BERLIN, May s. - Remarkable
price increases. with growing short

couple Of weekes in manifesting
themselves. they had become fairly

In connection with the matter OF

lie does not realize that the masses
OF money America made before her

that there IS no great fluid mass of

America faces high taxes and doesn't
want them increased through foreign
