GERMAN YOUTH
HOLDS FUTURE
OF HITLERISM
BERLIN. Feb. 18. t-P.—Under the
aegis of Adolf Hitler. German
youth has entered the political
arena with a grimness reserved for
war in other nations.
Hitlerism is staking its future in
its youth movement, and it is not
difficult to conceive if these young
sters were eligible to vote there
would be no question as .to the out
come of the reichstag and Prussian
diet election March 5.
Behind Fighting
But youth of all political camps
is fighting the street battles in the
current campaign—becoming mili
tant as Hitler prescribed long ago
for the “salvation* of Germany.
When the smoke clears away from
the scenes of bombings, waylay
ings and clashes that have mark
ed Germany's incipient state of
civil war since Hitler’s rise to pow
er. the perpetrators or victims are
generally youths, fired with hate
and trained to fight to the last
breath.
Popular With Young
The ominous warnings of Hitler
leaders that the March 5 elections
may be the last ever held In Ger
many and that it does not much
matter whether the chancellor is
able to overcome his oppositions
majorities in the reichstag and diet
may not be tmpty threat- For be
hind them is his popularity among
the younger generation.
The fact that 15O.0OO youths and
girls are enrolled in the Nazis’
strictly youth organizations, against
30,000 in the communists, indicates
which of the two radical parties is
the more popular among the
young. Among adults the ratio is
two to one—there being only 19ti
Nazis to 100 communists elected to
the reichstag dissolved early this
month by the Hitler government.
