LONDON'S NEW GERMANY'S CLAIM

Holden's Subtle Skill

STONE WITH NEW TEXTURE

Recently the new "buildings of the London University in Blooms- bury began to be occupied. In thirty years from now they will probably be finished. Ten acres of buildings of a monumental charac- ter intended to last for three or four hundred years—an assembly of Portland stone bigger than St. Paul's is architecture on a scale greater than anything of the kind yet undertaken in this country. Its walls are built stone an stone without from Construction, a grey granite base, the rest of Portland stone.

As one walks round the Senate House, already, completed to the roof, which can now be seen from Tottenham Court Road, and, if so privileged. walks through its great halls and stairways and lecture- rooms, one scems to have a fore- taste of posterity. Here the brains of London for generations to come will be refried and quickened and gain direction.

may think

after thetr, scrutiny that it is the most subtly original building in London. For instance. Its surface is different from that of any other building. Mr. Charles Holden, whu' has studied Portland stone intelligently through his many buildings and pondered 'over the vagaries of its weathering, has thought out a way of conducting the rain with its impurities down the face of the edifice so that there will be no lace) stains and streaks. The

stone is mason-ruled, with

tay perpendicular channels, ǹine to the inch. down the whole build- ing, conducting the rain from top to base. These toolmarks also af- fect the refraction of the light dif- ferently from dat stone, so that the appearance of these vast mass- es of masonry will be softer and more radiant than that of the stone of other buildings. The fe of the stone will be lengthened and a saving effected, but the sthetic result will also be import- ant, and what Mr. Holden is doing to-day all London architects of Important buildings in Portland stone will probably be doing te- morrow.

Hitler's Dynamic

Proclamation

THE RIGHT TO LIVE"

The annual Naal party Congress was held at Nuremberg on Beptem- ber 9. The chief event was the reading of Hitler's proclamation.

Before the opening Herr Lutze. chief of the Storm Troops. rend the list of members of the Nazi party who had died. According to this 62 party members had been killed since the Nazis came Lo power in February, 1933. The la test list included three killed in Danzig. six in Spain, and Kerr Gutzlow, who was shot in Switzer- land.

HITLER'S PROCLAMATION

After Herr Hesse's speech, Herr Julius Streicher, Regional Leader of Nuremberg, welcomed the Con- gress, and then Herr Wagner, Re- gional Leader of South Bavaria, read Herr Hitler's opening pro- clamation. Though present, Herr Hitler, according to the Nazi tradi- tion, did not read it himself.

"Our doctrine," said the pro- clamation, has again and again been confirmed by a visible success. We can look back with pride to the achievements of the past four years, and specially to the last year. Disturbances in the coun- tries around Germany have Just Bed our policy. When we took over power in Germany in 1933 I asked for four years, after which I would ask the German people to give their judgment upon us. What would our opponents have said it we had not fulfilled our pro- Kramme?

In those four years we had more worries than all other Governments in half a century.

THE COLONIAL QUESTION "How easy it is for other Gov- eramenta to solve their economic

necessary colonial raw materials at their disposal. There will always be a scarcity of agricultural pro- ducts in Germany, but their im- port is made dificult because we must also import other vital raw materials. For this renson We must export, and it is to be re- gretted that the world does not understand this situation

difficult for us than the reduction of unemployment, in which all other Governments have failed. An improvement of the standard of living can only be achieved, to a limited extent. Not wages but pro- duction is essential. We could have increased wages by 20, 30, or 50 per cent, but without an in- crease of production it would be a self-deception.**

WHY WAGES CANNOT BE INCREASED

The proclamation then explained that it was impossible to raise wages at present. "An increase of wages and reduced production would lend to a devaluation of the currency. Increased wages and re- duced production are one of the causes of defladon. The Increase

*This is the most difficult · pro- blem we have to face. We have brought 5.000.000 people back to work, and these 5,000,000 of new

buyers are burdening the German food market. We are not so much worried about the scarcity of out- ter, but about how to keep em- ployment stable. We are nor con- cerned about the wishes of the upper ten thousand. Our concern is that the workman should get his fat, his meat, and his potatoes."

The proclamati_n then nounced a new four-year plan whereby Germany must be entire- ty independent of other countries

COLONIAL CLAIMS CANNOT BE RENOUNCED

"But, apart from that, Germany cannot renounce ner claim for å solution of her colonial demands (Prolonged applause and cheers.) The right of Germans to live is just as great as the right of other nations. This new programme is a tremendous task. But to accom- plish it is only a question of our energy. As Nazis we have never known the word 'impossible." In four years we will render our ac count to the nation on our safe- guarding of Germany's food sup ply.

"This is not a question of econo- mic liberty but a question of to be or not to be. It is a question of the independence of the German nation, Without social peace at home our programme cannot be realised. The terms 'employer or 'employee' are unimportant.

"Curiously enough," he said. "the only person who has yet noticed it was a musician."

Every feature of the great build- ing Mr. Holden has thought out for himself, with his long expert- ence of material and workmanship to guide him. The windows them- selves do not look aggressively original, yet they different from other windows, and in a com- mon-sense way. They are in sections. The lowest section, about six inches high, opens inward from the bottom so that the air coming in is deflected upwards and does not create a draft for those inside working at a deskabout that level. The section above is a casement "All this would not trouble us if window of two panes opening out-Germany had not lost her colonies. ward at a convenient height. for an ordinary person who wants to lean out. Above that is a fixed section. The top section, much the same size as the lowest one. opens inward for ventilation. The whole problem of the window has been thought out from the inside. not from the outside, as is the pre valling method in the designing of public buildings.

THE BRONZE DOORS Two of the bronze doors are in position, one facing the British Museum's entrance, the other on the west side. The openings are altaost square, the architect, hav- ing abjured the ornate high en- trance which scholastic buildings usually have as an inheritance from their religious origins, where symbols and relles were carried high in procession. These square doorways rather suggest the Lock- ing out and in of crowds of eager students. The chief entrances will

Mr. Holden's design for the Bur- face of the doors is a curious pat- tern of fat bosses and panels in varying planes, which will not be seen in its grandeur until its pro jecting parts are polished. Mean- time the general effect suggests that the architect has thought to emphasise the metallic qualities of the metal "instead of the plastic treatments that are the fashion. The lamp-standards in the street uutside a simple post with a well- proportioned vertical iron ring in which the lamp is set on top in line with the kerb are also Mr. Holden'z design.

"We are not afraid of a Bolshevi Invasion of Germany, because we are determined to make Germany so strong that she can ward off any attack from the outside with the utmost brutal determination. This is the reason for the military "measures which we have taken. These measures increase or de- crease according to necessity.
