Incredible Joy

A report that Adolf Hitler was hitting the bottle reached London last week. It was only a rumor, like the report that Hitler was ill and could not make speeches.

There was better evidence that tubby, slobbery Dr. Robert Ley, Leader of the Nazi Labor Front, was at it again. Dr. Ley, of whom Germans say "Wenn der Ley spricht, regnet's" (When Ley speaks, it rains), provided the evidence in a broadcast from Berlin, during which he also expressed considerable concern for Adolf Hitler's health.

Ley hiccupped and belched, shouted, muttered, got his sentences mixed up. Not much of his speech was intelligible, but some of it seemed to indicate that his celebration was the result of a session with Hitler. "I saw the Fuehrer yesterday," he shouted thickly. "I had the incredible joy of being with him for the whole day. I can only tell you--" Here Ley's voice broke, but he recovered, went on: "We do not complain, oh Fate! Take whom you will as a sacrifice! . . . But spare us one! Preserve for us the health and strength of our Fuehrer Adolf Hitler!"
