BERLIN. September 18.-Starting
Monday. Germany will hold the biggest
peacetime military maneuvers in it's
history. Last Fall, after the re-
establishment of Germany's military
sovereignty, her military rulers for
the first time in more than 20 years
arranged for two army corps to par
ticipate in official war games with
instead Of partly sham guns as pro-
vided In the Versailles treaty. This
year, however, there will be for the
first time combined nhaneuvers for
the three bodies of which the Ger
man military forces now consist: The
army, navy and air force.
While the number of soldiers which
will take part in the six-day event
was not revealed, it is understood
that Gen. Field Marshal Werner Won
Blomberg, Minister of War, will con-
duct the maneuvers personally as
head Of the special staff Mecklen-
burg in POmerania will serve as the
scene for the chief war games of the
combined forces. Since these prov
inces border on the Baltic Sea, it is
possible for the navy to take part
The program provides for a landing
force under naval protection with
air raids behind the lines.
Mussolini to Attend.
1t is with great glee that the Ger
man newspapers give the list Of
prominent men who will come to Ger
many for this occasion. Premier
Benito Mussolini will attend the ma
neuvers, one day at least, as Reichs-
fuehrer Adolf Hitler's personal guest
during his four or five days visit to
this country. But while II Duce's
visit is prompted by political con-
siderations, professional foreign mill
tary officers are coming for strictly
military reasons.
Field Marshal Won Blomberg invited
number Of foreign military experts
to attend the maneuvers in response
to the courtesy extended him on SINH
lar occasions by the states concerned
Great Britain, Italy and Hungary
For the first time since the war the
chief Of the imperial general staff of
Great Britain will attend German
maneuvers. Field Marshal Sir Cyril

British officers.

port to the proposal of the Imperial

product as he obtained in the market for

One Good Signpost
For Business Advance

Congressman John +. DOckWeller, NlS-
iting Imperial Valley Just before he
left to attend the special session of con-
gress at Washington, boosted business
hopes in this region when he predicted
that the administration will revoke the
federal tax on undivided earnings. In
our estimation, the undivided profits
tax has done more than anything else,
more than labor troubles or Wall Street
fluctuations, to put the brakes on busi-
ness recovery.
Washington observers, more cautious
than the congressman, have predicted
some modification of the tax, but few
have gone so far as to say that it will
be revoked. Modification will help. but
complete revocation would be a God
send to recovery in this country.
Countless small corporations are ready
to expand, to add machinery and equip
ment, to build additions to their plants.
ad to carry out an aggressive develop
ment program. Such a program obvious
ly can be carried out only through earn
ings. Just as obviously, earnings cannot
be declared out as dividends if they are
to be used for improvement and to in
crease employment And, if they are
not declared out as dividends, they are
heavily taxed.
The result? Expansion, which means
added employment, has been paralyzed.
The only way to remove this current
paralysis from business life is to revoke
or modify the undivided profits tax
and the sooner it is done the sooner will
business be able to spend more money in
industrial channels, and so increase en-
