HASKELL. BERLIN (Special) ow does it feel to live in a revolution?” a woman repeated. “It feels as if I were always having a permanent wave." Noticing the puzzled look on the face of the masculine questioner, she ex plained ‘When you have a permanent. your hair is twisted on a lot of wires and sticks out_all over your head. That's they way I feel. My hair is perpetually standing up.” An English business man expressed the same feeling in a different way. “I feel constantly suifocated.” he said. “I'm glad to get home to London occa- sionally so I can find plenty of air.” In America we look on the new regime in Germany as simply a change in gov- ernment. When we hear it referred to as a revolution, the word does not regis- ter. We first began to pay attention to the Nazis in 1930 when they gained a surprising number of seats in the Reichstag election. Then we discovered that there was a strong Nationalist So- cialist German Workers party, known by the initials of the German words as the N. S. D. A. P, or with the first word of the name abbreviated to Nazi (pronounced “Natzee”). Beaten Badly in 1932. Then there were kaleidoscopic changes. obstructions to legislation in the Reichstag and government by presi- dential decree under an emergency clause in the Weimer constitution of the German Republic. The Catholic Centrist_chancellor, Heinrich Bruening. apparently was in full control with the complete backing of President von Hin- | denburg By 1932 we began hearing of an Aus- who had gone to Germany as a young man before the war, and had emerged as the leader of the Nazis. He was reputed to be a firebrand, an eloquent speaker, but with no ability in practical affairs. He had the temerity to run for President against Hindenburg in 1932 and was beaten by 6.000.000 votes. Momentous events followed in quick succession. Bruening lost the Presi- | dent's confidence and was supplanted | by Von Papen and the “cabinet of barons.” which, in turn, gave way to the chancellorship of Von Schleicher, the reputed brains and strong man of the group. These were mere changes in government and things went on in Germany about as before. | out, | affair: But suddenly Von Schleicher faded to be replaced by Hitler to the amazement of all observers of German who had heard of Hindenburg's contempt for him and who had sup- pesed his power to be waning as the result of several unsuccessful elections. It was assumed et first that Hitler was simply to be used by the Conserva- tive group headed by Von Papen as vice chancellor, which surrounded him in the cabinet. Never was there a more mistaken assumption After a brief struggle the Conservatives were thrown out on their necks. The opposition in the Reichstag was suppressed by force. The purged body granted the chancel- lor dictatorial powers for four years and adjourned. Emerged Supreme. Hiitler emerged as supreme. the auto- crat of Germany. Parliamentary gov- ernment was gone. The German re- public established by the revolution at the end of the war had vanished into thin air. The country found itself in a revolution as thorough-going as the Soviet revolution in Russia. Hitler be- came the Stalin of Germany. At first it was assumed in Germany— as it still is widelv assumed in America —that nothing particular had hap- pened. It was supposed to be “just another government.” True, the Nazi party had a wild program that had been adopted back in 1920. The intel- ligentsia dug it up and read it with amused interest.

A woman asked that her radio be taken out. “Why?” inquired the officlal who called to see about it. “I don’t care about heaflng all that rubbish (propaganda),” she replied, and was sent to jail for two months.
