The attorney general says the

Considering how many millions of

HITLER'S FIRST YEAR
It was exactly a year ago today
that the National Socialists, headed
by Chancellor Adolf Hitler, j.cored
their overwhelming victory in the
rcichstag election that really estab
lished the present, German regime.
Although Heir Hitler had been ap
pointed chancellor of Germany at the
cud cf January, last year, with quasi
dictatorial powers, the appointment
came from President Paul von Hin
denburg and was hedged about with
such restrictions that in theory, at
least, the Nazis shared their control
with the conservative Nationalists,
new cabinet. The election of March
who held many key positions in the
5 not only ilimir.ated all Nationalist
restrictions upon Chancellor Hitler
and his Nazis, but even removed any
presidential check by showing that
the appointed regime commanded
popular support.
In the election the Nazis polled
more than 17 million votes, compared
to about 3 million by their Nation
alist allies, out of a total of 3D mil
lion. Thereafter, the unequal part
nership was soon dissolved. Chan
cellor Hitler emerged as absolute dic
tator of Germany, and the elderly
president ,who had been very active
in the government until that time,
letired from the political arena al
most altogether. Now a year later
several mysteries still surround the
creation of the- Hitler dictatorship,
not the least of these being why the
Nationalists ever thought they could
dominate the new regime, as they did.
Responsibility for the burning of the
rcichstag building in Berlin on the
night of February 28, of course, has
never be?n fixed, although the gov
ernment's assertion that the fire was
part of a Communist conspiracy to
3cize the state played an important
part in the election.
The fact remains that the Nazi re
jime dates from March 5, 1933. Com-
I'Ctent foreign observers are inclined
divide the"" year that has elapsed
since then into two fairly equal
parts. The first six months or so
was a period cf great violence. The
prosecution of the Jews and Commun
ists at that time aroused internation
al indignation; But other groups, in
cluding Socialises and .liberals, re
ceived similar. treatment. In fact, all
organized - opposition was ruthlessly
crushed. .In the-'". early fall, however,
a Jialt was called to the uis of vio
lent methods a.., sirce then the gov
rnnicnt seems to have proceeded with
'greater inotleiatirrn1, although all op
position, real or imaginary, is still
'ttrnly suppress d. ' . -
In the last six months the more
lonctrvativo elements among the
Nazi.? have seemed to be in control,
with the Socialist program of the rad
ical wing held in check. There also
has been the development of a more
realistic; and conciliatory forign pol
icy. Democracy lias been crushed in
Germany, but capitalism remains,
not greatly changed. Opinions dif
fer as to the gains and losses involv
ed in the Naztxperiment.
Cut there
is general agreement that
the Hit
ler dictatorship Las corns to stay and
that, as in the c ase of the Commun
ist regime in Russia, the world must
be prepared to accept that fact.

AMERICAN EXPORTS
In -his message lo
congress last
week, President Roosevelt
aid that
'important branches of our agricul
ture," as well as "those branches oi
American industry whose mass-pro
duction" metrcds have led the
world," stand to gain greatly through
a revival of our lost foreign trade.
In the first group he mentioned spec
ideally cotton, tobacco, Iiog products,
rice, cereals and fruits. Producers
of tlicm all, found profitable markets
abroad for their surplus goods before
the depression, iln 1929 the United
States exported 54 per cent of its
cotton, 41 per Vent of its tobacco,
33 per cent of its lard, 25 per cent
of its rice, IS per cent of its wheat
and 17 per cent of its pears. From
one-sixth to more than half of each
of these crops was sold in foreign
markets.
The President singled out no in
dustrial nrodiir-ts for special men
tion, but might easily have chosen
from a long list examples to support
his thesis. In the same pre-depres-
sion year we shipped abroad 31 per
cent of the lubricating oil produced
in the United States, 34 per cent of
the kerosene, 23 per cent of the agri
cultural machinery, 29 per cent of
the sewing machines, 21 per cent of
the locomotives and 40 per cent of
the typewriters.
How manv men and women en
gaged in the production of industrial
goods and agricultural products were
directly dependent on foreign trade
for their livelihood we know on the
authority of a Republican statesman
whose eight years of service In the
dspartment of commerce particularly
qualified him to make an accurate es
timate. In 192S Herbert Koovor, then
a candidate for president, stated that
"our total volume of exports trans
lates Itself Into employment for 2,
400,000 families." The collapse of
this once thriving trade has been fol
lowed by what President Roosevelt
described In his message as "heart
breaking readjustments." New York
Times. "

EGYPTIANS REBUILT FACES
Spokane, Wash. The art of re
building faces and patching up torn
ears and noses was practiced when
the Pharaohs ruled Egypt and the py
ramids were only engineers' dreams,
Dr. Gordon B. New, specialist of the
Mayo foundation, told the regional
n etting of the American College of
Surgeons. Since ancient times, how
ever, facial surgery has made re
markable advance, said the Roch
ester, Minn., specialist.
The ancient Egyptian surgeon was
aware of the possibilities of facal re
construction and found patients
among the warriors disfigured by
er. Tiy spears and youths badly hand
led in sports of the day. Dr. New
said, but only in recnt years has
this type of surgery reached the
point where almost any disfigure
ment can ba obliterated.
