man chancellor, just as many other Gentiles are doing: today.Not long ago, a leading Indianapolis citizen, who had 'been 'born in Germany, was asked his opinions about the present government in his homeland. He said that his country had always been a beautiful one, but since that ‘crazy fool” came into power, things were going from bad to worse.Hitler's visit with the Italian pre*-mier was in the spirit of friendliness, and as yet, we cannot attach any particular significance to the event. The German chancellor invited the Italian to repay his visit, to which Mussolini replied favorable.■. During his short visit in Italy, Adolf Hitler was treated with the greatest respect and kindness due a ruler, and now the Jewish peoples of the world are wondering WHAT NOW ? Will Benito Mussolini take a similar attitude toward Jews? Will he become the humaniac that Hitler is? Will he soon learn to hate the small rrligious groups as Hitler does?Mussolini is a leader such as Hitler never can hope to be. He is a leader* of a successful dictatorship, whereas Hitler with his type of leadership stands to plunge himself and his follow.rs to destruction. Mussolini. the successful leader of men, will also follow, but not in paths)leading to failure.None dare to chance the deplorable conditions into which Germany has been thrown through its persistant persecution of its Jewish citizens.In May, 1933, when Hitler was so effectively staging his campaign against the Jews in Germany, the press of the world asked Mussolini his ideas on Jewry. Concerning the Jews in Italy, Mussolini stated:“If we exclude the Jew's, we shall artificially strengthen the camp of our enemy, for it is obvious that those w’ho are not with us can only be a-gainst us.A very w'ise saying, indeed, and to Hitler, at the time he began his campaign against the Jews, it seemed that only a handful of Jew’s in Germany turned against him w’ould not »be very effective in strengthening the camp of his enemies. But he has figured wrongly, for the “hand-full” of Jews he has thus turned a-gainst him have secured reenforcements from the wrorld over, and have brought Jew and Gentile alike to strengthen the camp of Hitler’s enemy—yes, noticeaibly so.Can any nation, basing its decision upon Germany’s present condition, choose to follow’ and carry out Hitler’s anti-Semitic policies?
