BACKGROUND

6AC ChIHOOND-
Since his assumption OF poDer

has made an increasing fight on
organized religion He considers it
incompatible uith the totalitarian
state he is seeking. The Catholic
Church has cited cases OF discrim-
iration and efforts to undermine it.

BERLIN, June % (P.-Protestant
and Catholic churches OF Bavaria,
threatened with loss of state subsi-
dies, today were given another chance
10 fall in line with Nazi policies and
retain the rich revenues.
The newest blow aimed In the bitter
Nazi state church conflict was an
nounced by the Bavarian minister OF
interior, Alfred Wagner, last night at
Observation-Disclosures.
He left the door open, however, for
the continuation of state contributions
ii the churches bow to the Nazl will
II hope that it still will be possible
tor those who disturb the great COM
munity feeling to be called back to
their senses" said the Nazl leader
after announcing that state financial
support would be withdrawn within
three years.
"Must Obey God, Not Man."
Meanwhile in Berlin Rev. Martin
Niemoeller, militant leader Of the
confessional Protestants, told a large
congregation that "As long as the
world exists one must obey God rather
than man"
The Protestant leader declared that
Q number OF confessional pastors
many Of whom have been subjected
to secret police questioning in recent
weeks, will face Nazi emergency
court this week.
Wagner's announcement declared
that contributions which totaled 140,-
100000 marks ($56, ,o0O,o00) during the
four years of Nazi rule, would be
cut down 100000 marks at time
until they cease in 1910.
The churches have only themselves
to blame if the state no longer con-
tributes to their upkeep," the minister
said They have had four years K
fall in stride with the rest of u.s."
To Continue to Collect Taxes.
Bavaria, however, will continue te
collect church taxes for both the
Catholics and Protestants, which ir
1885 amounted to 26,000,000 marks
tslo400, ,000), and, in addition, GER
tain state payments provided in the
Vatican concordat will be continued

Of ministers and laymen under arrest

Just for example, it is in point to note the
apparent effect of Mr. Roosevelt's press con-
ference remarks about rising prices, specula-
tions, etc.
The word "jitters" is frequently used these
days in commenting on markets and political
conditions. Thus we have had "jitters" con-
corning the certainty of increased reserve re-
quirements and the uncertainty of our gold
price, to mention only two cases.
Underlying all has been the big parent Utter,
which is the fear of something deflationary."
