WHO’S NEWS THIS WEEK By LEMUEL F. PARTON EW YORK.—G. Ward Price, British war correspondent, who is Adolf Hitler's friend and support- er, and who has traveled, lunched, : dined and visited Hitler Bares with him off and His Soul to on for years, is Mail Scribe England's most authentic news source as to Der Fuehrer's plans. Lord Rothermere's paper, the Lon- don Daily Mail, which employs Mr. Price, has been scooping the ears off the other London sheets on Hitler stories. Mr. Price previously has related how he and Lord Rothermere were two of four guests at Mr. Hitler's first formal dinner party after he seized power. That was December 19, 1934. It was about this time that Pord Rothermere, reaching 80 per cent of the British reading public, through his newspapers and press associations, began his unceasing campaign for fascism in England. A third guest at the dinner was E. W. D. Tennant, of the Anglo-German fellowship, a fellowship which Lord Rothermere and Mr. Price have dil- igently fostered, with their Apologia Fascisma. Mr. Price, educated at Cam- bridge university, is a seasoned and richly garlanded British war correspondent. As foreign cor- respondent of the Daily Mail, he was with the Turkish army in the first Balkan war; he was an official correspondent at the Dardanelles, he was with the British army at Salonika. He has long been a quasi-official re- -porter for the British empire. He writes concisely, clearly and expertly, with a keen alertness for revealing little human touches and with little concern for the dry imponderables of po- litical or economic theory. His book, *I Know These Dicta- tors,”’ published in this country last year, was, in the view of this writer, big news, and should have stirred up a lot of excitement, Principally about Adolf Hitler and Benito Mus- solini, it builds out of intimately ob- served minutiae of their minds and persons a synthesis of virtue, charm and heroism, Mr. Price, in this book, reports that Adolf Hitler is genteel, humor- ous, courageous, chivalrous, abste- mious, profoundly intellectual, kind- ly, forgiving, unselfish, tender, a clever story-teller, and loves dogs and children. * * * R.

At the age of 19, he was an as sistant professor at Harvard, lectur- ing on ‘““The Theory of- Knowledge.” Dr. Wiener has kept on steadily gathering laurels in the groves of Academe. *. & » VENTS of the last few weeks have, of course, flushed many half-pint Hitlers in Europe, chief among them being young Leon De- A grelle, of Belgium.

Thirty-two years old, of the type of a healthy and husky high-school lad, he is the best- looking of all the Hitler appren- tices, and there's no but that he might start the world’s first great petticoat putsch. Comely young women have flocked to his banner in shoals, and much of his support has come from women.

Tron Much in Situation in Central Europe Has Not Been Told; By WILLIAM BRUCKART WASHINGTON.—It appears that the world is going to be spared a general European war for a while, and yet it should be recognized that the period of peace that has been bought with pieces of a nation is likely to be only ‘‘a while.” From all of the information available in Washington's diplomatic corners combined with the judgment of men who know European politics—and European human nature—it seems that the balance is so delicate as to permit a powder keg being fired by an inconsequential firecracker. Nevertheless, there is much that has not been told about the situation. about the’basic problem in the cen- real frankness about the part which American representatives had in the original setting of the present day grief. American political conditions —domestic politics—obviously con- stitute one reason why there has been only infrequent references to the underlying causes of the trouble, | A more important reason, however, is that if there had been much talk about our original interest, there abroad that Uncle in and act as | Surely, there was no one | dent Roosevelt should do that.

The | pleas which went out to contending | forces carefully avoided possibility | of entanglements; yet, even the bull headed Hitler must have felt the pressure that was represented by them, pressure on whatever ma- chinery within him that he calls his | mind and heart. More than that, public appeal by the United States certainly gave added courage to the | Europeans who were trying to solve | the problem without paying ten mil- | lion lives and billions in money. | | i Root of All the Trouble But let us quit kidding ourselves about the European situation. Why | dodge around the bush concerning | the underlying facts and the blame | that attaches, including such blame | as belongs to us? We must recognize these facts: 1. The root of all the trouble is bedded in the Treaty of Versailles. In that treaty, written in 1919, there | were injustices that could only lead eventually to a head-on collision. It was in the Versailles peace negotia- ions after the World war that Presi- | dent Wilson coined the phrase, ‘self | determination of peoples.” It was in | those negotiations, too, that Lloyd- George of England, Clemenceau of ime Wilson out of everything be- fore they would agree to his ideal- | ism, founding of the League of Na- tions. No one can say that Woodrow Wilson lacked sincerity; and it was ed when a majority of Americans knew at the time that he was being 2. Europe has been made, by fate, They are races and never will mix. Central Europe is | “Self determination of | tion of each and every type and race. It is a possibility, of course, to segregate them as Mr. Wilson the- orized, but it is not at all probable. Mr. Wilson supplied those people with a new idea and then allowed the “big three’ of the Versailles conference to capitalize on his aims, | There has been some measure of fighting about it ever since. Greed and Vengeance Short-Sighted Policy 3. The greed of the allied powers and the vengeance which they sought to wreak on Germany now is proved, as it was charged in 1919, to have been a short-sighted policy, capable of establishing peace only until Germany recuperated and re- gained some strength. Of course, the victors were determined to pre- vent Germany ever again from at- tempting to destroy the world and promote her own selfishness, but their efforts in that direction dis- played only the tendencies of hate, none of the indications of caution or far vision. Even though it be an- other generation and new leaders, no virile nation, including our own, would fail to fight back if the op- portunity ever presented. Germany has been seeking, therefore, only a restoration of some kind. It ap- | pears that the buried hate among | them has been exhumed and made | to live again in the demagoguery of Hitler. He has used it for his selfish ends, to maintain his own power, to satisfy an ego that some folks regard as approaching an un- balanced mentality. 4. The German people have been and continue to be a people requir- ing inflexible leadership. Hitler sup- plies it. He promised them new life, and he apparently has made good on just enough of his promises to provide him with continued pow- er. Most people who have been able to study Hitler's programs at close range declare the whole house of cards eventually will collapse. But for the moment, there is ‘‘action,” and the hope and the desires and the expectations of the German peo- dogmas and the demagoguery of a They will not be "“subju- Is Hitler Through With Demands?

There can be overtime. There was enough leaked through, however, to show that the Prague government was guilty of some harshness. It may have been that the Sudetens, themselves, brought it on. Of that, there can be only a guess. On the other hand, we have seen enough of the pulling and snarling, the sniping have a reasonably good idea of what could have gone on within the con- its 20 years of life. What of the settlement? Is Hitler through with his demands? Are there other underlying motives and conditions yet to be dealt with and outside of the desires of the German minority to get back to the Reich? The answers to these questions explain why I said at the outset that the peace appeared only for “a while.” The Czechs probably have been '‘sold down the river’ to save the continent of Europe. I have no faith in the man, Hitler; almost as in Mussolini, the other The Czechs are going to be unhappy a long time; they wil be resentful, and maybe they will start something. Hitler doubtless still wants the German colonies tak- en away by the Versailles treaty. It would be strange, likewise, if he did not want ‘‘the Polish corridor” re- stored to Germany. Each ambition constitutes a festering sore. Hitler Plans to Make Germany Self-Sufficient Underneath all of the problem, too, lies Hitler's program to make Germany self-sufficient, to make the nation independent of foreign sources of supply. The Rumanian oil fields, rich and productive, are coveted by more than one nation. England and English oil interests maintain a rather definite control, but it is a control that can be broken easily. On the other side of Ruma- nia is the dictator, Mussolini, who displayed the true character of his Put own conclusion, mindful always that to the north lies a great Russian bear, governed by an individual with different concepts, ruled by a steel boot, a people who can be fired with hatred for the Hitler type of govern- ment.

Minister Chamberlain. wonder if two men, especially, with meet Hitler; when they were seek- ing to prevent a catastrophe by what the Czech partisans called, ‘selling the Czechs down the river?" Politi- cully, both Chamberlain and Dala- dier will have to fight for their lives within their respective nations of England and France. One or both may sink into oblivion as a result of the courage shown. And who knows what underlying motives existed in addition to a fear of a general war? Their trip to Munich on September 29 was a fateful trip, one which we in the United States may have to wait several years fully to under- stand. And so, the final question is: can Hitler bring his own people back vor of war preparation, to the life and economy of peace? That is a very real problem. © Western Newspaper Union, LINES...

The British designated the trail in 1780 as a military road, and in 1791 President George Washington trav- eled the road during his southern tour. Rich in scenic sites which pass through deep, jungle-like river swamps abounding with game and the trail also winds through rolling hill territory and along the banks of the Savannah river.
