Shortage in Capital | ~ Makes Hitler Riddle Of European Lineup

* Advanta es of Munich Realized Because of

Victory Only Partially Artificial Economy;

Smaller Nations Resist Hegemony.

"(Third in a Series)

By JOE ALEX MORRIS Zig United Press Foreign News Editor Nazi Germany is the greatest uncertainty in the world’ 8 fatter of peace because nobody knows what risk Fuelrer Hitler may te ke tomorrow.

Since the peace of Munich five’

months ago, the Reich has been a

doniinant power in Europe and a qussiion: mark in the international

balance toward war or peace. Herr Hitler-has declared he wants peaceful relations with Great Britain, yet by the Nazi anti- Semitic excesses and the new German submarine program he has| done more than anf other to frustrate the British appeasement program. - He has signed a nonaggression treaty with France and at the same time publicly announced that the Reich armies stand beside . Italy, which is challenging France in the Mediterranean.He has demandefl a redistribution of the world’s wealth in favor of Germany, Italy and Japan,:y yet there is reason to doubt that German aid —without which Italy is vulnerable —would mean more than neutzality or indirect assistance in event of a Mediterranean conflict or: a Japanese war. against Soviet Russia. :

[Economic Expansion Slow ; He has been given an almost free hand: in economical domination: ‘of ‘Eastern Europe and so far—mainly due to ‘lack of capital—has: proved surprisingly weak in efforts to establish Nazi political and commercial hegemony over an area which the Reich must rule 10 avoid starvation in event of wat;:” He has denied fiirther territorial ambitions in Eiirope, yet Nazis haye been responsible for persistent tation and rumor alarming every Eastern European nation in the path of a. proposed great .Ukrainia to be carved out of Poland, .Rumania, Hungary, Czechoslovakia and Soviet Russia. As one attempts in these dispatch es to correlate and clarify the uncertain pattern of peace since Munich, he finds various explanations ‘to choose from in explaining Ger- - many’s coniradictory-actions.. - Prom fhe alarmist viewpoint, most frequently expressed by the Soviet press, Herr Hitler is preparing as rapidly as possible with | the. co-0p-eration of Maly and Japan to wage war against Great Britain, France and Soviet Russia. 3 Manpower Is Wealth ~~ Prom the viewpoint of the Nazi press, Herr Hitler is the most powerful factor in the world for peace if only Germany is given “room to live,” which means either- colonies or a greater share in world trade. ' There is, of course, a third and more reasonable explanation of what has happened. After Chancellor . Hitler came ‘into: power, .Germany

"made a tremendous national effort

to rearm. The Jact that she was a ‘bankrupt nation, unable to live normally without borrowing, made it neeessary -to resort to drastic fotali‘tarian method; to establish an. artificial or controlled economy.

Herr Hitler had no capital except | manpower, he put everybody tol

work. The factory wheels turned again. Highways were built. Fortifications were erected. Arms and airplanes were produced. - But to-do ‘these things, the Reich had to put foreign trade on a barter basis in ‘ortier to preserve its scanty capital to’ buy essential non-German war ‘materials. It had to reduce and fix wages at a subsistence level. It had to. peg prices. It resorted to confiscation of. large share of - Jewish

~ ‘wealth—severely dislocating business

‘as well as causing hostility abroad— -and it had to call upon its own peoj r for exorbitant taxes and loans “to the Government. : Deficiency Accentuated

i “Nevertheless, Herr Hitler achieved iis main objective and, when the ble four met at Munich, he was in a sition to get his way because of e disaster that the Nazi air force ment have caused in event of war. Jn this way, the Sudetenland as well ‘48 Austria was brought within GerJpany’s frontiers, the ring of steel ‘around the Reich was destroyed and the way was opened for Nazi hegemony over Central Europe. The ‘Reich, Herr Hitler boasted, was now dmpregnable. But the pattern since Munich was far less. in the Nazi design than seemed ‘probable five months ago. The principal reason for that has ‘been fundamental Nazi difficulty— Jack of capital and an artificial ‘economy. ~The annexation of Austria and the Sudetenland added greatly fo Nazi prestige and, under normal condi ‘tions, might have strengthened her “political and economic power. But ufider the totalitarian system put i effect by Herr Hitler, Ger- . .many’s great need was for raw ‘materials and food. Instead of filling needs, Austria and the Suienland added more of the same 3 the highly industrialized German ‘a@onomy and brought 10 million more mouths to feed. The need for capital increased.

Small Nations Unbowed

Thus, these two great conquests 1938 merely intensified the funip iflammenal difficulties of the Reich - order to add about 10 per cent o- her potential fighting population. unpublished internal debt went x higher and the latest issue of bonds was absorbed only under cémpinion Taxes were boosted again

aul they are about 15 per cent of’

the average small income and prob-

Dr. Hopkins and |

ably : 15 per cent, of the population J

depen: is on its livelihood in some way on the state or Nazi Party.. It is true that the small nations of Central and Eastern Europe listen to the voice from Berlin. But Nazi foreign trade has @ropped off still more and, in his speech to the Reichstag in January, Herr Hitler warned that Germany must “export or die.” The barter system is too one-sided (in favor of the Reich) to work efficiently as a means of bringing raw materials and food into Germany except with nations that can be brought under pressure fo open their frontiers as a dumping ground for German manufacturers. Again the Nazis lack necessary capital. Still more important is the fact

.|that ‘Great Britain and France,

with huge ‘resources, have begun rearming on a vast scale. The weak nations must watch the balance of power, and. in both Poland and Rumania Fuehrer. Hitler -has met real obstacles. Hungary has dissolved the Nazi Party—although German pressure at. Budapest must not be underrated—and even Czechoslovakia has aroused bitier comment in Berlin for failure to fit itself © | completely. into the Nazi orbit. Furthermore, Herr Hitler's longstanding dream of opening the vast resources of the Ukraine to German exploitation (the answer fo. most of the Eeich’s difficulties) could be realized only by the greatest risk of all—a gamble on Soviet . Russia’s unknown defensive strength. These factors are far from meaning that Nazi Germany is in danger of cracking up, ecoromically :or otherwise. They do mean that the Reich is still seeking the colonies or the foreign trade necessary to her existende as a great power and that she must put a still greater strain on her economy if she attempts to maintain superiority of aerial armaments and use that aay; antage as she did at Munich. One alternative is strike eastward at once by armed force. as rumor has predicted. Another is the British appeasement plan which Hitler ‘has ighored! sifice Mudie 1.
