TRADE CALLED ONLY NAZI AIM "IN AMERICAS

‘Envoy at Pan-American : Parley Scene Denies « Political Ambitions.

By THOMAS L. STOKES Times Special Writer

PANAMA CITY, Sept. 27.—Germany has no political ambitions in North and South America, . Otto Reinbeck, German Minister to the Central American countries, said here today. ; Interviewed at the German legation, he defended his presence here, where the Pan Amrican Conference is in session, explaining that Germany has ‘an interest in the problems of trade and neutrality which are being discussed.

sentative in this part of the world. “We have no political ambitions here,” he said. “We hawe only the desire to exchange goods. “Perhaps youll be willing to trade with us,” he added, referring to the United States.

Arrival Provokes Comment

The Nazi Minister's arrival here has provoked comment and intensified feeling against Germany, already hostile as a result of the belief of many delegates that Adolf Hitler had precipitated the present European &var, and of the attempted Nazi penetration of Latim America. It served to dramatize the ‘connection between this confenence and the conflict now raging across the Atlantic. yoo . Herr Reinbeck came here from Guatemala City, where he oitctinarily is stationed. | A husky, amiable six-foeter,\he asserted that Germany has os ae mate interest in many of thei questions before the Conference. His country, he sail, has had much trade in Central and South America, and wants to pgesume it. It also is interested in the question of/neuJrality, he added.

» Hopes For Regular Traide

- e hope that the United iSitates ‘and the Latin! American cowntries will keep out of the war and| eontinue their regular trade,” hej said. “When you icontinue your |{commerce with England, we don’t| consider it”—and he groped for a‘{word —“we don’t consider that, asl you say, incompatible. But if you, are going to contibue your trade fwith England, then we see no reason} why the United States and then neutrals should not keep ‘on tr:iding with Germany.” Commenting on the proposal] before the Conference to greatly} extend the territorial waters of] the United States and Latin America, Herr Reinbeck expressed doug; as to the legality of such a maqyef unless other nations agree to it. The German Minister's staff! now consists of seven men, including a counsellor from the Guatemala City Legation, a |representative from «Santiago, Chile, and several sec‘retaries and clerks. Hérr Reinjbeck *and his associates are sending) detailed reports to Berlin. *

‘Safety Band’ Proposes * Six-Mile Battle Limit.

PANAMA CITY, Panama, Sept. 28 (U. P.).—The proposed “safety band” around; the 21 American republics would allow the warring European countries to battle within six miles of their own possessions in the Western Hemisphere, it was reported today. The “safety band” plan, designed to keep the new world, except Canada safe from the European war, was understood to have received strong support in the Pan-American neutrality conference, although some delegates moved to revise its boundaries. ‘With the United States, repre.gented by Undersecretary of State “Sumner Welles, pushing the pro‘posal on the basis of a 300-mile-deep “front” on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts, discussions centered on the possibility of “discrimination” toward Anglo-French warships. The plan, submitted to the Conference by Cuba, would allow the Allies’ surface ships to enter the gone and teritorial waters of the Pan-American countries, but would

forbid the -entrance of submarines.

This prohibition, it was said, would apply to all belligerents.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 28 (NEA). —The inside of a tank, death spitting monster of machine warfare, is- either the safest place a soldier can find in battle—or the most dangerous. : It is safe because the tank is in itself a mobile fortress; dangerous because the right defense can turn it into a holocaust of death from which there is no escape. Safe or dangerous, it is uncomfortable. The average 10-ton light tank is half as roomy as an apartment kitchenette, with a ceiling too low to stand upright. It is occupied by four men, with guns, instruments and supplies. for a day. Slightly heavier medium tanks carry five men.

Wear Head Gear

The men inside—a commander, operator, gunner and radio man — wear gear akin to football helmets as protection from the bounces. The tankman's life is far from happy. He knows effective. anti-

Shells from 37-millimeter anti-tank guns, now widely used, easily pierce one-inch armor. On direct, close hits 20 millimeter shells will stop a tank. . : i More deadly are mine fields. If a tank strikes a ground mine, there will be nothing: left but small bits. A bundle of a dozen hand grenades exploded simultaneously, will demolish a tank.

Devise Gasoline Bombs -

During the Spanish Civil War, defense forces found an even more ghastly anti-tank weapon. “Gasoline bombs’—bottles of gasoline—were hurled at the tanks. The gasoline ignited as it struck, dooming the tank crew to agonizing death. Even a crowbar, pried into the runners of the tank, will stop it— provided an enemy. infantryman can

‘get close enough. .

Light tanks carry one 37-milli-meter gun, four 30-caliber machine guns. The crew operates the radio, drives the tank and mans the guns through remote control, making it possible for one or two men to handle all the tank’s artillery.

Use Larger Tank

Most modern armies also use. a medium tank, weighing about 16 tons. This tank uses only one ‘additional ciew member. It has two extra machine guns. The medium tank can - tackle rough terrain more easily; but military men are still debating its advantages. The light tank is cheaper, more agile, can travel fast—usually about 40 miles per hour over roads.

Tanks heavier than 16 tons, used to some degree in 1914-18, have been abandoned for the most part. The United States has none.. The sphere of operations ‘of a heavy tank is strictly limited to trench

warfare.

Tank barriers, designed to snag a tank's undercarriage, protect European frontiers. If a tank is caught in one of these, the crew must abaridon the tank, set up portable machine guns. If the territory is not lost to the enemy, repair crews, which are never more. than 1000 yards behind the line, will free the tank. The business of keeping supplies and ammunition available to fighting troops is still the army’s greatest problem. For every ‘man in a tank, there is at least one more just behind the lines, ready to move up supplies and ammunition or waiting to make repairs on the tank.

Half of Men Fight

A light tank regiment {includes 223 tanks and 1887 men. About 900 of the men go into actual combat The remaining 1000 include headquarters staffs, maintenanee companies, reserves and medieal men, all close behind the scene of operations. : Principal functions of the tan are to demoralize the enemy, and to wipe out machine gun nests. What would happen if two batteries. of tanks met in-a field battle? Army men don’t like to think about it. But it isn’t very likely to happen, because the best defense against charging tanks is stationary artillery.
