But we |haven’t lived anyplace else either. So we still call Washington home when pinned down to an answer. In the early . days of our {| |wanderings, I wrote a column about our emotions on our first return to Washington. . Somehow we| had got it into our heads’ that our old friends Rd all hate us.

Most of the talk revolves In political circles, the con-overnor-elect Henry F, Schricker and Republican leaglers have struck off a deal, in which the Governor gets a portion of the patronage, the G. O. P. the remainder. State Senator William Jenner and Secretary of State James | Tucker are generally regarded as | the two strong men of the Repub- | lican organization with Jenner, for the moment at least, in the driv- | er’s seat. A lot of politicians at- | tribute Gubernatorial ambitions to | both Jenner and Tucker and say that the next two years may see “some skillful power maneuvering : by both of them. : Whatever the patronage deal supposed to have been. made, it 1s being taken for granted that most of the McNutt {Boy Scouts” are on the outside looking in and that whatever jobs the Governor doles out, they won’t go to the McNutt boys. There seems/ to be a good deal of confusion in Marion County about who the rival parties are grooming for the Mayoralty race two years hence. The Democrats keep talking about Judge Henry Goett and Sheriff Al Feeney. Republicans, on their part, discuss Herman Wolff and Henry Ostrom. . From the excitment you'd think the election was

only a week off instead of two years.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 19.—One curse of the Roosevelt Administration has been its frequent appointment of misfits to administrative office. I will not single out any of the misfits by name, * pecause they are not vicious persons but on the. : contrary they usually have been persons of exceptionally | high ideals and flatly incorruptible either through money or social flattery. They have been misfits mainly because of defects of personality, or lack of practical experience, or because of abnormal preoccupation with , long-range ideals rather than with competent workmanship in the offices; to which they have been appointed. They have been inclined to funce tion as crusaders rather than as i craftsmen in public administration. Their zeal has often backfired to damage the very cause to which they were so devoted. Often the Administration has seemed so absorbed in policy that it has neglected the laborious details of competent government, || But two recent major appointments set a new standard, % if followed hereafter, will go far toward infusing competent administraiton into the New Deal. | The two Dykstra, as A. Millis as ¢

pointments are those of Clarence A. rector of Selective Service, and Harry irman of the National Labor Relations are two college professors who have |-by practical experience. Their performance has been such as to promise that they will acquit themselves with credit to the Administration in their gonspicuous and difficult national posts.

JOHNSTOWN, Pa, Monday.—Yesterday I spent the day in Canton, O. We visited President McKinley's tomb, which js very imposing and must be very beautiful in summer with the water in the pools below it. A great deal [of WPA work has been done to improve the park system and Canton seems a pleasant place in which to live. I had the privilege of visiting there a very beautiful old lady, who - has evidently won a great place for herself in the hearts of her fellow citizens, Mrs. Goodman may be bed-ridden today, and she-has certainly had her share of personal sorrows, but if achievement is measured in terms of the influence which people have over their. neighbors, I should say that her life has been eminently successful.

Or does it come down to this: It’s all hit or miss In Pottsville and Pottstown And Plattsburg and Johnstown And all the other towns and villes Where bad hotels charge heavy bills?

We have studied it over, and we think the only sound answer to Mr. Hollander’s inquiry is, “Yes, thank you, and many of them.”

City Changes, Friends Don’t Now we have had time to look around, and see our old friends. And we are struck by two things—

the vast change in the physical city of Washington; the almost complete lack of change in our friends. People seem just as we left them. Nobody seems to have gone high-hat; nobody is down at the heel: nobody’s integests have changed completely away from the old interests that were ours in common five years ago. We have not felt ill at ease with a single one of our old friends. : And oddest of all, nobody seems to have changed in looks. We are seeing people this trip we hadn't seen for five years—and nobody looks any older, Do you suppose they have all found. some way to stop time? Or do you suppose the electric and vital atmosphere of Washington these crucial days is a sort of Fountain of Youth? I don’t know—but I'll bet to them I look 20 years older,

This Halloween the State Police caught the ringleader two weeks before the big day. Caught him redhanded, too. So with the consent of the parents, the State troopers just took off their belts and whopped sonny-boy healthy-like. And, believe it or not, when Halloween night came Sonny-Boy went to the movies just to make sure he kept out of trouble. Nothing like a good strapping policeman, is there?

Juke-Box De Luxe

THE TOWN IS BEING flooded with the jukeboxes to end all juke-boxes. These new ones are called “automatic hostesses” and when you drop in a nickel, a personable young woman appears on the

screen and converses with you about the record you want and asks for an extra dime if you want to dedicate it to the girl friend. The thing is all done by telephone contact with a switchboard operator somewhere in town. . . . Some cab drivers are sort of irritated with those automatic horns we told you about. The ones that start blowing when you touch 40 miles an hour. Some of the cabbies complain that the darned horn starts blowing at 30 miles an hour and won’t shut off. . . . E. B.

many years with young people. He understands them, knows what makes them tick, what stimulates and inspires them and what bores and disgusts them. He ought to know some of the things that will build morale in the draft forces. He ought to know some of the things that will send these young men back into civilian life as good soldiers and better men, with a feeling that they not only have given something to the nation but that they have received somehing in return. The draft can be made both a means of creating enormous military strength and of creating a stronger kind of democratic citizen. If anyone has the ability to turn this conception into practical reality, it is Dykstra. For his. life has not been confined to classroom theorizing. He has handled some of the toughest practical jobs—the most notable one being that of City Manager for Cincinnati. One must be a very practical theorist indeed to get away with that kind of job.

No Classroom Hermit

Similarly Millis is no hermit of the classroom. He served here on the old National Labor Relations

Board and has handled countless labor cases, at present being umpire of disputes between General Motors and the United Automobile Workers. He was teaching economic theories before most of the New Dealers were born and he can take economic theories in his stride. They don’t get in his way when he has a practical job of reconciling differences between

that has inspired confidence all around for fairness, judicial impartiality and a talent for conciliation. The National Labor Relations Board is sadly in need of the Millis temperament and experience. He goes on the board at a critical time. Already there is on the board a colleague, Dr. William S. Leiserson, who has the same hard-headed practical experience and outlook. Together they have an opportunity to take this much manhandled agency and make it fulfill the very great and needed mission for which it was created. .

work which the Federal Government is helping to put through,

Two terrible floods have visited Johnstown, the one in 1889 cost the city a great many lives. The recent flood cost the city some $40,000,000, but fortunately only a few lives were lost. The work of dredging the two rivers, which will in the future safeguard the population from the ravages of the past, is in full swing and I was much interested to see it. It is easy to see that a city, which has suffered as this one has, must take advantage of whatever help the state and Federal Government can give. For the future, these expenditures to prevent recurring disasters, will be a saving not only to the community, but to the state and the nation. The NYA director took us over to his office after lunch and we saw the woodworking shop where much good work is being turned out by the boys. They are about to build a resident project here with a shop which will give valuable training in skills to many of the boys of the state. The plans were shown me and the work is already beginning. The boys were digging today to find out what the conditions would be for foundation work. At 5 o'clock, a few of the Democratic women leaders are coming to call and, after my lecture this eve-

HE timbre of his harsh, uncommon voice is repellant to the North German. The tone is full, but forced, as though his nose were blocked. There is something peculiar about the magic of a personality. I have found in myself and others that one succumbs to such magic only if one wishes to succumb to it. I have noticed that Hitler made the strongest impression on such people as were either highly suggestible or somewhat effeminate or accustomed by their education and social background to formalism and hero-worship.

Hitler's physical appearance certainly does not heighten the impression made by his personality. A receding forehead, with the lank hair falling over it; a short, unimposing stature, with limbs somehow ill-fitting and awkward; an expressionless mouth beneath the little brush -of a mustache—such are the traits of the outer man. His only charm lies perhaps in his hands, which are strikingly well-shaped and expressive. What a differenc: to the strikingly youthful, intelligent countenance shown in Napoleon’s death-mask. Hitler greeted us cheerfully. It was shortly after the perpetration of a certain bestial murder in Upper Silesia. The National Socialists had dragged a political opponent out of his bed in the

middle of the night and trampled"

him to death. Von Papen, then the Reich Chancellor, the man who was later to implement Hitler’s summoning to power, had is=sued sharp decrees against these political criminals. The murderers of Potempa were condemned to death. Hitler, in a sensational telegram, had publicly announced his solidarity with the murderers. He justified their deed and called them his comrades. This cost him many sympathizers at that time, and his star began to fade. Our conversation dealt with the latest evemts. Hitler was indignant at the opposition shown him by the Nationalist middle class. “I shall have the Stahlhelm dissolved,” he declared with the firmness of a man who is sure of (The Stahlhelm was a union of national soldiers of the front, the real defense corps of the German Nationalists.) Then he castigated what he considered the dishonest and criminal policy of Papen. He attacked the death sentence of the court, calling it a mockery of justice. ” ” ”

“QUCH savage judgments,” he said, “are never forgotten by a people. In such critical times as these, a nation will suffer and forget anything done openly in the political struggle. If I were to allow the S. A. a free hand, or

if 20 or 30 thousand Germa were to lose their lives in how.

fighting, the nation would be able to forget it. The nation would console itself. Such things are like the incidents of the open battlefield.

“But a miscarriage of justice, a cold and considered judgment, a death sentence that outrages the

“We must be ruthless,” said Hitler. “We must regain our clear conscience as to ruthlessness. Only thus shall we purge our people of their softness and sentimental philistinism, and their degenerate delight in beer-swilling. We have no more time for fine sentiments. We must compel our people to greatness if they are to fulfill their historic mission.” ” ” »

“Y KNOW,” he resumed after a pause, “that I must be a harsh master. I must demand harshness from myself. My task is more difficult than Bismarck’s or any

other German’s. I must first cre-

ate the nation before even beginning to tackle the national tasks before us.” Everyone who knew Hitler during the early years of struggle knows that he has by nature an easily moved and unmistakably sentimental temperament, with a tendency toward emotionalism and romanticism. His convulsions of weeping in all emotional crises are by no means merely a master of nerves. For this very reason, there lies behind Hitler's emphasis on brutality and ruthlessness the desolation of a forced and artificial inhumanity, not the amorality of the genuine , brute, which has after all something of the power of a natural force. Forster began to wax enthusiastic over the plans for employment that had been collected by a so-called “technical engineering division” in his district against ‘the time when they should seize power. I observed Hitler's impatience and suggested that this was merely a rough draft; elaboration was still lacking. Hitler did not appear to attach

much importance to the employ--

ment plans. Evidently they were to him more a mental distraction in this period of complete inactivity, a means of occupying his mind with town planning, colonization, agricultural improvement and technical progress. I pointed out that Lawaczek (a Nazi civil engineer) believed that the day of the great, revolutionizing inventions was past. This was the very reason why he had his unconvincing

men who have acted from purely patriotic motives—that is something that the nation will not forget or forgive.” How many brutal murders and tortures have been done since then by S. A. and S. S. alike, not in the heat of national passion, but in the lust of cruelty or with sober calculation! I do not know whether Hitler ever recalled, in all his many death sentences on alleged traitors to their country, his own comment on Papen’s judgment in the open court. Probably not. Hess indicated that we were to retire, consoling us with the pros= pect of the following morning. He would indicate to us when we

‘might bring up our own problems.

He accompanied us to the door. I slept badly, partly owing to the unaccustomed air of the mountains, which affects us plain-dwellers, but also because I couldn’t get'out of my mind what I had heard. I shared a room with Linsmayer. This young S. A. leader was one of the many charming, honest and genuinely patriotic young men who joined the movement from the purest and noblest motives. It is particularly necessary to recall this today for the benefit of those who paint everything in black and white, and do not un-

allowed themselves to be carried away on a strident current, firmly believing in the necessity of their sacrifice. It was already late when we received a message that Hitler was up and wished to speak to us. Our conversation opened on tige theme of the previous evening.

“J; NGINEERS are fools,” Hitler cut in rudely. “They have an occasional idea that might be useful, but it becomes madness if it is generalized. Let Lawaczek build his turbines, and not try to invent industrial booms. “This is all nonsense, gentlemen. History does not repeat itself. What was valid in the nineteenth century is no longer so in, the twentieth. Inventions no longer appear of their own accord as a piece of unprecedented good fortune. Today we. control them. One can no longer allow things to work themselves out. The wealthy countries that have everything no longer need inventions. What should they do with them? They are merely an embarrassment. They want to get rich in the old way. They want to sleep, these rich countries — Britain, France, America.” He paused; and then went on excitedly, gesticulating with his hands and pounding the table, his voice rising in crescendo: “In one respect Lawaczek {is right; what was once accident must become planned. We must do away with accident. We can! This is the meaning of the ‘great works’ that states undertake today—not the speculators and the bank Jews, in whose interests it is that nothing should go forward. For this reason we must liberate Germany from all such connecHoma. We must stand on our own

* Hitler bade us farewell.

“PUT Germany, as it is today, is not a biological unit. It will be Germany only when it is Europe as well. Without power over Europe we must perish. .Germany is Europe. I give you my guarantee that there will be no more unemployment in Europe. An unequaled renaissance: will come. We shall awaken the world from its sleep. We shall undertake tasks of which the world does not dream today. “And we shall perform them successfully. But we must have Europe and its colonies. Germany is only a beginning. No European country today is a complete whole. But Europe is for us® Whoever conquers, it will press his seal on the coming age. We are the chosen. If we fail, we shall die out, as all Europe’s nations will degenerate. The stake is life, or death.”

Hitler broke off. It was the first

time I had heard anything of his real aims. We then began to discuss the coming war, and the secret arma= ment and defense measures of the Reich. Even at that time, Hitler thought the chances of an isolated war against Poland very favor= able. He had a very poor opinion of the Polish soldier, whom he classed with the Rumanian and Italian, as the worst, in Europe. But he denied that he would initiate his coming to power with a war, even against the Poles. On the contrary, he would avoid anything that might increase tension. For his part, he was even prepared to make a treaty with the Poles. “We must be strong first. Everything else will follow in due course. I shall advance step by step. Never two steps at once. Remember that, Forster,” he added to his acolyte. We

took our leave of Hess. A car was waiting for us which drove us down to Munich. As we left the Obersalzberg, Goebbels was just getting out of his car. He jumped heavily on his club-foot up the narrow path from the road leading to Hitler's mountain abode. He was spinning the web in which one day the fly, Germany, would be caught. 8 » ”

HE first brown house in Munich was a characteristic blend of unadorned modern office building and garish extravagance. Steel furniture, archives, complicated card-index ~systems: That was one side of it. The hall of senators, flags, color symbolism and other kinds of symbolism, had paintings: That was the other. I had occasion to sit here once for a few hours while listening to a confidential discussion between Hitler and some of his advisers. Only a very small circle had been invited here at Darre’s instance in the summer of 1932 to discuss the main lines of an “Eastern policy.” Darre, the youngest pa member among the later “Reich leaders,” Hitler's immediate entourage, was specially eager to clarify the future Eastern policy of Germany. Darre, as a trained agriculturist, had accepted responsibility for the practical and scientific accomplishment of the National Socialist principle of race and racial hygiene. He was engaged in the elaboration of a huge and detailed

‘register of the biological heritage

of the National Socialist elite. He was working the of the new aristocracy—a pedigree for

. misunderstand it.

the planned breeding of a race on the tested principles employed by all cattle-breeders’ associations. Darre showed me his filing-cab-inets and register. At that time Himmler had just decreed that members of the S. S. might only marry by special permission, which was not granted until the couple had undergone searching biological tests. 2.8 8 o HE new aristocracy will arise in this way. We shall gather in the best blood only,” said Darre, pointing to his iron filing cabinets. “Just as we have again produced the old Hanover type of horse from sires and dams who had little of the old purity left, so we shall again, in the course of generations, breed the pure type of the Nordic German by means of recessive crossing. Perhaps we shall not be able

‘to purify the whole of the Ger-

man nation again. But the new German aristocracy will be a pure breed in the literal sense of the term.” I looked at the great quarto sheets of the register. “I want all my peasant leaders to enter the S. 8.” Darre said, “We shall breed the new aristocracy from the human reserves of the S. S. We shall do systematically and on the basis of scientific, biological knowledge what the old blood aristocracy of former days did by instinct.” All this, however, the lecturer continued, would remain aniidle dream, unless a planned policy of colonization and depopulation were carried out. Yes, a depopulation policy. The great danger for the great white Nordic race was the tremendous biological fer= tility of the East Baltic races, which, like everything inferior, made up- for poor quality by greater quantity, that is to say, by the fecundity of their women. It was. necessary to detach the small Slav peasant from the land, and transform him into landless laborer in order to reduce his fruitfulness. It was necessary to bring agricultural lands predominantly into the hands of the German Herren (squire) class. The

alien peasant must again become:

a laborer, even an agricultural casual laborer for the Reich itself, or an unskilled industrial worker.

" Y party comrades,” Hitler said at this point, “what we have discussed here must remain confidential. I think some of our party comrades might grievously But Darre is right. We must strike off the eggshell of liberalism, which unconsciously we still carry on our backs. This is difficult for many of us. We have gathered our ideas from every branch and twig by the wayside of life, and no longer know their origin. “In the main I approve what

"has been said about our eastern,

or ‘Eastern space’ policy. Only one thing, my party comrades, you must always remember, We shall never be great statesmen unless we have a nucleus of might at the center as hard and firm as steel. A nucleus of eighty to one hundred million colonizing Germans! My first task will therefore be to create this nucleus which will not only make us invincible, but will assure to us once and for all time the decisive ascendancy over all the European nations. Once we have succeeded in this, we shall find everything else comparatively simple. “Part of this nucleus is Austria. That goes without saying. But Bohemia and Moravia also belong to it, as well as the western regions of Poland as far as certain natural strategical frontiers. Moreover—and this you must not overlook—the Baltic states, too, are part of it—those states which for centuries have had a thin upper crust of Germanhood. Today in all these regions, alien races predominate. It will be our duty, if we wish to found our gre Reich for all time, to remove these

races. There is no excuse for neglecting this. Our age provides us with the technical possibilities for carrying through such transfers of population comparatively easily. : Hitler continued: “Thus far there are no doubts. When Germany has rearmed, all these small states will offer us their alliance of their own accord. But we have no intention of manufacturing a peaceful PanEurope in _ miniature, with the good Uncle Germany in the center, pleasantly shortening the time of his nephew’s studies. We shall not breed our own usurpers.

We must once and for all time

create the politically and biologically eternally valid foundations of a German Europe.” ” ” » HE classless society of Marxists, he contended, was madness. Order always meant class order. But the democratic notion of a class order based on the moneybag was equally .mad. A genujne aristocracy was not. born out of the accidentally successful speculations of bright business men. The secret of our success lay in the fact that we had once more

placed the vital law of genuine aristocracy at the heart of the political struggle. True aristocracy existed only where there was also true subjection. We did not intend to abolish the inequality of man; on the contrary, we would

* deepen it and, as in ancient great

civilizations, create insurmountable barriers which would turn it into law. There was no equal right for all. We would have the courage to make this denial the basis of all our actions, and to acknowledge it openly. Never would he concede to other nations equal right with the German. It was our task to place other nations in subjection. The German people was called to give the world the new arise tocracy. Hitler then went on to show how this new aristocracy was to be created. “There will be a great hierarchy of party members,” Hitler said. “They will be the new middle class. And there will’ be the great mass of the anonymous, the serving cole lective, the eternally disfranchised, no matter whether they were once members of the old bouregosie, the big land-owning class, the working class or the artisans. Nor will their financial or previous social position be of the slightest importance. These preposterous differences will have been liquidat= ed in a single revolutionary process. But beneath them there will still be the class of subject alien races; we need not hesitate to call them the modern slave class. And over all of these will stand the new high aristocracy, the most deserving and the most, responsible Fuehrer-personalities.”

4 ND this brings me,” Hitler said in conclusion, “to the point we call education or upbringing. As surely as everything we have discussed here today must be kept from burdening the mind of the ordinary party member, equally surely must we put an end to what is known as universal education, Universal education is the most corroding and disinte=grating poison that liberalism has ever invented for its own destruetion.” Here Hitler paused deliberately as if to give us a chance of digesting his astonishing definition of universal education. He then brought his remarks to a close as follows:

-

“There must be only one pose sible education for each class, for each subdivision of a class. Complete freedom of choice in educa= tion is the privilege of the elite and to those whom they have specially admitted. The whole of ‘science must be subject to continual control and selection.

Knowledge is an aid to life, not **

its central aim. We must therefore be consistent, and allow the great mass of the lowest order the blessings of illiteracy.”
