LOCHNER (My Associated Press) BERLIN, June 1.—The world economic conference in London will be regarded as a success by Germany, according to authorita- tive information here, if it lowers trade barriers, stabilizes curren-} cies, removes restrictions upon the exchange of monies between coun- tries and thus points the way to relieving unemployment. Work, in this country of more than 5,000,000 jobless, is the pressing need of the common man. Tariff Barriers Decried To reduce unemployment, Ger- many will argue that artificial tariff barriers erected since the world war must fall on all sides, so ‘that normal intercourse can again take place: It will further be necessry that international regulation be ~ ef- fected for reducing the interest rate on capital borrowed before the big economic depression set in.
