Hess’s mind when he' decided to fly to Britain, says Walter Tschupplk In “The Spectator.” He must-have been revolving that hazardous plar from the moment when Hitler realised that Germany cbuld no win the war, that is to say,; since last ;autumn’s Battle over Britain] that abortive nrelpde to the Intend­ ed iiivaslon of England- From that moment bn Hitler had Irrevocably lost all hope of ending the war by a lightning; stroke] His armlei! might .win. victories oh the contin ­ ent, but'this could not bring the war to a speedy! close. The proJ- longatlon of the'war, with all tha; it involved, soon' led to discussions within leading political, i military and ecbnomlc circles in Germany. I Hitler Is to-day In exactly the same hopeless situation In which he found himself just before he decided to fire the Reichstag and pose as the “ saviour of civilisation from Bolshevism” .(adds the cor- tespondent).. From the many critf leal situations In which he has been placed. Hitler has always had the same means of extricating himself L_blackmall. > It Is now perfectly clear what Hitler now alms at In his policy towards Soviet Russia. Once again he hopes to blackmail 'and Intimidate the world: “ Inter national chaos, or Hitler.”
