Wo wish American city edi¬ tor."; wouldn't fall for those fake reports concerning Hitler's in¬ tention of establishinB a .Jewish State in Poland. . . They're all part of a systematic Nazi propa¬ ganda attempt to soft-pedal and camouflage iinti-Jewish atro¬ cities perpetmted by tho Nazis in Poland. . . I'ierre van Paassen, Who's back in this country, tells tis something that no foreign correspondent has spilled in the press so tar. . . Namely, that Great Britain is sending loads , of troops anti fliers to tho Near East, for all the world as if she were expecting it to become war front before very long, rion't be surprised if Herbert C. Hoover gels the job oE interna¬ tional relief head, the post he so successfully- handled after the world war. . .
The American edition of Hit¬ ler's "Mein Kampt" is enjoying bigger sales since the book has been banned in Germany . . . we're not kidding—since the signing of the Nazi-Soviet pact "Mein Kampf" has been withr drawn from circulation In Nazi- land . . . This because it served as. a constant reminder to the German people that the Fuehrer can be wrong ... All of which reminds lis of the crack cur¬ rent amoi^g the hungry Ger- ¦mz>na-oJ iVh; Keleh: "If we had halt as much to eat as we have to swallow we'd be leading a marvelous lite". . .

Foreign affairs gossipers may have missed a scoop when they ovorloolted a classified ad whicii Neal O'Hara discovered in the Seattle, Wash., Times ..'. It re-ad: "Experienced Austrian paper- hanger and painter, at liberty .shortly . . . "Will accept Gentile employment . . . 1313 Doom . . . Adolf". . . But Dr, Hcinrich Bruening, former Chancellor of Germany, doesn't seem very optimistic about an imminent change for the better in the Reich government ... He has just accepted an appointment as permanent Professor of Govern¬ ment at Harvard University . . . There's quite a difference be¬ tween the Canadian and U. S. attitudes toward Hitler . . .On the campus of Montreal'.'; McGill University the students set Hit¬ ler's effigy on fire the other day ... In Boston a sandwich man made up like Hitler walks in front ot a movie house carry¬ ing boards proclaiming the house unfair . . . "They're pay ing more attention to 'The Rains Came' than to me," the pseudo-Hitler plaintively in¬ forms the world . . . We're be¬ ginning to think the strength of the German-American Bund must have been overestimated— hy ourself as well as by Hitler. . . . Only last week a Bund meeting but to raise the $50,000 bail required to get Fritz Kuhn out ot the can, where he was put  by    Dewey—and    all    the
