Yet. impartial observers who are
visiting Germany now. write that
there has been really little change in
the general frame of mind of the
ordinary German. who is but little
concerned with the antics of his
rulers, There is Just about 10 per
cent OF Germany's total population
which is making so much noise and
behaving like a liberty party ashore
after six-months' cruise. The
others are paSsively accepting a situa-
ton on which they are not passing
judgment. The fiery radio speeches
of the Goebbels and Goerings create
more sensation abroad than in Ger
many. Hamilton Fyfe, a distin-
guished English newspaper man with
strong communistic tendencies. writes
his impressions from Thuringia. For
instance. one night. a few weeks sgo,
he was staying in a small country inn.
The radio set in the dining room was
hroadcaSting some good music, to
which everybody was listening atten-
lively. Then Goebbels began his usual
speech. Everybody started at once
playing cards or talking about crops
The innkeeper tip-toed to the radio
set and quietly turned 1t of. And
that he writes, is common occur
ence.
A mild sensation was created in
London last week. when a number of
unemployed and hungry looking men
appeared on the streets with Smartly
tailored suits. coming evidently from
the best West End tailors. 1t was

P. .W.A.FUNDS HERE
TOTAL A MILLIONS
Figure Includes Strictly
Federal Work-LocaI Prof.
ects Under $40, 900, 900.

The District of Columbia has bene-
fitted directly and indirectly to the
extent of $4,000, ,757 in the distribu-
tion of virtually all of the $3,700,-
000.0 P. w. A. recovery fund cover
ing every known allotment under a
Nation wide program up to August /,
survey of allotments indicates.
While the foregoing figures for the
District are unofficial" since the
P. w. A. refrains from announcing
totals for individual States for politi-
cal reasons, they were obtained by list
ing all Federal allotments made for
and in the District of Columbia.
Eliminating, however, the millions
expended in the seat Of government
on Federal buildings and improve
ments, this figure shrinks to a point
that would seem to refute the oft re-
peated claim of P. W. A officials, that
Washington has benefited more than
almost any other city in the drive to
stimulate employment. An examina-
tion of the 78-page fiscal report
rendered to Secretary Ickes yesterday
shows that considerably less than $40,
000, 900 has been allotted for local
projects which might be construed for
the direct use and benefit of District
taxpayers.
Sewage Plant Included.
Included in this $40 900 900 figure is
the recent allotment of $1,000 900 for
a sewage disposal plant, $4,000, 900
"ear marked" or budgeted for low
cost emergency housing project and

a $400. .000, 900 road fund
Allotments for projects on strictly
Federal improvements in the Capital
and the two Army posts at Fort Myer
and Fort Humphreys, in nearby Vir-
ginia, account for considerably more
than half of the total P. w. A. ex-
penditures or authorizations in the
District. The biggest single item is
10000, 900 for Secretary Icke's new
Interior Department Building, which
may or may not be erected within the
next two years. The next largest item
is $2,800,000 for the Library of Con-
greSs Annex, which is partially COM
pleted.

RUSSIA AWAITED
FOR DEBT FINALE
Hull Firm in Stand for Swift
Completion After Talk
With President.

President Roosevelts approval was
linked with the stand of the state De-
partment yesterday as Cordeil Hull,
Secretary OF State. indicated that only
direct word from Moscow would save
the Russian debt negotiations from A
permanent deadlock.
From his conference with the Presi-
dent at the White House Friday, Sec
retary Hull brought back to the State
Department what appeared to be an
even stronger determination TO In
sist on swift completion of the debt
discussions In n settlement, which
would be acceptable TO this Govern
ment 1t was indicated that in the dis
cuSsions with Alexander Troyanovsky,
Soviet Ambassador, the limit OF Amer
ican concessions on the matter of re-
duction of American claims and future
extension Of commercial credits by the
United States had been set forth. The
Soviet Ambassador was to communi-
cate with Moscow and await an answer
which would define the upshot OF the
prolonged negotiations.
Information Not Ready.
Secretary Hull said in answer 10 q
question on the Russian debt situa-
ton that he would not be able 10 fur
nish any information-not for q few
days yet. He added significantly that
the department could give the press
something one way Or another within
few days.
Asked what had caused "the criti-
cal juncture," Mr. Huh said he could
not go into any details. He said he
wanted To get the matter determined
one way or another without undue de-
lay. He volunteered no objection to
tne use OF the word critical" In ths
question directed to him.
Both the State Department and thu
President are represented to be ex-
tremely anxious to reach an agree
ment with Russia, but they are mot
prepared either to make a large long
term loan TO the Soviet or to give up
substantially the American Govern
ment claims for repayment of the
Sl87 900, 900 loaned to the Kerensky
provisional government in Russia. On
both these problems differences are
reported to have arisen. the Soviet
holding out for large credits and at
tacking the Kerensky loan as having
aided revolutionary white Russian ele-
mentS opposed TO the Soviet regime.
Medium-Term Credits.
The American negotiaters have in
dicated TO Russia that medium-term
credits to a limited amount would be
available for the financing Of Amer
ican exports to Russia through the
Export-Import Bank created TO facil-
itate trade with the Soviet. Should
the debt negotiations fail, this bank
VIII never operate and any large in
crease in trade with Russia viii pre-
sumably be impossible.
Meanwhile the State Department
sought to facilitate its plans 10 en-
large and stabilize American trade
with other countries by calling on
American business interests TO supply
data for use In the negotiation of re-
ciprocal trade pacts. . Oficials have
informally requested industry 10 re-
port on administrative practices IN
other countries which may limit
American trade. Other injurious for
eign regulations are also requested 10
be the subject of reports.

This

LulI in Europe Brings

nv CONSTANTINE BROWN.

After three weeks Of excitement and
tension. European affairs have entered
period Of lull But everybody in
Europe reluctantly admits that tht
slightest spark may stili set the whole
continent sblaze.
The situation in Austria continues
TO keep European diplomats keyed up
The reason for this is twofoid: first
Of all. Il Is becoming increasingly evi-
dent that q great section OF the Aus
srian population is in sympathy with
the nationalist and pan -Germanic
idea Of the Nazis. Then, the Irritation
between Yusoslayia and Germany has
begun TO worry Mussolini and the
French seriously. The outburst Of the
Belgrade government despite the urg-
ings OF Paris TO keep cool. that II the
Italians we're 70 enter Austria TO re-
establish order the Yugoslav govern
ment would have 10 take a similar
action. was a warning Of no mean con-
sequence
As in the past. Austria remains a
country OF political mystery. When

sassinated in 1914 at Sarajevo. the
inquiry proved that the police had
failed 10 take the most elementary
measures Of protection.
This time. again, news which is
trickling from Vienna indicates that
the police was highly negligent" in
its efforts 10 protect Dollfuss. Maj
Fey always was suspected OF being at
the bottom of his heart q Nazi SYM
pathizer. and observers are asking
themselves why he was not killed with
his chief when the Eazi broke into the
governmental palace to do away with
DollfuSs. There Is also good deal Of
uncertainty as TO Fey's motives in
testifying at the trial OF the Nazi
murderers that Dollfuss had declared
on his death bed that Rintelen. the
Nazi leader. should become the next
chancellor of the republic. The gen.
eral impression prevails in Vienna that
Dollfuss was taken for ride by his
own supposed followers.
