PERFIDIOUS ROLE
HITLER ACCUSED BETRAYAL OF NATION NOW GAULEITER'S CLUB (Elec. Tel. Copyright—United Press Assn.) (.Reccl. All" IS. 9 a.m.) NEW YORK, Aug. 14. Writing in the magazine Liberty. Fieri- Fritz Thyssen. the exiled German ffccl magnate, said: “It is now clear that Hitler has played a perfidious game. I thought he would merely provide a transition stage for the reintroduction of the monarchy, but Germany has now become a sort of gauleiters’ club." The United Press of America says that Herr Thyssen was duped into believing the Nazis would end economic anarchy in Germany. His idea of a stable industrial system was a “corporative business” constitution with capital, labour and the Government closely collaborating—a happy medium between outright Government control and unregulated free enterprise. He believed the Nazis offered such a middle way. Hen Thyssen admits having given the Nazis 1,000,000 marks, and estimates the contribution by German industry at 2,000,000 marks yearly. Herr Thyssen opposed war, declaring it would make Germany dependent on Russia for raw materials, thus forcing her to forego her position as a world Power.
