Peace 1 F ‘eelers
( Col of a Series): WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.—Despite fight-to-a-finish d y Hitler and Churchill, diplomats here
say peace feelers are continuing. They come from Berlin, not from London—so far. “Hitler is leading two offensives. One is military, the other diplomatic. The first is to gain ground; the second to consolidate those gains through ‘ “peace” agreements. : 3 The reasons he sought peace after the fall of France, and stiil seeks it, are clear:
1. He has most of Continental
Europe and can dominate the rest. 2. Survival of the British Empire in junior partnership with Germany would be the best pos-
sible guarantee for perpetuation
of that Nazi domination. - . 3. He has always respected and feared Britain as much as he has looked down on Italy and France and despised Russia and Japan. 4. Failure of his blitzkrieg against England creates the only remaining external threat to his continued domination of Europe. ‘Though these basic factors are obvious, it does
not follow that Hitler's situation is desperate or that
he must make a quick peace to survive. On the eontrary, neutral military and diplomatic observers still give him better than a 50-50 chance to best Britain. On the military side he is stronger than ever. Italy’s weaknesses are a handicap in African and Near East conquest, but do not jeopardize German domination of Europe. In fact they tend to eliminate Mussolini as a competitor for. spoils.
Little Chance for Revolts
The best proof that Hitler is still far superior to Britain in supply of planes and mechanized equip-
"a ment is that he is selling large surpluses to other
nations. That he is not yet in sight of an oil shortage ‘is evidenced by the fact that he is sending reserves to Italy. As for the Battle of the Blockade, Nazi destruction of British shipping and supplies is increasingly more effective, while Britain's loose sea ring covers only ene side of Hitler's continent.

Washington
WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.—It comes to light that the central figure in the Dies Committee exposure of Nazi commercial activities in the United States, Dr. Ferdinand A. Kertess, also was a/witness before the TNEC (the “monopoly committe”), where he was questioned to ‘obtain information about German’ activities in re-
straint of trade in the United ‘a
States—in this case supposed efforits to restrict production of beryllium, a most important element useful in defense work. Dr. Kertess appeared before the TNEC on May 8, 1939. Just four days before, according to dates in the report of the Dies «Committee, he had sent a mysy terious cablegram to his émployers in {Germany which read: “Your = number 22.

At the ye Dr. Kertess appeared before the TNEC (which of course knew nothing then of the “war” cablegram), he had taken out first papers. He became a citizen this year. When he arrived in Washington to testify before the TNEC, four days after the “war” cable, Dr. Kertess checked in at the German Embassy, it is| said here authoritatively. Within a few weeks he had joined the American Fellowship Forum, a Nazi propaganda agency. The Dies Com ee says that he has been and is engaged in sci vhicte tend to show that his allegiance to the Nazi'Government is of prime importance to the exclusion of any other country. Not much was known about Dr. Keértess when he appeared before the TNEC except that his name had turned up on correspondence which indicated he was busy about beryllium. Baim is particularly useful in copper alloys.
HYDE PARK, Sunday.—I must tell you of a letter which has come to me. It seems that a committee has been formed in Washington, D. C,, to suggest to people that, instead of giving Christmas presents this year, they should send Christmas cards and give their money to war relief organizations. It a fine idea and I am sure
that many people will join happily in such a movement.

The Kaiser's Germany, lacking most of those advantages, held out four years against blockade, and then succumbed only after America came in. Some Americans infer from the Roosevelt Armis-

Doubtless hunger and cold this winter will drive

No Impetuous. Madman
The easy inference that Hitler's peace feelers are a sign of present weakness is not supported by the known facts; rather, they attest his strength. Be-
cause he is on top, he can afford to negotiate. If he can get as much as he can digest by ma peace, why weaken himself with further war? That, to be sure, is not the way an impetuous madman would figure it—he would gamble for all or nothing. But if Hitler’ is impetuous he has yet to show ‘it. Every move in his rise to power and in his conquest has been carefully planned. and coldly executed. ‘Hitler has displayed the cold wisdom of the serpent. Never yet has he over-reached himself—unless it be

INSTALLMENT ‘SEVEN
This is - the seventh installment of “The Voice of Destruction,” in which Hermann Rauschning, close associate of Hitler from 1932 to 1935, tells of the Dictater’s intimate dise inner circle of the National Socialist party.
HORTLY after the
Reichstag fire, Hitler asked me for a report on the Danzig situation, for there were to be elections in Danzig as in the Reich. Forster accompanied me. While waiting in the lobby of the Reich Chancellery, we got into conversation with some of the Nazi celebrities who were
also waiting there. Goering, Himmler, Frick and a number of others from the western provinces were talking toe gether. Goering was giving details of the Reichstag fire, the secret of which was still being carefully guarded. I myself had unhesitatingly ascribed it to arson on the part of persons under Communist, or at any rate Comintern, influence. It was not until I heard this conversation that I discovered that the National Socialist leadership was solely responsible, and that Hitler knew of the plan and approved it. Goering described how“his boys” had entered the Reichstag building by a subterranean passage from the President’s Palace, and how they had only a few minutes at their disposal and were nearly discovered. Goring, who had taken the leading part in the conversation, closed with the significant words: “I have no conscience. My conscience is Adolf Hitler.”
» = » OERING has always presented a contrast, to Hitler. In intimate circles, he has not hesitated to use the coarsest expressions about “that womanish fool.” But in decisive crises, he has always stood beside and behind Hitler. It was he who ordered the Reichstg building to be burned at Hitler's . command. He took the responsibility upon himself, just as he did that of the murders on the 30th of June, 1934, of the bourgeois Nationalists, because he considered Hitler too soft and vacillating. And this is the essential difference between Hitler and Goering, for the former, hefore he can “act. must always lash himself out of lethargy and doubt into a frenzy. But( in Goering amorality is second ( ‘nature. We were summoned into Hitler's presence. The conversation began with conditions in Danzig, and Hitler's difficult position in- the Cabinet. ; “I have been advised against accepting the post of Reich Chancellor under the conditions advanced by the old gentleman |von Hindenburgl,” Hitler said. He added scornfully, “As though I had the time to wait till everything falls into my lap of its own accord!” Hitler then began to discuss the Reichstag fire. He asked whether we had seen it yet, and we replied

The Senate Inquiry
The Department of Justice is assemblying material on this and other cases in anticipation of the Senate investigation to be conducted under the .Wheeler resolution concerning tie-ups between American and German industry. The investigation will be particularly concerned with attempts to control prices and restiict production through patents and royalty agreements. Some of the evidence being assembled. indicates that American industry has been held back in certain instances by these foreign patent controls. In one industry, vital to airplane production, German production has gone ahead to a point 10 times larger than American production. Existing German-Amer-ican industrial agreements are regarded by some ine vestigators as having been responsible. They say that some key industries have been held back just as was the case when the First World War caught us with German industry in control of optical goods, drugs, dyes and other products. The important. British industrialist told American officials recently that France's unpreparedness was in part caused by agreements between French and German industrialists that hamstrung development of French industry. Some of the same trouble is suspected here. Enough evidence is on hand to convince | the Department of Justice that the Senate ought to make a thorough investigation.

barians!
“Go and look at it,” he said. “It is the beacon of a new era in the history of the world.” It certainly provided him with a weapon against the opposition. Hitler mocked at the involved and technical speeches and objections of his ministerial colleagues. “They regard me as an uneducated barbarian,” he exclaimed jubilantly, “Yes, we are barbarians! We want to be barbarians! It is. an honorable title. We shall rejuvenate the world! This world is near its end. It is our mission to cause unrest.” “We are not in a position to dally with humane feelings, nor can I undertake tedious investigations into anyone’s goodwill or innocence. We must shake off all sentimentality and be heard. Some day when I order war, I shall, not be in a position to hesitate because of the 10 million young men I shall be sending to their death.” “The world can only be ruled by fear.” ” ” EJ
HE conversation had a kind of sequel later in the autumn. Complaints as to the horrors of the concentration camps had be-
gun to reach Hitler. I remember a particular instance in Stettin, where, in the empty engine-rooms of the former Vulkan docks, respected citizens, some of them of Jewish parentage, were brutally maltreated. Vile things were done in an unmistakable enjoyment of brutality for its own sake. The matter had been brought to Goer-

ing’s attention, and he had been unable to evade an investigation. The cruelty, of a nature increasingly refined, dealt out then and later by the S. S. and S. A. to political opponents was part of a definite plan. The selection of asocial, abnormal ,types to guard the concentration camps was carried out with conscious purpose. Notorious drunkards and criminals were selected from the military organizations of the party and placed in special sub-divi-sions. I happened to be present when Hitler's attention was called to the Stettin incident and other similar occurrences. It was entirely characteristic that Hitler was by no means indignant, as one might have expected, at the excesses of his men, but on the contrary roundly abused those who “made a fuss” about these trivial matters. The occasion was my first experience of Hitler's paroxysms of rage and abuse. He hehaved like a combination of a spoiled child and an hysterical woman. He scolded in high, shrill tones, stamped his feet, and banged his fist on tables: and walls. He foamed at the niouth, panting and stammering in uncontrolled fury: “I won't have it! of them! Traitors!” He was an alarming sight, his hair disheveled, his eyes fixed, and his face distorted and purple. I feared that he would collapse, or have an apoplectic fit. Suddenly it was all over. He walked up and down the room, clearing his throat, and brushing his hair back. He looked appre-

hensively and suspiciously, with searching glances at us. I had the impression that he wanted to see if anyone was laughing. ” ” ” REPOSTEROUS,” Hitler began in a hoarse voice. “Haven't you ever seen a crowd collecting to watch a street brawl? Brutality is respected. Brutality and physical strength. The plain man in the street respects nothing but brutal strength and ruthlessness—women, too, for that matter, women and children. The people need wholesome fear, They want to fear something. They want someone to frighten them and make them shudderingly submissive. Haven't you seen everywhere that after boxing matches the beaten ones are the first to join the party as new members? Why - babble about brutality and be indignant about tortures. The masses want that, They need something that . will give them a thrill of horror.” After a pause, he continued in his former tone: “I forbid you to change anything. By all means, punish one or two men, so that these Nationalist donkeys may sleep easy. But I don't want the concentration camps transformed into penitentiary institutions. Terror is the most effective political instrument. I shall not permit myself to be robbed of it simply because a lot of stupid mollycoddles choose to be offended by it. 1t is my duty to make use of every means of training the German people to severity, and to prepare them for war,”
Hitler paced the room excitedly “My behavior in wartime will be no different. The most horrible warfare is the kindest. I shall spread terror by the surprise eme ployment of all my measures. The important thing is the sudden shock of an overwhelming fear of death. Why should I use differ=ent measures against my internal political opponents? These so0= called atrocities spare me a hunedred thousand individual actions against disobedience and discone tent. People will think twice bee: for opposing us when they hear what to expect in the camps.” No one ventured to put any questions. : “I don’t want to hear anything more about this,” Hitler said in conclusion. “It’s your business to see that no evidence about such cases leaks out.” » » ” | HITLER unfeeling towards
the pain suffered by others? Is he cruel and revengeful? Today there can hardly be a doubt as to the answer, but a few years ago, everyone who had the opportunity of hearing Hitler's remarkable statements in intimate circles, could not but ask himself ‘this question. Every conversation, how= ever unimportant, seemed to show that this man was filled with an immeasurable hatred. In May, 1933, elections took place in Danzig. They turned out more favorably for National So= cialism than the Reich elections, which only brought in 44 per cent of the votes for Hitler. As a re= ward, Hitler invited a number of Danzigers to the Reich Chancellery for afternoon coffee and cakes. Hitler was in a gay mood and almost amiable. A few hours earlier he had given Forster and myself a rough outline of his eastern policy. It was necessary, Hitler ime pressed us, to be astute. German aims were not to be attained in a few days or weeks. We must avoid anything that might give the world cause. for suspicion. He himself was determined to make’ any. treaty that would ease the. position of Germany. He was de= termined to get on with Poland, and it was our task to support him in this. The Danzig problem could not be solved by us, only by him, and even by him only if Germany was strong and feared. The more silently and secretly we carried on our struggle for exe istence, the better for Germany. He had just instituted his curs rency barrier against independent Austria, and thereby begun his ate! tack. on that country. forced through this measurs against the desire of his Foreign: Office, It was evident with what satisfaction he took up this strug= gle, which he regarded as in any case nearly concluded. Flaming hatred burned in his every word —hatred and contempt. “Austria is rotten with Jews. Vienna is no longer a German city. Priests and Jews rule the country. These scoundrels have got to be thrown out!” “We must not deceive ourselves. . There is no longer an Austria. The country that calls itself Austria is a corpse. Austria must be colonized afresh from the Reich.” Above all the Jews had to be removed. It was a heavy task, but he would accomplish it. “Everything we plan will be carried out,” he snapped. “I shall Bay permit anyone to talk me out of it.” What followed covered essentially the measures taken in 1938.

FOOD MONOPOLY PROBE IS BEGUN
U. S. to Determine Whether llegal Restraints Have Forced Up Prices.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 25 (U. P.).— The Justice Department began an investigation . today of alleged monopolies which have been blamed by housewives for unbalanced family food budgets. Investigators will seek to deter-
mine whether illegal restraints have caused unduly high prices for bread, milk, fish, cheese, canned fruits and vegetables, and fresh fruits and vegetables. “The occasion for the food investigation is recent evidence that the food industries function badly a department statement said. “At one end of the food industries lies wholesale malnutrition among consumers due to their inability to afford an adequate diet. At the other end lies a population of producing farmers who must sell an abundance of food at distress prices so low as to threaten them with bankruptcy. “Between are industrial groups, many of which are so close knit and powerful that they have made a satisfactory profit throughout the depression.”
of such groups, the department contended, is the fact that processors
and distributors now receive about 59 or 60 cents of the average consumer dollar, compared with the 40
to 48 cents received during the per-
iod between 1913-20. The depart-
