To read the unemployment figures In
the German newspapers you would
think that Hitler has done better than
Roosevelt. They say the unemployed
army has been reduced from around
five millions to two millions. The trick
in that is that Hitler has transferred
most of the jobless into an organized
army where they do a little work for
the state and receive the equivalent OF
about 10 cents day in black bread
and poor food.
Employment Provided.
The fundamental private employment
situation IS thus temporarily quieted
but not cured
The business situation IS suffering
from the Jewish boycott. Germany's
nfavorable trade balance is an ever
creasingly below last year.
This has caused Hitler to try easing
up on the JetDs. Many Israelites are
being sdDed by the tntercession OF
prominent Ndzis. So often hare Nazi
officials come to the dictator with
prirdte appeals for Je1OiSh friends
that Hitler recently remarked pri-
Ddtely: "There must be $1,000 900
many haze sought intercessions NTH
me through my associates"
War preparations are supposed to
have been started in German labor
atories long before Hitler came into
power He has accelerated them.
Chancellories throughout Europe sus-
pect the Germans are probably better
equipped in chemical science than any
other nation now.

Senate Investigators May
Determine if Probe Is to

BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
In the midst of preparations for
opening tomorrow an inquiry into tho
Chase Securities Corporation, Senate
investigators today were taking another
glance at operations OF Dillon, Read &
Co. which may result in reopening that
case.
Members of the committee have di-
rected the investigating stan to review
evidence collected in connection with
Dillon, Read & Co.'S gigantic transac-
tlons involving the Dodge Motor Co.
ana the National Cash Register Co.
Important Facts Likely.
Committee members expressed the
belief the inquiry into the Chase Sc
curlties Corporation investment affiliate
OF the Chase National Bank, which has
been underway secretly for many
months, would provide the most i'm
portant disclosures Of the present series
of hearings.
The central figure will be Albert H
Wlggn, former chairman. who played
an important role in Americas finan-
cial world leadership after the war.

mass OF data in connection with Dillon.

operations, but reported it had found
nothing in them that would be of
particular interest to the investigating
group.
Some Of the Senators asked, how
ever, to have the evidence reviewed
again to make sure it contained Moth
ing that should be publicly aired.
Reopening Uncertain.
The Dillon-Read inquiry was closed
last week and will not be reopened
unless the current review Yields inn
portant disclosures.
Clarence Dillon, chief witness in that
inquiry, was the only important banker
who has testified before the committee
for several months who was not asked
about his personal income tax returns,
His friends said he was anxious to
be questioned in this regard because
in contrast with j. P. Morgan. Otto
H. Kahn and others who have testified
they paid no tax during recent years.
Dillon paid taxes throughout the de.

PARK EMPLOYEES
MAY Be SHIFTED
New Set-Up Possibly Will
Give $50 Rating of
Field Workers.

The $50 employees of the National
Capital Parks, under the Office OF Ma
tional Parks. Buildings and Reserva-
tions. Interior Department, today faced
the possibility that they may be classi-
fed, under the new set-up, as field en-
ployes, rather than departmental. This
would remove them from jurisdiction Of
the Civil Service Commission they fear
When these workers were in the now
abolished Office of Public Buildings and
Public Parks, they were classed in the
departmental service.
Inasmuch as Secretary Ickes now has
on his desk the appointment of C.
Marshall Finnan as the new superin-
tendent Of the National Capital Parks,
to have charge of Washington's park
system. there Is a question as to whether
he shall be named in the field Of de-
partmental service. If the prospective
superintendent becomes field man-as
are the superintendents in Yellowstone.
Yosemite and other national parks
there is likelihood that his employees
here would likewise be classified as in
the field service.
If this is to come about. employees
would be subject to transfer to points
throughout the country.

the Disarmament Conference was
sounded today by the Archbishop Of
Canterbury.
The adoption of any alarmist attitude
would be mistake, said the Most Rev.
Cosmo Gordon Lang in addressing the
Canterbury Diocesan Conference.
1.-The very last thing we wish," con-
tinued the speaker, "is to encourage
the talk, already too common and al
ways foolish, of the imminence of war.
It is the time rather when we should
abstain from all exaggerated language
and help our statesmen think out their
position In quietness."
Expressing the opinion the German
governments main desire now Is to
secure a vote Of confidence Of the Ger
man people for its attitude, the arch
bishop thought it possible wiser coun-
sels" would prevail when that vote Is
secured.
"In any case" the archbishop added,
Germany cannot withdraw from the
League before two years have elapsed
and during hat interval much may
happen to save the situation"

instructions had been sent to Davis in
regard to disarmament efforts.
The attitude of the department was
that this country had gone to Geneva
purely for disarmament rather than
political reasons, and that it continued
ready to aid in any way it could.
Nevertheless. it was indicated this
country desired to observe the course
taken by European nations which have
played headline roles at Geneva before
stating publicly its own course. 1t was
reiterated, however, that if there was
any possible way of continuing a pro-
gram for general disarmament, the
United States would offer its aid.
Communication Explained.
The State Department later made
public a letter from Davis to Lord
Cecil, explaining the communication
transmitted previously from Secretary
Hull had been written before Ger
many's withdrawal from the Disarma-
ment Conference.
The text follows:
1.-THE message which sent you under
yesterdays date from the Secretary Of
State was sent and received by me
before announcement was made of Ger
many's withdrawal from the disarma-
ment conference. y
Had this message been sent after
this event it would no doubt have been
somewhat differently worded.
Il see no reason, however, to suggest
that the message be recalled because,
while the action of Germany may alter
the situation and make the task more
difficult, a solution of the disarma-
ment problem Is in my opinion Of such
vital Importance that every effort
should still be made to achieve It,"
Text of Letter to Cecil.
The first text of the letter addressed
by Mr.. Davis to Lord Cecil follows:
1.-The Secretary of State, on behalf of
you his sympathetic interest in the
mass meeting which is to take place
on Sunday and to express his belief
that this imposing demonstration Of
the aspirations of millions who are
looking to the conference to take a
decisive step toward reducing arma-
ments will constitute solemn re-
minder to the representatives Of the
nations of the world that they must
not allow the conference to fail.
Fortified with the knowledge that
world opinion Is backing them in their
difficult task, they should redouble their
efforts to overcome the obstacles which
are still blocking their path and bring
about the constructive achievement
which mankind confidently awaits"
Meanwhile, Phillips reported the re-
ceipt of statement from Ambassador
Dodds In Berlin that as q result of his
protests to Foreign Minister Won Neu-
rath Of Germany against mistreatment
Of American citizens by Nazis. assur-
ances nad peen received that those

Z you cannot believe much Of the
" news you get from Germany
these days. Hitler has the
i press by the throat.
His regime lets out only what
it considers favorable and lets in vir-
tually nothing at all The average Ger
man knows less about what Is going on
in the outside world than the average
native in Darkest Africa. Similarly we
know that little about the true condi-
ton there.
A fairly authentic inside survey of the
situation can be pieced together from
several confidential reports recently re-
ceived here. These come from offici !.
and unofficial personageS whose names
cannot be divulged, but who have lately
come from Germany and know whereof
they speak. Their views can be sum-
married. as follows:
Hitler commands mildly enthusi-
GStic lip-serDice from 80 per cent of
the German people. There is no
opposition. Travelling through Ger
many you would think he is as pop
ular as Mussolini in Italy. That stu
alton is amply illustrated by letter
from Berlin Jep to his cousin in
NeD York
The Jew said: Hitler is a fine man.
Everything is fine here. We are all
very happy P. S.-Brother Isadore
held q contrary view. We buried him

at Large, against an adjournment OF
the Disarmament Conference was an
nounced today at the foreign cf1ce. .
The completion Of a disarmament
convention along the lines already
drawn, despite the German withdrawal
from the conference and the League OF
Nations was viewed officially as the best
way out of serious situation"
The four-power European peace pact,
French officials said, was scuttled when
the Reich, which with the other three
powers had agreed to do its utmost to
make the conference a success, abruptly
walked cut.
It further was stated that the pact
was tied indissolubly with the League
which Germany is leaving.
The French government. it was said
believes an arms convention should be
drawn up and presented to Germany
for acceptance or rejection.
