The Sarr question is, ond of the evil legacies of the Treaty of Ver- sailles. With all their coal minor in northern France wrecked during the German army's occupation, the French at Versailles demanded the annexation of the Saar as compen- sation.

To-day the chances are still that the majority will vote that way, but nothing is aure. The Jews, the trades unionists and the Socialinta are all bitterly against being in- corporated in a Nazißed Germany. Many Catholics, secing what has happened to their brethren in Germany, are also veering around. The population of the Saar is over- whelmingly an Industrial one and overwhelmingly Catholic.

At the time Hitler Ehrenbreitatein, Braun organized was addressing his followers at a meeting of 60,000 Saarlanders. He has joined hands with the Communists in fighting return to Germany.
