WETZEL'S Just Phone 3760 Co. mm mm By DeWITT MacKENZIE The nazi rejection of the United States warning on the Monroe doctrine as "untenable" speaks for itself. So does the fact that it was Berlin (and not the French government) which Friday first announced officially that France had severed diplomatic relations with her old ally, Britain. And Rumania's hurried formation of a new pronazi government which pledged "honest adaptation to the systems created by the Rome-Berlin axis." All of which is by way of saying that the voice of nazidom carries far in these days of triumph by arms.

With the Monroe doctrine note of Foreign Minister Von Ribbentrop as a reminder, it strikes me that this would be good time for you and me to see what Herr Hitler's ambitious program contemplates for Europe not to cover too wide a territory but to confine it to his own home grounds, so to speak. We can reconstruct the plans easily from nazi pronouncements and acts over a long period, and they run like this: The "new order" which Herr Hitler projects for Europe after he has eliminated Britain from the picture (he hopes) provides for nazi po litico-economic domination. England would be eliminated from partlci pation in continental affairs, both economic and political. Observers generally expect that if Germany wins the war such coun tries as the nazi fuehrer doesn't want to annex outright, or make protectorates, will be compelled to come into a customs union which to all intents and purposes will make them dependencies of the reich. The German for "customs union' is "zollverein." It means an agree ment by a number of states regarding tariffs, either among themselves or against the rest of the world.

Indeed, the idea of the federa tion of German states grew out of such an arrangement. Under the treaty of Munich in 1833 Prussia agreed with various independent German states not to impose tariffs against each other but to adopt tariffs against the outside world. This developed into the political union. ineoreucauy a state within a customs union retains its political independence. Practically, however, such a union may enable a powerful nation to contro the entire economic life of the weaker countries, and this in turn gives political domination.

All indications are that Herr Hit ler plans to impose the nazi totali- mortgages on improved 3V2 BY GENERAL ELECTRIC CO. tarian politico-economic program on the rest of Europe. That is to say he proposes nazification of all Eu rope. That Is what is going forward in the countries occupied by Ccr many. Including France.

In the economic field the reichs mark will be the monetary basis. Barter (I'll swap my eggs for your shoes) undoubtedly will be widely continued, at least at the outset, although one suspects that the reich may revert to orthodox trade metlv ods in some degree because of the dislike of many countries for the barter system. The nazi program would make Europe independent of the western hemisphere for supplies, by veloping European and colonial re sources. In fine, this great and self' contained customs union among so many countries would be calculated to force the rest of the world to fall in with Hitler's economic ideas. The Hitlerian plan provides for the development of the various countries according to their re sources so as to provide for a bal anced Europe.

That is, if a country is particularly adapted to wheat' growing, it would confine its actlV' ities to this. The dairy country would stick to cows, and the indus trial nation to its machinery. The idea would be to eliminate duplies tion of effort and make each state's pursuit fit into the general picture. All developments would comple ment the industrialization of the reich. The other countries would furnish markets for German goods and would in turn provide food and other supplies for the fatherland.

The agricultural Balkans, for ex ample, would be kept chiefly at their farming in order to feed the reich, and would be made dependent on Germany for their manufactured articles. Any industrial development in these countries would complement that of the reich but would not be allowed to duplicate it. Hitler is aiming at self-sufficiency for Germany in all this. That means he intends to make Germany wholly independent of countries outside his control for supplies, especially those necessary for the waging of war. To meet this ambitious program he will, in my view, need to pursue the plan which he long ago laid down as imperative expansion eastward.

This would mean the revival of the old drang nach osten drive to the east which was one of the great dreams of Kaiser Wilhelm. It would take Herr Hitler against Russia and into the vastly rich Rus sian Ukraine which he has held must be possessed by Germany in order to give the reich the supplies it needs. But the drang also has contemplated a sweep southeastward, into the near east and may be further. Only the other day, well informed Turkish quarters in Istanbul declared they expected a German-inspired drive against Iraa. the rich oil country, by Iran (Persia), which is held to be wholly pronazi.

Iraq has been virtually a British pro tectorate but the German plan Is said to have gained headway through the collapse of France and the consequent weakening of Anglo-French influence in the near east.
