Parking Meters Satisfactory
In Other Cities.

To the Editor Of The Star:
CINCE the American Automobile Asso-
~ citation continues to misinform you
and every one else regarding parking
meters. may I say that the American
Municipal Association this week reports
that more than so cities, ranging in size
from 1900 to 100000 population. have
installed parking meters in the last three
years and that satisfaction with them is
general"
do not sell parking meters nor am
particularly interested in them, but am
curious to know why the bitter opposi-
ton of the A. A. A. and the distorted
publicity the organization sends out re-
garding meters.
Wherever parking meters are in
stalled, I am informed. they are salts
factory to motorists and merchants and
that should satisfy the A. A. A. II 1t is
the unbiased non-profit organization 1t
claims to be. G. w. JOHNSON.

Horthy's S Visit.

The stage is set in Berlin for some
important decisions this week during
the visit of the Hungarian regent, Ad-
miral Nicholas Horthy; his premier,
Bella 1mredy; his foreign minister, Kolo-
man Won Kanya, and his war minister,
Third Reich.
There they will be accorded the same
ceremonial ovation and will get much
the same impressions of German rearm-
ament and industrial progress as those
that were bestowed upon 1taly's Pre-
mier Mussolini last September. Even
the same decorations will be used, the
Hungarian symbol merely replacing the
Italian fasces. The Journalism, how
ever. will be heavier because this is the
first visit to Germany of foreign chief
Of state since the Nazi revolution
But behind all these outward mani
festatons important discussions will be
held Of matters weighing heavily upon
Germany, Hungary and all of Europe.
What OF Czechoslovaka? What OF
Eungary's economic relations with Ger
many? What Of the Little Entente, and
the Balkan Entente? What about the
NaN movement in Hungary? Such are
few OF the questions that may arise.
The most pressing is in regard to
Czechoslovakia, for like the Germans
the Hungarians have an "irredenta"
within the Central European republic,
body of nearly million Magyars, who
yearn for autonomy or return to their
motherland. This unity of interest,
which at least two Of Czechoslovakia's
neighbors have in her minority problem,
provides the basis for joint action If 1t
becomes necessary or desirable. Still
third state-Poland-has a minority in
Czechoslovakia and could be counted
upon to demand part in partitionment
If the moment for it should arrive.
OF the three, only one is powerful
enough to threaten forceful showdown
In hoslovakia-Germany Thus both
Poland and Hungary count upon riding
into the final settlement on Germanys
coattails. This factor makes virtually
impossible, at least for the present, po-
litical detachment of Hungary from the
Third Reich, and consequently strength
ems Hitler's march down the Danube.
Behind this question of Czechoslovakia
tions with the Little Entente. Like the
rest Of the defeated Central Powers,
Hungary was placed under drastic mill
tary disabilities by the Treaty OF Tri-
anon at the end of the war. The Little
Entente e-Czechoslovakia, Rumania and
Yugoslavia-have made overtures to
Budapest for the removal of those re-
strictions with view to strengthening
the line against Germany in South
eastern Europe, perhaps through some
sort Of non-aggression pact with Hun
gary. The Hungarian attitude toward
such q maneuver is as yet unrevealed,
but probably will be determined at Ber-
lin this week.
The Balkan Entente, OF which Ru-
mania and Yugoslavia are members also
has begun casting eyes toward a sette-
ment with Hungary of the same nature
as that recently made with Bulgaria,
perhaps in the hope that Budapest
could be induced to join the expanding
bloc.
Whether Horthy and Imredy take
Hungary deeper into the German camp
or start unshackling themselves from
the Reich Is likely to be decided before
the Hungarian emissaries return home
next Sunday.

 Many business men feel that a solution of all our problems is bound to result from a change of adrninis- tration and that once the change is effected our problems will ali be behind us. The truth is that more conservative governmental policies. though necessary if we are going to honestly work our way out, will really mark the beginning and not the end of the solution of the prob lens that confront us. I
 Having added over twenty bil- lions of dollars of debt during the past eight years, the day of pay ment is bound to confront us and when that day comes it will call for hard work and the practice of unusual thrift, irrespective of which party is in power. SIS
 '"The recent elections have once again returned us to two-party system of government. It is doubt full n-a third party could make much progress in light of the ex- presSion at the polls. This nation has made it's progress under a two-party system of government. IT, respective of ones political beliefs, 1t is generally conceded that a more evenly balanced Congress is a safeguard to the nation"

Executive Manager

Association of Credit Men, told the banquet session of the New Eng land Credit Conference at the Ho- tel Bond here tonight.
 '"The major cause of the business recovery thus far has been the artificial stimulus created through the lending spending program" MT. Heimann states. Most business men doubt the wisdom of such a program because they fully under stand that program of this char acter cannot be carried on indefin- itely. If business is to continue its upward movement it must be sustained by normal fundamen- ally sound recovery in both consun- CTS and capital goods. Such a re- covery is possible if government policies are helpful rather than harmful.
 Confidence Needed
 Adoption of an economy program by Congress would give confidence to investors, making possible the sale of long-term bonds. Long-term bonds are the life-blood of the heavy goods industry.
 'The most important subject that Congress will consider at its com- ing session is taxation. The grow ing burden of taxation contributes to the unemployment situation, a fact little understood by our peo- pie.
 "yf Congress deals less with new experimentation and more with consolidation of social gains att tailted, much of the uncertainty now in the minds of business men will be removed. The needs of our nation are such that once a stabiliz- ing governmental program is begun, 8 buoyancy in business is bound to develop. And such a recovery. And such a recovery could carry on for a long period of time.
 If, on the other hand, further compromises are affected with that part of our citizenry, which yearns for Utopian schemes, and if more busineSs-restricting legislation is launched, then it cannot be expect ed that the present recovery will last much longer than our spend- ing program.
 Unless we do have more con- structive governmental policies business men can hardly expect the present recovery movement to be sustained beyond the summer of 1889, unless it's continuation is sup ported by unnatural forces such as war or preparation for war.
 Real Economy
 There is a growing feeling that what this nation needs is that one city should expereince a de- pression, namely, the city of Wash ington, D. c. If the growing army of government employees could be checked, if economy in government could be seriously undertaken, the rest of the nation might look for ward to a reasonable prosperity"
 Discussing the significance of the recent elections, MT. Heimann stated that "there has been lot of wishful thinking in the nation. not alone by those who seek to reach the ideal condition overnight or by those who are primarily interested in Utopian schemes of unearned security, but also by business men
