Disreputable Startling
Enemy of Jap Beetles

The aggressive European starting
may be an undesirable alien because
it befouls buildings and parked auto
mobiles, but it is first-class fighter
against the destructive Japanese
beetle, according to the biological
survey, United States Department of
Agriculture.
Food-habit experts of the bureau
have found the starting one of the
most effective of the bird enemies of
this pest of early ripening fruit, corn,
and truck crops. In one locality IA
out of % starlings collected had fed
on japanese beetles. In some in
stances nearly all the birds food was
from this source. In certain limited
localities starlings are known to
have reduced the population Of
grubs of the beetle from 100 per
square foot to 5 or 6.
The starting. however, says the
biological survey. is only one of II
bird species in whose stomachs JAP
anese beetles are found. The other
birds are the ring-necked pheasant,
bobwhite. eastern kingbird, crested
fycatcher. common crow, catbird.
brown thrasher, robin, wood thrush,
English sparrow. meadow lark, red
winged blackbird, purple grackle,
cardinal, vesper sparrow, and song

He is successful because he Is doing
this thing he does not believe in ex-
traordinarily well, better perhaps than
any other living man could do it.
Besides being a man who wears
derby hat, nose glasses, a mustache
and worried look, Doctor Schacht is
president Of the Reichsbank. He is a
conservative man and believes in the
time-proved theories Of laissez faire in
business. Confronted with the institu-
ton of Nazi principles of economics
which are so abhorrent TO him because
they are so unprincipled. Doctor Schacht
went to Chancellor Hitler and tried to
resign.
So important were these novel depar-
lures in economics to the security of
the Nazi party and state socialism. Der
Feuhrer told Doctor Schacht that If he
resigned he would be sent TO one of the
dreaded concentration camps. 1t was
important that the New Deal for Ger
man business have an able leader to
manage ii. Doctor Schacht kept the
job.
Loyalty and efficiently he has adj
ministered the financial legerdmain
which has made German recovery pos
sible. It is one Of the wierdest tales in
all the history Of business. Yet Ger
man recovery is q fact, although it is
built on methods so unorthodox that
one slip might easily crumble it.
Hitler Faced Panic.
When Hitler came into control in
1888 there were 100000 Germans IN
employed. The country was suffering
Industrial ricketts,. The people were
willing to give state socialism a try to
get back on their feet. This was Hit
ler's chance. His entire future and
that of Naziism depended, not upon Ger
man military prestige. but upon re-
covery. Unless Germans got, their jobs
back, Hitler would not keep his very
long.
Today there are less than 1000 900
unemployed Germans. 1t makes no
difference If you take the word of the
German government for it. The re-
vival of German industry and trade is
obvious.
On last January 80, the second an
niversary of his coming into power,
Hitler told Germany: The national
socialist regime has lifted up a nation
that had wasted away in dull despera-
ton and has filed it with strong faith
and confidence in the innate values and
creative powers of its own life. {.
If, on January 80. 1888, I demanded
four years time for the execution Of
the first labor program, then two
thirds of this program has already
been fulfilled during the first half Of
this period"
Today the truth of his words is more
than ever apparent to the German peo-
pie. Public works and re-armament
have given impetus to industrial &C
tivity. There is an ever-increasing
censumer-demand for the products Of
industry. Banks have been able to
liquidate the major part of the frozen
credits which resulted from the panic
OF 1881.
What has brought all this about?
Hard on Foreign Creditors.
Some of It is due the factor which
stimulated recovery in many of the
nations Of the world-the suspension
OF the gold standard by the United
States. But by far the lions share
of it has resulted from Hitlers utterly
consc.enceleSs economic and financial
policies.
Seeking internal recovery, Germany
began by simply canceling her foreign
