cred her own customers.
An article in the London Econ
omist points out some of the
mechanisms by which Germany
sews up trade. Suppose tobacco,
oil and what are needed. All these
are available in the Balkan
countries. Germany offers to buy
large supplies of these goods,
She win pay ask marks, which
are good only for purchase OF
German goods in return.
Maybe the Balkan countries
don't like to be tied up to buying
only German goods, so they OBJ
Iect to the deal. Germany
promptly offers to pay higher
than the world market price.
Farmers, eager for an opportun-
lty to sell al high price, insist
that the deal SO through. And
since peasants in the Balkans
outnunber everybody else. they
have 10 be satisfied.
That leaves the Balkan banks
loaded with ask marks with
which they can buy only German
goods. Now II a Balkan importer
has been used to buying British
shoes or fahircs or steel. he will

Germany because the hanks have

Establish Bird And Game
Refuge On Lower Gulf Keys

the vessels operating in this Sec
ton. 1t is quite likely also that
Mr. .Shultz will be interested in
cooperating with the State Con-
servation Commission in its eff
forts to preserve the sponges in
lower Monroe County waters.
"Biologically speaking, this area
is an almost untouched treasure
house and it is almost certain that
the scientists of the Bureau will
find much of interest and value
in the refuge. There is no reason
why Key West should not become
a mecca for the scientific collector

NO MACKEREL
CATCHES YET
COMMERCIAL BOATS TRIED
LAST NIGHT BUT TO
NO AVAIL -

Although number of the
mackerel and kingfish fleet of
the Thompson Fish Company
went out last night no catches
were reported.
II was hoped that there might
be catches of mackerel, though
the kingfish usually come down
later, but all efforts were unsuc-
cessful. Commercial kingfishing
usually begins around January /.
The market, too, has been
elutted recently over the Thanks

The u. S. Bureau of Biological
survey bird and game refuge on
the Gulf Keys from the Mar
quesas on the West to Little Pine
Key which has been proposed for
some time has been finally APP
proved, E. M. Moore Audubon So

The area comprises all the wa

main KEYS to the east to the open
waters of the Gulf. The refuge
was established principally to
protect the great white herons,
which are still in some danger of
determination.
F. w. Shultz, field officer in

there will be no interference with
fishing activities or with sponge

So. Carolina Man
Released In Old
Contempt Case

COLUMBIA, S. c., March 20
(UP)-The South Carolina SUI
premc court last night affirmed
Associate Justice ID. G. Bakers
order releasing Richard Johnson
of Charleston from the custody of
joint legislative committees mar
shall.
A committee, appointed by the
1887 legislature to investigate
law enforcement agencies, placed
Johnson in the marShal's custody
for contempt because he refused
to answer the committees ques-
tons.
Johnson contcndcd his answers
might incriminate himself.
He appealed to Justice Baker
for a writ of habeas corpus. Ba-
ker granted it and the committee
asked the entire court for a ruling.
The court held Johnson was in
his constitutional rights in refuS-
ing to answer the questions.
The high tribunal pointed out
the committees report was to have
been submitted on February Is
but the authority of the committee
continues unless and until some
further action on part of the gen
eral assembly is taken"
The committee had held up its
final report until it learned wheth-
