PLACING THE BLAME * f"vN this page today is reprinted an article by a former editor of the Emerald, attacking those phases of the Hitler regime in Germany which have ’ 0 "to do with the persecution of the JeflfJ. Scarcely • a day passes without a barrage of criticism directed • m • by the press of the nations against Hitler’s Reich. . Although Nazi conduct merits the unfavorable com ’’ments showered upon Germany by the rest of the • . .world, it is perhaps unjust to blame present day ° conditions in Germany wholly upon the people of .•that restless, embittered country. Those nations ! designated as the allies during the World war must » bear their share of blame for the revival of mili • * ‘taristic sentiment in Germany. *. j Shortly before November 11, 1918, a socialist government replaced the Hohenzollern dynasty and • • exterided its hand in peace to the allies. Prussian • militarism was discredited throughout Germany, and',army officers were mobbed in several cities. . But the allies refused to clasp the extended hand. Socialist Germany received the punishment that , imperial Germany perhaps deserved. The Reich „ wjis robbed of territory, saddled with tremendous reparations, and humiliated in every possible man ner. •-’For, a decade a liberal German government la bored, in vain to regain German prestige. Allied suspicion wrecked the plans of Stresemann and his successors. Disgusted at the failure of liberalism and* enraged at Germany’s lowly position in the council of nations the youth of Germany rallied aroundHitler’a banner. The inevitable result is seeri'iih the intensive nationalism of Hitlerized Ger .4 many; 'The exuberant spirit of German youth demands an outlet. Herr Hitler realizes that Germany is unprepared '.to strike back at France. He looks for foes.*. Voila The Jews! The communists. The Socialists.* * ■*’ .V4iz'fcl "r»4" Many Je\\’s;fdught for. the Fatherland, and the majority o’f them^ai’el'-sd^er: 'honest, industrious shopkeepers and farmers’—-a credit to any nation. But certain influential'"ones were war and post-war profiteers and Qeriuan feeling can be aroused against them. As for communism., and socialism. they are international in scope and are therefore detrimental to the nationalistic spirit Hitler aims to impregnate in Germany, Hence we have the savage Nazi attacks on Jews, communists, and socialists. Hitler’s idealism can hardly be defended. His methods cannot be excused. Yet the allies indirectly strengthened the Nazi party during the past decade by their policy of treating Germany as an enemy. «rj^ELL them to keep it as clean as possible.” These words were used by the vice-presi dent of the student body, who is in charge of the freshman elections tomorrow, in requesting that the Emerald help him in seeing that the yearling | election is conducted fairly and honestly. They are mild words, but they show the misgivings with which student body facials contemplate the ap proaching contest as the enthusiastic but immature politicalites lock horns. It is an odd but ft tquently observed phenome non that the simple freshmen, uninitiated as they are supposed to be in the wiles of political log-roll ing, usually manage to create a foul mess of mud slinging, pre-election “promising" and shady dick ering.that far overshadows the efforts of the up .'perclassmen'.'- ... ’ t* ’ s' The present enfeebled A. S. U. O. constitution doesn’t impose much restraint on freshman election activities. The vice-president ‘of the student body has determined to put teeth in the election .rules by declaring that any stuffing of the ballot box will result in the disqualification of the candidate whose supporters commit the offense. The Emerald seriously doubts whether the con stitution gives the vice-president power to dis qualify a candidate because of corrupt election prac tices, but it is undeniably true that campus senti ment would be whole-heartedly in support of such a move. Student body officers are convinced that freshman elections must not be the near-riots that they have been in previous years, even if it means the usurpation of power that is not unquestionably theirs. Therefore, in spite of the fact that "keep it as clean as possible” sounds more like an ad monition than a command, freshmen will be wise to keep their enthusiasm well within the bounds of fair play and decent tactics. AS CLEAN AS POSSIBLE On Other Campuses Socialistic Capitalistic Union UNDER the caption, "Somebody stole my plat form," the St. Louis Po3t-Dispatch carries a cartoon showing a man with a drooping banner labeled Socialist party. The man is looking at the one or two planks left of a platform. Nobody in administration circles will permit the adjective “socialistic” to be applied to the recovery program of the Democrats, but it is plain that the word is fairly well descriptive of what is taking place in this country. There is a wide gap between the laissez-faire policy of the past century and the fixing of hours, wages, volume of production and size of crops un der the NRA. The new program certainly has many earmarks of socialism And yet it is not socialism, and Socialists can not very well agree with the conception graphi cally embodied in the Post-Dispatch cartoon. The program is not socialistic. The political philosophy underlying it is capitalistic and not socialistic. The phenomenon of the NRA is one of the most surprising paradoxes in history, seeking as it does to effect a marriage between government regula tion and individual freedom. Whether or not the two can be made to lie in the same bed is unpre dictable, but we can be rather sure that if they do everything will not be peace and happiness.— Oklahoma Daily. Contemporary Opinion A Corvallis View ACCORDING to dispatches from Eugene, the fraternities and sororities have been added to the 2000 citizens already in Eugene and throughout the state to canvass for students for the university. That's the kind of a spirit we like to see. When Eugene publicly announced that it was organizing the state in a campaign for students, we tried to interest a few Corvallis people in the same idea. They were for it all right till they found it took money to do the canvassing. They were for it even then provided someone else would furnish the money. Eugene is collecting from her 2000 people and with the aid of the fraternities and sororities who also have much at stake, it may be possible to restore her student oddy to pre-depression pro portions. It will do so, of course, at the expense of the college. College fraternitjes and sororities are “as; interested in student enrollment as is the university. They have to bear indebtedness too. Maybe they could induce selfish and indifferent [•Corvallis merchants and others to aid a movement. . to bring- students here by a blue eagle campaign of our own. Corvallis Gazette-Times. Innocent Bystander By BARNKY CLARK Bill Angel, the Saint of Spee, has a heart of gold, and we can prove It. Here's the deal. Bill went around the open house grind, and in the due course of time ar rived at Westminster house, where he seized upon some helpless mem ber of the independent group and dragged her manfully around the floor. During the dance he asked her if her sisters would mind if she stepped out on the porch. “Sisters?” says she inquiringly. “Why, this is Westminster house. I’m an independent woman." “Oh,” says Bill, “that's too bad. Why don't you join a house?” "1 can't,” retorts the gal, wist fully, "X haven't got the money.” “Don’t let that worry you." comes back the Saiut, gallantly. “I'lr give you the money to join a kouos!" And he toddles oft into the darkness, his good deed for the day all done*. • • * * * The Pi K. A.'s have weird tastes When it comes to collecting ob jects d'art. This time they got away with the top of the newel post at Westminster house. Open house has a mighty odd effect on some guys. Witness the tale of the gentleman from Sigma Alpha Mu who proposed to the first red-headed gal he met in Zeta Tan Alpha. This was pretty far into the evening and he was tired or something t principally something). Imagine Innocent Bystander's surprise the other day upon wandering into one of the gen tlemen's washrooms tin the cam pus to he confronted by a poster which read: “Hey, gals, get your man for the Vursity Ball!" \p jiarvntly tli • Order of the O doesn't leave much to chance! « » • OGDEN GNASHES How does Simpson rheta Kappa Alpha Theta ?

The Morning After - • By STANLEY ROBE r t 1 ^ The New Germany By RICHARD NEUBERGER Editor’s Note: Few magazine articles in recent ye^rs have aroused as much interest and dissension on the campus, as this descrip tion in the current issue of The Nation of Nazi anti-semitic atrocities. The author was editor of the Emerald last year, and traveled through Europe during the summer. He is the first Oregon student to write for the lib eral weekly and one of its youngest contrib utors. It is reprinted by permission of The Nation; because of its length, the article will be divided into four installments. It is copy righted, 1933, by The Nation, Inc. "Visit the New Germany,” the American tourist, reads in the ad vertising columns of Paris editions of American newspapers. Embel lished with photographs of pictur esque scenery and stately cathe drals, the advertisements strive to persuade the tourist that Hitler’s “new Germany” is virtually iden tical with the old Germany of charm and Gemutlichkeit. That the advertising often appears in issues which carry front-page ac counts of Nazi violence has been harmful but, surprisingly, not fa tal to the purpose of costly dis plays. Despite a falling off in the tourist trade, foreigners return home frequently with tales of the peace and contentment that pre vail under the Nazis. They stay at the Hotel - in the larger cities and blandly report that “they saw no outrages,” and pay tribute to the “new spirit” engen dered by Hitler. Of this type is Mayor James M. Curley of Bos ton. It is more surprising, how ever, to find a supposed scholar like Dean Henry Wyman Holmes of the Harvard Graduate School of Education, who returned on Sep tember 10, reported by the Asso ciated Press as saying: “I think the reports of Hitler’s oppression of the Jews have been exaggerat ed. Some action may have been necessary”; "it is something Ger many needed”; "Germany Jias re gained self-respect." This noted educator, author inter alia of "The Path of Learning," arrived at these conclusions, he admits, in France and “from talking with people on 'the voyage home" (aboard the German liner Berlini, and without visiting Qermany. For a week in Paris I listened to tourists who described Hitler’s Germany in rosy colors. On ques tioning, however, 1 found that they had visited only the places feat tired in the advertisements. Not one had strayed to a town off the beaten track. I determined to make a different sort of a trip to the “new Germany,” and visit the hamlets and villages of the Black Forest and the Rhine country plac es where Americans are not ex pected. The officials at the bor der were courteous. On the main I streets of the large tourist cen ! ters I too saw no violence. Then I left the tourist highway and head ed for a little village in the hills west of the Neckar river. It was 30 kilometers from the railway. Only a-twisting automobile road penetrated the hills and forests surrounding it. The inn. at which l was the only guest, was run by an old Catholic woman. She was easily led into conversation and told me how her little business had been ruined by the Nazis. It was not difficult to make a person of her political misfortunes my ally, and l persuaded her to introduce me to other victims in the little community. In a ramshackle house near the outskirts of the hamlet I met a distraught old woman. Two nights before, a troop of brown-shir ted Hitlerites had taken away her two v»art Iv because thov wers Jew.-, partly because their politi cal affiliations had been with the Social Democrats. "Say goodby to your mother, you may never see her again,” ordered the Nazi lead er. For 48 hours she had waited for word of her sons. They were her only kin. She had spent all of a small life-insurance policy edu cating one for law, the other for medicine. It was not in my power to con-1 sole this frantic gray-haired wid ow, but I tried to find some trace of her boys. The search did not last long. The next day the two young men, whose “crimes” had been their race and their belief in a government for the majority of the people, were sent home—in plain board coffins. The Nazis as serted that the boys had died of tuberculosis, though neither had been ill when taken from his home. Their mother »was compelled to sign a paper agreeing not to open the coffins; the undertaker and the rabbi had to collaborate in this promise. "Otherwise,” admonished the Nazi chief, “we will dispose of the bodies ourselves.” But in the village was a young Jewish doctor, a war veteran, and one of the few undaunted victims of the Hitler persecution whom I met. Despite Hitler's promise to exempt Jewish ex-soldiers from discrimination, the young man's entire practice had been taken from him by the burgomaster, and he had been beaten up the local “Brown House." But he was un afraid. He said to me: “I'll open ■ those coffins if you will help me to get out of the country.” I prom ised. (Today he is somewhere in France.) That night, by candle light, he opened the oblong boxes. Every major bone in both bodies was broken. The flesh was terri bly lacerated; the boys had suf fered horribly before they died. The next afternoon the young men were buried in the Jewish cemetery. Over their coffins the old rabbi, his bear blowing in the summer breeze, spoke a few W'ords of praise. For the offense of eulo gizing the two dead boys, the rab bi was beaten at the local Nazi headquarters, and the local news paper—a mere bulletin—which printed some of his words, was suppressed for three months. The mother was sent to a sanitarium by the young physician, her mind clouded by the catastrophe. Thus was I introduced dto the ‘‘new Germany,” the Germany adver tised as “less expensive, but other wise unchanged." After that I was better prepared for what I saw and heard. I saw new mounds in virtually every Jewish cemetery, marking the resting places of victims of “Nazi tuberculosis." Still hoping they can fool their own citizens and the rest of the world, the Hitlerites camouflage, their murders. The victim either “committed suicide,” “was shot while trying to escape," or “died from tuberculosis.” An nouncements are printed in the newspapers accordingly. Always Mannequin sl^tsy LEE 1 AUTUMN, ahoy! With all this sudden, brisk weather comes the search for warmer things, and, sad to say, we regretfully lay away our summery, airy dresses. Win ter is just around the block! Knitted sports fashions are in : the limelight. Whether you knit the gown, or buy it ready-made it’s the real dope. Knotty, knitted jumper dresses have attained real ; success in the sportswear world, and they are “oh, so smart!" with trim linen blouses of contrasting colors. One-piece tweed knits are smai and extremely practical. The ribbed knits are also in the front line, but they must very simple in color and contour. The ribbing is decorative enough in itself with : out further flourishes. Britain is renowned the world1 over for sports wear. The English have a certain flare for knowing what to wear for any sport ocea eion. whether it be as a spectator) or active participation. Hence, the new idea of twin sweater sets with tweed skirts has permeated this country until we are all fran tically looking about for them, if you aren't one of these lucky people who really own a set. com bine a cardigan with a high or crew necked sweater and the re ^ult ’> fix?rtv The late fall showings included all variations of the juniper and jacket dresses. Patterned woolens are destined for extreme popular ity, and the contrasting skirts of large plaids are positively clever. Checked materials are running close seconds. Large or small, brown or black -it makes no dif ference, but your checkered vest must have that "racetrack" air about it. Brown alone is the color of the day. Footwear must be brown, hose should be brown, and the con trasting color might be bright red, orange, or green. What a lovely color—green! There are warm greens, cool greens, refreshing greens, dull greens, and. joyous greens.

Before I left that little town I met the families of two Jewish girls, both of whom had been smuggled across the border to a hospital in Switzerland. Their par ents spoke in whispers of a night when the Nazis had come for the girls. They had been stripped and beaten and made to dance naked before their tormentors. Under the threat of death to themselves and their families, they had been compelled to accept the advances of their captors. The girls were only eighteen. In the morning their families found them, bleeding and senseless, in a meadow near the Brown House.
