When the social democrats begged for easier terms we got tough. Hitler was the inevitable result. So in deploring the present gangster government of Germany we must accept part of the blame. As for Hitler, one hesitates to call names. We are given to name-calling too, with far less justification. One does not go through a presidential election without learning to discount the stories told about men in pub lic office. Nevertheless, we did hear many stories about Hitler, from responsible people. The man generally accepted as the foremost American journalist in Ber lin told us that Hitler is a combination of genius and madman. He believes that he is God’s agent to bring the German people out of their difficulties. He has a GOOSE-STEPPING AT TOMB OF THE UNKNOWN SOLDIER genius for stirring the people through speeches; he IN BERLIN has uncanny ability to take action at the psychological liquidated, with the most unjust restrictions placed upon time; wise politically, he plays one faction against an those that remain.
