“The position of the working man in Gemany today is deplorable. hitler has given them elaborfate plans for sport and travel organizations witin their industrial group. He has given them plans but not work and wages. He has given them patriotic slogans, but he has not given them their promised work and bread.
“Hitler has broken the wills of his workers. he has armed his brownshirts with authorities that police never enjoyed and he uses them against the workers with such relentless brutality that they dare not rise up in protest.
“To keep the German people quiet and peaceful during the period he required for consolidating his own position in Gemany, Hitler filled the press with a series of statistical lies. He reported that unemployment in Germent in Germany was on the wane and under the signature of his goverment advanced figures to prove it.
FEW ‘RE-EMPLOYED’
“In showing his reductions in unemployment, Hitler removed from the unempoyed list all Jews, Communists, Marxists, Pacifists, Marxists, and others who could not see eye-to-eye with him politically. These he considered reemployed. All young men between the ages of eitghteen and twenty-five he removed from the unemployed lists and withdrew doles from them. He told them that they could not be employed on the harvest he deported to other cities so that he might point to this area with pride and announce, ‘It is free from umemployment.’ About 165,00 temporary farm hands he considered among his newly employed.
“More than fifty thousand Germans he threw in concentration camp and eliminated their names from the unemployed lists. About 257,000 young men he employed in state labor camps for less than ten cents a day; and he considered them re-employed.
“Hitler formed large brigades of “Needy Workers,” whom he employed from day to day on state and city projects. They clean snow from the raods in winter and do jobs at irregular intervals. These names he withdrew from the unempoyed lists and they numbered 186,000 for national odd jobs.
“Hitler’s statement that he has re-employed between two millions and two and one-half million of men embraces just about two or two-and-a-half million lies. He did not take into consideration the fact that he has removed possibilities of employement from about 300,000 trade union members.
“As far as one may learn from unbiased figures on German unemployment, Hitler has not bettered the situation one whit. The salaries of the country have fallen during Hitler’s term im office, and prespects for work have gone glimmering. German commerce has dropped precipitously, and the fortunes upon the export trade have suffered.
“I can see no possibility fore revolution against the Hitler dicatorship in the immediate future. Hitler, while not a clever man, is a good psychologist and strategist. He has an uncanny knack of moving into the enemy’s holes at the psychological moment and securing his own vulnerable points against couter-attack.”
