THE NAZI PLAN.

CONSTANT REMINDER. DISCIPLINED FORCES. "Everything in Germany is carried out according to the Xazi plan," said Mr. J. T. Jennings, M.P. for Watson in the Australian Federal Parliament, who passed through Auckland by the Niagara on his way back to Sydney. Mr. Jennings said the average working week in Germany was 46J hours, the wages of skilled tradesmen were 57/0 a week, and unskilled 34/0 a week, both subject to taxation. The Nazi salute was given instead of saying "Good day." There was evident a desire on the part of the German people to be friendly to the British people and he found officials most courteous, and business men pessimistic regarding trade prospects. No provision was made for any increase in cost of raw materials or improvement in manufacture, and in order to manufacture at a profit they often had to use a poorer material. The Australian said that militarism was proceeding apace, and disciplined forces throughout Germany were a constant reminder of it. The German contention was that she had to arm to protect herself. They were pleased by Britain's strong rearmament programme, a& it was considered that it would be a factor for world peace.
