THE CASTAWAY

HITLER’S POSITION. “Hitler is in the same situation as a castaway shivering on a rock in the midst of a stormy sea. If he stays where he is, the rising tide—in his case, of discontent and Communism within his own country—will drown him; yet he recoils from the alternative of a grim struggle with the constantly mounting waves. Inaction and action are alike full of danger for him. In the end he may nerve himself to take the perilous plunge—and the war in the West will at last begin. Yet, if this happens, it will only be a deed of despair, and, as such, doomed to disaster. It remains to be seen whether restraining influences exist among the German people strong enough to prevent him, in his impotent fury, from pulling down the pillars of the temple on his own head and theirs alike. Re- ' ports of internal dissension come from so many different sources that they must have some foundation.”— Mr G. Ward Price, in the “Daily Mail." •
