A Secret Gold Cache

THERE is now no question but
i what Hitler is building up
a secret foreign exchange Kitty
for war or self preservation. The
gold he seized when he took Aus
tria at a swords point has never
been accounted for in any OF
the published statements OF the
Reich's financial authorities. 1t
has disappeared from all balance
sheets, but not from the face
of the earth, you may be sure:
The suspicion is widespread
on high here that Hitler is using
this gold to buy things he needs
here. A certain Ohio bank last
week received instructions from
a German source to issue an
irrevocable letter of credit which
is to be used for the purchase
of certain machinery from an
Ohio manufacturer. Apparently
the machinery is to be employed
in setting up German factories
to build thes small auto Hitler
has been talking so much about.
1t shows he is getting inter-
national cash somewhere.

A Tip on Seeing Big Men

I WAS talking to very famous secretary today
who must be nameless. She told me what
every person seeking an appointment should
know. That if you'll tell the secretary exactly
what your business is, the chances are that you
can see the person you want to see. But if you
say, cts personal matter, and will only take
five minutes" you haven't chance.
That's what people have secretaries for to
protect them from just such personal matters"
These usually turn out to be panhandlers of one
sort another. So if your business is legitimate
and constructive, tell al-otherwise don't bother,
just forget it, because you'll never see the person.

T HAVE BEEN HEARING about'a young Danish
sculptor who has turned from the chisel and
marble to fashioning hats for women. His name
is Eric Moller, son of former lady-in-waiting to
the late Queen of the BegianS It was my wife
who told me that one of the reasons the pulchrt-
tudinous Miss Joan Crawford made her periodical
trips to New York was to have this chap design
her hats. Others of his patrons, I have been
given to understand are Barbara Hutton, Doris
Duke and the Duchess of Kent. The story is
that while in Spain, unable to pay his hotel bill.
almost penniless he became impressed with the
womens native headgear at fiesta and return
ing to his hotel room sat up all night copying
them. few women friends bought his first
output and soon all Spain was buzzing about the
young foreigner who created amazingly original
hats For some reason, this disturbed the author
ities-although the details are vague-and they
deposited him and his hat boxes into car and
over the border. Moller came to New York in
1886 and struggled for months before recognition
of his art brought him few fashionable patrons.

In a Bad Fix

THEY have reason to suspect

hind the move can be traced TO
Hitler's failure to make effective
his DEGREES recalling foreign in
vestment of his citizens and the
desperate internal financial po-
sition of the Reich. He IS IN a
bad fix. He must have foreign
exchange, greater domestic in
come. This cruelty will provide
him with both.
Even if he bleeds no more
than $4,000, 900 of foreign bal
ances from the wealth Of Ger
man Jews (and he expects

strain upon his foreign exchange

NEXT will come the Catho-

stand properly what Hitler is
up to. He has long been cycling
Catholic church property, accu-
INFLATED during the last ZOO
years in the Reich, and he has
been laying the groundwork Tor
some action against it.
At the proper moment IN the
future, when he is able to ar
range a crisis with the Catholic
Church, he is expected to enrich
his national pawnshop with that
endowment.
Incidentally, his timing on
this occasion was considered as
perfect as usual. He had worked
Britain into a soft mood, so soft
in fact that he was preparing
to get his colonies back on a
silver platter. The French were
involved in financial difficulties,
were promising security of the

population and cause it to feel that
the proper employment outlet could
be found in such agencies as the
WPA rather than in private jobs.
AS the last person to give a for
NAL talk Mr.. Atwater indicated
that the problem calls for action
on the part of labor, business in
terests, and the colored group it
self. He stated that there is a de-
cided need for organized employer
support in this situation and that
in the coming years much effort
should be made to remedy the stu
alton. He stated that it was not a
thing which could be settled in a
short time but would require care
full planning and persistent action.
To Try To Interest Labor
During the discussion which fol-
lowed Mr.. Sculley suggested that
he would cooperate in the effort
to interest labor groups in the
problem and he also expressed the
opinion that perhaps the organiza-
ton of Negroes in some fields I'M
der separate charters might be of
help.
Although no definite promises
were made by those present in the
matter of offering jobs, several
stated that they would take it up
with business men in their respec-
tive fields for further consideration
and promised continued contact
with the Urban League.

by Raymond Brown, president of
