OF irregularities IN the leasing to

The lands involved in the present
controversy are naval reserves Nos.

in the United States, was Sc: aside
from the public domain by Presi-

BERLIN NEWSPAPER
LAUNCHES ATTACK
UPON FOREIGNERS
Author Claims Native
Citizens Get Second
Hand Treatment.

BERLIN, April Pa bitter at
tack upon foreigners in Germany.
notably Americans and Englishmen,
has just appeared in the Berlin
Lokal Anzeiger. The attack, from
an obviously pan-German source.
hardly fits in with the strenuous ef-
forts being made by an official gov
ernment propaganda bureau, the
"Reichszentrale fuer Verkehrswer-
bunG." to attract as many foreign
ers as possible to Germany.
The attack, too, is also in direct
opposition to the pleasing custom
prevalent in Germany since the ar
mistice of charging the American all
the traffic will bear. with the unique
result that the music student from
the Middle West who. by a careful
husbandry Of her money. is able to
have years study in Berlin. is al
lowed to pay more for many things
than Hugo SHINES.
1T frequently happens" says Rolf
Brandt, the author of the attack in
the Local Anzeiger. that a foreign
er refuses the change from a 1OO-
mark note. This may be very pleas
Ing to the waiter. but sooner or
later leads to a condition in which
the native Berliner receives second
hand treatment. People prophesied 4
that Germany would become a COL
ony of the victor states-in a GER
tain sense Germany has become a
colony of the people with undepreci-
ated currencies.-
Many Such Attacks.
Herr Brandt's attack rs typical of
similar articles that arc commenc-
ing to appear with great regularity
in the reactionary Berlin press. The
chief purpose of such attacks Is OBJ
viously to throw sand in the eyes
of the average German who cannot
afford the expensive things of life
at the present time and TO persuade
him that they are being enjoyed
only by foreigners.
The real condition is. of course.
almost the exact opposite. Rerlin's
off1cial Foreigners bureau" reports
regularly that there are less than
1000 Americans in Berlin monthly.
which would hardly be enough to
fill the city's thirty tneaters and
hundreds of cafes and cabarets
nightly as they are being filled.
There are, in proportion to New
York and Paris, very few automo-
biles to be seen. but these auto
