of Russian anthracite, denied the
claim of American dealers that
forced labor was used in mining
the coal.
Belknap said the Russian coal
sells for about 81 a ton more

DANUBE CONFAB
MAY RESHAPE
EUROPE

The course of the financial
economic history of Europe over
the next few years may be shaped
at the meeting scheduled this
week enc in London between
French and British cabinet lead
ers.
While Stimulating a detached
interest in the outcome of the
meeting between Premier Ramsay
Macdonald, of England, and
Premier Andre Tardieu and FL
nance Minister Pierre Flandin.
State Department officials prl-
vately admitted this conference
may be the entering wedge for a
new political-economic alignment
of Europe.
Natura- Re-GrOupingS
Tardieu and Macdonald will
discuss the proposed Danubian
confederation, which is a mool-
fled French substitute for the
now defunct plan for an Austro-
German customs union.
The formation of such con-
federation ,ould have an I'M
portant bearing upon Europe S
economic recovery, experts mere
believe.
It would mean the beginning
of a plan long advocated oy
economists for grouping Eu-
ropean States into a series OF
natural economic regions, with
uniform tariff walls about eacn
region. rather than around each
nation. 1t would level many
trade barriers which have existed
since the Versailles Treaty.
S5O,OOO,OOO Needed
Fully as important are the in.
dications received in official
circles that England and France
are constantly drawing nearer TO
an accord on financial-economlc
problems and the promise OF CO.
operation between these nations.
Such cooperation is considered
essential for the formation OF the
proposed confederation.
The countries embraced by the
confederation-Austria, Hungary,
Jugo- o-Slavia, Czechoslovakia, and
Rumania-would require finan-
cial credit of approximately $780,
600 900 to stabilize their respec-
tive currencies, and it is believed
that France and England would
furnish that credit.

According to information re-

If this plan is followed it will

TIGHTEN LINES

BERLIN, Sept. 8 GNS0.-The
battle lines between Adolf Hitler

were definitely drawn today.
Two points stood out clearly as
each side prepared for Mondays
meeting of the Reichstag, the Sec
ond of the neWly-elected body and
the one at which Chancellor Franz
von Papen will present his govern
ment'S program.
First, Hitler's National Socialists
almost certainly will form a coali-
ton with the Catholic Centrists
Of former Chancellor Bruening
and thus present a majority rule
of the Reichstag.
Second, this Reichstag almost
certainly will be dissolved by the
chancellor Immediately after he
has read his program, a step posi-
BILE by the emergency decree
signed by President Paul Won
Hindenburg and now carried in
Won Papen's pocket, ready for use
at any time.
Such a dissolution, however,
will not dishearten the Nazis. Hit

to a fight to the end.

She was a beautiful blonde and
she was known to all Of Bern's

that it was signed August 30, 1920,
and that it designated" Bern's
wife. From another source it was
learned that the will adequately
provided for Dorothy Millette-in
fact, left practically everything to
her. o.

Uttal recalled Dorothy Millette
well.
She was a. blonde, he said, but
not the platinum blonde type of

said:
"They came to smy house
often and knew her as Paul'S
wife. All his other friends

There never was any suspicion
in my mind that they might
not be married.

woman, very intelligent"

Bern a week after the latter's
marriage to Jean Harlow.
