three big utility properties in which
United has major interests.
At the same time United Corpora
ton was thinning out the influence of
operating men on Its board, two other
important units of the group were
adding operating executives or busi
ness men to their boards and dropping
the banking and Wall Street repre-
sentativeS.
United Corporation was formed in
1929, and as it extended its original
investments in such properties as
United Gas Improvement, Columbia
Gas g. Electric, Commonwealth d
Southern Corporation, Public Service
Corporation of New Jersey and
Niagara Hudson Power the top execu-
tives of these companies joined the
United board as well as those Of its
afiliated companies and thus created
truly interlocking control.
Wall Street is inclined to look for
further designations and replacements
which will provide a stronger balance
of operating executives on the boards
of the operating units and leave the
United board with fewer operating
men. and possibly greater number of
banking and financial representatives.

German experts calculated that an
average of 100 900 900 reichsmarks a
month had to be obtained from trade
surpluses to enable full payment on
foreign obligations.
Foreign commerce Is more closely
intertwined in the economic life Of
Germany than of almost any other
nation, except England. 1t is pro-
verbal that Germany must import to
eat and must export to pay her debts.
This year, more than in any recent
period, this statement is true, bank
ers point out. For in addition to the
customary lack Of many foodstuffs,
the grain crops in Germany have been
particularly poor this season.
The entire standard of life depends
on the ability to buy such materials
abroad as cotton, wool, rubber, oil,
copper and tin. Without these things,
Germany cannot even manufacture
the finished products whose sale
abroad provides the much-needed
dollars and francs and pounds.
Bankers here see little prospect Of
any benefit from Germany's new de-
cree restricting still further the sup
ply of exchange available for free i'm
ports. They pointed also to reported
capital exports from the Reich as q
new complication.
