PRAVDA TELLS OF
PAUPERIZING OF
GERMAN TOILERS

MOSCOW, u. S. S. RI "praVda"
of April 18th publishes interesting
data on the rapid decline of German
economy under the Nazi regime. The
article, headed "The pauperization of
the German working class" reads:
On April 18th the weekly review of
the Berlin Institute of Commerce
gave an account of conditions Of Ger
man trade. The account could not
conceal the picture of the deepest
pauperization of the toiling masses
Of Germany. The income of the
working class is continuously falling
In the first quarter of 1888, the total
sum of workers wages and salaries
fell 6 per cent in comparison with
the. fourth quarter Of 1882.
No less outspoken are the data or
the turnover in the retail trade. They
testify to the sharp drop in con-
sumption of goods At the end OF
1882 the turnover had fallen 81 per
cent in comparison with 1929. The
demand for food products and heat
ing materials fell one-third. The de-
mand for clothing and textile prod
ucts as well as household articles de-
creased twice as much. The produc-
ton of consumption articles ia
dropped on the average 24.4 per
cent since 1929. Production in the
textile industry dropped 80 per cent
while production of articles for the
househol dfell 40 per cent and pro-
duction Of clothing 35.7 per cent.
1t is characteristic that in line with
the drop in the quantity of produc-
ton of articles of general demand,
there is taking place a sharp drop in
the quality of production. Industry is
converting itself from the production
of more expensive goods to cheaper
and lower quality goods as well as
substitutes; cheap cigars are driving
out the dearer ones; artificial silk
and cotton textile take the place of
wool, etc.

Meanwhile Roosevelt is having sec

Roosevelt will soon ask Congress

trade agreements with foreign powers.
it has been announced. Roosevelt
does not wish to lose any time in
catching up with Britain, who has
just made trade agreements with
Denmark and Germany.
Fighting for Peru Market
A characteristic manoeuVre now
being engineered is the steady buying
that has been going on in Peruvian
bonds by British banking houses. 1t
is reported that large orders for these
bonds have been coming in from
London houses. Majority control OF
this issue would undoubtedly give the
owners a strong advantage in trade
discussion with Peru.
This Peruvian manoeuYre of Brit
aims is particularly sharp in its hos
tility to the United States. Not only
do the British attempt to reinforce
their trade advantages in Peru, but
1t seems as if the British are plan
ming to refund Peru's external debt
on the basis of to 10 cents on the
dollar, thus reducing drastically Peru's
Indebtedness to the United States.

WASHINGTON, May 4--The Jap
anese Foreign Office yesterday told
American Ambassador Grew in Tokyo
that Japan will maintain the Open

This sudden reversal of Japanese
policy, as enunciated by the Japanese
Prlvy Councillor of Manchukuo, was
largely due to the adverse reaction
of the British government, which
brought diplomatic pressure to bear
on Japan to prevent the exclusion Of

taste of the glory Of being Fascist
dictator.
At the Fascist review celebrating

Instead, he directed that the salute
should be given to a banner which
the italian Fascist Party had pre-
scented to the British Fascists.
Mosley, formerly a member of the
British Labor Party, was leader in
the exodus of Socialist leaders to
Fascism. After the ceremony Nazi
delegates joined the British black
shirts shouting: Hail Italian, British
and German Fascisnn' The British
