Thompson HITLER WORLD'S GREATEST LIAR SAYSCOLUMNIST Believes Systems Are Out To Kill Other Systems By MARTIN HARMON "There is a great war and it is now a struggle for power between Bri tain and Germany," Miss Dorothy Thompson, former foreign correspond ent and now a featured columnist and foreign observer, declared last night before a crowd of 1,600 people who gathered in Memorial hall to hear her third and last Weil lecture. Changing her topic because of Fuehrer Adolph Hitler's Wilh elms haven speech yesterday morning, Miss Thompson said that the struggle be tween Britain and Germany is "not an old-fashioned power fight." "One system' will kill the other," she said. "They are fighting an economic war fare, a war of economic strangulation, a war of diplomacy. Democracies are holding the poorer hand because they have a few inhibitions left. . "The United States is already en gaged. We entered first and more definitely than others with a 25 per cent duty on a boycott of German goods," Miss Thompson asserted. "It amounts to a two-way boycott which would be enormously important. If Germany could not sell here, she could not buy here."

She then predicted that capital would prefer fascism to communism, although neither would mean "the revitaliza- tion of private enterprise." NAZI AND COMMUNIST At this point the speaker analyzed the differences between Germany and Russia, referring to the many similari ties in the organization of the two na tions. After naming the common bonds between the totalitarian states, she pre dicted that the possibility of a deal be tween Russia and Germany was not at all improbable in the event of war. Miss Thompson then drew the anal ogy that the basis for fascism was lit tle different from that of socialism, cit ing General Franco's national eocial ( Continued on last page) Sophs, Juniors, Wanta Join The Marines???
