Douglas Miller's "You Can't Do
Business With Hitler" Starts
Tuesday in the Detroit Times
Much has been written and said
about the Nazis, but no view of
the "inside" workings of the Hit-
ler system has been given com-
parable to that of Douglas Mil-
ler, former U. S. Commercial At-
tache at Berlin, in his "best-sel-
er," "You Can't Do Business With
Hitler,", which starts Tuesday,
Sept. 2, in serial form in The
Detroit Times.
For 14 years as Commercial
Attache, the author learned, from
Nazi leaders and lieutenants, from
Nazi regulations and documents
and plans, how the Nazis do busi-
ness today—and how they plan
to do business tomorrow.
In "You Can't Do Business
With Hitler" the author tells .. .
as seen by him AT FIRST HAND
. . . how the Nazi system func-
tions, and casts new light on the
brutalities and bigotry of the
Nazi philosophy.
What will happen if the Nazis
win the war . . . and how it will
affect America . . . is told by
Mr. Miller in this amazing expose,
which Wendell Willkie, David
Lawrence, Elmer Davis, William
L. Shirer, H. V. Kaltenborn, John
Kieran and other notables, urge
every American to read.

Nazism, the misery that accom-
panies them even in the very hav-
ens they find after they have es-
caped from the German persecu-
tions, is yet to be told in its en-
tirety. But piecemeal there are
already numerous tales which give
a proper idea of what is occurring
in a world of destruction.
One of the most telling stories
is Renee Brand's novel, "Short
Days Ago," a Farrar-Rinehart
publication. It is more than a
novel: it is history in its most
brutally realistic fashion.
