Nazi Program Is Explained " ' Former German Lawyer . Reveals Most People . ? Backing Ilider ."The people in. Germany are very probably 98 per cent behind Hitler," Paul Weideh, Portland lawyer and a former member of the bar in Frankfort-am-Main, Germany, told members of the Sa lem Kiwanis club at i their noon luncheon Tuesday.'- 1 Almost everybody in Germany remembers what happened to Ger many after the last war," he said, "and no matter what they' think, about Hitler they think it would go- hard with-everybody in Ger many if the country were defeated in the present war." . . Weiden described the economic background of national-socialist Germany in his luncheon-meeting address. The economic theory of the nazis, he said, is !a. variation on the liberal economic theory de veloped in England which has as serted that spending and not sav ing contributes most to a viable economic order." j ;'. This doctrine was accepted by the German economic leaders, Weiden declared, who added to it the ' belief that a forced-labor economy would vastly increase the amount of production in the state, with the result that the state might become far more powerful than any of its neighbors working on orthodox economic lines. The nazi party, in consequence, gradually, with the skillful use of propaganda instituted a forced-labor economy in their country which Britain and France tended to underestimate, Weiden said. He indicated that a conversion of the German economy from a war to a peace-time basis would entail great difficulties, which the nazi party leaders would probably try to avoid.
