Sm—As a paper neutral who has the opportunity' to know what is happening in Shanghai German elr= cles, T wonder why all this" talk about a black list, "At the very bee ilaningof the wat, all Germany were ordered not to. purchase "enemy" Foods or to employ the services of Fenemies" of any kind unless, special permission had been obtained. 'This Special permission was of some value while the Siberian route was open, but it is: practically worthless now. AS a_matter of fact it ig impossible for any German to live in Shanghat at all' without dealing with his me creasing "enemies" directly. or indirectly.
ME. "Sowensy's view of the "Are yan" German community as a solid Nazi whole is quite fallacious, The numerous loud-mouthed "Nazi propagandists sent from Berlin, tried for years to bring old German residents here into Hitler's way of thinking, 'They have not had much success. because many of these old-timers, remembering past experience, do" not believe that, Hitler. has any hope whatever of victory, and. likewise they have no wish' to live in the sort of world Hitler would make if he did succeed in his crazy ad~ ventures, What they do "want " is Treodom: from continual threats of war, and liberty to. live their lives and' carry on' their business Inn Peaceful and. orderly fashion. For the moment they are forced to "tell Hiuer!""in order. to avoid complica tions with the Nazi cheer-loaders Even the most fanatical Nazis of the truculent savage screaming type, have our share of them in hanghai," are. now. beginning." to realize ina dim sort of way' that itis possible. that others" besides themselves may have some trifling rights inthe" world. These brutal Scoundrels "cannot " yet be called human, of course, but maybe by the tithe" they have sgen "what. they read, the execution of the declining Witler, there will be some unity, in Shanghai-German "cireles—on the Nerms of the old-timers!
