conversation is needed to eStab-
liSh these developing facts:
Any promise of payment in
oil cannot be satisfactory be-
cause it involves the unanswer-
able questions: ID Whether
they will continue to produce
oil. (2) Will it be an exportable
production? 90 Would the pro
ceeds be sufficient?

The stupidity of the situation
from a selfish Mexican stand
point is disclosed by the facts
that Mexican business has de-
clined since appropriation; few
orders are being given for
goods; government revenues
have suffered; industrial wages
are being lowered.

Hitler's Gamble
THE CZECH-GERMAN excite
l. ment was interpreted by
the official kibitzers here only
as another play in the Eu-
ropean poker game.
Hitler pushed q stack Of his
chips right up against the
Czech border just to find out
what Czechoslovakia would do.
He wanted to learn what cards
they are holding. Evidences in
dicate he was q little surprised.
The Czechs pushed a stack
right back at him without heSi-
tating a moment.
Thus Hitler learned the
Czechs are holding formidable
support from Britain, Russia
and France - or perhaps it
would be more accurate to say
the CzechS think so.
As q result the authorities
here expect Hitler to try more
moderately, but persiStently, for
autonomy for the Sudeten Ger
mans and he may try to get 1t
also for the Poles there. The
prospect is that, eventually,
Czechoslovakia will be so weak
ened by internal strife Hitler
will accomplish his full pur-
poses.
