GESTAPO
by G.
Ward Price
The London "Daily Mail" Special Cor- respondent really does know the men behind the banners in modern Germany. To-day he tells you of Himmler and the Gestapo men the world's most feared ter- rorists.
The true character of this falsc Wagnerian hero, Adolf Hitler, who TN GERMANY you constantly has induced them to raise him to the hear about the Gestapo, but status of a god, is being made plain you don't ace it unless it wants to the German masses by all the to see you. ♦♦ | channels o?

That is the position of noutral countries in war time.
There is a bly paradox in neu- trality. It is this: the neutral State. wishes to avoid war, but is also de- termined not to let war interfere with Its trade. There is the point of all the trouble that arises between nou- truls and belligerents.
Chief among the rights of neutrals is the declarailan that a neutral State Is entled to have the integrity of Its territory and territorial waters respected by the Powers at war,
For Instance. If troops on the | frontier accidentally crossed into neutral territory, the neutral has the right to call on them to surrender and to Intern them for the "duration."
For belligerent aeroplanes to Ay over a neutral country is an obvious breach of the rules, and, since there is no way of calling on them to sur- gender, presumably that acutral, has the right to shoot them down.
The neutral must be strictly Its treatment of bolligerents

The neutral must not allow belligerent to move forces, munitions.. or supplies across its territory, nor allow it to erect or use wireless or any other telegraphy apparatus for military purposes,
Among the other "must nois" is the one that declares that the neutral must not provide any belligerent with troops, ships, munitions of war, money, or with commodities of direct or Indirect use in war.
The odd thing about it is that this rute only appiles to the neutral State. and not to its Individual citizens.
But as you know, that rule broke down in the last wdr when the United States became an arsenal of supply for the Allied Powers, Nations en- uged in Hife-and-death struggle are inclined to waive the rules, party police, called the Anyway, another rule is that a Uschia, partly attached to Himmler, neutral must not allow any act of but also under Rudolf Hess, the war to be committed within
