THE HALL IN WHICH HE
SPEAKS, causing GocrinK and
his hearers to scuttle for the

TT Is a dramatic Incident. Per-
x haps one of the most drama
tie In the history of tho world.
It has ovon Its humorous
aspects.
But don't laugh.
The quality of the humor In
volvcd is too GRIM.
flOERING'S spcoch Is starkly
revealing. It strips tho mask
from tho recent puzzling turn In
German propaganda. Before our
very ryes. It take tho nazl clock
part and shows us how It ticks.
PICTURE this man Goering In
vnur mind for what he
REALLY IS at this moment.
H In wholesale murderer
with the blood of millions drip
ping from his hands, ho is naica
by avary "living beingln the
world outsldo tho circle of hla
own blood stained intimates.
For him and his crew, IF
THEY LOSE, there can be no
mercy ANYWHERE ON EARTH.
From EVERYWHERE outside
tho bordors of original Germany
he hears the muttored thunder
nt l-lalnff rlffhteOlM Wroth.
Insldo Gormony, he
senses growing suspicion. .
t tic and his bondlt crew can be
saved only by a German vic
tory.. There can bo no German
victory If the German people
rrnnlr n tlll-V did In 1818.
So, with fcor gnawing at his
vitals, ho tells them tin ciiocu:
"You're rats in a corner.
Everybody hates you. If you
lose, you'll be slaughtered or en
slaved. You've .t to FIGHT
ORDIEI'V
HARPING on this string, he
paints Russia as a diabolical
ly clover ogre, scheming from
the , beginning to crush Ger
many. Ho says tho Russian war
on Finland was just clover cam
ouflage designed to trap Ger
many Into the bollcf that Russia
was silly and wcok shouts that
Russia fought tho Finns with ob
solete arms Just to glvo that Idea.
Then ho odds:
"But whllo the Russians wore
fighting the Finns with obsolete
arms (to fool tho Germans) they
had spent tho lost decade and a
half building up the most power
ful armnmcnte WHICH HAD
EVER BEEN MADE BY ANY
NATION."
. , .
AT, this point a thought occurs
to him, Maybe, in his hear
ers' minds will arise this ques
tion: ' ... V
"Is this follow Hitler a god
after all? If ho was so easily
trapped by the scheming Rus
sians, perhaps' ho Isn't very
smart.-- Maybe we'd bolter GET
RID OF HIM." . i , ';.'
So Goerlng adds: ,
'. "But the strength of Russia
was KNOWN. -The fuehrer's IN
TUITION, warned him that we
must attack all tho same,"
And so on.
TJE dares not, you see, permit
any doubt of Hitler to arise
In the German mind. For Goer
lng and Hitler aro in the same
boat. It Hitler goes down,
GOERING will go down. ,. ";
