"Although Germany is in many ways divided internally and externally, it is absolutely unified in a feeling of national dignity," declared Dr. Eugen Kuehneman, Professor of Philosophy at the University of Breslan, Germany, who is lecturing here on Goethe, in an interview yesterday.
"Adolf Hitler is the man who exemplifies this feeling", he continued emphatically. "There is not the slightest feeling among the German people of enmity against the allies as such, but the great majority of them feel that Germany was treated with great injustice by the Treaty of Versailles and their primary thoughts are to be free from the provisions of that treaty. If a these people who are behind Hitler. Of humble origin, he is a man of unusual drawing power a magnetic personality. His tremendous influence is in this dignified national feeling."
When asked about Hitler's stand if he should get into power, Dr. Kuehneman said, "Of one thing I am certain; he will make a definite end of reparations, but will acknowledge private debts,". In regard to the fears of the allies, especially France, that, Germany will start another war as soon as it is able to gather troops. Dr. Kuehneman expostulated, "There is absolutely no reason for all this nonsense; the economic condition of the country is so low that it would be the greatest insanity to start a war now or in the future. The restoration of it's economic prosperity is by far the most important problem Germany has to face right now, and it is one of the most right now, and it is one of the most difficult she has ever faced. Outsiders have no idea of the conditions in Germany right now; the whole industrial and commercial system is practically paralyzed, and there is a population half that of the United States in an area three-quarters that of Texas, with no expansion possible. Naturally, with conditions such as these, there is a considerable danger of the advent of communism, but Adolf Hitler is the one man best able to prevent it."
