| dc.description | Election on Nov. 12 a huge spectacle but not real election; questions so phrased that voter must vote "Yes"; vote intended to be used to home and abroad to show complete endorsement of National Socialist Party and all its actions; no candidates for Reichstag except those of National Socialist Party; Reichstag election, when leaders have proclaimed the uselessness of parliaments, an indication of hollowness of election; leaders will claim vote is expression of will for peace, at the same time they are preparing for war; [Kurt] Schmitt and [Hjalmar] Schacht still in cabinet; possibly Hitler sees wisdom of keeping a conservative element in government, even though he is more in sympathy with radicals; economic prospects not encouraging; pressure for rearmament comes not only from Party but from industry; going ahead in aircraft; Krupps increasing capacity for armament production; according to Pertinax [i.e. André Geraud] France could not fight a preventive war, because French military already afraid of German defensive action through chemical warfare; persecution of Jews continues; [Albert] Einstein's German property confiscated; U.S, must be unrelenting in combatting Nazi propaganda in America. | en_US |
