NOTE OF FEAR
COLLAPSE FROM WITHIN
LONbON, November 9. "A whining note of fear is plainly discernible as a grim undertone to the bravura passages," says the "Daily Mail," commenting in an editorial on. Hitler's speech. "Hitler fears the moral collapse of the1 German nation under defeat, and more particularly. under the bombing offensive. Above all, he fears a traitor who may end him and his regime. A great war leader,* confident in victory as Hitler asserts he is, doesn't have to threaten his allies and\ associates as he did." Tlie "Daily Express," in .a leader, says that fear has begun to open cracks in Hitler's Germany. There was no comfort for Germany in the speech, no hint as to how Hitler proposes to stop the Red Army, how to stop the Allied air forces from shattering the life out of Germany itself, and howto stop the second front when it arrives," the paper says. "Even more than these dangers from without, the Nazis fear collapse from within. Hitler's threat'to his own people was put more brutally than he has ever spoken it before."
"It is an even chance that a year hence there will be no beer cellar celebration and no Hitler to celebrate it," says the "Daily Telegraph," in an. editorial. "Yesterday's celebration, sounded more like a swan song than a paean of the past dozen years. The old Hitler style has lost its spell as the shadows gather round Germany."
