REASON FOR HITLERISM
(By Telegraph.) (Special to the "Evening Post") DUNEDIN, June 26. Mr. W. P. Mdrrell, Lecturer in History at University of London, who is revisiting Dunedin , after an absence of ten years, says that tHe main cause of Hitlerism has been the economic depression and .the feeling of bitterness and almost of despair that filled the minds of young Germans, particularly of the middle classes; who were unable to get work. In propaganda work for Hitlerism they found an outlet for their energies, and in the attack of Hitler upon the Jews, which produced a deplorable impression outside Germany, they gave expression to the feeling that whilst most Germans had suffered financially from the war and its aftermath, inflation, a few men, and some Jews, had benefited financially. In the rather nebulous.programme of, Hitlerism, that had found scope for their curious sentimentalism, and also for the national) ambitions which seemed to appeal so strongly to the modern German. Hitler and some of his' associates were masters of propaganda, but they had also promised many things which they could not "perform.
