The German government protested

name the foreign source of their aid.

ANT[NEW DEALERS
NOT So CONF F|DENT
More Worried Than They

BY CHARLES p. STEWART
Central Press COlumniSt

Washington, May IA Anti-New
Dealers democrats and Republicans
both) are considerably more worried
than they were concerning coming
congressional primaries, not to men
ton next November's elections.
Before the primary contests began
anti-New Dealerism was confident of
it's ability to renominate and re-elect
nearly all "antis" now on Capitol Hill
and to beat, for denomination or re-
election, a considerable number of
Rooseveltian legislators. They scarce
ly expected to win a clean-cut vic
tory but they did count on material
gains for their side.
Since the 100 per cent New Dealer,
Senator Claude Pepper, was so over
whelmingly renominated in Florida
however. the "antis" contingent has
been far less cocky than it was.
Florida "Explained."
To be sure, the "antis" explain the
Florida result in various ways, in,
tended to imply that it was not az
significant as it seemed.
They also mention that South Da-
kotas primary outcome can be anti
New Dealerishly interpreted. So it car
but it cannot be so interpreted nearly
as emphatically as the Pepper
triumph obviously was pro.

tian, Senator Lister Hill of Alabama

Austrian Tobacco
To Cut u. S. Sales

Washington, May IA (AP)-The
Department of Agriculture receiv-
ed word from representatives in
Berlin today that Germany plans
to reduce imports of American to-
baccO by encouraging Austrian
farmers to grow the product.
Heretofore, there has been no COM
mercial production of tobacco in
Austria.
"The new plan to grow tobacco
dOmestically is intended to reduce
foreign exchange, to increase self
sufficiency and to provide increas-
ed employment and income for the
small farmers, especially in the
vineyard regions, where it is claim
ed that both climate and soil are
satisfactory for production of me-
mium quality leaf" the department
said.
Foreign trade experts said it was
possible Austrian production would
take away the market for nearly
100000 pounds of American to-
baccO annually.

 Business conditions on the Pa cific Coast, from San Diego to Seattle are very unsatisfactory, particularly in the numbering, logging and pulp mill industries. Practically all operations in those industries in the coast states are shut down and many were thrown out of employment.
 A much better condition exists in the same industries in British Columbia due to the British pat ronage under inter empire trade preferentials and other condi- tions in the province.
