Peace Feelers

5 (Second of a’ Series) « WASHINGTON, Nov. 26—Winston Churchill fis opposed to a negotiated peace now for the same reaSan Hitler is in favor. Germany has won control of Continental Europe, and certainly would retain that control either directly or indirectly in a negotiated peace af_ this. time. Of course England herself would fare better in a peace now than with Hitler in London. Why

‘shouldn’t she save her own skin?

The situation is not so simple. Because Britain is a world emIpire, far more than the British Isles is involved. In. the first plage,

the European continent. second place, the Empire canno survive without control of the se ‘including the Mediterranean li line. xf | ‘ Js Even if England obtained freedom for herself in 8° negotiated peace—to which Hitler is supposed to

be agreeable—she would escape slavery only to be-'

come a kind of pre-war Denmark. That is unacceptable to the British, as a matter not only of sentiment, but of life itself. For the entire economic life of England is sustained by world trade. erefore the usual description of this war as 8 struggle for world power” is no figure of speech. It is deadly accurate. Hitler's Big Mistake In general there are only four alternatives. One is that Britain continue to exercise sea control directly. Second, that she control jointly, with a friendly power (such as the U. S.) or through some form (of international order dominated by her and her friends. Third, that control pass to unfriendly powers—which means death for her. Fourth would be ‘chaos, in which Germany and the Axis failed to ymaintain the control seized from Britain. Such chaps and recurring wars would be almost as disastrous Britain as would be effective Nazi domination of the Mworld. ; In present London policy these alternatives boil “flown to a choice between destruction of Britain or fof Naziism, ‘As Churchill phrased it:

{ROPE EF EW 3 AWE (Ernie Pyle is en

By Ludwell Denny

“We seek to beat the life and soul out of Hitler and Hitlerism—that alone.” Not so much to make the world safe for democracy, as to make it safe for the British Empire. That, of course, is the one great mistake Hitler has made. has prevented the compromise British-German partnership in world domination which he originally planned. : In effect, this is what Hitler is now offering Britain in his peace feelers. He is saying: Accept us as your partner in world control as you once accepted France. That would involve letting down the conquered nations Britain has sworn to liberate. -But self-interest and self-survival are a primary policy for nations.

Munich Ended Partnership

The difficulty is that Churchill cannot trust Hitler

- now, even as much as Britain once trusted her Jap-

anese partners or the Bonnets and Lavals of France. One reason is Hitler's commitments to Italy and Japan, which would dismember the British Empire

in the Mediterranean, Africa and the Far East. Another is the memory of Munich. The first hurdle is easier than the second. Hitler, by his reported peace feelers envisaging German recognition of the British Empire in exchange for acceptance of German control of Continental Europe, implies that he is ready to double-cross his Axis partners. There is nothing inherently improbable in that. But, whatever Hitler promises, the memory of. Munich will not down. Munich was a British-Hitler partnership. And it was not the first. Britain's refusal to support France against Hitler when he started building the Nazi navy, mechanized army and air force, was a tacit partnership. Destruction of the Spanish republic was & direct result of ToryHitler partnership. Munich broke that partnership. So the bait Hitler dangles before Churchill today is the same that hooked Chamberlain. Now it is more than a difference between Churchill, who never trusted the Munich partnership, and the appeasement group which still dreams of a Tory-Nazi partnership against Russi The British public itself has changed. The British people demanded war in September, 1939, and demand a continuance of the war today.

oe Washington WASHINGTON, Nov. 26—As if we didnt have

enough to worry about, we have the problem of what to do with our defeated Presidential candidates.

One_solution might be .to tell them to go jump in’

After a man has run for President, and has received millions of votes, he considers himself a public spokesman and refuses to be pushed aside. And quite rightly. He has earned a place in public affairs. But no such place is assigned to him, under our system, except whatever one he can make by his own wits. Usually a defeated candidate is reduced to making occasional speeches on topics of the day before private gatherings. He takes his chances on publicity and radio time and unless he becomes sengational he gets only ‘Class B attention. A suggestion is gaining currency for a constitutional amendment that would automatically make a defeated major-party candidate for President -a United States Senator for life, or until he reaches a certain age, perhaps 70 vears. The same thing, it is suggested, should be done for ex-President.

‘A More Useful Suggestion

Such a proposal would give us now these Sena-tors-at-Large: James M. Cox, John W. Davis, Alfred E. Smith, Herbert Hoover, Alf M. Landon and Wendell Willkie. " Can anyone say that this group of men would riot be valuable to the nation sitting as United States Senators? | * i This. proposal has been mad ®t only in private * gorrespondence which has come #4 since the election put it is discussed at length in™an editorial in the current SaMirday Review of Literature.

Leo Is the Lion, All Right

ALL THE INDIANS sat around the Perry tepee yesterday and smoked the peace pipe, or at least, so it seemed. But the rumblings that have been coming from the Indianapolis American Association baseball club offices weren't completely stilled. It has been rumored that President Leo Miller and Owner Norman Perry Sr. have been “gee-ing” and “haw-ing” in opposite directions. No amount of shushing has quieted the report. Best information at the moment is that Mr. Miller will be around for ancther year at least. It's said that the Indians-Cincinnati’ Reds player hookup is really a Leo Miller-Warren Giles arrangement. (Mr. Giles is Cincinnati's general manager.) And, our informants say, if. Mr. Miller departed, the Tribe-Red deal would go right with him. In that case, the Indianapolis club would be left with little more than a few spare bats and some dirty baseballs.

gave recognition of a kind to minority, although the Vice Presidency is something of an ornamental office except in its potential character. The Senatorial suggestion is a more useful one. df majority rule is a prime element of our form of Government, so is recognition of the minority. Our whole political system protects the minority in its right to criticize the Government and to try to throw the incumbents out.. But we immediately take out of circulation the man who leads this minority in Presidential campaigns.

The National Outlook

Of course it will be said that if we give public office to a defeated candidate for President, why not to a defeated candidate for the Senate or the House? There is a difference. The Senator or Representative is essentially a local agent. The tendency of Senators and Representatives is to champion the local interests of their constituents without too much regard for| national policy. The most loyal Administration Senator is likely to bolt on tariff matters, and did in tle reciprocal trade program if his own local state interests were opposed to it. We had the spectacle of the late Senator Pittman, Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, fighting the Hull reciprocal trade program. ‘An infusion into the Senate of men with the prestige of Presidential candidacy would go a long way toward bridging over these sectional patchworks and tend to make the Senate more a national forum for dealing with national problems from a national point of view. These Senators-at-Large would be free to think in national terms and to improve the level of debate. If there is anything more important right now to democracy I'd like to know what it is. But the very suggestion that such a change would improve the level of debate probably will kill ‘the idea. Practical Senators are not apt to vote to submit a constitutional amendment that would bring into their midst a bloc of elder statesmen. But they can’t throw a fellow in jail for bringing up the suggestion,

Help Yourselves, Nazi Heads Told

- (INSTALLMENT EIGHT)

This is the eighth installment of the most sensational book of the year, “The

Voice ot Destruction,” which tells how

Adolf Hitler plans to win world domination, crush the established churches, do away with universal education and make Germany the master of a world of slave races. . It was written by Hermann Rauschning, former president of the Danzig Senate and -from 1932 to 1935 a: close associate of Hitler.

HITLER knew very well that the ordinary person cannot live on hate and revenge alone. This man,

who was quite consciously

making use of the worst human instincts, knew the weaknesses and desires of his people very thoroughly. “Don’t marry, till I am in power,” he used to advise his lieutenants, the Reich leaders and others who looked upon their posts as secure and permanent jobs, and expressed a wish to live prosperous, comfortable lives. “Occupy positions,” was Hitler's slogan as soon as he came to power. To seize everything available in the way of jobs was the rule everywhere. “I give my men every freedom,” Hitler said, in the course of a dinner-table conversation. “Do anything you like, but don’t be caught at it!” - - It was Hitler himself that egged on his men quite intentionally to make the most of their opportunities. They needed no second bidding. It was then that I heard the curious expression: “planned cor-, ruption.” Certainly this corruption was planned, and not merely condoned. Hitler knew he had to Jos is men “get something out 0. i n It is nothing new for a revolution to help its sons to enrich themselves, but in Germany this was done with such ‘shameless haste that it made one dizzy to watch. One, two, or four houses, country places, palaces, pearl necklaces, antiques, valuable tapestries and paintings, dozens of motor cars, champagne, farms, factories — where did the money come from? Had not all these people been poor as churchmice, up to their eyes in debt? There were posts of all kinds, honorary directorships and dividends, loans . and bonuses. Everyone was anxious to help: every bank and business enterprise required the protection of a party member. The Fuehrer, however, waived his claims to the Chancellors salary, thus setting a good example. He could well afford to do so. Overnight he had become the richest publisher in the world, worth millions, and the most widely read author—read under compulsion. He could afford to complain about Goering’s excesses and extravagance.

ATELY appointed secretary of state had his apartments furnished at the state’s expense for ninety thousand marks, as the department concerned in the Reich. Finance Ministry complained to me.

McNutt Report Shows Many Aviation and Shipbuilding Aids in State.

Times Special : WASHINGTON, Nov. 26.—There are 9957 qualified workers for defense industries registered with the Public Employment Service in In-

McNutt disclosed today. < The report covers 500 occupations essential to defense and shows that 218,000 such qualified workers are registered in the 1500 State-oper-ated employment offices of the U. 8. Employment Service throughout the United States. : It is based on a supfey dated Sept. 28, which shows a 9 per cent decrease from Aug. 31, Mr. McNutt reported. Largest registrations are in the populous industrial states. Nearly half of the total was reported by California, Illinois, Michigan, New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania. The Indiana breakdown by crafts was as follows: ’ Aircraft manufacturing 10; construction 1413; electrical goods manufacturing 436; foundry and machine shop 4674; other metal trades 1256; shipbuilding 15; transportation, communication, and public utilities 818, and miscellaneous 1335. :

City Hall—

Power to

By RICHARD LEWIS Legislation is being drafted at City Hall to prevent the development of future slums. A group of officials, who have been thinking about it for a long time, now are convinced that the City must tighten its control over the development of residential areas in

and adjacent to the City. . Otherwise, they believe, the mushroom growth of low-cost developments, built without any permanent improvements, will deteriorate into new “blighted areas.” Their theory is that Indianapolis is still growing—fast. The City is reaching farther and farther out into the country. It limits are constantly widening.’

Want Uncontested Authority

Now is the time, they say, to institute iron-clad City planning. Specifically, they believe the City should have incontestable authority to require the installation of sewers and streets in new ' developments. They believe that these improvements are necessary to maintain property values. At present, the Works and Zoning Boards have limited power in this respect. Where ground has not yet been platted, they can require a developer to -provide for sewers and paved streets as a condition of accepting a plat. Where ground already has been platted, the City has no power to require ‘a developer to put in these improvements.

Seek Wider Jurisdiction

It is to bring under their jurisdiction platted ground that Works and Zoning Board officials plan to seek amendments to building statutes. They want a law that will empower them to require adequate sanitation and street facilities as a condition of issuing a building permit. They want to be able to tell a developer that he cannot build unless he puts in streets and sewers. , Indianapolis, the officials claim, is

to controlled, planned corruption. But Hitler had more in his mind than this. He knew that there is nothing so binding as crimes committed in company. I found out later how the party, to make certain of unreliable members, forced them to commit punishable acts in its interests in-order to keep them under complete control. The same principle underlay the sharing out of the long-desired spoils. It is of interest to note that well-founded rumors were already spreading to the effect that each of the leading party members,

where this power is not vested in the municipality. The Works Board last spring adopted a resolution which gave it authority to require permanent improvements for the development of unplatted ground.. The Board now wants that same power over platted ground. 1 The officials are planning to see the Legislature about it.

ALIEN REGISTRATION WEEK IS DEGLARED

Notified that approximately 25 per cent of the unnaturalized citizens or aliens in Indiana have not yet complied with the Alien Registration Law, Governor Townsend today proclaimed Dec. 1-7 as Alien Registration Week in Indiana. The Governor urged aliens to register during that period to avoid the annual Christmas rush of business which will soon swamp the postoffices in the county seats where they must register. The deadline for registration is Dec. 26. The law requires the registration and fingerprinting of all aliens 14 years of age and over and that alien children under 14 must be registered by ‘their parents or guardians. Failure to comply with the act may result in a $1000 fine, a six-months prison sentence, or both.

and everyone else who was able to, 'was placing money ahroad in order to ensure himself against all eventualities. Besides the money, there was usually also deposited in a bank safe or with a solicitor a dossier of incriminating material, the publication of which might have disastrous results for a number of important personages of the National Socialist movement. These dossiers were intended as a sure protection for the possessor against intervention by the party or tae civil authorities.

”n " s

HE remarkable , feature of these early self-revelations is the quite candid cynicism with which the position was discussed in party circles. I must return to a dinner-table conversation in

Hitler's home during this same’

early summer of 1933. The conversation opened with a reference by Goebbels to the National Socialist humour journal, Die Brennessel (The Stinging Nettle). Goebbles mentioned some ‘caricatures on the extraordinary decree promulgated by the then Chancellor von Papen, who. had assumed responsibility for the ‘maintenance of public decency by instructions as to the kinds .of bathing-suits it was permissible to wear. Goebbels made some sharp comments about the antedeluvian moral conceptions of the reactionaries. Hitler, who had up till then sat in morose silence, now joined in the conversation, and soon talked himself into a rage. “I detest this prudery and moral snooping,” he said. “It had nothing to do with our struggle. Our uprising has nothing to do with bourgeois morals. We are an uprising of the strength of our nation. The strength of its loins, if “you like, as well. I shall not spoil the fun for any of my lads. If I demand the supreme effort from them, ‘then I must also give them the right to carouse as they please, not as it suits a lot of churchgoing old women. Heaven knows my boys are no angels, and they are not expected to be. I am not interested in their private lives any more than I will permit any snooping about my own private life.” Small men and criminals—these were the ‘old -guard” of Hitler. They were all trying to consolidate their positions, and they were all able to refer to the Feuhrer. No one,- up to those in the highest

- posts, quite trusted the peace,

It was an evil competition in cynicism. The old upper classes wanted to remain on top. Bared of any shame or dignity, they clung to their positions, followed all the party doings they were told to follow—anything not to lose their positions. Never before has there been such corruption, such lack of stamina, in Germany! Nope of these desperadoes had

After Leaving the League (October, 1933)

ERMANY had left the League of Nations. I was present at Geneva when this momentous decision—the first of Hitler's abrupt political surprises—was taken. On my return to Berlin, I went to call on Hitler. It seemed necessary to draw his attention to the dangers of the situation. In the universal tension, the slightest mistake on our part might precipitate a “preventive” war on Germany. That, at least, was my impression. Hitler was of a dif~ ferent opinion. He greeted me with the words: “These people want war. Let them have it—but only when it suits me.” I replied that we had certainly heard indignant cries of C'est la guerre! in the lobbies and corridors of Geneva. Hitler waved his hand contemptuously. “They don’t dream of making war. Goebbels has reported to me already. A pretty crew they are! They’ll never act, They'll just protest. And they will always be too late.” Hitler asked if I had anything to report of my impressions. I replied that Germany's position seemed to me a precarious one. “What sort of chap is Simon?" Hitler broke in. “Is it true he’s a Jew?” I replied that I had never heard anything of the. kind about the British Foreign Secretary. “I've been told he's a Jew, and wants to destroy Germany.” ” ” ” 2 HIS seemed to me extremely unlikely, I said. I had, on the contrary, gained the impression that Sir John was the very man who wanted to clear up relations with Germany. I took the liberty, on the strength of the past summer’s experiences, to urge the need for the strictest discipline in all party organizations. Only if all “incidents” were avoided could we hope to escape danger. Without a doubt our resignation from the League was increasing the risks for German rearmament, and awakening premature suspicion of our new national policy. Hitler got up and paced the room in silence for some minutes. Then, without looking at me, he embarked upon self-justifying monologue. “I had to do it. A liberating deed was necessary—one that should be universally comprehensible. I had to tear the German people out of this clinging network of dependence, vain talk and false conceptions in order to restore our liberty of action. I am ‘not merely an opportunist. Perhaps the difficulties have for the moment been increased. But that is counterbalanced by the increased confidence this deed has won me among the German people. This is the only sort of action, ‘be it wise or not, that the people understand—not this eternal, sterile arguing and haggling, which never leads to any result. The people are tired of being led by the nose.” : NEXT~—Plans for “World Revolution.”
