JUNKERS MAY KILL HITLER
OPINION OF GERMAN HISTORIAN WASHINGTON, June 11. “I feel sure that Hitler, before long, will be assassinated, probably by the Junkers, who wsre always traitors tp their kings,” said Emil Ludwig, the German biographer, addressing th.e Foreign Affairs Committee of the United States House of Representatives. ‘‘Then the Junkers’ generals whl kow-tow and say: ‘We love the Americans, Wo do hot hate the Jews. We do not ask for colonies. Come, let us be friends again.’ ” Ludwig expressed the belief that bombing would be a decisive factor m breaking'the Germans and making sin invasion unnecessary. He feared lest certain elements in the United. States? including Congressmen, were prepared to make peape and treat the generals as good people. “They are not one whit better than the Hitlers. The generals must be destroyed, else every German hoy will dream of revenge.” he said, “The German nation must have political, guardianship because the Germans are unable to govern themselves without it. Your sons, within 20 years, will sit arounp this table apd write another declaration of war against Germany.”
