GERMANY’S POWER

IN HER PEASANTRY DANGERS OF INTELLECTUAL ISM. (United Pi’e&s Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) BERLIN, September 13. Curious reverberations of a Hitlerite gospel continue. Herr Kube, an inliueutial Prussian leader, announced at a public meeting: "It is nonsense lor handicraftmen and members of the loner middle classes to cherish the ambition of giving their sons a University education. We have too many academicians apart from the glutting of .certain of the professions. This ambition conjures up the dangers of intellectualism, and it creates a favourable soil for a growth of Bolshevism and Liberalism.”

On the contrary, in order to persuade the German peasant that lie is the life spring of the country, Chancellor Hitler proposes to hold a monster harvest festival- on November 1, when half a million of the peasants are being mustered to hear the Chancellor’s address from a hillside on the Buekeberg Range. This gathering will -also be entertained by feats of horsemanship by cavalry detachments. There will be gigantic bonfires on tho. surrounding heights. Everyone who attends the harvest festival is expected to buy a badge consisting of two ears of corn and a poppy, the profits of the sales going to swell Doctor Goehbel's anti-hunger and anti-cold fund.

JEWISH BOYCOTT OF GOODS. GERMANY SUFFERS BIG LOSS. LONDON, September 17. “The Observer” says: Jewry’s “secret” boycott of German goods has already cost Germany millions of pounds. A big multiple store recently cancelled a seven figure order. A committee of Jewish doctors is investigating the possibilities of obtaining in Britain drugs and chemicals hitherto imported from Germany. The boycott is prevalent throughout Europe and has had such an effect ,that many German firms are employing Jewish travellers in the attempt to retrieve the trade. Jewish importers here have ceased to use German ships.
