Hitler Failed Dismally, Magazine Survey Finds

The February monthly bulletin of the American Committee of the International Relief Association, released yesterday, categorically lists the failure of Hitler’s twenty-five point program. The bulletin’s survey reveals that the Nazi Government has failed dismally in almost all constructive clauses. The following are its conclusions:

Of the points adopted, that calling for the union of all Germans into a Greater Germany has not been put over. The NSDAP yielded on the South Tyrol before Hitler came into power and has since surrendered all other program promises on the national question.

With regard to Hitler’s oft vaunted promises of equality for Germany in the world of nations, neither the Versailles Treaty nor Treaty of St. Germain has been repudiated.

Hitler has made good on his threat to disenfranchise all who are not of German blood. It lists the numerous categories of former citizens who have been driven into exile or concentration camp, persecuted. or murdered.

In fulfilling his promise to employ only "Aryans" in public offices of the Reich, state, or local community, Hitler has given jobs to his henchmen, many of them receiving magnificent salaries.

UNEMPLOYED FIGURES ARE GREATER

Hitler’s demands for the reemployment of all citizens (and if necessary the deportation of foreign job-holders), is in no wise successful. Real unemployed figures are approximately six million rather than the expressed four million and goes on to say that many thousands are employed on starvation wages.

With regard to Hitler’s promise of equal rights to all citizens, party members today form the privileged class in Germany.

Hitler has utterly failed to keep his promise to wipe out unearned incomes, confiscating war profits (armament and ammunition works and owners are more prosperous than ever) and interfering with the feudalistic lordship of trusts and Junkers, while his profit-sharing ideas are still in the abstract stage.

Old age pensions have declined on the average fifteen per cent to nullify Hitler’s promise of a complete old age pension system. Land reforms, confiscation of land from the Junkers, and the abolition of usury and profiteering are no longer mentioned in the Third Reich.

With regard to the Roman Law, "which serves a materialistic world order," the bulletin quotes from the Voelkischer Beobachter as follows: "Judge Hasper, explaining Fascist justice, said, ‘The jurist in reviewing a legal affair and in arriving at a decision must learn to think as a soldier."

MILITARY EDUCATION OFFERED

In regard to Hitler’s promises of education for a broader circle of German students and particularly for poor but gifted children, the number of college students in the Third Reich has declined from 31,000 to 15,000. while highly gifted children of the poor find themselves unable to pay for any but the military training profusely offend to all Germans.

Hitler’s promises of affording better hygienic facilities to mothers and children have been fulfilled with no legislation against child labor, while women have been forced from jobs, the pay for which they had utilized in providing comforts for their families.

Hitler has entirely fulfilled his promise of coordinating the press with the state and suspending publication of those "offending the commonweal," with a complete censorship, the closing of hundreds of papers, and the burning of thousands of books and pictures.

Hitler’s fight against materialism for spiritualism is illustrated in the pamphlet by two incidents in which von Hindenburg was presented with thousands of hectares of land to round out his estate and the presentation as a gift on 10,000 acres in Bavaria to Gearing.

The party leaders’ promises to stake their lives for the cause has been met by the appointment or large stormtroop bodyguard details to each of the leaders.
