Last week Secretary Wallace mobilized his followers for another battle, not against nature this time but against public opinion hostile to the New Deal's treatment of the agricultural crisis. As the great defensive system of the Germans during the War was the Hindenburg Line, so AAA last week relied on its own chief defense...
...many imps of spleen and spite have ever gotten under the armored skin of President von Hindenburg. But once a little clubfoot in his Nazi newsorgan taunted Paul von Beneckendorff und von Hindenburg with age, attacked him under the headline IS VON HINDENBURG STILL ALIVE?, charged without a scrap of evidence that "his advisers are Jews and Marxists."

They naively supposed that what was wanted was a "new and in this case a bloody uprising?'The Night of the Long Knives'?as it was gruesomely described...
Today Adolf Hitler, except that he is no Kaiser's henchman, has fulfilled most of the sardonic 1925 reasons for voting-or not voting-for Hindenburg. The President votes for Hitler-that is, last week he endorsed the blood bath in a personal telegram to his Chancellor and last week his knobby old fingers steadied but scarcely guided the helm...
