German Press Comment
On Allied Occupation

Berlin, Mar. 3d. dBy The Associated

Entente penalties against Germany,
moves the Boersen Zeitang to OBJ

"a shot in the. air.

with the assistance of Polish bands,
it eventually will be possible also to

before court reconyenes at $50 o.
clock toorrow morning, the jury will
visit the down town hotel where Ia
mon and the defendant for several
years. occupied adjoining rooms.
Agreement by the state to meet the
stipulation of the defense that the
furnishings of these rooms in one
of which HaIhon was killed, will be
placed as nearly as possible in the
same order as at the time of the
shooting, the court directed that the
jurors be taken there. On the, .jury's

Commerce Dept. ;,
to Be Thoroughly
ReVamped, Says Head

Washington, March 10.--The future
of the department of commerce in it's
abilities to meet the needs of trade
and industry must await,the thorough
reorganization Of the whole executive
machinery now being undertaken by
the joint congressional reorganization
committee Secretary Hoover said to-
day.
The declaration was made in Mr..
Hooyers first statement as a cabinet
member in which he announced the
policy Of his department to be one of
service and not, Of Regulation of trade
and industry" Outside of voluntary
measures, he said, the only immediate
extension of service would be in OBJ
tanning greater internal efficiency.
"In order to do service. to the great
est advantage" Mr.. Hoover said, ct
wish to establish a wider and better
organized cooperation with the trade
and commercial organizations and will
in short time present some plans to
this end. I want to see our efforts to
push our foreign commerce more
closely related to, our industries"
Such enlarged activity. he declared
was within the original purpose of
his. department and would require neil
Their additional legislation nor appro-
priation. Further burdens on the tax
payer for undertaking new work were
discouraged by Mr.. Hoover on the
ground of economy. need of reorgani-
cation and reduction of less essentials.
Touching on the necessity fo1 more
efficient governmental machinery but
not making public any of his plans
for governmental reorganization, Mr..
Hoover said the necessity had been
eased by war-created economic diff
culties. ~
The United States, he contended,
must face for many years competition
resulting from lower standard of
living which will mean production
costs lower even than before the war.
To meet this competition and maintain
it's high standards of living, he de-
clared, this country must work harder,
eliminate waste, improve it's processes,
it's labor relationships and business
methods. +,..-+- ---
