Germany’s Strong Man ‘To appreciate the strength of Paul ‘von Hindenburg as president of Ger- many it is necessary to understand that he served as president during the nation’s greatest time of crisis. As no other man could have done, perhaps, he held it together and pre- vented the horrors of civil war and the spread of anarchy. Probably no other man in Germany could have done this, for none other had such a hold upon the minds and hearts of the German people. Adolf Hitler fownd it possible to whip many Germans into a frenzy by demagogic appeals. In a large part of the nation he stirred up a fantastic devotion to himself. But it was as different from their affec- tion for and confidence in von Hin- denburg as attraction for a new toy is different from a child’s love of its mother. For von Hindenburg, dead at 87, was Germany’s best and most distin- guished contribution to the post-war era when, a beaten nation, it began to struggle upward from the crush- ing blows of defeat. This is all the more remarkable because he also was its most distinguished citizen in those bloody days when Germany's armies first were almost uniformly successful, finally were beaten back and forced to surrender. All of us can remember the von Hindenburg line as a vague spot on a war-torn map, but the memory must be stirred if we are to recall that von Hindenburg proved himself Germany's greatest modern military genius. He and General Erich von Ludendortt? eomprised a sort of two- man brain trust which directed Ger- many’s military destinies and all but brought victory to the black eagles of the kaiser’s standard. How close they came to that victory is best in- dicated by a survey of post-war ac- counts by Allied and American com- manders. There were times when it seemed that the balances would swing in favor of the grey-clad armies under Hindenburg’s direction. His activity in the war and the de- votion to his kaiser which Hinden- burg then displayed, make his post- war record all the more remarkable. A loyalist of the first water, it was assumed that Hindenburg’s election to the presidency meant a return of the monarchy. That it did not was due to the great leader's respect for his oath as president. During the war he tried to discharge the duties laid upon him. As president he car- ried through in the same spirit and one of his promises as president was to preserve the republic. That he did not do so in the face of Hitler's Consumption at Home Discussions of farm prices are apt to overlook, at least in part, the value of home markets, How important these are ‘s in- dicated by a Canadian report that all but 15 per cent of the Dominion's agricultural products are consumed at home. In view of the fact that Canada is largely an agricultural country with few great cities, the statistics are surprising. Official data show that 149 per cent of the total production was ex- ported and 85.1 per cent consumed at home. All told, 44 separate items were listed and of these only 11 have more 0) than 25 per cent of the total enter- ing into foreign trade. These prod- ucts are wheat, wheat flour, cheese, apples, concentrated milk, tobacco, rye, flaxseed, wool, maple sugar and clover seed. On the basis of value, the exports listed comprised 30 per cent of the value of the total production and the 11 items mentioned comprised 92 per cent of the exports, 4 The natural inference is that Can- adians eat their own products, either by necessity or in preference to much that might be imported. They have, for example, no oleomargarine fac- tories and importation is impossible because of the tariff. Hence they eat butter. It is only a few years ago that many North Dakota farm- ers were taking their butterfat to town, bringing home margarine to eat as a substitute. The traditional standard of farm life in America includes @ good liv- ing. In normal times, the farmer's table groans beneath a burden of the good things which are readily available. All the milk, cream and butter one can eat, chicken and other fowl and home-cured meats in sum- mer, with fresh meat in winter; home-made jellies and preserves made from native fruits, and plenty of vegetables, either fresh or canned. These are the things rural America has been used to, and lack of them, in some sections, is a real cause for discontent. With production at a low ebb there is little we can do about it now but tighten our belts and pull through as best we can, but everyone instinc- tively sets his sights upon better times and the return of normal liv- ing habits on the farm, if and when things approach normal again, will be an important factor in caring for so- called surpluses. Strange Interlude from the Republican ticket and nomi- nation of his wife to take his place @ strange interlude in the whirl of North Dakota politics. The action was not unexpected but the results cannot easily be foretold. How would a woman cope with the too numerous exigencies of North Dakota politics? Would she be domi- nated by her husband as many sus- pect? Would the North Dakota sit- uation be similar to that in Texas where Mrs. Miriam Ferguson substi- tuted in the executive chair for her huband, like Langer barred from holding office again? Will the people of this state support a woman for the post of chief executive? Some of them come of racial stock which might be expected to oppose it. But at the very least the situation is interesting and fraught with pos- sibilities for future development. It serves to concentrate new attention on North Dakots, already much in the national limelight. It is a little regrettable that the action of the Republican party in the Present situation was not an “orig- inal.” Developments of recent months have established the theory that, in a good many ways, we at least are not beholden to outsiders for ideas, but this development reduces our batting average. In the field of Political exploitation we now yield the role of originator and become rise is hardly his fault. Conditions over which he had no control bat- tered at the citadels of his aged mind and heart and he consented to Hit- ler’s rise in a vain effort to save his beloved country from further tur- moil. That he failed to do so was largely due to his failing health, for a vigorous and active Hindenburg would have kept Der Puehrer in check in @ manner which a sick and from the distresses which he sought to avoid. Undoubtedly this fact was @ tragedy which clouded his last days. There was a time when the rest of the world hated von Hindenburg.
