ADOLF HITLER IS
 FACING CRISIS
(Continued from Page 1.)

His aim is to bring his country men, despite the diminishing en- thusiasm for the Nazi cause, de- spite the disheartenins foretaste of a hungry winter, to the polls in sufficient number to confirm him by more than the 40,000,000 odd votes cast in the last referen- dunn to approve his decision to withdraw Germany from the league of nations and the disarm- ament conference. Less than that total would have tremendous re- percussions.
 Schacht Reveals Crisis
 Economic Dictator Schacht in a newspaper interview to-day indi- cated the real seriousness of the situation, and Hitler's decision to fight it out without imitation.
 We face difficulties" he said, "that make necessary the mobiliZa- tion spirit of sacrifice. The cur rency and raw material problems will decide our future. Hitler in- sists on the utmost emery in find ing domestic substitutes for foreign raw materials. He has definitely rejected all plans for in- flation or currency depreciation"
 Holland to-day prepared to seize German credits to satisfy claims of its nations. Its move was motivated rather by a deter imitation to obtain money due its exporters than to satify bondhold- CTS. The Hitler government was frankly worried, for the enmity of the financially powerful Dutch neighbor would seriously affect the currency situation.
 Crop Failure Hurts
 Crop failure but added to an economic crisis precipated first by world trade decline and secondly by trade boycott because of Nazi anti-semitism. The drop in ex- ports made it impossible to trans fer money abroad to satisfy debt holders or buy raw materials.
 Curtailment of raw material pur- chases reached stage to-day where women in all stages of life were appealed to dress simpler in order to conserve textile materials. Pleated skirts and gowns were wasteful, they were told, as were trains on evening gowns. Straight, simple frocks, made with artifi- cial silks and other substitute materials were urged.
 A brief government order gave evidence of the food situation. Dis tilleries were forbidden to use po- tatoes until September l. Minimum prices were decreed and it was or dered that every large sale of po- tatoes must be, written contract to be submitted to the government.
 London, Aug 17.-(UP)-Crop failure and trade boycott have combined in alarming measure to defeat NaI Germany's effort to combat depression by attaining economic self sufficiency, authori- tative economic and grain sources said to-day.
 The crop failure alone, it was said, was sufficient to defeat econ- omic self sufficiency plans.
 But in addition, it was esti- mated, the trade boycott has ac-. counted for more than 70 per cent of the heavy decline in exports.
 Starting in protest against anti semitism, the boycott has spread to include three other powerful groups-organized workers whose influence is strong in the social democratic Scandinavian countries; the Catholics, and Soviet Russia. There are signs that Lutherans abroad are joining the boycott in protest against church nazifica- tion. o
 In 1882 exports averaged 47S,- OOO,O0O marks month and i'm ports S9,OOO,OO0-a favorable balance of S9,000,000 marks. In 1883 the averages were 406,Ooo,- 900 and 35O,0OO,OOO respectively, favorable balance of 56,0OO,OOO. In the first half of 1884 the averages were 34S,O0O,OO0 and 3S4,00O,OOO- an unfavorable balance Of 36,Ooo'- 900.
 As to crops, it was indicated that the self sufficiency program would be defeated by the neces- sity for importing between $12,- GOO 900 and $160,O0O,000 worth or food. >

The streets Hitler traversed had tri- umphal arches at intervals and were lined with rows of SS guards, police, storm troops, labor service. labor front and other Nazi organ izations. Behind them a dense crowd milled.
 Windows and housetops along the road were crowded. The throngs were in a frenzy of enthusiasm. Church bells chimed. The passage from the airport to the town hall was like q triumphal entry.
