Germany, according to ENEMY,
would be self Insufficient in power,
iron, iron ore, chemicals, coal and
nitrates. Kranold questions her self
suff1ciency in iron and iron ore.
Among the highly important items
in which the Reich would not be
self-suf1cient Kranold lists food,
iron ore, iron, petroleum, cotton,
aluminium, rubber, manganese,
nickel, tin and wool.
Other Deficits Interesting.
Deficits of the other countries
which might have been embroiled
in a great conflict are equally in
teresting. Great Britain, Kranold
estimates, would have lacked food,
petroleum, cotton, manganese, rub
ber, nickel, tin and wool; Italy, the
same plus aluminium and chromium,
and Japan, everything that Italy
lacked. This makes anything but a
pretty picture for the potential ag-
gressors and adds basis to the con-
tention that the potential allies we're
bound to win great struggle in the
fall of 1898.

be faced by a drop in domestic pro-

ably during a war of blockade, when
most of her overseas sources of sup
ply would be closed to her. The
necessities of her military forces,
furthermore, would reduce her do

pened in the World War, and there
is no reason to believe that it would
not happen again.
Situation Carefully Estimated.
Germany's raw material situation
in a general war has been carefully
estimated by many experts. Prof.
Herman Kranold in his book on
THE International Distribution of
Raw Materials" and Brooks ENEMY
in THE Strategy of Raw Materials"
represent the consensus.
Prof. Kranold calculates that Ger
many would be self-sufficient in
just three out of 26 key raw ma

Kranold further estimates that the
Reich would lack human beings to
run the war industry. In time,
he calculates, 100000 people
would be required for the army and
2,000, 900 to man the Ersatz industry.
The human reserve in 1888 was
about 100000 men and approxi-
mately 100000 women, giving a
total of 100000. II 100000 un-

VIENNA, March % LP.-Sigmund
Freud, 82-year- r-old father of psyche
analysis" was seriously Ill today, close
friends said, after a visit Of secret
Nazi police to his home last night.
The ilNormants said the police took
the Jewish scientists passports and
closed the doors Of his home. Offices
OF the company which has published
Freud's books also were closed.
Freud was i'll when Adolf Hitler
absorbed Austria into the German
realm and for several days was not
told Of the drastic changes affecting
his country and his race.
Indications that Hitler was de-
termined to win Austrian Socialists to
the Nazi cause by offering them work
were given in a ceremony at the
Vienna City Hall.
(The Socialists conflict with the
Dollfuss regime in Autria fared
into local civil war in Vienna in

CATION Of T. V. A. and dissension
among the directors.
When the chairman replied in the
negative, Mr.. Roosevelt said he had
intended to give him every oppor-
tunity for a fair hearing, including
representation by counsel. That was
the first time the President had said
the chairman could have counsel If
he desired.
The President then said he felt the
future of T. v. A. was threatened by
the situation among the directors.
He also reviewed at some length the
controversy between the three men
and his efforts to elicit facts upon
which charges and counter charges
had been made, stating that Chair
man Morgan had refused to submit
any facts to substantiate his charges,
although the others had offered evil
dence In support Of their allega-
tions.
Summary OF Findings.
Summarizing the evidence OF the
proceedings, the President said:
On that evidence am obliged to
find that:
'(a) Arthur E. Morgan has failed to
sustain the grave and libelous charges
OF dishonesty and want of integrity
which he has made against his fellow
directors; his conduct in this respect
is legally and morally unjustified;
"(b) On the face of the record, the
charges Of the other directors that
Arthur E. Morgan has obstructed the
work and injured the morale Of the
organization OF the Tennessee Valley
Authority must be accepted as true;
he has refused to offer testimony in
denial OF the charges;
"tc) Arthur E. Morgan is guilty of
inSubOrdination and contumacy in re-
fusing to submit to the Chief Execu-
tive's demand for any facts upon
which he based charges of dishonesty
and want of integrity on the part of
his fellow directors.
Under these circumstances I feel
myself under the painful duty of re-
questing Arthur E. Morgan at once
publicly to withdraw the charges that
he has made impugning the honesty,
good faith, integrity and motives of his
fellow directors, and to give to them
and to the country assurances that he
will. in the future, Loyalty cooperate
with his fellow directors in carrying
out the provisions of the Tennessee
Valley Authority Act.
Il make this request OF him.
If he cannct accede, it is his duty
to resign.
