Hitler Trade Policies Began
Digging Eastward 4 Years 4 go
Commerce Figures Haze Revealed His
Observation-Disclosures Program
for All Who Would Look.

Let the Department Of Commerce
trade reviewer explain:
state domination of the national
economy has become more distinct
$50. The economic structure follows
a certain pattern, one government in
tervention following or forcing another,
with the line of demarcation between
politics and economics growing fainter
all the time -. German economy
is being radically reshaped in har-
mony with the new political structure
Frequently - imports Of COM
modities are obtained at an excessive
price in exchange for subsidized ex-
ports y"
The reviewer was writing that ex-
PLANTATION two years ago, long before
the world suspected the coming alb
sorption of Austria, and the action
against nettlesome little Czechoslo-
vakia. The expert was showing how
Germany was willing to lure Balkan
business by offering high prices and
pay her own industries bonus to sell
machinery back within the same trad
ing zone to accomplish that push to
the east.
Rumanian oil and wheat, Yugo-
slav1an prunes and dried fruits, Bull
garian lard, all came Germany's way,
and she shipped back machinery, pre-
cision tools and thousand and one
manufactured articles.
Commerce Distorted.
Naturally, as the Department of
Commerce experts explain. this
amounted to commercial distortion
and subjected the whole economic
machinery of the nation to strain.
The next step was to gain more
territory and to attempt to exercise
closer control over the newly created
German sphere Of influence. That
helps to explain annexation Of Aus
tria, with its command over that his
toric artery OF trade-the Danube. It
also throws better light on the new
Hungary. which may cut of Czecho-
slovakia from that Danubian valley.
And now comes agitation to gain Sude-
tenland and military command of
the strategic mountains surrounding
Czechoslovakia on the west and north.
The unfolding Of that plan naturally
involves further economic pressure on
Hitler's part. The final settlement
with the Czechs will show just how
successful Hitler has been in the eco
nomic sphere. And the economic
sphere. in the long run, is more vital
than the military-for economics is

II you stop at the headlines you'll
get the impression that Adolf Hitler
is only this year beginning his push
to the east-that goth century dream
Of all German empire builders.
But if you had been checking the
figures piled up by the men who keep
tabs on the worlds commerce for Uncle
Sam, you'd know that Hitler began
four years ago to dig the foundation
for economic leadership eastward.
These experts have been talking
and writing about Hitler's "Drang
Mach Osten" (march to the east) for
two years. OF course, they don't use
that howery figure Of international
speech. They simply use commercial
facts.
Here's what's been happening:
Back in 1884. the year after Hitler
ascended to power, he began to turn
German eyes again toward South
eastern Europe-as they were in 1914.
Eastward, he said, was self suf1iciency,
and If you want to win back your
place in the sun, you've got to be self
sufficient.
Tricked Into Cooperation.
German buyers began to offer higher
prices to the Balkan countries for their
raw material and foodstuffs. Trade
sprang up.
But when 1t came time to collect
the bills in Berlin, the Balkan states
discovered they had to spend German
money In Germany. Then they learned
that Germany would be only too glad
TO sign up clearing arrangements. In
economies that means: You scratch
my back and I'll scratch yours. Well,
. sale with a string attached was bet
ter than no sale at all. so it was deal
Yugoslavia. Bulgaria, Rumania,
Greece. even Italy and Turkey, began
to trade more heavily with Germany
and sign up on German terms. The
three-year period, beginning in 1884
and ending in 1896, tells the story
Rumania's trade increased by one
third, Hungary's went up by half
Yugoslavia's doubled. 1t was about
the same with Turkey, Italy and
Greece.
q. S. Trade About Halved.
But at the same time, Germanys
trade with free exchange nations, such
as the United States, was going down
In proportion. Trade with France and
the United States was almost halved
Traffic with Russia, Poland, and most
important of all-Czechoslovakia
slowed to a mere dribble.
Why did Germany take this course?
Because % Germany desired above
all else to establish her own economic
and political sphere, and ca she had
no gold foreign exchange) to spare
to buy her way. The Balkan states
especially had the raw materials that
Germany wanted. They were close to
home. They were also having a hard
time in the world market because of
the hangover from the 1929 depression.
Therefore it was natural to cut of
industrial America and France, and,
more important. over-industrialized
Czechoslovakia. What point was there
in trading with Czechs, when they,
too, were trying to establish their own
little industrial empire, almost up
against the heart Of the great German
industrial system?
How did Germany change the
stream Of her commerce?
