J —What will happen to German v when President Paul von Hir*denburg. the grand old man of war and the post-war years, dies? That is what many people long have been asking. For. viewing Germany during the last decade, it ap*med at times that only the burly frame of the ancient field marshal now 86 - stood between order and chaos. Already in some informed quarters the death of ' Der Alte,” as far as it concerns the Hitler regime. is discounted Certainly under the terrific impart, of Hitler and his forces, Hindenburg's prestige has dminished. Rumor assorts that his faculties are declining Cruel anecdotes are told, including the one of the workman w*ho is supposed to have left his lunch, wrapped in paper, in one of the rooms of state in the presidential palace in Wilhelmstrasse. now under repair. "What’s that paper?" demands an aid of the President. "It’s a workman's lunch." he is informed. "Take it away, quirk,” the aid commands, "before the old man signs it!" One power, Hindenburg’s defenders point out, still remains out of Nazi hands, in the grasp of the president. That is the reichswehr. that grim, technically proficient, militarily convincing body of 100.000 men. any one of whom is reputed officer-material. True, comes the answer. But the reiehswehr owes fundamental allegianee not to any one man, but to Germany itself. Who controls Germany, controls the reichswehr. a a a NOR ean It be ignored that Hitler commands approximately a million armed men himself. This force consists, according to general reckoning, of 600,000 S. A. iSturm - Abteilung—"brown shirts"), 200.000 S. S. •Sehutz SiafTeln black-uniformed Hitler bodyguard and strong-arm squad* and 200.000 .members of the Stahlhelm and other private armips now in process of incorporation with the Nazis. So. some people argue, the political power of Hindenburg becomes more and more academic. Those rash enough to attempt to predict the future perceive a project on the part of Hitler to enlarge the presidential powers constitutionally. to be followed by assumption of office himself, with Hermann Goering, big. blond, dynamic Hitler adjutant, in Hitler’s present office of chancellor. The future trend of German economic policy perhaps can be surmised irom the economic and political facts at hand. A basic fact is that Germany, despite her most ardent nationalistic yearnings. is not economically self-re-liant. But there is no good reason to believe that Germany is main-

Nazi youths go forward ... to build anew Germany. taining. or can maintain, her export markets, much less improve them, just now. Asa banker observed to this correspondent, "German goods are not fashionable these days." Political developments, principally, of course, the persecution of the Jews, have gone far to kill Germany’s exterior distribution. In Munich, where the perfect beer is brewed, not a case was sold to the beer-avid United States from the middle of May through three weeks of June, according to American trade authorities. This is not the time when the world in general feels like starting to "buy German.” B b a POLITICALLY isolated by Jewish and Catholic persecution and the world’s distrust, fixed on the gold standard for equally political reasons, yet dependent on the outside world for economic improvement, Germany simply can’t expect immediate recovery, competent authorities declare. But Hitler Is fully aware of this, and he has an answer for it. Granting that the national standard of living must fail, let Germany accept the sacrifice in patriotic mood. Such, on high authority, is Hitler’s purpose. Germany's great need, in the Nazi analysis, is not to rise above depression, but to assert German self-respect by finally gaining a larger share of the worlds future. Let depression continue, Hitler virtually preaches, if by so doing Germany's next generation can gain her “place in the sun”—return of her colonies, cancellation of the Versailles treaty, and readjustment of her eastern frontier Meanwhile, the Nazis hope to make Germany self-dependent in war-time at least. She lacks five essential commodities for this: cotton, copper, petroleum, alcohol and rubber Aluminum is being substituted for copper where possible. Artificial petroleum is being produced. Alcohol is being made from potatoes. Germany is

progress. Similar demonstrations of the ”N. S. B. O." are going on among’the workers all over the Rhineland and in the neighboring Ruhr. Tlie N. S. B. O. is the Nazi organization of workers’ "cells" which are hoped to supplant the labor unions in industrial Germany. The men are respectable lowerclass folk, not yet in uniform. Their term of probation before they can become full-fledged Nazis is long. They all wear Nazi armbands, however. The procession strings lengthily along the Rhine. There are thousands marching, thousands who used to be Socialists, thousands who are Catholic. There is no animation. You can’t detect zest. The men plod. But they are conforming. They are bowing to Nazi "Gleichschaltung"—unification The bands play the Horst Wessel song. The sound echoes back from the walls of the cathedral. Overhead, the toy balloons soar crankily tiny, bright-colored frivolous globes. "Germany’s future is in the air,” says Goering. He seems to be right.

MILLION GIVEN JOBS BY CODE Estimate Does Not Include Workers Under Unmodified Blanket Pact. BY' RI'TH FINNEY Time. Special Writer WASHINGTON. Aug. s.—Between I 1.000.000 and 1.500.000 persons have ' been put back to work by codes of fair competition already in effect, by temporary code agreements and by industries that have come under the blanket code with some modification. This estimate does not take account of workers re-employed by firms which have put the President’s re - employment agreement into effect individually without modification. No figures have been compiled on this group, though the number undoubtedly is large. Eleven industries now are operating temporarily under terms of the ! cotton textile code while waiting to draw agreements of their own. Two other industries are operating under completed codes and a ; third is waiting only the President’s approval. Nineteen other large business groups have entered, as groups, ! into re - employment agreements slightly different from that promulgated to cover industry generally.

Oscar Maaas’ story that he just l can't keep fish from jumping out of the water Into his boat today had the kind of corroboration that counts. The angler and a boatload of his Rochester friends were rowing on French lake near here as Maass recalled “it was just such an evening as this, back in 1922 or 23. when a bass came shooting out of the water and plumped right into the boat.” "Uh huh," one unbeli°ver drawled. "Then in '26 a big perch flipped up and fell back into the boat." "We’ve heard all that,” interrupted another ungracious guest. "Go on.” Instead, there was a splash.

PRAISES TIMES’ POLLUTION WAR IN RADIO TALK Sportsmen League’s Head Sees Public Rising to End Menace. Praise for The Times for Its senes of stories calling attention to India;, i lake and stream pollution was ; - >d by Howard M Meyer, president nf United Sportsmen ! 'lnc * of Indiana, m an address Friday night over WKBF ’Public interest in the war against polluters of the streams and lakes has been increased magnificently by the series, ’ he said. "In substance. The Times' articles absolutely were right, for the health , and happiness of every man, worn- ! an and child in the state is in gra’.e | peril because of the infested j waters of the state. | "Few are the streams that are not polluted bv industrial and municipal waste poured into the streams through sewers and ditches Hunters and fishermen going out from the congested district were the first to see the disaster threatening the state from pollution. Hurls Brand of "Tin God” "A puny little saffron-colored sheet down in Scott county said of the fishermen who complained of the big white-clothed tin-cod’ destruction of the Muscatatuck: They are the class who toil not. neither do they spin.’ "The little periodical referred to represents a warped viewpoint, if ; any, all too common among the spineless class of publishers and ; others who are under the thumb of someone or more industrial racki eteers who can prosper only so long as they can loot a community of j its human and other natural resources. “Sportsmen, conservationists and ; all other decent people welcome this day when a metropolitan daily newspaper chooses to tell the truth j about a vicious state of affairs that lias existed too long already." State Is Ilandieapped Meyer pointed out that the conservation department is handicapped in enforcing the law. which makes stream polluting only a mis- | demeanor, by the fact prosecutions ! must l>- brought in the county j where the offense is committed, | wherein the Industrial "racketeer" operates and wields his powerful influence, through campaign contributions to each of the major parties. This makes it apparent, he said, when a polluter, by chance is conj victed that he is fined only $25, the minimum. Rails at State Board "The state board of health has been, and wp have no proof that it i is not now. a creature of politics, and we welcome tha day. if it ever comes, when the hsalth board attempts to do what we are told it can do—stop pollutions. “In any such attempt, the board may depend on undivided support of every genuine sportsman in th© state.” Meyer said that while an effort Is being made by the state to end pollution, its employes relatively are I inexperienced in this work, adding ! that promises now being made by some of the worst industrial offenders sound like the same promises made in years gone by. Industries’ Threats Absurd "Threats of industries that they will leave a community if their inhuman practices are not meekly tolerated are utterly absurd." Meyer cited as proof of his charges that the state government is playing "too much partisan politics," the discharge of one of the bestknown sportsmen in the state- -Gary Winders, whom, he said, two men were hired to replace.
