Donald r. Richbere doesn t rate as
acting president by becoming eH-
ecutive director of the neWlv-crested
Industrial Emergency Commltlee. as
well as temporary executive director
OF the National Emergency Council
and executive secretary of the EN-
ecutive Council But the N. r. A.
general counsel will come nearer
being an acting president than any
thing Washington has ever known.
Virtually all administrative ACTIVITIES
in the domains of recovery AND re
lief will be co-ordinaIed under Rich
bergs jurisdiction. The authority OF
no other Federal official family COM
prehends so much territory. Hardly
anybody in the new deal personlf1es

tirelv to diSlOdge it. Washington in
forma ton also has for some time
anticipated the grave financial dis
tress in Germany now manifested by
the plight of the Reichsbank and the
dislocation of the Reich's export and
import trade. Americas recent stiff
note rebuking Berlin for suspension
of foreign debt payments is said TO
have brought home to the German
people more vividly than anything
hitherto the discredit and mistrust
which Nazi policies have aroused in
all foreign countries.
