TENSION IN GERMANY.
FEELING AGAINST HITLER. POWERFUL NEW ORGANISATION. LONDON, Jan. 25. Germany's gigantic internal struggle may be decisive for the whole of Western civilisation, according to the Berlin correspondent of the Manchester Guardian, who draws attention to the significance of the first meeting of the Republican Action, a popular anti-Hitlerite movement. He emphasises the growth of this middle-class organisation, which, besides the possession of an " iron front" fighting formation, employable in the event of civil war, is affiliated with the Reichsbanner workers' organisation.
The party's championship of national rights disproves that it is pacifist or onpatriotic. It could be combined with tbs Reichsbanner to annihilate the Nazi# (Hitlerites) in the event of hostilities. Germanv is in a state of latent civil war, although open battle is unlikely. The fear which Herr Hitler inspired, more dangerous than himself* h as now ' diminished. His funds are reduced and opinion in Bavaria, his former stronghold, is increasingly hostile.
