Depends on Breaks The timing of the coup, it is said. epends on the breaks—on European developments 2s a whole no less than on developments within Germany itself. That is why Mussolini’'s downfall is so important. [It goes a long way toward bringing things to a head. An Austrian general and former member of the Austrian general staff said several months ago that the German army would take over when the right time came. When I asked what he meant by “the right time,” he replied substantially as follows: “German officers who despise Hitler are nevertheless just as loyal to the fatherland as Hitler is—or even more so. For while his first ‘thought is of the Nazi party and personal glory, theirs is for théir country. “That has been their training.

Riots Gone Too Far
Badoglio will not succeed in rallving the Italians, it is believed here, as riots in Italy have gone too far.
Evidence is piling up that the Germans were caught short by Mussolini's ouster. The evidence has been provided by the Nazi propa-| ganda Zucjiine itself which after hours silence gave the public only wo bare facts of the Italian | communiques. The development of the German propaganda line was halting and lame. It placed repeated emphasis | upon the “calm” with which the news was received plus statements that no special measures were necessary within Germany itself.
| Hitler Had a Hint
“So the officers will not force matters. If given enough rope, the fuehrer will hang himself. His guesswork war planning has alréady brought colossal defeats. Sooner or later he will become so unpopular that the people will welcome his ouster. That will be the time to act.” Much, of course, depends on the. jattitude of Russia. But Russia, ‘many believe, is ready to play ball
