On the balance of the account Hitler says his Germany is much stronger today than it was in 1914. Nevertheless tl.ere must be a great many Germang to whom the paraiiel with 1914 can only bring up the most somber thoughts, not to say fear and actual panic. Hitler's assurance that Germany today' is stronger than in 1914 "is, after”all;’ Hitler's opinion, Hitler's confidence in his own ability to break through the iron ring which he thinks is being forged around him by the ancient enemy, England, is something that remaing to be proved. But it is hot opinion that 1914 | brought on _the German people defeat and national idisaster. The painful question which is bound to | stare the German people in the face voday is whether it is to 'be 1914 all'over agdint; not'only the “encir¢le- Iment” and’ the “enemy provocation” which Hitler stresses but the 1914 outtome which he refuses to contemplate. { | Represented nationally. by the Fénger-Hall Co.

This is so charming an' idea ‘that ‘we’ hate to mention that there are two catches in it: Onée; that | the letters must be in pink envelopes for ready iden- tification; second, that the Government reserves the right to open these len,ers and 'redd’ thetn. Bureatcracy, however, is bureaucracy, whether in'| | Venezuefa or the U. S, A.

Another provision of the law states that a worker who is receiv- ing benefits must at all times be able and available for work.

Benefit Based on Earnings The actual amount of the benefit check is based on the individual’s earnings in “‘covered ‘employment” during his “base period,” the maxi- mum amount being $16 for a dura- tion of 16 weeks, or $256 in any one year. ‘The fund on which these checks are drawn is called the Territorial Benefit Account.
