$4,148,774, while the Lehigh argues It
should pay $3.50, ,562 instead Of 81, ,652,-
240, asked by the State.

Hitler, in almost the same

the form of a bi-lateral settlement

Litvinoff, his year crowned with
success by American recognition

NEW YORK, Dec. 3.-The
world made distinct progress in
breaking the ice of economic re-
covery in 1888, after the big
freeze Of the years 1929 to 1892.
Statistics gathered by the
League of Nations indicated that
recovery in production and en-
ployment was moving forward,
despite war scares and currency
frights.
If international cooperation to-
ward stability failed to materialize
at the disarmament conference, or
the economic conference, progress
through individual negotiation
was not lacking.
America Spectacular
The spectacular developments in
the United States, such as aban-
donment of the gold standard, and
Inauguration of business, agricul-
tural Adjustment administrations,
held the worlds attention. The
sweeping recovery in American IN
dustrial production from April to
July was the most striking econom-
ic development in 1888.

WORLD BECOMES HEARTENED
AS 1884 DAWNS ON SIGNS
ECONOMIC 'UNFREEzING''

Great Britain appeared farthest
along the road to recovery. In
that country, recovery had gone
forward since early 1882, and had
achieved extraordinary results by
the end of 1888. Employment
reached the best levels in three
years.
Germany Shows Gains
Under its nazi regime, Germany
became the most vigorous element
in continental Europe. German
statistics indicated notable gains
lin production and employment as
the year progressed, and her ex-
port trade exceeded the CORE
spending levels of 1882.
The gold bloc countries showed
Improvement at times, but France
found herself hampered by con-
troversy over balancing her bud
get. and by fears over her ability
to maintain the gold standard.
Nevertheless somewhat make
shift budget was accepted toward
the end of the year.
Employment and production
held up relatively well in France,
but Frances erstwhile lucrative
tourist trade dwindled, and export
industries were harassed by the
relatively high level of the franc.
Holland Balances Budget
Among other countries in the
gold bloc, Holland balanced her
budget by vigorous measures, and
better prices for tin and rubber
helped her colonies.
Belgian industry remained rela-
lively depressed, but employment
improved somewhat. Unemploy-
ment reached its peak in Italy in
February, and thereafter gradual
~ declined.
Switzerland felt adverse effects
of the high level Of her currency
upon tourist trade and exports.
The central European countries
still labored under currency re-
strictions, but even in long-de-
pressed Austria, industrial pro-
duction reached its best levels
since January. 1882, and employ
ment improved.
Russia was encouraged by re-
sumption of diplomatic relations
with the United States, and by
better crops !.

World Governments Experiment In Economics
To Hasten Recovery's Progress During 1884
By SMITH REAVIs
ASSOCIATED Press Foreign Staff

ASSOCIATED Press Foreign Staff)
NINETEEN THIRTY :
FOUR promises to be a year
of world experimentation in
economics and government
as statesmen seek to speed
the end of one of history's
longest and stiffest hard
time spells.
A lot of 193S's international
headaches are prominent on the
sheet of unfinished business.
First of all, leaders face the
problem of dislocated media of
exchange with two major and
many minor theories at clash.
Happy days, they all agree,
won't come again until commerce
can move in undisturbed and UNI
impeded channels.
In the United States President
Roosevelt proposes to raise basic
purchasing ability, and commodity
prices, by the use Of managed"
currency.
In Italy, Premier Mussolini will
lower wages and prices in one
sweeping operation in the hope
that thereby Italy may compete in
he worlds marts.
Americas Assail Tariffs
France sticks to the gold STAN
dard and calls for monetary sta
Utilization throughout the world.
In the Americas, tariff barriersI
are being attacked by bi-lateral
bargaining, as proposed by CordellI
Hull, United States secretary of |
state, at the Pan-American con-
ference in Montevideo. The ma
tions OF the western continents will |
seek a solution of the troublesome
debts question in an economicj
gathering at Santiago, Chile.
Europe, anxious to sell its pro-l
ducts abroad and thus fill the
domestic dinner pail, clings to its
tariffs and quotas as bargaining
points. Mr.. Roosevelt has indi-
Gated disposition to do some bar
tering himself-with wines and |
liquors as the first bait.
Most statesmen feel that theI
closing months of 1888 marked att
least slight upturn from the bus
mess stagnation of last winter
and spring. World unemploy-I
ment has decreased, if only slight
"; many basic commodity prices
have risen; some world SURPRISES
have been reduced.
Big Conference Futile
Politically there are many Of |
the old 1888 snags IN the 1884
channel. The conference SYSTEM
didn't work so well in the 12l
months just ended; witness adj
journment of the London Econ
omic sessions Of last spring and
summer and the later disarma-
ment meet at Geneva, the former
with underlined results and the
latter failure.
The world viii try it again,
however, with another attempt to
make disarmament, or rather arms
limitation, something of a reality.
The League Of Nations faces its
most crucial test. Already weak !
ened by the withdrawal Of two
Germany and Japanof its five
great power members, it views
with alarm Italy's warning that
radical changes are necessary or
she too win step out.

proposed reform, which Italy |
would have include separation
