The incoherent demagogy and megalomania of Hitler were had enough, the “Manchester Guardian” writes in an editorial to-day, especially in view of the fact that in the eyes of a large and growing number of Germans he was a superman, a saviour; but Hitler, it goes on, seems blessed beside these barons who have been fetched from their bankrupt estates in Prussia to govern a civilised people. After all, there is,

if not in Hitler himself, at least in some of his followers, a passion for something better than exists. They look forward, if hazily, to a future more adequate than the present; and, besides hating Jews and mouthing patriotism, denounce undoubted social evils; the barons and the generals look back Complacently across eighteen years of horror to the time when they were dominant in Germany, and find their golden age then.
