What Herr Hitler failed to do in 1923 cannot even be attempted now. Even apart from the fact that the severest trade depression is less productive of a revolutionary spirit than such catastrophic inflation as Germany experienced in 1923…the strongest protection of the State is the unity which exists among its highest executive organs…
All this does not mean that the tide of National Socialism has subsided…Everything, of course, will depend upon the course of business, which seems recently to have shown some signs of improvement.
