WHO IS THE DISTURBER?
BY DR. CHARLES STELZLE
Between the darkness following the first World Conflict and the one
whcih now overshadows the nations, Germany experienced for some years an
"Indian Summer’ of peace and tranquility in education, science, music, art and
industry. Hatred was subordinated to the spirit of brotherhood. “Nie
Wieder Krieg”—never again war—was the watchword of the nation. Peace
treaties were signed. Germany was gradually having restored to it certain
privileges and concessions of which the war had deprived its people. It
seemed that tHe world was set for an era of prosperity and happiness. • • • •
Then, suddenly, as the year 1930 approached, came another collapse that was
part of a world-wide depression.
It was during these troublous times, with discontent rampant on all
sides, that Hitler seized his opportunity. He resorted to every trick of the
politician, meanwhile maintaining a pretense of “spirituality.” The Naii
platform was written to meet the prejudices of every group to be appealed to,
and he launched a campaign which won the support of fanatics and all those
who had grievances.
Hitler wooed the national organizations of industrialists and financiers,
and then doublecrossed them. He flimflammed labor, and then wiped it out
of existence. But his master stroke to obtain "unity” was preaching a doc
trine of hate.
First he made the Jews the “bogeymen’ of the nation. He charged them
with all the ills of Germany and its people, and by every possible device
he created mass hatred of the Jews. Then he extended his persecution to
Catholics, Protestants, and to all intellectuals. He adopted the counsel that
it was easier t teach hate than love and that when all other means of in
citement had failed to divert their attention, by “intervening terrors.” By so
doing, he violated every decent respect which the people of Germany may
have had for justice, religion and common honesty. He promised that
Germany would not engage in war, despite the fact that he had already
written in his book “Mein Kampf” his plan to conquer the world.
Is it any wonder that so many of us resent the importation of the
stifling atmosphere of insincerity, trickery and hatred which Hitler has
created? In view of this history, do we need to ask: “Who is the great
disturber?” As Americans, we need to oppose every attempt to introduce
into this country the frightful doctrines which Hitler has advocated, and for
which he is now fighting with such shocking relentlessness and barbarism..
The American Federation of Labor will never surrender
the principle of democratic control or yield to minority force
and domination. It will ever cling to Democratic ideals and
will most jealously guard and protect the principles of De
mocracy and Democratic procedure. It will never accept a
dictator or submit to autocratic control. It is upon that sound
and solid American basis it has taken its stand and there
it will ever remain.”—WILLIAM GREEN, President Amer
ican Federation of Labor.
