Believed Among Hitler's

Serious Worries.

LONDON, May 25 (U, P.).— _ British leaders said today that there is “cause for optimism” in recent changes in Germany's agricultural, industrial and political situation.

Characteristically suspicious of reports from German sources—informed quarters said the “news from Germany is good—but not t-0-0 good,” and warned against over-optimism. Observers believed the German agricultural front presented the most serious crisis of Adolf Hitler's regime. They said the replacement of Dr. Walther Darre as minister of food and agriculture by his under-secretary, Herbert Backe, signified virtually complete disrup“tion of Germany's “blood and soil” policy. Many Crops Winter-killed

Progressive shortages of labor, fertilizers and seed, unfavorable weather, antipathy and instances of outright resistance among European peasants are regarded as a serious threat to Hitler. An extremely severe winter killed much of Germany’s crops, particularly barley. April frosts destroyed much of the central Europe wheat crop and spring sowing is behind schedule. Darre’s “erstaz” fertilizers were a failure and the effect now is being felt. Unless Backe can reform the agricultural system radically and quickly, observers said, the Reich may experience an acute food crisis by winter.

Political Trouble Hinted

There were puzzling political reports from Germany, but informed sources said German propaganda might be putting them out to create an impression of political difficulties. The Germans broadcast to the world that 14 persons had been arrested at Mannheim for treason, but the report was suppressed within Germany. Hitler's sudden return to Berlin, at the start of his long-awaited spring offensive against Russia, was without plausible explanation. Ostensibly he returned as a mourner for Carl Rover, a Nazi gauleiter ' unknown outside Germany.

His Mother Dead, He Buys a Bond

SOUTH BEND, Ind., May. 25 (U. P.).— German-born Willie Sammert is 44 years old, but he hoped today the land of his adoption might find some use for him in the army. Back in 1921, Sammert, who had been a machine gunner in the Kaiser's army, left Germany for a land where a man could get a “decent living in decent surroundings.” It was his mother’s birthday, and the young Sammert .promised his mother he would return to visit her some day. He came to South Bend, opened a tavern-restaurant, and became an American citizen. Saturday, Sammert walked into a bank and laid down the money for a $500 war bond—money he had saved to fulfill his promise. “My mother is dead,” he told Teller A. F. Hauck, “and America is next in my heart to her.”

Axis to Influence

Latin-America.

By WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Scripps-Howard Foreign Editor WASHINGTON, May 25—With

Mexico's entry into the war against] i

the axis, now regarded as inevitable, this week,may be a milestone in the progress of ‘the world conflict and a turning point in Pan-Ameri-can relations. After Brazil, Mexico has the

largest population of any of the

Latin American countries. She is

the only“one sharing a frontier with us. Being the closest to us, relations between her and the United States are regarded as a sort of yardstick. . Intervention on our side at this time, therefore, would profoundly influence every country down to Cape Horn. .

Would Influence Others

Mexico and the United States have fought each other more than once. Mexico has probably been more critical of the United States than all of the others put together. So if Mexico comes in on our side now, the other Latin Americans will be inclined to think that the cause for which the United States is fighting must be all right, Mexieo’s stand may effect Brazil’s attitude no little. The largest of all the American republics, including the United States, and the most populous of the Latin American countries, Brazil is on the most friendly terms both with Mexico and ourselves.

Demonstrate Against Axis

She broke off relations with the axis powers following the conference at Rio. Like Mexico, her merchant marine has been attacked by Nazi U-boats and her police have had to intervene more than once to stop popular = demonstrations against axis places of business. What Mexico does, however, is not expected to have much influence on Argentina and Chile, especially the former. The Argentine congress will meet Thursday, the same day the Mexican congress is scheduled to vote on a declaration of war. But that fact is not likely to change Argentina’s course.

HALF OF AUTOS OFF ROAD IN 30 MONTHS?

WASHINGTON, May 25 (U. P.). —About half of the automobiles in the United States are expected to disappear from the highways in the next 30 months, the war production board estimated today. As the family jallopy’s weary motor gives out, as its irreplaceable tires grind away and the flow of gasoline is choked off, the WPB hopes that it will find its way to that familiar eyesore—the automobile graveyard. But not for long; it will be off to the war. Uncle Sam can use a Jjallopy—if it’s of average weight it will yield 1500 pounds of vital steel. Then with the addition of 1500 pounds of fresh pig iron, it will be run through a production machine and out will come 16 37-mm. guns or 2500 hand grenades or 60 100-pound bombs. On May 1, this year, the WPB estimated that approximately 1,500,000 discarded cars were in 20,000 grave yards. In the next 60 days all of them are expected to be turned into scrap for the nation’s war machine.

WORKERS OF 3 MORE FIRMS BUYING BONDS
