among them was an aged Jewish rabbi, with whom I talked. "I asked him about physical brutality to the Jews by the Nazis. The old rabbi smiled and said There is a time to talk, and a time to keep still. This is the time to keep still.” Epionage and propaganda are rampant in Germany, Mr. Homrighausen says. Every one glances over his shoulder before making any comment on Nazi actions. "Students gather in groups and argue the situation.” he says. "If a Nazi comes near, the conversation is ended. They do not dare express themselves openly. "The slightest derogatory commant brings trouble: university professors are given 'leaves of absence.’ which really means that they permanently are out of work, if they criticise the government in the slightest way. "One no longer can preach 'brotherly love’: the Hitler governmen' never would sanction a reiigion w hich advocated loving one's neighbor as ones self.' when it applied to Communists. Jews or persons opposed to the Nazi influence."
