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.

Thirty-two years old, of the

that he might start the world’s

violence. His party is the “‘Rexist.”

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.

real frankness about the part which
American representatives had in the
original setting of the present day

the underlying causes of the trouble, |

ment handled the extremely deli- |
cate situation with fine ability. 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

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

knew at the time that he was being

“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

Information concerning
their treatment of the Sudeten Ger-
mans in Czechoslovakia was distort-
ed by the Germans. 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

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

and economy of peace? That is a

to be in our seats before the morn-

up the steps we moved with the
measured pace of such a queue. My
eighth-ahead man was all right un-
til at a distance he saw somebody
whom he wanted to see close range.
So, saying that he guessed his mail
could wait, he left his place in the
line. We brisked up, considerably
encouraged. He found his friend,
delivered his message, chatted with
half a dozen others, then came
back to the letter line and as if by
merit of right, stepped into his for-
mer place. He knew better. He
showed the embarrassment that
goes with doing a trick like that.

‘Oglethorpe Trail’ Dates
Back Before Revolution
The old Indian trail and highway
known as the “Oglethorpe Trail,”
dates back to pre-Revolutionary
war days when General Oglethorpe,
founder of the state of Georgia, es-
tablished a thoroughfare from Sa-
vannah to Augusta in 1739, following
his famous treaty conference with
the Creek Indians at Coweta.
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.
