NAZI EXPERT’S BOAST.

“CAPITALISM OVERTHROAVN.”

The, Berlin correspondent of the London Daily Telegraph says: “Herr Hitler’s four-year plan will accelerate Germany’s progress toward State Socialism similar to that in Russia. The Nazis’ chief economic expert, Herr Bernard Koehler, in a speech at the Honour Congress in Nuremberg, which has just been published, said that control' would be more stringent, and private enterprise would be drastically curtailed.” “The second work of the campaign,” declared Herr Koehler, “will be waged under martial laws so severe that even intending saboteurs must be honest. Germany will not be content with inferior substitutes, and will invent new manufacturing processes, in order to liberate herself from outside economic pressure. “We are not concerned with inventing artificial goods to replace raw materials. We do not merely aim at producing patent copper, wool, and cotton, but materials best suited to our purposes. Technical possibilities hitherto not dreamed of will be revealed.

“Production will be cheaper owing to the simplification and standardisation of manufacturing methods. Not only Bolshevism, but capitalism, has been overthrown during Herr Hitler’s four years of office.”
