YOUNG PLAN FIGHT
is DUE IN GERMANY
Hitler Faction Expected to
Make Determined Attack on
ReparationS Settlement.
BY JOHN F. SINCLAIR.

two million German voters SUNDAY
showed their deep resentment Of pres
ent business conditions with 100000
unemployed by pushing Hitlers Fascist
party up from ninth place IN strength
to second and by increasing the Com
munist representation in the RelcnStae
by more than 20.
The amazing vote given to Hitler ana
his supporters causes Paris especially 10
be very much disturbed.
Hitler. Al years old formerly archi-
tect's craftsman, was born in Austria
and therefore cannot hold seat In the
Reichstag Yet his comeback since ne
declared himself dictator" OF Germany
in 1923 in a revolution which was quick
ly subdued hitler spent year IN prs
on for it, is one of the most strlKlns
in current European politics.
HitIer's Program.
But what Hitler and his group stand
Sor is what makes other nations ANXIOUS.
rrhsiY rroeram demands the nationalist
tion Of ali land. the death penalty Tor
ali guilty of usury; that all immigration
be stopped and all non-Germans eE-
pslled; that unearned income be aool-
ished. that all department stores De
cortiscated tv the state and divided into
small shops and rented at nominal
nrices to the small shop dealers ana
That the state purchase its supplies from
In addition. the Hitler group demands
that a large national army be estapllSh-
ed the equal of any in Europe that
the reparation agreement be repuoiat,
ed. that Brands proposal for a "Unlteo
states Of Europe" be scrappeo, ana lnat
ali journalists, not German cltlne t.ll
and ali literature contrary to the prln-
.I - t~,,e German nationalism be
suppressed. ,,., ~
Filters program parallels largely the
Nussolini program of Italy. Like the
italian dictator, Hitler's strength hes
in two directions-a rare gift for I'M
nassioned mob oratory and extraor-
binary organizing ability.
Against Young Plan.
oictator Bruening has been given
real setback and the German repara-
ton problem. among others. has oecone
again a live issue. For while the hltleI
party and the Communist party (tne
other party which showed the great
est gain, are at extreme ends OF Ihe
political and business picture, tney potn
agree and will work together against
TIE carving out of the Young plan OF
PREPARATIONS. .h,,,,d
Re disturbed over this latest turn Of
affairs in Germany.
Tourist Trade.
Senator Barkleyss contention with
ogden Mills. Undersecretary OF tne
treasury, that tourist trade Is no sue,
stitlte for American goods solo ABROAD
is strictly to the point.
It is the contention OF Senator BARK
lev. while many different factors enIeI
into souaring the international nnanclai
accounts, every item gong iIlOo lie
account should be analysed with view
to knowing whether it is helping or
hurting the American standard OF living.
If American tourists left S300,OOOOOO
IN Europe this year, that fund becomes
a credit which can be used by Euro
means to buy American goods, but the
Kentucky Senator makes the point tnat
such a transaction by no means Is
equal to the same amount OF American
goods going abroad.
"Tourists are not produced by Amer
ican labor, and very few American
laborers under present conditions can
become tourists" says Senator Barley.
But American goods shipped ABROAD
are produced by American labor ana
help to give employment TO millions OF
American workmen, and 1t VIII oner
moor consolation to the American
workingnan to offer him a tourist for
the goods he has manufactured Tor
foreign consumption
The point is well taken from the
standpoint of labor for 1t is from Jhe
human point Of view rather than from
the financial that Senator Barkley
speaks.
Canadian Tariff.
With the unemployment fund OF
500. 900 900 out Of the way, the BenneVt
government of Canada concentrates
next on raising Canadian UarAIi
schedules.
l have been informed by one who Is
close to the situation that the tariff Is
likely to be increased on more than lI5
individual items, centering largely
about cotton, steel, automobile, agri-
cultural implements, boot and shoe and
wooden industries.
Already a strong Canada first
movement is under way and the large
cities OF Canada are surveying the varl-
Gus fields to determine which goods can
be manufactured best in their respective
communities.
It Is a strong Nationalist movement
probably a backwash Of the Chinese
wall movement" in industry, now rising
all over the world.
The Bennett government has moved
rapidly since 1t took over the govern
ment six weeks ago. Every item que
for rise has been studied individually
and an increase Of from to 80 pei
cent is contemplated.
Unlike American schedules, which
require months of agitation in Con-
gress. the Canadian schedules can bs
put into practice in "a hours by gov
eminent decree. The new schedules
should be announced carly this week
Tariff Walls. =
The warning of William Graham
president Of the British Board OF Trade
before the Assembly of the League o.
Nations, that England could not stanc
much longer the constantly increasint
tariff walls being raised in nearly
every country in the world is timely
II the movement does not cease before
next February, the British government
too, would be forced to deal with It II
way to protect British interests, N
said
It's the first oficial warning given b!
Great Britain that the movemen
toward intense nationalism, which ha!
been developing since the war (anC
which incidentally was one Of the fac
tors making for the last war;, is on
that no nation, particularly Gres
Britain. which has for hundred year
been the great free trade nation Of tn
world, could ignore longer.
Should England embark on pro
gram of protection. undoubtedly tn
emphasis will be on getting the variou
British commonwealths into a tarif
union, which will grant large amour
of free trade within that territory, wit
protection against all goods coming il
from the outside.
So this tariff business shows itsel
up as a two-edged sword, which cut
