DR., Bergius Is Ger.

By LEMUEL z. PARTON.

A 8 IN the tale Of the n1iller's
~ daughter. the Germans like
~ to have q kindly elf around,
n to count the beans or turn
everything into gold. The brothers
Grimm are at it again. Maurauders
have stolen the princess colonies and
red dragon squats at her chamber
door. A tall, bald, monocled rumpel-
stilskin pops in through the keyhole,
makes a few passes and turns saw
dust into meat and coal into gasoline.
Adolph Hitler says that frees Ger
many from her prosecutors. Within
1s months they will be independent
Of the compulsory import of gaso-

DR.. Friedrich Bergi,Y is the r1irscls
man. Harvard, giving him an hon.
orary degree at the tercentenary cele-
oration. applied the fairy tale ana
logue neatly by tagging him "a moo

for his achievements in liquifying a! q

passahle filet mignon.
The Bergius patents we're among
those seized by Mitchell Palmer alien
property custodian in the war, and
turned over to American Industrial
lists. Our scientists were wildly ex-
cited about this, but disappointed
when they found that the Germans
had held out the master key in each
case. So over here sawdust is still
sswdust and coal is just coal.
The great scientist Haber pulled
Germany out of the hole in the
World War by getting nitrates out OF
the air. DR.. Bergius was his asso-
ciate and co-worker. and they explored
together many a deep labyrinth of
new energies. Haber dissented from
Nazi scientific dogma and died with
declining prestige and esteem. DR..
Bergius Joined up and is now a bril-
liant rationalizer and defender Of
National Socialism. Hence. at 81. he
is riding high and nobody disputes
him when he turns in a miracle
which he certainly does every once in
q while.

cratic country in the Western world
joins them. The agreement cannot
stop where it is. 1t will make no
sense If 1t does. To be consistent
We must go on to increase the ex-
change of goods in world trade That
Is what international sterilization Is
for. The agreement must mean that
the British will move away from the
high protectionism of the last years
the immediate repercussion in the
British press indicates that they are
ready to do so-and that France must
revise her prohibitory import quotas
and reduce tariffs. She must do this
to prevent price rises. Again we shall
have some room to breathe in.
Open to World.
1t Is surely Of great significance that
the agreement is between Democratic
countries. and them alone. although
it is open to the world. Dictatorship
and economic nationalism are iden-
tical. The world with harmonized
currencies, facing toward collabora-
ton and trade, is the world where
the people rule. The world of ex-
change restrictions and isolation is
the world of the dictatorship And
economic isolation and spiritual isola-
ton 60 together.
One immediate effect is that the
relationships are on the defensive. for
the first time in three years. For
three years they have done the chal-
lenging. Today they are challenged.
Mr. Hitler's speech in Berlin on Sum-
day is in amazing contrast to his
words at Nuremberg. Then he was
contemptuous of the democracies. He
found them all drifting toward boil
shevism. Democracy was decadence.
But on Sunday he found that democ-
racy was a luxury" which only rich
countries can permit themselves.
Quite q change. But he got the phrase
mixed. Rich countries do not make
democracy. Democracy makes coun-
tries rich, when it Is true to its own
philosophy.
Justification for Hull.
The agreement is a justification for
the ideas Of Mr.. Hull This column
has repeatedly maintained that of all
policies pursued in Washington that
OF Mr.. Hull has been the most invul-
nerable, as it has been the most con-
