The lady to whom the ardent missives were addressed, had only been married nine times, so they could have been no especial treat to her. To, the courtroom audience, they were delightfully funny. But to Mr. Kuhn, any other fate would have been kinder. They deflated him so completely, he told the truth. His romantic friskiness will no doubt leave him unable to look a fountain-pen in the face the rest of his days. Re formers looking around for crime preventatives, have over looked the love letter. If public enemies, notorious and petty, knew for an unescapable cer taintity notes to the girl friend would be read the jury, fclon ous skullduggery would vanish from the land. 0.0 WHY EDITORS AOE FAST (Editor -Publisher) Readeri of th Niagara Palls (Ont.)

England could do no better than strike off a few million of these condensations, and distribute them throughout the world. For it is the most damaging indictment of Hitler and his regime, and at the same time is the most convincing exposition of the Nazi philosophy, that has been published. iyyOREOVER. while such action would bring the pamphlets ATA under the general heading be accurately classified as such for three reasons: The opinions expressed are not those of an allied authority, but a German authority. The German authority. Dr. Rauschning, is not an anti-Nazi, but a former member of Hitler's inner circle. And third, the opinions were all expressed before the out break of the present war. In a word here one has, not propaganda but as far as it is possible to secure, official and authentic information as to the true nature of Hitler's regime, and the real meaning of Nazism. With this explanation we now quote a few of the book's salient passages: "I bad mUundentood the nature of th National Socialist (Nazi) motement when I Joined It. My purpose now U to reveal that this ostensibly national movement la a continuing process ' of revolution, whose subversive course Involves the total destruc tion of all past values of all spiritual standards, utter nihilism. What, Indeed, are the alms of National Socialism? Certainly not the various points of Its stated program. Nazi doctrine Is no more than an Instrument for the control of the masses. The elite, the party leaders, stand above the doctrine. There Is no principle that they have not been ready to proclaim or to abandon at any time. Their only objective have been the victory of the party, supreme power for themselves In the midst of universal revolution, and ultimately a complete, terrorist dominance over the world. THE fight against Christianity, for example, Is not a matter of doctrine; It is simply an effort to destroy one of the deepest roots of western civilization and of the social order. Similarly the fight against Judaism Is embraced largely as an element In the revolutionary unsettling of the nation, of de stroying the economic system based on private enterprise; It Is also a sop to the destructive revolutionism of the masses, a first lesson In cynicism. An open mind and no program at all that Is what has enabled National Socialism to win Us own way. Its strength has lain In Incessant activity and In embarking on anything so long as It kept things moving. National Socialism Is action pure and ample, dynamics in vacuo, revolution at a variable tempo. WITH its Indifference to the things of the spirit, to truth, to morality or honor, National Socialism has no need either of an Intellectual or of a social elite for Its ruling class. The actual selection of Its own gutter elite has been made neither on the basis of Intelligence nor capacity nor noble birth, but simply by dental of the traditional decent citizen's outlook. These members of the ruling minority have the readiness to gamble of desperadoes, who have nothing to lose and everything to gain. VIOLENCE is their doctrine, and force Is applied at all times to maintain their power applied ruthlessly, brutally. Instantaneously. The true elite are entirely without scruples and without humanitarian weaknesses. They believe that where ' the use of force Is hampered by scruples, the elite become de cadent. Thua it is virtually a duty for every member of the elite to undergo training In brutality. The lack of morals In civil life is not frowned on. National Socialism demands, indeed, that all personal moral scruples shall be overridden by the needs of the party. It Is Impossible to demand scrupulous correctness In a member's private lite when any crime may be required of him In the Interest of the move ment. The fundamental tactics of National Socialism are to strike fear by deliberate violence, and by making a ahow of readiness to go to any length even where the same purpose could be achieved by milder means. Hostility to ethical conceptions, to justice to the Intellect, to Individualism and personality to science and art all the things that arouse the Indignation of the ordinary citizen In Gcrmnny and abroad are but the logical outcome of the Nazi doctrine of violence. And the Nazis' resort to the worst of human motives to the extreme of brutality, to hatred, to vengeance, to envy, to licentiousness, to robbery, to lying on principle has set In motion a ruin of the Oerman national character on a scale hitherto unimaginable. THE actual goal of German Nazism Is simply action, whether conceived as a German social revolution or as a world revolution or, finally, as tho "eternal war" which many men In high places In the movement consider to be the future condition of human society. That war. however, has no other purpose than to destroy all traditional order. In Ita limitless "dynamism," the nihilist revolution of National Socialism sets out to destroy everything That It cannot convert to Its own pattern. IU destructtveness will spare nothing neither the Institutions of property nor the elements of culture. Its work of revolutionary demolition will Inevitably bring about the complete abolition of private enterprise, and the reduction of the workers to a serfdom which will not bo listened either by motorcars for the masses or by "Strength through Joy." The new social order will consist of universal and equal servitude, a general, pennanent mobiliza tion. There will be a progressive destruction of the middle class amid an all-pervading atmosphere of barracks and prison. National Socialism is bound to end freedom of Initiative, and all .hat In tho past has mndo for creative activity and progress; these things make its dominion Incomplete. Nothing Is more i Intolerable to It than originality, Individuality, character, or I true pubic spirit. Whatever it cannot dominate It must destroy. Nalonal Socialism's destructlvenesa Is nowhere more Impres sive than in family life. In sowing dissension within the family, In alienating the youn from the old. It Is trampling on the last vestiges of traditional moral training. And Hits is written by a German of high standing and integrity, a former member of the Nazi party, and it Is a Judgment formed BEFORE the present war started! FINALLY, the author comes to the same conclusion Prime Minister Chnmbcrlnin reached after much wandering. We again quote: "Tlie only chance to re-eslabllh peace In the world lies In the removal of the National Socialist (Hitler Naztsmt regime." And this is the considered Judgment of a prominent German statesman, who a year before it happened (in the same book) pre dicted Hitler's march into Poland and his alliance with Soviet Russia) Communications Sierilitailon It Favored. To the Editor: The London bobby carries no gun. Yet Britain's murder rate Is but a fraction of ours whose police go heavily armed. There is possibly a eunen leal reason for this. Scientists now assert perhaps nearly one half our crime has a base in inheritance. England, over many decades, eliminated her criminal strains by hanging of fenders. Italian scientists have done much research upon the inheritance of criminal tend encles. Dr. Monnclic.il reminds us: "When In 1871 Lombroso found In the cranium of the notorious bandit Villellii an or cipital depression usually found of "propaganda" they could not in the anthropoid apes in place of the occipital crest found in man, much that is now known as criminal anthropology and biology was born." This discovery, made over 60 years ago, dominates all the more important efforts of the present day Italian criminologists to ward the understanding of erim tnal behavior. If this be true, can we per haps reduce our crushing taNes for crime by awakening wider public Interest in the steriliz ation of criminals? Germany has hundreds of eugenic courts, cautiously, scientifically trying her social Inadequates as to their right to become parents. Eight other northwestern Eu ropean nations have similar laws E.

Address Dr. William Brady, 26S El Cam I no, Beverly Hills, Calif. THREE FOURTHS OF From an extensive survey of illness thruout the country some years ago the U. S. public health service bureau concluded that respiratory infections account for three-fourths of the illness doctors treat. Bad "colds" as they are called by people of the lowest in tclligence. 'Cri' (kree) as I and a slowly in creasing num ber of others believe they should be called until the course of the illness per mits a specific diagnosis to be made. What proportion of these com mon respiratory infections that keep the doctors busy if not prosperous for doctor business, unlike other lines, goes up when income goes down or ceases al together is due to pneumococ cus infection we can only esti mate. My guess is that we may blame the ubiquitous pneumo coccus for half of it. If you saw the article here the other day about the little hoy who had acute earache, then dizziness, with fever, and pain in the neck when he tried to raise his head, you know how the pneumococ cus may gain a foothold in the form of a slight sore throat, or so-called "head cold," then find its way thru the Eustachian tube into the middle ear where it causes inflammation and pus formation and thence invade the meninges (brain-covering mem branes) and cause meningitis. So you never know in the early stages just what an alleged "simple cold" may turn out to be. Remember that when you consider how readily the cri spreads via conversational spray. for instance, as well as open face sneezing or coughing. Pneumococcus infection is re sponsible for ever so many sore throats, with tonsillitis, and for many cases of quinsy (abscess around the tonsil) too. Of course it is the common cause of pneu monia. In a considerable share of cases it is the main offense in acute bronchitis, and In not a few cases of acute pleurisy and empyema (abscess or pus formation in pleural sac around the lung). It is an everyday cause of acute otitis media or inflammation of the middle ear, acute mastoiditis or inflamma tion of the air-space linings in the bone back of the ear, and in some such cases the infection finds its way into the brain cov The Capital Parade By Joseph Alsop and Robert Kintner Released by Tho North American Newspaper Alliance. Ino Washington, Nov. 24. The grand political puzzle of the moment Is the nature of the re lationship between Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Paul Vorics McNutt and James Aloysius Farley. In the past fortnight, the McNutt bandwagon has been started rumbling down the road. As yet, there's no one much aboard except stooges and ef figies, but the McNuttites out spokenly assert that the presi dent himself will ultimately ac cept a seat next to the driver. In that case, he has bamboozled Jim Farley to a fare-thee well. The assertion Is principally founded on tho fact that the new denlers, through whom the pres ident has often expressed his political will, are letting it ap pear that they favor Indiana's peculinr pride. This appearance should deceive no one but the McNuttites, for it Is pure sham. The new dealers' real Inten tion is only to build up McNutt to a point where he will counter-balance their ancient enemy. Farley. They arc ardent third term advocates, and they hope for a day when Farley will be forced to go to the president and say, "Boss, between McNutt and the third term, I'll take the third term any day. Let's get going setting up the convention." Tins subtle scheme omits two im portant considerations. The first Is the Roosevelt-Farley peace talk at Hyde Park lwt summer, during winch It appears vtrtusilv eertsln thst the pref-'flcnt SMured Frtrlry he did not oant a t!i:r,l term and Mild not take McNutt as hit tucvestor. Brady, M D. THE DOCTOR BUSINESS ering membranes and causes meningitis. It begins nearly al ways as an apparently sore throat or acute rhinitis or head catarrh. In that stage few indi viduals give any serions con sideration to precautions against spreading the infection, even if they realize vaguely that they are coming down with some thing probably communicable. They realize that only if they call it cri; not if they call it "cold". Cri means "common res piratory infection." Cri is an honest term; "cold" is a vicious term. Take your choice this is a free country. I do wish I knew of some good remedy which would help to prevent cri something more or less fool-proof. Several reme dies commonly used either as preventives or by way of first air treatment are in my judg ment not advisable. I need not mention them now. But there is one I mention and recommend for the purpose in tomorrow's article. QUESTIONS AND ANKWKKS Raw Apple for Grutro-Enterltls I am almost ashamed to take the money, but I have a bet of five dol lars which you must settle. My poor misguided friend Is sure you recom mend a diet of raw apple for Infants with acute diarrheal He was so cer tain that he offered to bet five dol lars.

Note: Persons wishing to communicate with Dr. Brady should send letter direct to Dr. William Brady, M. D 2 A3 El Camlno. Bev?rly Hills, Calif. The second Is Parley's collection ot delegates. After a feeble attempt to make John J. Bennett, state at torney general, his delegate-collector In New Tork, McNutt nobly re nounced the state m Farley's favor. He might well do so. for Farley, through Ed Kelly, the Brooklyn lead er, la In a position to prevent Bennett himself from being a delegate. The New England states. Pennsyl vania. New Jersey, Maryland and Delaware all these are also reported to be in Farley'a capacious pocket, unless the president choose to run again. Most of the south belongs either to Parleys ally. John N. Oar ner, or to favorite sons friendly to Farley. Because McNutt double crossed him at the 1932 convention, Farley has sworn an undying enmity against him. Vice President darner's feeling to ward the lndlanan are more obscure of orlKln. but they are equally strong. The McNuttites bosst of their strat egy of making their man the second choice of many delegations. From the Parley camp, as from the Garner, comes the answer, "Who said there waa going to be a second choice?" Despite McNuttites' hints to the contrary, nothing has been done to conciliate John L. Lewis and the C. I. O., who well remember how McNutt earned the title of the "Hoosler Hitler" In the famous Terre Haute strike. Farley. Gsrner and John Lewis make an Impressive line up to overcome. Even with the aid of the president. It la hard to see how McNutt can do It. UnlPM Jim Farley thoroughly mis understand a his boss, the president's aid will not be forthcoming. Which leaves the main puzzle: Is the presi dent really countenancing tlw Mc Nutt bill Id -tip because he wants a third term, has he tome deeper purpose, such as the Imposition of another candidate of hta own. or la he Just amusing himself? The word has gone out from the White Home, so the report Is, to let McNutt ha"- his head for the present . Between this report, the president's disclaimers of desire for a third term, the plans of the new dealrra and the president's relations with Parley, the pule seems almost insoluble. Meanwhile, there la a leaser putzle: How much real strength does Mc Nutt have, behind the scenery and false whiskers? Just what sound commitment-, may have been ob tained by the rotund McNuttlte manager, Fran Mcllale. only Mi Hale and McNutt know. They are claiming the world. M.-Vutt doe have certain llr-eml .-mp',,I''... rMi.-h a the a , .rrm gocd, will of Lowell Meliett, a ne deal presidential adviser who may not be going along with hta friend. He has also made a good impression on certain big business groups, dur ing quiet little lunches at Wall street's downtown elub and else where. But the liberal connections have borne no fruit aa yet, and there la a dlsttnct chance that the good Impression on big business may begin to fade. For example, Wendell L. Wlllkie, an old Indiana university classmate of McNutt's and probably the most Influential business man In the country, has been loudly claimed by the McNuttites. Vet. when McNutt's flying squadron of Indiana educators was in the east, Winkle warned i large Indiana society dinner against political perversion of his alma mater and spoke his warning in such grim terms that most of his hearers Inferred his opinion of McNutt was very low Indeed. Before climbing aboard McNutt's bandwagon, politi cians will do well to investigate the McNutt assertions as well as the McNutt record.
