GERMANY AND FASCISM
The decline of Fascism in Germany has been as sudden
as its rise. The Hitlerites scored an astounding victory in
the Reichstag election last September and they are now suf
fering defeats no less surprising. What little power was
.left to. them was lost when Wilhelm Frick, pioneer fascist
in Germany, was voted out of his position as minister of cul
ture and the interior for the province of Thuringia. German
Fascism can reap no encouragement from the defeat of the
man who, prior to last September, was the best known fascist
figure in the nation.
The rise and fall of Fascism in Germany are not difficult
to explain. ' The great fascist poll of last year was in con
siderable measure due to economic discontent. Race hatred
preached by Frick and Hitler appealed to the unhappy and
illiterate peasant masses seeking an outlet, and to 'unpopular
regimes and dynasties seeking a scapegoat. '
i But, like most opportunists and mountebanks, they carried
it a little too far. The people were quick to discover that
their economic ills were a part of a world condition beyond
remedy by the republican government, and that the Hitler
Frick incitements were removing Germany from the list of
nations of high culture.
Hitler and Frick were merely imitating the great Ameri
can demagogue who gets into public office by creating false
issues, stirring up class hatreds, dividing the country against
itself, and making campaign promises he. cannot and does
not intend to fulfill. And like their prototypes in the
U. S. A., they got away with it for a time. " But you
can't fool all the people all the time." , v

An Ounce of Prevention."
SEASONAL UNEMPLOYMENT
An important part of any permanent solution of the great
industrial problem is the prevention of seasonal unemploy
ment which so seriously aggravates periods of depression;'
great gain will have been made when seasonal peaks and
valleys can be evened into a more nearly continuous pro
duction.
This is one of the problems before the committee of the
United States Chamber of Commerce, appointed to consider
this, together with the creation of an industrial reserve, as
the best precaution against depression of major proportions,
. The personnel of this committe commands public confi
dence. Its members are all practicall industrialists and fin
anciers who are just as eager as the jobless to end these re
current lean years, for all lose heavily and many are ruined
in every depression.
President Hoover's early conferences on the unemploy
ment situation, when the nation was confronted with the
present emergency, paved the way for the studies of this
committee. The one is taking up the task where the other
left off, without loss of effort or wasteful back-tracking.
It is significant that the transition has been made without
conflict of opinion.
You don't have to nurse a grouch very carefully to make
it grow.
