A—10 GERMANY FACES ECONOMIC TASK Bxpert Sees Problem of Pre- venting Estrangement of Europe and Rest of World. BY DR. GUSTAV STOLPER. By Radio to The Star. BERLIN, September 6—Next to the purely agrarian and raw materials areas of the American, Asiatic and Australian | Continents, the present agricultural crisis affects most of the states of Southeast Europe. Rumania, Jugo- slavia and Hungary possess no indus- tries and hence they cannot, like Ger- many, ameliorate the distress of their farmers by granting them subventions at the cost of their industries. | Since the full extent of the agrarian | erisis has becom:> apparent, different plans have come to the front in all of vhese states for heading off through Joint action the danger of catastrophe. Economic distress has become so great that it even conquers political mistrust. Rumania, Jugoslavia and Czechoslo- | vakia, united in the “little entente,” | are members of the French system of | alliances, to which Poland also belongs. They all fear the revenge of Hungary, | which was mutilated in their favor, and which has assured itself of Italy's sup- rt and has also been favored at times England. | Czechoslovakia Absent. i But Rumania and Jugoslavia came to- ther in conference with Hungary at jucharest in order to discuss the re- shaping of their commercial policies. Czechoslovakia, whose attitude polit- ically against Hungary in particular is sharpest, siayed away. This, however, | was due less to political reasons than to | the different economic structure of the | te. The results of the discussions, it is true, were not very copious. It was decided to avoid mutual competition in deliveries to Western industrial coun- tries. Somewhat more came of the fol- lowing conference in Sinaja, where only Rumania and Jugoslavia came together. They drew up a plan for a customs union. But all of these things did not affect the roots of the situation and | even at a new conference the past week in Warsaw, in which Poland also par- ticipated there was little talk of a customs union, only cautious advances in that direction were made.

The agrarian countries of South- eastern Europe would like to induce Europe to accept a proposal to give their products preferential duties against the agrarian products of the lands overseas. In return therefor they would willingly admit German and Mrs. R. A.

One sees that a new and strong fac- tor arises here in favor of the French Pan-European movement and Germany is thus brought face to face with a fateful decision. Her industry needs markets in the European southwest, but she can also not permit her economic | relations with the non-European coun- tries to atrophy. Hence Germany will in any event assume the role of inter- mediary and must endeavor to prevent the policies of the East European agra- rian bloc from becoming the cause of an ecnomic estrangement between Eu- rope and the rest of the world. Whether she can succeed in doing this depends mainly on the commercial policies of the other continents. If tof British Empire—and menacing indica- | tions of this are seen—shuts itself off from imports of other British goods, if in the United States no amelioration of the protectionist system comes about, and if Asia refuses to accept European . . . butit takes unshackled wrists lo bn'lzgz't il ..

By Radio to The Star. PARIS, September 6.—Spectacular achievements by improved types of tanks were the feature of the first part of the French Autumn army maneu- | vers just concluded in the mountainous Haut Maurienne district facing the | Italian frontier. The maneuvers, to which a high degree of importance is attached, centered on an attack on the frontier town of Modane, which was defended by a skeletcn force. In all nearly 20,000 troops were engaged under the supervision of Gen. Serrigny, military governor of Lyons. The tanks began their extraordinary performance on the first day of the maneuvers, when a squadron of six descended 1,500 feet down a mountain | side strewn with boulders on an 80 per cent grade, taking completely by surprise the defending force. The tanks, supported by infantry and artil- lery machine guns, formed the “blue” forces, who were supposed to have crossed the Italian frontier theé night before in an effort to show a surprise attack could quickly gain command of the railway running from Hodale to Paris, thus establishing direct com- munications with the heart of France. Represented New Policy. ‘The skeleton opposing force accu- rately represents the recently inaugu- rated French policy—dictated largely by the reduction of compulsory service from two years to one year—of oppos- ing sudden attack by “a covering army” to hold the enemy in check until na- tional mobilization is completed. The plan is already subject to attack in many quarters, although the reorgan- On DISPLAY AT GIBSONS 917-919 G St. NW. The St. James Model One of four splendid models ced from $99.75 to $197.50.

Brecard will attempt a counter ima inary attack in force through Lorraine. This will present a much more normal situation by which' the merits of the covering army system will be more fully tested. The results of the critical examina- tion of these maneuvers are expected with interest, in view of the recent doubts cast on the merits of the plan and the intermittent nervousness lest a highly trained professional army should break through the defense be- fore mobilization could be carried out.
