As an Indian Sees

To the Editor of the "NortH-CHwa Dany News"

Sikt—I am reminded most often of Hitler's own words: "I am feeling more fresh than ever now, for spring is coming." Why? Because his flat-torers say that he adores Nature. As he was feeling more fresh, he made elaborate plans about the much-boasted spring offensive to dominate the whole world, and indeed did annex some more territory which, though apparently and militarily appears to be a gain, will yet prove to be a liability and not an asset in the Jong run.

His party admirers call him "a man more tremendous than fate," but Hitler—self-made superhuman, nevertheless a mortal being—cannot escape the old saying: "Man proposes and God disposes."

During this spring, Nature has worked her own way miraculously in the political field of Nazism. The seed of disunity among the Nazi Party sown deep and invisibly, manured by the untrustworthy and revengeful spirit of the most vulpine creature—Hitler—and watered with the blood of thousands of innocent victims of Himmler's suspicions, has sprung into being. Putting it into plain words it is the escape of Nazi No. 3 to England which has become known in every nook and corner of the world, The Nazi party may try to state that he has gone insane but it shows a definite rift in Hitler's gangster circle.

In time, as the summer advances, this small plant will shoot out into a beautiful stem and then into a big trunk with innumerable branches. On every branch there will grow clusters of shady leaves, Finally it will bloom and bear fruit. Himmler will try cruelly and pitilessly to mow down the tender stem to prevent it from growing into a powerful trunk. The heavy bird—Goering—will sit and swing on the delicate branches so as to break them. Goebbels will try to pluck the leaves and flowers. Finally, the long-beaked Hitler will do his utmost, to cut the fruits before they ripen so as to prevent the reproduce tion and growth of more seeds, But Nature, I am confident, will have her own way. The seeds will grow thick and fast not only in Germany, but also in other parts of the Axis, and in the long run Hitler and his a complices will come to know by personal experience that it is not the "sword" that rules after al!.

On the other hand, talking of the Nazi statements about the hallucinations of Herr Hess, our duty is not to go into details about the definition, etiology, pathology, symptoms and diagnoses of the disease from which he is supposed to be suffering. The only thing we are concerned with, if one believes he is a maniac at all, is to remove the cause of irritability, so that prognosis mav not be prove. That cause is without doubt Hitler hithself. We should redouble our efforts to do away with this cause, lest the 80,000,- 000 "master race" who may yet be in the vretiminary. stages of mania, should all turn insane, Mav God forbid: if that havens they will fill all the lunatic asylums in existence.
