BERLIN ON BONDS
Declares Discrimination
Against American Hold
ers Will Be Opposed.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Acting through the embassy In Ber-
lin, the United States again has told
Germany that this Government
strongly opposes any discrimination
against American holders of German
bonds, and will continue to oppose
any plan now under consideration
that will give preference to the bond
holders in other countries.
The text of the representations
was not made public, but the State
Department last night issued an off,
cial statement summarizing the atti-
tude of this Government.
Statement Issued.
The statement said:
with reference to the efforts OF
other governments to obtain prefer
entail treatment for their holders of
German bonds, the American embassy
has Informed the German govern
ment that the previously-stated posi-
ton of the United States Government
opposing discrimination against Amer
lean bondholders remains unchanged:
and that careful consideration of the
facts leads to the definite conclu-
sions that Germany has power to pre-
vent special arrangements with the
different creditor countries and that
1t cannot escape the responsibility for
any preferences it may sanction"
The text of the protest was under
stood to reiterate the American atti-
tude set forth in strong representa-
tions sent to the Hitler government
in January, protesting against prefer
entail treatment accorded Dutch and
Swiss bondholders.
President Roosevelt at that time
also invited the German Ambassador.
DR.. Hans Luther, to a White House
conference at which he firmly upheld
this countrys insistence upon equality
Of treatment.
Agreements Concluded.
After the first debt conference in
June. 1888, which resulted in a re-
ducticn of interest payments to Is per
cent, Switzerland and the Neither
lands concluded agreements with
Germany, whereby full interest would
be paid on bonds held by their ma
tionals on the ground that they had
an unfavorable trade balance with
Germany.
At the conference in December,
1888, protests by the American repre-
sentatives resulted in a promise that
such discrimination would stop, and
in January, 1884, agreement was
reached that the preferential treat
ment given the Swiss mad Dutch
would end June 80, 1884.
In recent sessions of the Berlin
conference the Dutch and Swiss have
insisted that the preferential treat
ment be continued.

ZWE1BRUECKEN, Germany, May
7.-Nazi Germany yesterday began
its active campaign to restore to the
Reich the productive Saar Basin, the
future of which will be determined by
a plebiscite under League of Nations
supervision.
In this palatinate city, DR.. Paul
Joseph Goebels minister of propa-
ganda. promised a cheering crowd of
100000 Germans, many of them resi-
dents of the Saar, that there can be
no compromise on the Saar question" "
Come what may" he declared, "the
Reich will stick to you. The Germany
of dishonor and disgrace is thing

The demonstration came on the eve
of the meeting Of the League of Ma

plebiscite, which must be held no
later than next January. will be made.
ASS 5000 Germans entitled to vote

Soviet Resents U. S. Ruling Shutting
OFF Credit.
BY the Associated Press.
MOSCOW, May IA deadlock In
Soviet-American trade moves loomed
today as result of Attorney General
Cummings ruling that Russia is a
oefaulter under the johnson act.
The ruling, shutting off American
credit to Moscow, is bitterly resented
here.
The Russian government contends
that it cannot be held to have de-
faulted on the Kerensky debt because
its intervention and counter claims
against America remain unsettled.
1t is understood Soviet economic
organizations already have been in
structed to seek no purchases from
America which can be made elsewhere.
Soviet officials have given no indi-
cation of whether they are prepared to
negotiate for a settlement of claims
between Russia and the United States.
Due to the at least temporary stale
mate, the projected dispatching of a
trade delegation to the United States
and establishment of American con-
sulates in Vladivostok and Odessa is
being held up.

PHILADELPHIA, May 7.-Alexan-
der Troyanovsky, Soviet Ambassador
to this country, said yesterday Russia
does not consider itself in default on
its debts to the United States.

Saturday by Attorney General Cum
mings that Russia was in default, the
Ambassador asserted: I'VE signed no
obligation to pay these debts"

known in this country. no one. !
think, could consider us in default,
he said.
He referred to the loans by the
Czarist and Kerensky governments.
I'VE didn't assume any obligations
but we are now in consultation with
your Government about them" the
Ambassador added
Arguments May Be Published.
''The statement of Mr.. Cummings
is very important and perhaps our
government will decide now to pub
lish its arguments.
I'VE didn't publish our arguments
in order not to create a bitter
atmosphere"
The Ambassador said in his opinion,
private business with Russia will con-
tinue unchecked by the johnson act
and the Cummings ruling.
The Export-Import Bank. you
know, made a statement that it
wouldn't grant us credits" he said.
1T stated it didn't want to start
business with any Of the Soviet Or
ganizations until the President finds
negotiations on our mutual claims
satisfactory.
After the President decides nego-
tiations are in satisfactory condition,
the Export-Import Bank can start
business
I'm my opinion this ruling does
not affect credits obtained from
private banks for business with
Russia"

Because of their suspicious of strange tastes
and odors, it is difficult assignment to doctor
wild beasts successfully. Not infrequently these
natives of the jungle smell a mouse" and refuse
to consume either food or water which are
doped with medicine. At the local Zoo the
usual plan IS to give the sick animal neither
food nor drink for day. This system of
simple starvation works well the sick animal
is both thirsty and hungry after a 24-hour en-
forced fast and he then drinks literally of water
treated with drugs before he appreciates that
he is being tricked. Another practical ex-
pedient is to pour castor oil and other liquid
medicines over the nose, head and fore paws
of the ailing animal. Subsequently the beast
ticks the medicine from these parts and
swallows It. The larger animals, such as
camels and llamas, drenched from bottle
when it is necessary to doctor them.

ton of all the voluntary muscles and
their function.
1T is automatic that any muscle,
which can be voluntarily contracted, l,
can be voluntarily relaxed, If path
ology is excluded. The difficulty Is
that most of us are incapable Of ad-
mitting to consciousness the recogni-
ton of contracted voluntary muscles,
unless We are educated TO do so,
and elf-education along these lines
is almost impossible.
But if psychic recognition OF a
skeletal muscle, which is contracted
because of emotion or habit, can once
be brought into consciousness, then
it can be voluntarily relaxed as easily
as one foot Is placed before the other
in walking, with the resultant i'm
provement of athletic accomplishment.

such voluntary muscular control as
