LONDON, May 18 (N.AN.A, By Radio)—When in 1933 I predicted ’Pied Piper' for D c —and feared—a compact between Adolf Hitler, who had just been en- throned by short-sighted Junkers and industrialists, and Joseph Stalin, T was laughed at by everybody. Yet my arguments were sound: Two gang leaders can always agree upon a merger sc long as there are suckers plundered in common, with a tacit -— around who can be blackmailed or understanding between the gang- sters to shoot it out between them- selves afterward. That is exactly what has hap- pened. There is-no love lost between Stalin and Hitler, who for years has slandered the Russian dictator #s a plague on humanity, but they fust give each other enough back- tng to bring home their harvest. The mutual esteem between Hit- Jer and Mussolini, who considers the German Fuehrer as a crude plagiarist of his own Rome-bred Machiavellianism, is of the same brand. ‘With Spain and Japan, both of which had their roles as levers to pull down the democratic powers assigned in Hitler's megalomaniac schemes for world domination, the Nazi leader seems to have failed. Divulged in 1934. ‘With these provisos, however, and the alterations exacted by his compromise with Moscow, the mechanized Aftila has clung faith- fully to the Hitler-Rosenberg plan of conquest confidentially an- nounced to the initiated in 1934 and | first divulged by the French author E. Henri. Henri was then sneered at, as I was the year before with my “Bolshie” scare. I have seen the map of it. It is breath-taking to witness how faith- fully and consistently the scheme has been put into practice. The Hitler-Rosenberg “dream Germany” ‘was composed of a west central German Reich with appended “sections or dominions,” “protecto- rates,” and a “federation.” The central Reich was to include all the Germanic areas of the West, two- thirds of Switzerland, Alsace-Lor- raine, Luxembourg, Hoiland, the| Flemish parts of Belgium and north- ern France. Austria, Czecho-Slovakia and Hungary were to form a “south | Germanic section,” entirely disre- | garding racial gospel and thus prob- ably receiving the fate of serfs.| Yugoslavia, Rumania and Bulgaria ‘were to form “Balkan protectorates.” | Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Fin- | land were to be a “north Germanic | federation,” obviously a sort of | enfeoffed area under Nazi sovereign- ty or suzerainty. First Leak in Scandinavia. | In Scandinavia is seen the first | leak so far in Hitler's pursuit of that ambitious dream elaborated. by the Balt, Alfred Rosenberg. In- deed, the Russian-born and fanati- cally anti-Bolshevik pope of national Socialism* wept bloody tears:' over the compromise with his ‘“arch- enemy,” engineered by his personal antagonist and more lucky rival, Foreign Minister Von Ribbentrop. For not only had Finland to be | left out of Germany’s mapped-out conquests, but Rosenberg's own homelands, the Baltic states, Lith- uania, Latvia and Estonia, claimed as Germany's “Baltic dominion,” had to be handed over as Moscow’s sphere of influence. Worst of all —if with mental reservation—the planned “Ukrainian dominion” had | to be abandoned—for the time be- | ing. This latter dominion, reaching as far as the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov, as large as Germany proper and with some 45,000,000 inhabitants, had been meant as the future granary of greater Ger- many, and, if nothing else, its mapped-out confines ought to have opened Poland’s eyes in time. For in order to connect that dominion with the Reich, the Ukrainian parts of Poland, from the Carpathian Mountains to the swamps of Pripet, were cut off in the Hitler-Rosen- berg map. . Plan Still Stands. ‘With the exclusion of these con- eessions to Soviet Russia—the high price paid for the surprise Soviet- German pact of August 26, 1939— the plan still stands, and so does even the secret time table appended to it. Hints as to this time table ‘were obtained when, during the “re- volt” of the Sudeten Germans in 1938—a ruthlessly and cleverly en- gineered part of the “fifth column” campaign that was the mainstay of the Nazi system long before the Nazis started conquering other coun- tries than Germany—variations of the “map of conquest” were found. These variations were somewhat cruder and even more ambitious, leaving finally around 1945 nothing | of Europe outside German hands except what was assigned to Italy as the price for her assistance. The dates were: March, 1938, for Aus- tria; March, 1938, for Czecho- Slovakia; March, 1940, for Holland, Belgium, Switzerland and France, | with the Balkans to follow in the autumn, etc. With the Scandinavian countries, Hitler seems to have a little advan- tage of the clock—perhaps because of fajlure in trying to lull Britain into connivance for a sufficiently — Y Would You Like A Fine Pet?

But otherwise he followed his time tables closely, as he made true all the cynically open predictions on totalitarianism in “Mein Kampf,” which nobody seems to have read and appreciated in time. Ambitions Not Limited by Plan. Hitler’s ambitions are not limited by the Rosenberg plan. However, Hitler, after all, is but the most recent and most virulent exponent of one of two German schools of thought—the* one with a 1,500~ year-old dream of world domina- tion by force. The other, let me call it the “Stresemann school,” in honor of my great and regretted friend, who was frustrated by for- eign short-sightedness after years of hopeful collaboration with Aris- tide Briand and Austen Chamber- lain, strove for the regeneration and maybe even the predominance of humanitarian methods to effect a European merger on economic lines. The adherents of brute force and unscrupulous betrayal, represented by the Nazis—without the slight- est consideration of a code of hon- or—have won ever since. There is a remarkable program published two years before the| World War and no doubt carefully | studied by Hitler. It claimed Aus- | tria, Holland, Belgium, Luxem- | bourg and Switzerland for a Reich of 133,000,000, sharing with Great | Britain more than half the earth— including the better part of South | America for Germany. The United | States was to be bribed by get-‘ ting Mexico and Central America.
