HITLER AND RUSSIA

, Mr. J. A. Dwight is mistake. L Germany and Italy are both capitalist countries. Hitler's rise to power , was made possible by big fitwfrs , and industrialists, who contributed the funds which fed, clothed and armed his Storm Troopers to bludgeon the opposition into subjection. . The immediate return for this was the forcible suppression of the German trade union movement. A State cannot be regarded as Snrfalkt i which does not even own its armament.works. Krupp's is still Kruno , *, Bloem and Voss still Bloemud Voss. When rearmament started, the diversion of all possible intotrial and financial resources turn peaceful to warlike uses necessitated rigid Governmental direction. Internal and external credit was controlled and manipulated to achieve the desired end, but legal ownership of the instruments of production remains in private hands. One of the largest trusts in Germany, the GoeringAverke has for its head Goerins, Hitler s lieutenant. Similarly, m Italy, the Fiat. Ansaldo and other Key war industries are privately owned.
