Former German Chancel. Tor Speaks on Condition
 in His Country

Boston, Jan, 20.-(UP)--Dr. He!n- rich Bruening, former chancellor of Germany, warned today that inter- national trade and political agree ments must be negotiated as soon as possible if the world Is to es- cape Q new and worse depression than that from which It iS now emerging.
 pr. Bruenlng, here to deliver q series of lectures on Germany at the Lowell Institute, said he was con- vinced that international economies and political understandings "are alone able to save the world from even greater distress than 1t has passed through in the last five years"
 It was to emphasize the urgent need of such agreements and un- derstandings, said the former Ger man chancellor, that he was speak ing in America and might later speak in England.
 Conditions in Germany
 Discussing conditions in Germany pr. Bruening said the German peo- rle were naturally peaceful and that he was sure there was no war Ike feeling among the rank and file of the population or in the army. In answer to Q question, he said he thought 1t was true that widespread unemployment among youths from 10 to 2S years of age was Q primary cause Of the rise of Hitler. '"Thc German government realizing there was little else to De done, had started the voluntary b. Dor camp system before the present government came to power" iit said. "I'he Nazis turned the caE1lpi Into forced labor batalltons." .. ls fof. Bfu6nihg 'said there was nd connection insofar ag he knew be- tween the outlawed Catholic Gen. ter party, of which he was leader, and the League Of Honest Ger mans," an organization of persons opposed to Hitler.
