"Germany is not going to break the treaty of Versailles," said Baron Kurtvon Tippleskirch, Boston's German Consul General, in an interview with the CRIMSON. "But if the victorious Allied Powers continue, as heretofore, to disregard their own solemn pledge to disarm given in that Trenty, their attitude can, in my opinion, not be construed but to represent a flagrant violation and rupture of the very same Treaty. The whole responsibility thus lies exclusively on the shoulders of those victorious powers.

"Regarding Germany's withdrawal from the League of Nations, I do not feel that I could say it has brought her any closer to the United States. It is, however, clear that Germany by her withdrawal from the League has placed herself, with respect to that organization, in the same situation which is occupied by the United States of America. If the United States is in the position to co-operate with the League in an endeavor to bring about disarmament, the same possibility will be open for Germany, in case a serious effort in that direction should eventually be made. As the German Foreign Minister has expressly stated, the purpose of the German Government in departing from the League is not to turn its back on a policy of peace but on the contrary to give a new impulse to a true and useful peace policy."

When Baron von Tippleskirch was questioned concerning the current rumor that big English bankers and the House of Morgan in this country had financed the Hitler Revolution, he answered, "I think is is just a rumor like other rumors and without any foundation. Besides, had foreign bankers meant to keep German workers subjugated by financing the Hitler Revolution, this would indeed betray an extremely poor judgment. Hitler's aim in by no means to subjugate the German workman, but to lift him to his proper-position within the larger community of the German people. Hitler feels himself personally much nearer to the German workman and peasant than to any other part of the German people. He is even quite often called not Reichskanzler, Chancellor of the Reich, but Volkskanzler, Chancellor of the People.

"Capitalists such as Krupp are certainly not the dominating influence in the third Reich. People who are holding an opposite view, evidently forgot that the aims of the Hitler Government are not only national but as well socialistic. For the purpose of supporting the National Socialistic Party organization the help of the so-called capitalists is neither desired nor needed. The dues paid by the members of the Party are amply sufficient to supply that want.

"The most important achievement of the Hitler Government consists in my opinion in having united the German people and in having filled it with new hope and new confidence. The too numerous political parties of Germany have been abolished. The administration of the country has been considerably simplified, a matter which had formerly been suggested by the allied Reparation's Agent in Berlin. The unemployment situation has been very considerably improved. For the first time in many years the number of unemployed has not increased but, instead decreased in the months of October and November. The general business conditions accordingly have become distinctly more hopeful, though, of course, a final recovery is possible only in coincidence with that world-wide economic improvement for which we all hope."
