(Philadelphia Record) The crop of World War autobiographies made This war should produce; five or ‘ten years from now, an even more fascinating lot. We put in an advance plug for that of Fritz Thyssen, “the man who financed Hitler.” Thyssen is—or was—the most important figure in the German steel industry. He began backing Hitler in 1928 as the man who could save big busi- ness from the “Red menace.” Hitler, with his queer hodge-podge of political doctrine, seemed to be going places. On the other hand, it is doubtful if Thyssen ever seriously considered whether such a demagogue could really become powerful enough to challenge German big business itself. It is a long-established European custom for leading figures in the business and financial world to have political puppets. Thyssen probably thought he could support Hitler and destroy Hitler at any time by withdrawing the support. Thyssen is now in Switzerland—playing no part in the defense of his country. He is not, officially, a fugitive. On the other hand, it may be doubted that he went to Switzerland at this time in order to look at the scenery. Herman Goering is running the German steel business—and Herr Thyssen's services can be dis- pensed with. Hitler doesnit depend on contribu- tions i{rom the Thyssens any more. He doesn't have Confiscation, party graft have proved simpler methods of financing his movement since the Nazis have controlled the Reich What does Fritz Thyssen think about in Switzer- land? We hope he sets it down on paper. It might be a lesson to others who would like to raise up “strong men.” What Doe to. Adolf Hitler is said to be planning a new Euro- pean commonwealth.
