IWH No. 8 .HITLER TAKES OVER The' base on which rests the whole unholy triangle,of (lidaUn'ships is getting ready to blaze into action. That is the Only reasonable construction which can be placed upon llillei's recent .'leizure of complete control in Germany. For -omc iime now two forces have succeeded in keeping him Joniiriratively quiet, firstly, the international bankers repre*- minted bySchacht, who realize that war must, regardless of wilt) wins, destroy,the whole financial {Structure together with .. iyilixiitioib and the German army headed by Von Hlomberg, who 'IS a result of the failure of the tank and aeroplane to live in It) i'.\pectations in the Spanish War, consider their forces . •. not yet ready, to fight. Hitler recently rid himself of cif.ivii'hl and now he has. assumed the control of the army ' vested in Von Blomberg. , - ̂ ' As we have stated in .a number of previous editorials, a flidatoi' must produce results in order to. remain in power, lest* his people turn and rend him, and he must do it in a mw'ftanilar mdnner to satisfy those races who will willingly submit to that form of government. Hence all the emblazoned </ooso-stepping and. the succession of coups which have kept the workl in a turmoil of fear ever-.since Hitler and jviussolini. rose to power. , ■ - ' " '1 , ^ In .spit" huge jockeying movement, .of which w e, û vc S])0ken before as having'been instituted by Italy in iViirope. and Africd, and Japan in Asia:, things have not gone I along as smoothly as expected.i Ethiopia is still far from • oomiuered, while Franco after a year and a half's fighting is faced with a stalemate now and certain, defeat later unless large forces are sent to him from Italy and Germany. Japan is fast bleeding to, death and the big fight yet to come. She has, it is true, seiCured control of a large slice of the richest part of China, but realizes she can hardly expect to keep it, for which reasofi she proposed a peace with China, which the leaders of that country were far tpo -wise do even consider.
