MAY RESTORE OLD MONARCHY
Colonel Frank Knox, publisher of the Chicago Daily News, returning from Europe today, said his observations of the German scene convinced him that "Germany is in a stage of terror."...
"The truth is," he said, "that Hitler has not been able to control subordinates within his own organization, and they carry on atrocities without authority from any source but themselves. Hitler has sought to punish them, but time and again they are out of control...."
How wrong he was. - C. S.
