EUROPE'S QUARRELS SHIFT
FROM BALKANS TO BALTIC
Germany, Russia and Poland Play on
International CheckerbOard of
Small Powers.

Esthonians, that German money Sc
cretly financed the campaign for re-
vision of the constitution giving more
powers to the President and military
at the expense of Parliament. After
Esthonians had overwhelmingly, for
patriotic reasons, voted the revision,
police discovered the hidden hands
which directed the movement were in
the pay of the NaZis. More than 200
arrests we're made and steps taken to
stamp out the reactionary groups.
Thirdly: Gen. Bermondt-Avaloff,
who with Gen. Won der Goltz al
most succeeded in making German
principalities out of the Baltic re-
publics after the armistice, on the
theory that they were fighting boil
shevisrn, is now located at Tilsit, on
the Prussian Lithuanian frontier.
Bermondt- -Avaloff, representing the
pro-German elements of Russian
aristocracy. still is a forceful char
acter. If chaotic conditions arise he
would be just the man to lead a
filibustering expedition into Lithuania
and Latvia for the purpose of re-

Fourthly: The German Polish
treaty is alleged to contain secret
clauses disquieting to Lithuania and
Latvia particularly. Gen. Pilsudski is
"fed I'D" with the stubborness of the
Lithuanians In refusing to concede to
Poland the wilma district, which was
Pilsudski's birthplace, and would not
herisate to create another corridor"
leading to Memel.
There is a general feeling in Eu-

~ ENEVA.-The storm center of
European political intrigue
I 7 appears to be shifting from
~ the Balkans to the Baltic,
with the German Nazi,
Russian-Soviet and Polish Pilsudski
governments moving the checkers on
board which comprises Lithuania,
Latvia, Esthonia and perhaps Fin
land. The questions of Memel, the
Free City of Danzig, the Polish Cor
ridor and East Prussia are compli-
eating factors.
Astute international observers are
convinced the old Prussian dream Of
establishing a Baltic hegemony from
the Gulf of Finland to the German
frontier has reawakened in the minds
of the junkers and Baltic barons as
a result of the advent of Hitlerism.
It is certain that, with or without
the knowledge of the Berlin govern
ment. forces have been set to work in
Lithuania, Latvia and Esthonia with
the ultimate object of demoralizing
the democratic political structures the
infant republics have so painfully
built up.
Developments indicative.
The positive developments, pointing
toward reconquest Of the regions by
the Baltic barons, are many.
First: Soviet Russia's apprehen-
sions and Moscow's unsuccessful ef-
fort to have Germany and Poland
join with her in guaranteeing the
political and territorial integrity Of
the three countries.
Secondly: The discovery, by the

Nazis to Suppress
Jokes on Movement

BERLIN.-An intensive campaign,
called "the battle against reactionary
moles," has been inaugurated by the
National Socialist party against the
critics Of the Third Reich and will
continue until June 80 Having
driven free expression of opinion
underground. the Nazis now appar-
emily want to eliminate the sense Of
humor from the German nation, for
it is announced in all solemnity that
responsible leaders will take a stand
against any joke having the intent
Of doing harm to the movement"
Thousands of Germans have taken
refuge from the oppressive monotony
and sameness that has fallen over the
country in the last IL months by in
venting and repeating with obvious
relish innumerable jokes and WITH
cisms against various leaders of the
'Nazi party. It is perhaps a sign Of
the high regard in which Adolf Hitler
is held by his countrymen that he Is
subject to comparatively few jokes.
but Herman Goering in particular
is the target of many uproarious tales
ridiculing his alleged vanity, his love
of display and dress, and his re-
puted unlimited stock of uniforms.

Nero Raises Debate
Over Film Censorship

ROME, Italy.-The Roman EN-
peror Nero may seem an unpleasant
sort of fellow to Cecil B. De Mile,
but quite a number of Italians regard
him as an ancestor of theirs, and
have begun to ask II the censorship
ought not to ban films which
calumniate the Emperor. A debate is
now raging between advocates of GEN.
sorship and partisans of milder action
in respect of this hitherto unsuspected
point of pride to contemporary
Italians. "The censors ought to allow
a large measure of freedom to foreign
film producers" one writer says in a
Milan newspaper; then We can ap-
praise the poor taste OF others and
Improve our own as q result"

Democracy Accused
Of Running Theater

ROME, Italy.-Democracy is accused
Of still another heinous crime by
Fascist writer in Roman newspaper;
this time 1t Is the low estate Of the
theater.
The theater suffers, according to
the writer, from "mutilation of ths
passions and a sentimental aridity"
which are characteristic Of and which
1t has taken from middle-class demo-
cracy. The stage must be inspired by
a heroic sentiment and vision, we are
told, and these virtues of great price
will be contributed by Fascism.

Operates Under Handicaps

IT must be admitted in the EX-
L changes favor that it always
operates under certain handicaps. It
must conduct its Investigations care
fully to avoid possible lawsuits and
to protect stockholders and corpora
tons who have an interest in its
activities. Moreover, it can not call
i'll outsiders to furnished testimony
the way the senate committee has
been able to do. It is extremely diff
ficult for it to reach beyond its own
members.
1t it discovers in the present in
stance, for example, that the market
in certain of its stocks has been
rugged" it may or may not be able
to do one of two or three things. If
one of its members has been in
volved the answer is rather simple.
It can either eXpel or suspend
him. But if it finds that outsiders
have been doing the buying and
selling about all it. could do would
be 10 throw the stock or stocks off
the board. But in throwing a stock
off the board innocent investors
might be penalized and the guilty
parties might go scot free. The
manipulators might have completed
their operations and have gotten out
of the stock entirely. Those who
bought it consequently would be de-
prived of a market for their holdings
and probably would lose consider
able money.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1934-04-10

The accompanying chart, pre-
pared by Robert A. Burrows, Pitts
burgh Statistician, shows two strik-
ing conditions as a result of the
blacklisting:
l. Some aviation companies are
to be forced to reorganize, but their
subsidiaries or their holding COM
panies are not affected.
2. Officers. on the blacklist, in
many cases, are officers of other
companies which are not affected
by the government order.
The chart clearly shows this in
terlocking of directories and the
system of operating and holding
companies under which three major
groups, General Motors, Cord Cor
poration and United Aviation, con-
troll the airways Of the United
States.
Plainly the blacklisting will fail
to cure the situation which the
government charges as result of
the airmail scandal.
The Postoffice Department has
decided to allow companies whose
contracts were Cancelled to bid CT
temporary carrying of the mail if
they reorganize under new names
and sever relations with officers and
directors unacceptable to the adj
miniStration.
But what of the major holding
companies, or the subsidiary COM
panies in which these same officers
and directors are closely connected
and in which, in many cases, they
own large blocks of controlling
stock? And what is to be done about
their stock interests to prevent them
retaining control through dunn
mieS?"
Many of these men were the pi-
oneers in the air. Many Of the
companies involved blazed air trails.
Aviation experts doubt that their
places can be filled with safety and
efficiency in few weeks.
The Importance of aviation is in
Dictated by comparison of business
for 1929 and 1888. In 1929, 165, 1858
passengers were carried in 1888,
$4,000 were carried, according to
estimates.
Thee are 900 planes in service
now, carrying 1850 persons, 10000
letters and 400 pounds of express
on an average every twenty-four
hours. The number of cities on the
air map has increased from % in
1926 to 178 in 1888
And with this growth has devel-
oped commensurately the problem
the government now has set about
to solve.
