A VICAR'S DREAM.

HITLER WITH WIFE. CURE FOR TRUCULENCE. LABOUR WOMAN THINKS OTHERWISE. (Special.—By Air Mall.) LONDON, December 24. A wife and a garden would have changed Hitler, thinks the Rev. C. H. Scott, vicar of Caincross, Gloucestershire. A happy marriage and 12 months in the garden of his own home would have cured him of his apparent warlike tendencies. "I think Hitler is conspicuously lonely, if not absolutely friendless, and that he had not yet grown up," he writes in his parish magazine. "He is abnormal, and would benefit if he dug and dug in his garden until he disinterred his buried self. For 12 months he should study the New Testament and see no political friends." Mrs. Barbara Ayrton Gould, a leading member of the London Labour party, does not agree. She says that if Hitler had been the sort of man who would dig in a garden he couldn't have been the Hitler the world knows. She thinks that not even a good wife could have done much for him. "Obviously he Is the product of a bad inheritance and environment." she said this week. "He may have had a cruel childhood."
