RIOT AT PARIS GALLERY
A small riot occurred yesterday at a Paris art gallery, where the
rivalry between the German and British Empires' maverick painters,
Adolf Hitler and Winston Churchill, erupted into name-calling and
then worse at their deliberately provocative parallel exhibitions.
Irrelevant blustering about Jews from Hitler were met with lengthy
rumblings drawing on England's history from the glowering cigar-
smoking Briton. Hitler then flew into one of his famous rages,
demolished his assemblage of wallpaper hangings, and bombarded
Churchill with paste buckets and brushes. He had evidently
forgotten Churchill's more substantial sculpture, "The bricklayer,"
from the shelter of which his British opponent replied with literal
brickbats.
"Mein Kampf!" muttered Hitler today from his hospital bed. "His
Gotterdammerung!" retorted Churchill from the British Embassy, where
he has retreated until the legal ramifications of the incident are
worked out.
One shudders to think what the Europe we know, peaceful since
the economic disasters of the 20's and early 30's gave way to the
coexistence of the two revived Imperial Powers, might have been like
if these two had pursued their original military careers with
similar belligerence.
