NAZI PROGRESS.

HITLER'S EXULTANT SPEECH. BIG TASKS AHEAD. MANY THOUSANDS OF ENEMIES IN PRISON CAMPS. (UKITED TRESS ASSOCIATION—VY ELECTIUC TCI.EGKAriI COPYRIGHT.) (Received July 11, 1.20 a.m.) BERLIN, July 10. "The Concordat with the Vatican and the disappearance of the Centre party signifies the end of the fight for political power," declared Herr Hitler, addressing 70,000 storm troops at Dortmund. "Stronghold after stronghold we have taken. There are now gigantic tasks ahead, but we will master them. Nobody will now resist us. "Our first task is the education of the individual German for the new State. The second is to combat unemployment until it ceases to be a problem. We shall create for Germany's millions, not only the possibility to live, but we will take from them the faint-heartedness which made them despair of the task of life." The Other Side. It is reliably stated that at least 100,000 are now in concentration camps, including well-known scientists, doctors, and politicians. Hundreds of republicans are still fugitives, fleeing from one corner of Germany to another, preferring to risk almost certain capture rather than leave the Fatherland. DESTRUCTION OF DEMOCRACY. EXTENDING PRUSSIAN DICTATORSHIP. CAPTAIN VON GOERING'S SPEECH. BERLIN, July 9. Captain Wilhelm von Goering (Premier of Prussia) has promulgated a new constitution for the Prussian State Council, which formerly functioned in much the same way as the House of Lords. After this it will merely listen to Captain von Goering's pronouncements, make observations on them, and advise the Government. It will meet in secrecy, and will not possess a vote. It will consist of a Prussian Cabinet of 50 appointees, including the chief and sub-chiefs of the Nazi storm troops, and representatives of the churches, industry, business, and science. Captain von Goering, explaining the abolition of the vote, said: "The Nazi state knows, only one authority, namely, that from above downward; and one responsibility, from the bottom upward. We arc deadly enemies of the principle of the democratic majority, and have now concentrated our authority more rigidly than since Frederick the Great. You may call it a dictatorship, but it is really the principle of leadership." NAZI ATROCITIES. SHOCKING TREATMENT OF OPPONENTS. STORM TROOPS' RAIDS. (Received July 10, 9.30 p.m.) LONDON, July 10. The Vienna correspondent of the "Daily Telegraph" says that confirmation has been received of the murder of the Socialist Reichstag deputy Herr Johannes Stelling by Nazi storm troops during a midnight Nazi raid upon the workmen's colony at Koepenick, where Herr Stelling lived. A young son of a trade union secretary, named Schmans, lost his head and shot three of the raiders. The whole colony was searched until Herr Stelling was found. For a week no information about his fate was available, and then his body was found in the Zerpen canal, sewn up in a sack. Herr Stelling was identified, though his face was beaten to a pulp. Young Schmans was also found in the canal, beaten to death. Finally his father's body was found in the canal, the youth's mother in the meantime having gone out of her mind, and been sent to an asylum. The method of beating is to use a steel rod "from the belt downwards." After the beating, the victim, stripped to the waist, is shown to a Nazi prison doctor, who smilingly certifies that he has not been touched. BLOW TO JEWISH DOCTORS. MANY SENT TO PRISON CAMP. BERLIN, July 9. The death blow has -been given to Jewish doctors by the prohibition of non-Aryans treating Aryan members of private sick benefit institutions, of which 90 per cent, of Germans are members. Eightyeight Jewish doctors were arrested as the result of a raid on a consulting office which was organising relief for doctors deprived of their livelihood. All were sent to a concentration camp before they were able to arrange for the future care of their patients. The Government has suspended the newspaper "Taglische Rundschau" for three months for its criticism of the Government's religious policy. Dr. Ruppin, Commissary for the Medical Profession in the Province of Brandenburg, recently published in the medical press* under the heading:.

"Away With the Jewish Doctors," a I manifesto in which he said: "The free academic professions, and | especially the doctors, come into perj sonal touch with the widest circles i of the population, and a doctor occu- | pies a position of confidence in relation to his patients, which opens to him an influence on the thought of those circles. The provincial committee of the Brandenburg doctors regards it as unthinkable that in our State a Jew should retain the possibility of disseminating in this way the poison of Jewish thought. "Through the entry of too many Jews, the former idealistic professional view has incontestable' been driven from wide circles of the free professions by the Jewish business spirit. This spirit must be eradicated from our professions, and every possibility of its return prevented. "So far as it has already penetrated the corruption must be stamped out by the most drastic means. We German doctors, therefore, demand the exclusion of all Jews from, medical treatment of our fellow-countrymen, because the Jew is the incarnation of mendacity and fraud." INTERCESSION SERVICE IN LONDON. CHIEF RABRPS ATTACK ON ! NAZIS. (Received July 10, 7.30 p.m.) ' LONDON, July 10. ] Ten thousand Jews attended the j service of intercession at the Albert Hall for persecuted Jews in Ger-1 many. The Very Rev. Joseph Hertz, Chief Rabbi of the United Hebrew congregations of the British Empire, compared the anti-Semitism of the Nazis with the treatment of witches in barbaric times. Germany had taken an unpopular section of the community and blamed it for all her troubles. Nothing less than extermination of the Jews would satisfy the wilder spirits among the Nazis, who had repeatedly stated that if Herr Hitler's life was attempted, even unsuccessfully, all the Jews in Germany would immediately be placed against walls and shot —a more ghastly measure than anything the v/orld had ever seen. NAZI STRUGGLE FOR' AUSTRIA. HITLER'S DETERMINATION ! TO CONTINUE. ■ (Received July 10, 8.15 p.m.) i BERLIN, July 10. It is officially stated on behalf of Herr Hitler that the struggle for Austria will relentlessly continue until it is successful. Apparently the Nazis will not be influenced by \ their oft-expressed desire for cooperation with Great Britain which, according to the statement made j by Sir John Simon in the House ■ of Commons, hopes to assist Austria. Representative Nazis think that Germany will eventually stand alone, but is, in the meanwhile, placating foreign opinion regarding equality of armaments. They declare that the sacrifices of the Austrian Nazis are bearable only if Germany is loyal to them.
