By J. R. CAMPBELL ‘Grosser raum’ screeched Hitlér \ J Grosser raum’ echoes Adenauer - LONDON DENAUER is the new Hitler of Germany. He speaks like Hit- ler. He acts like Hitler. He is preparing for war as Hitler did. Immediately after he won the West German election he spoke to a rally of his supporters at Bonn on September 7. His words were Hitler’s words, the words the Fuehrer used to goad on the German people to the slaughter of the Second World War. Adenauer said, as reported in the Rh@inische Post of September 8: : “We shall give our youth what it needs—a greater space (grosser Raum) for its political, economic and cultural development.” This is what Hitler said in Mein Kampf (p. 728, 1933 edi- tion): “Only a sufficiently large space (grosser Raum) on this earth can ensure the independent existence of a people.” Hitler got that grosser Raum for Germany by war, Adenauer intends to do the same. Hitler first launched his war aims by calls to “liberate” the Sudeten Germans in Czechoslo- vakia. “Germany was primarily inter- ested in one thing only,” said Hitler in the Reichstag on April 28, 1939, “and that was to liber- ate the nearly four million Ger- mans in that country.” By September 1939 there was world war. Adenauer said at Bonn: “Let us rather talk about liberation, liberation of our brethren in slavery in the East.” The same Hitler words. same road to war. But there is a difference. These words today are also the words of the United States, of John Foster Dulles. And Adenauer said he would achieve his aim ‘LABOR MUST ANSWER’ The Alfred Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach, heir to the vast Krupp industrial empire and the sinister traditions of the family that has armed Germany for three generations, is shown here with his wife in their luxurious home near Essen. Mrs. Krupp is the former Martha Vera Wilhelmine Knaver of Hollywood, German-born U.S. socialite “with outside help”—that is U.S. help. : The same Ruhr armament makers and industrialists that backed Hitler now back Aden- auer. And for the same ends. But he is also backed by the United States and the British Tories who want to give him con- scription and a West German Army, led by Hitler’s ex-generals and war criminals. Hitler could not strike until he had conscription and a regular army. Nor can Adenauer. Let the people act now in the name ‘of our dead and wounded of the last war. Let them develop a mighty campaign: No army for Aden- auer. The Nazis must not march again. =. Let them compel their gov- Adenauer contemplates war, warns peace leader LONDON A WARNING that West German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer contemplates war is given by J. B. Figgins, vice-president of the British Peace Committee, in an article published here Iast week. Adenauer’s statement that West Germany must aim for the “‘ib- eration” of 18 million East Ger- mans is “‘a declaration of the in- tention to wage war,” says Fig- gins, in the Railway Review, or- gan of the National Union of Railwaymen. : Adenauer, he adds, knows that he cannot wage war without allies and this places great re- sponsibility on the British and French people. “Are the British and the French people prepared to fight and to die for the extension of nation- . alism and authoritarian govern- ment?” asks Figgins. . “The strategy of Adenauer is identical with that of Hitler—to deceive the people of Britain, France and the United States un- til such time as he can, he hopes, transform himself from a stooge into the master, not only of Britain and France, but also of the United States... .” “Tf the present policy of the’ victor states is continued, world war number three is _ inevit- able. . . ” Drawing attention to the release of Nazi war criminals, the infil- ‘ tration of Nazis into important West German Government posts and the demand of General von Manteuffel for 30 German army divisions, Figgins asks: “Will the British and French people again be deceived in the not improbable event of the Am- ericans bringing great pressure for the acceptance of such a pro- posal?” Unless Britain and France change their policy, what Hitler failed to do on the battlefield Adenauer will accomplish by subtlety. Figgins, a former general sec- retary of the National Union of Railwaymen, concludes: “Now let the trade union and Labor leaders give the answer. “Let them mobilize the work- ing classes of Great Britain and France in favor of the only policy which can prevent such a dis- aster—that of a negotiated world peace and the establishment of a world market providing the cer- tainty of permanent peace, free- dom and a very greatly improved standard of life. “Workers, yours is the respon- sibility.” ernments to accept the proposals of Malenkov and the Soviet Un- ion. These are: A German peace conference now. A united, peaceful, demo- cratic Germany which will be part of no war bloc, Atlantic Pact or any other. ; Remember our dead. Stop the revival of German militarism. Halt Germany’s new Hitler now! By PHYLLIS ROSNER HANOVER AR criminal Field-Marshal Kesselring spoke last week in Hanover City Hall at a rally of former members of the Afrika Korps. He expressed his deep ap- preciation at his reception and thanked them for having elect- ed him’as their president only from prison last year. Kesselring was sentenced to death by a British military court in Venice in 1947 for war crimes committed while he was commander-in-chief of Nazi forces in Italy. Among other speakers were Minister of the Interior Dr. Lehr and Panzer General von Cruewel, formerly Rommel’s aide de camp. Cruewel expressed his view that ‘‘the future German sol- dier must base himself upon _ the old principle of fulfilment Of Guty....” The chief of the Bundes Grenzschutz (armed frontier guards) was also present. ° The meeting hall was decor- ated with photographs,. one of which shows the Nazi cavalry _in Paris in June, 1940.

You quote the editorial as stating: ‘The Vancouver City Council, for example, despite the pressure of the two ‘labor’ alder- men, has failed to enact an anti- discrimination ‘bylaw. . . .” The error is in the use of the word “pressure” which was “pre- sence” in our editorial. This, of course places quite a different meaning on the paragraph. It is indeed true that while on occasion, Aldermen Gervin and Showler have made mild state- ments against discrimination, the fact nonetheless remains that they have never carried on any fight in support of the law which organized labor has ong been requesting. As a matter of fact, they have, it appears to me, listened too sympathetically to the opposition by the Board of Trade (from which group they get their sup- port as NPA aldermen). They have beeen playing politics with , the issue, saying “yes” to both business and labor at the same time, while retaining the status quo, exactly what the Board of Trade wants. Discrimination still’ exists in Vancouver in a form which is often cloaked and a bylaw prev- enting public services from be- ing denied to any group or indiv- idual regardless of race or color is a most essential piece of legis- lation. Doukhobors’ viewpoint NICK NEVOKSKONOFF, PETE STRILOIFF, NICK STOOCH- NOFF, Creston Valley, B.C.: There have been a lot of news- Paper articles regarding the Doukhobors, though many true facts were omitted. We do not know to whose advantage or pro- fit was the suggestion secretly directed to the deceiving people in burning down the homes of the people. Those that lost homes through fire lived during these past months in woodsheds, tents, barns or any other shelter they could find, suffering from wind, cold, dampness and rain. Women with small children suf- fered the severest discomfort. It has been known by many that Mr. Herbison and Mr. Gulley suggested people leave Krestova and settle elsewhere, telling some that the government would help pay for the place if they move away. On August 25 those homeless people must have received a messsage in secret to load ‘all their belongings and move to Slocan Valley. In three days they all moved to Perry Siding, spread their tents and settled there.
