Col. Ernst Roehm, and Ernst Thaelmann, chairman of the Communist Party, by grace of the International Executive Committee in Moscow, form a strange alliance in German politics. Their one thing in common is uncompromising hostility to ven Hindenberg’s emergency decrees, One general criticism of the “Na- zis” is that their movement re- volves around Hitler and would stand or fall with him. But Roehm, as leader of the “storm troops,” 1is second only to the meteoric Aus- trian. As a disciplined military man Roehm takes orders from his chief, but he often advises him in a man- ner anything but subordinate. | The commander of the militant wing of the Fasclsts was chief mili- | tary organizer of the 1923 “beer) cellar putsch” when Hitler and General Erich Ludendorff planned to march upon Berlin as Mussolini marched on Rome. After that Roehm went to Bolivia and ornn—l % ized an army there on Prussian lines. He came back to Germany on the invitation of Hitler when the September, 1830, elections witnessed the boosting of the Fascist cause. Not Playing Soldier “I don't approve of the idea of playing at being soldiers,” he ex- plained. “What we are trying to do is teach German youth the dis- cipline and obedience which we had in the good old days of the imperial army.

With less than half of the returns still out, the Conser- vatives have 308 of 615 seats in the House of Commons. It is freely predicted the Conservatives will have more than 400 seats when all votes have been counted, the larg- est majority since 1832 when the Liberals had 370 seats. MacDonald, Churchill, Lloyd George, and his daughter, and Lady Astor are all safely elected. The top heavy Conserva- tive margin is highly signi- ficant and is as senational as any other aspect of the election.
