The 'Nazi Way'
In Action .
T HE NOTION that defense of the
"American way" begins only at "the
water's edge" still immobilizes too large a body
of public opinion in the United States. Some,
day, and the sooner the better, Americans will
awake to implications of Nazi military success
which are now only vaguely felt by many.
To understand the "Nazi way" one need only
watch the methods by which the "new order"
is imposed, on much of Europe, including coun-
tries which have not even been invaded by Nazi
armies. The Christian Science Monitor's Rome
correspondent reports that among the various
aims by which the Axis Powers would re-order
Europe are (1) disarmament of the Danube
States to a point where resistance to the "new
order" would be impossible for them, and (2)
the revamping of their governments along to-
talitarian lines to make possible the "co-opera-
tion" which the dictators demand.
WJHAT THIS MEANS to the peoples in coun-
tries which come under the "new order" is
tragically illustrated in France. The French
now have a totalitarian government. Een a
plebiscite-after the event-will not express the
will of free Frenchmen. For the French people
have been, for the moment at least, deprived of
the. weapons of freedom. Who will debate the
questions to be voted on in a plebiscite?
Internal divisions which made Nazi military
victory possible in France are being exploited
by the Nazis in other countries where their mili-
tary forces have never set foot. As in France,
so in the Balkan States, are groups who believe
their interests will be served by the extension
of the Nazi way. Sometimes these are groups
of the extreme "left," sometimes of the "right."
They include persons who seek the establish-
ment of socialism by a short cut: the dictator
method. They include others who seek safe-
guards against discontented elements of their
own populations.
NAZI MILITARY SUCCESSES enhance the
prestige of such groups wherever they exist,
and increase the power of these groups to gain
their ends through terrorism. Thus the rule
over majorities by minorities is extended, and
the voice of the peoples is silenced by censor-
ship imposed from within,. but exploited from
without.
Even in the United States there are groups
and individuals who imagine their interests lie
in the application of increasingly authoritarian
concepts of government. Should Nazism break
down the last resistance to-it in Europe its in-
fluence could. no longer be confined to Europe.
Its intrigues already are felt in Latin America.
Americans would find it increasingly difficult
to suppress totalitarian spokesmen if the "new
order" for Europe should be seized by world
autocracy as a base for the new "world order"
envisaged in German-Japanese circles. Sub-
sidies would promote totalitarian projects, and
their representatives would benefit by every
immunity that joint diplomatic pressures on
the United States could procure.
Americans need not fear such developments
if they are awake. They can guard against them.
If they see how other peoples have been divided,
they can plan defenses of their own unity. But
they must understand that totalitarianism is
a world phenomenon, and is seeking a world,
not a single country or even continent, in which
to operate.

W ASHINGTON-Not many people knew it,
but Andrew Mellon's Aluminum Corpora-
tion of America was one of the U.S. concerns
cooperating with Germany to maintain high
prices on certain raw materials necessary for
national defense.
The Aluminum Corporation controlled the
supply of magnesium for the United States.
This metal is used as an alloy in substitute for
aluminum in the manufacture of airplane parts.
It is absolutely essential to the airplane indus-
try. Yet the Magnesium Development Com-
pany, jointly owned by the Aluminum Corpora-
tion of America and the I. G. Farbenindustrie
of Germany, has enjoyed virtually a world mo-
nopoly of this metal.
The I. G. Farbenindustrie, of course, is now
completely Nazified and dominated by the Ger-
man Government.
Under the joint control, Mr. Mellon's company
in the United States agreed to produce only
2,000 tons of magnesium a year, while Mr. Hit-
.er's company in Germany produced 10,000 tons
annually. As a result, prices were high.
Not long ago, the Department of Justice be-
gan to probe the monopoly holdings of raw ma-
terials and the degree of cooperation existing
between American firms and German. Details
of this probe were published in The Washington
Merry-Go-Round.
The other day, John W. Davis, attorney fob
the Aluminum Corporation of America, came
in to see Assistant Attorney General Thurman
Arnold, who has done more to reduce prices
than any other man in America, and promised
him the full cooperation of his client. He said
the Aluminum Corporation would be glad to pro-
duce magnesium for national defense purposes,
and cooperate in every other way possible.
Mother Knows Best
THE MORNING AFTER the Democratic con-
vention nominated the President for a third
term, Jim Farley called up his young son, Jimmy,
at a camp in New Hampshire.
"How'you, champ," he greeted the boy.
"Hi, dad, how did you make out last night?"
"I got licked."
"Well," was the comforting reply, "that will
please mother."
Note-Jolly Mrs. Farley intensely dislikes
trn-zMnnn lnn hgs wnted her husband tn
the convention floor rooting for Speaker Bank-
head. In the course of his operations, Elliott
told members of the Mississippi delegation that
his father had personally informed him that
while he favored Wallace, Bankhead and McNutt
also were acceptable.
Therefore the thing to do, Elliott declared,
was to work out a compromise; and Bankhead
was his choice.
COMING FROM the second son of the Pres-
ident, the Mississippi delegates naturally
considered the information straight from the
White House and spread the word. When it
reached worried Administration floor leaders
they rushed to Senator Jimmy Byrnes, who,
from the rostrum, was directing Wallace's fight.
Jimmy dashed for a nearby phone and told the
President what had happened.
Roosevelt's reply was that he hadn't talked
to Elliott in over a month, so naturally could
not have told him what he claimed.
"I am for Wallace and no one else," Roosevelt
added. "Further, you have my authority to
state that if he is not nominated, I won't run."
After Byrnes transmitted this message to the
Texas delegation, Elliott piped down.
Note-When Wallace, at 2 a.m., immediately
after his hard-won victory, telephoned the Pres-
ident and thanked him, Roosevelt advised th4

Jones and McNutt and thank them for their
sportsmanship. The President personally tele-
phoned McNutt and commended him as a "gal-
lant soldier who performed ' a great public ser-
vice tonight."
Camera Opposites
T HE NEW Republican members of Roosevelt's
Cabinet, Secretaries Stimson and Knox, are
peas-in-a-pod to Senate isolationists, but they
are poles apart with Capital newsreelers.
Stimson, 72, grave and intense, has no time
for such fol-de-rol as pictures and cameras. As
Secretary of State under Hoover he used to
brush photographers aside with a pre-occupied
"too busy" and he does the same now.
They almost had to "talk their heads off" to
get him to pose after his recent confirmation as
Secretary of War. Finally he consented, with
the reservation that there was to be no sound.

DRAMA]
By JAMES E. GREEN
Henry Aldrich, who has already
made something of a conquest of the
Broadway stage, of the movies, and
of the radio, came to the stage of the
Lydia Mendelssohn last night in the
person of William Kinzer and added
a few hundred more to his list of
admirers (among which is your re-
viewer). Clifford Goldsmith's farce,
"What a Life," had a considerable
advantage over some of the other
productions of this summer season;
its farce was conscious and its set-
ting and characters were more likely
to be familiar to the average summer
school audience than either patho-
logical peasants of New England or
eighteenth century ham actors; but.
even allowing for the fact that the
play occupies a particularly advan-
tageous position in the sequence of
the season, both the play and the
production given it can stand on
their own merits.
Sentimentality At Home
It is not difficult to predict a long
and pleasant career for "What a
Life." Its sentimentality is placed
in a setting in which it is completely
at home. It exploits to the fullest
extent all of the conscious and un-
conscious humor that is present in
both our educational system and in
the adolescent of any time. Its satire
is mild but not aimless and if its
moral can be best appreciated by
school teachers its humor, at least,
has no such limitation. Henry Al-
drich is an underdog with whom we
can sympathize completely without
ever raising any cosmic questions of
morality. We demand that Henry
triumph as much as we do that Fal-
staff triumph. Henry is no more at
home in his world than Falstaff was
in his and we are with him and
against the world. Henry has a kind
of virtue that completely transcends
the rigid virtue around him and we
are fairly certain that any compro-
mise that he makes with it will be
only a temporary one.
Kinzer Excellent
All of this is a rather stuffy way
of saying that Henry is a completely
delightful character as Goldsmith
has conceived him and as Kinzer
plays him. There is no more accur-
ate description of Kinzer's portrayal
than to say that he "throws himself"
into the role. He twitched his pants
with eloquence and was never com-
pletely at home in a shirt, even with-
out a necktie. I am not sure that
any question of "understanding the
role" enters in but after last night's
performance it would seem that
youth which so many young actors
seem to have prematurely lost has
been, in Kinzer's case, only mislaid.
He is never once anyone but Henry
Aldrich, a distillation of all the
young rogues who have ever assault-
ed the "mores" of the adult world.
The theatre group here occasionally
gets the benefit of a completely pro-
fessional performance by one of its
own members. This was such a per-
formance.
Henry Aldrich is the play but
Goldsmith puts him in setting of
characters who have some merit in
their own right. Adeline Gittlen and
Roy Rector as Henry's sweetheart
and enemy, respectively, didn't quite
have Kinzer's verve but they turned
in very capable performances. Ray
Pedersen was a very funny detective.
As to the members of the cast who
made up the academic setting, there
were no complaints from the audi-
ence and who can judge a school
teacher better than a school teacher?
