He Meant What He Said congress. The incoming legis lators are registering a heavy majority in private conversation for any reasonable aid to Brit ain. Even such hard and fast nationalists as Representative Ham Fish are undergoing an ad vance of pro-British sympathy. You can bet they will endorse anything Mr. Roosevelt proposes unless it involves a belligerent act. That means a proposal to have THE eighth anniversary of Hitler's assumption of power in Berlin is Jan. 23. This is not exactly a holiday for otner countries, regardless or how the Germans may feel bout it, but in view of what has happened since, it can scarcely De ignored. io other single event of the decade has cost the world so much. When Hitler assumed the German chancellorship, few read the Significance Of the day. So astute an analvst as American battleshiris act In enn. H. V.

Many others, no less well-informed, felt the same way. This was to be just another phase in the disorderly history of post-war Germany. It was, unfortunately, six years before Europe began to take Adolf Hitler seriously. The world did not take him seriously when he said to a mass meeting shortly oiuci uecuming cnanceiior. "We want a break with what racy has produced and realize that all that is great can be produced only by the strength of individual personality uu mat, an insi is to De preserved must be entrusted again to ability and individual personality, while the parliamentary-democratic system must be fought." , The average reader shrugged and added mentally, in Germany."

The president is care fully feeling the firmness of the ground now in advance of each step he takes. There are not likely to be any sudden sur prises broken upon either con gress or the country. The president's new technique seems to be primarily to follow the edge of going Communist anyway. So we all turned to our own domestic troubles, which were plenty. Had Hitler confined himself to abolishing parliamen tarian government within Germany, nobody would have cared much, except those Germans who still loved liberty (and there were some). But next came the effort to ex tend the Hitlenan sway to Germans outside Germany; later the effort to extend it to Czechs, Poles, Norwegians, Dutch, Belgians, French and Danes. Thus the smallness, once again, of our complex world. uudvuid biiu tamer riaicuious-appeanng politician comes to power in Germany in 1933, and at the end of 1940 nine nations grovel in the dust of conquest and a coral atoll in the far South Seas is shelled by a passing raider. So far echo the repercussions of that Jan. 23, 1933. Now at last we learn that when Hitler said, just after becoming chancellor, "the parliamentary-democratic sys tem must be fought," he meant just that. m this British aid matter, he may have encouraged some out- SELF-IMPROVEMENT Judge of thine improvement, not by what thou speakest or writest, but by the firmness of thy mind, and the government of thy passions and affections.
