HULER'SDAYOVER,
IS NEW YORK VIEW
Find Only Monopolies Able
To Survive NRA Age In
United States
By LESLIE EICHEL
(Central Press Staff Writer)
New York. July 2.—Y.es, it will be a
military) dictatorship in Germany.
Such is the view here.
When anti-Hitlerites in America as
serted that ‘.the leader” was due to
fall, they shouted with joy
A military dictatorship will come (if
it does) because the dominant forces
in Germany have done with Hitler.
They believe he hasn’t gone far
enough.
A writer in the New York Post, a
German exile, writes similarly.
This writer —Johannes Steel —takes
the view that Hitler was used by the
large industrialists led by Thyseen to
deliver the industry of the country
over to them and to enslave labor.
The writer also alleges that President
von Hindenburg as head of the group
owning large tracts of land used -hit
ler to cut taxation on their property
and to keep the property intact. And
now that Hitler has been used as far
as he can be used, those groups will
set up another “dynamic figure” (the
term is mine) and maybe a Hohenzol
lern on a throne to do their bidding
Well, maybe that writer is correct.
But he reckons without the outside
world. A Hohenzollern on a German
throne simply would mean that France

mans are not foolish enough to in
vite htat, in their present degree of

MANY DEPARTMENTS
Some are Out-and J Out
Graft, Others Only Gross
Mismanagement
By CHARLES P. STEWART
(Central Press Staff Writer)
Washington, July 2.—Abuses of va
rious sorts are beginning to be un
covered in one governmental subdi
vision after another as the now do
minant element in Washington digs
more and more edeply into details of
their respective systems of operation
in recent years
These abuses do not all represent
out-and-out graft.
Some do. Some represent only gross
mismanagement, but as expensive to
Uncle Same as actual dishonesty.
Because they are just being reveal
ed it is not unlikely that the current
administration will be blamed' for
them. As a matter of fact most of
them are of long standing and the
administration of today is entitled to
credit for bringing them to public at
tention —is blameworthy, if at all, for
having been a trifle slow in doing so
But, perhaps, at that, it is unfair to
accuse the present powers of delay.
The evils they are striving to deal
with date back, in their origin, at
least to the war period. Fifteen or
sixteen months is not a long enough
interval to have permitted more than
a start upon the task of analyzing
them.

For example, it will not be until
Congress next meets that many folk
wil] sense anything like the real im
port of Senator Hugo L. Black’s in

During the last seession the Ala
bama senator was too busy with his
inquiry to clarify, for popular under
standing, the significance of the facts
he was bringing out. Starting next
January he should and undoubtedly
will find time to explain the probe’s
results in first reader language (the
Alabaman is good at simplicity of ex
pression. when he needs to be), to
make it plain to the whole country
how it has been mulcted, through the
