At the moment Germany is bend
ing every effort to cement all factions
for the settlement Of reparations
difficulties the country Is girdled by
q zone Of Unrest created by Fascisnlo.
Orninous reports from East Prussia
complete the ring, which begins in
Schleswig-Holsetein and includes the
Rhineland. Bavaria and Silesia. Czech
.celovakia, Hungary and Poland are
seething with Fascismo, much to the
worriment of Germany.
The alarming reports from East
Prussia began with the dismissal Of
two members OF the Landsrat for
alleged nationalistic activities. This
was the signal for an uprising OF the
Agrarians, consisting largely of the
old Baltic baronial class. They have
issued an ultimatum refusing to make
grain deliveries unless the members
were reinstated.
At the same time the Nationalists are
making great drive for the autonomy
OF East Prussia with a status like that
OF Canada. charging that the Socialist
Federal Government Is not representa-
two OF the territory. The Socialist
town council OF Koenigsburg defeated
a resolution for autonomy by narrow
majority. after bitter fight. The Ma
tionalists are preparing for a new at
tack In the peoples council, which Is
two-thirds Nationalist.
Seek Lost Territory.

IN Schleswig and Silesia aim at the re-
covery of territory lost In plebiscites

clashes.

of Adolph IIitler's Fascist, and recent
revelations to tho effect that Erhardt

between the democratic Government and
tho south to widen aiarmingly. The
eeparatist movement in the RhincInnd
has progressed to point where Amer

, leader who held meetings in Kadel-
bach. in American occupied territory.

Dispatches from Prague say that Gov
ernnent officials have been warned OF
a coup planned by the Fascist and re-
enforced by organizations IN Austria.
Bavaria. Saxony and Silesla. The In
fluence Of the Fascist there is becom-
ing more and more apparent, their In
tention being to prevent the domination
OF pan-German elements. German ma
tionalists have been active. particularly
In tho Czech Parliament.
