Among the worth while things

Friedrich Ebert.
In all his statements to the press,
Herr Loebe emphasized the distrust
caused abroad when Nationalist oppo-
sition to the Locarno security pact
became known. AS soon as news Of
this opposition and the resultant po-
litical crisis reached the United
States, he says. German financial ne
