Rervl Meirossee was, staying it
the same hotel with Jackie. She
had been staying there ever since
Roger had been found, and rcmov-
ed to the hospital. The momeht
she had received word that the
silver plane had been. forced down
She had boarded the first, trans
continental ship headed back East.
The nurses told Jackie, over
and over, how wonderful Mrs.
Melrose had been. They said it
was doubtful if Roger. could have
held on to the slender thread of
life without her. She had scarce
" left his side, day OF night.
Gle certainly wouldn't be alive
today, if it weren't for Mis-. Mel
rose" Doctor Watson, who at
tended Roger, added his word of
praise. "My, but she is a wonder
full woman"
That was what Roger had said
about Beryl too. More than once
he had told Jackie how wonder
full he thought BerHl was. In the
anxious days that were to follow
Jackie was to agree, if somewhat
reluctantly, with this general
opinion. Beryl was indeed Il pill
lar of strength, her calm pqisc
never deserted her, never for Il
moment did she show signs Of
losing hope, or bctray whatever
emotions her heart may have held,
She was wonderful to Jackie,
too. Not only was She cheerful
and kind, but she made every
effort to he friendly and to win
the younger girls liking and con
fidcnce. There were many long
hours that. they had to spend in
each others company, not only in
the hospital at Rogers side, but
they had, many meals together,
took walks around the little old
fashioned town, talked: far into
the night after they had returned
to their rooms. 49,.
Jackie had to admit, to herself
at least, that she did not know
how she could have pulled through
this trying time without Bcryl.
But she admitted this reluctantly,
too. For Jackie did not want to
grow to admire Mrs. Melrose; she
was not. eager to be friends with
her. ...... 49,.

SAYS UNEMPLOYMENT $50,
PRACTICALLY UNKNOWN

There is practically no unem-
ployment, the Nazis operating on
the idea that those who eat must
work. Unemployed men are drawn
into labor organizations and work
on government building projects.
These people receive no money in
payment for their services, but
are given cards with which they
obtain food, shelter and clothing.
Included in government build
ing projects are great four-way
highways, built across the coun-
try, avoiding cities and towns,
slum clearance projects, building
of apartment houses, army bar
racks and etc. An entire new plan

has been drawn for the city of
Berlin and much of the city is be-
ING rebuilt. Practically every city
in the nation has swimming pool:
The German attitude toward
FOREIGNERS is very friendly, eX-
cept toward Jews. A foreigner Is
given every consideration, most
of the ordinary regulations are
relaxed in his favor, and there IS
no apparent spying upon his &C
tivities while in the country.
A foreigner may not bring out
of Germany any more money than
he takes in, and the amount OF
money which a foreigner or Ger
man may take out of the country
is limited to ten marks per month,
about 81 in American money.
GERMANS TRAVELLING MUST
RIDE GERMAN BOATS
This largely prohibits Germans
from travelling outside their own
country, except on German boats.
For example, a German may pur-
chase a boat ticket to the United
States on German line, using
marks, but on arrival in this coun-
try he would not be allowed to
draw more than four marks per
month from Germany.
Foreigners who have invest
mentS in Germany are under the
same restrictions Mr.. Ewbank cit
ed examples of Americans with
German investments who must
spend some time in the country in
order to realize anything on their
investments.
According to Mr.. Ewbank, there
appears to be very little public
Jew batting. However, all Gen
tile stores bear signs which state
they are non-Jewish, and Jewish
stores are not allowed to have
these signs. Good Germans are
not supposed to buy from Jewish
stores and shops.
Jewish professional men, such
as doctors, lawyers and dentists,
are not allowed to serve good
Germans. Very few Jews are seen
on the streets, and Jewish stores
and shops are not doing any rush
ing business, according to Mr.. Ew-
bank.
According to Mr.. Ewbank, the
Germans declare that the Jews
converted much of their wealth
into foreign currency before the
German financial collapse and af-
terward were able to buy up
much of the country.
GERMAN PEOPLE ARE
DESTROYS OF PEACE
The German people, according
to Mr.. Ewbank, desire peace. This
is particularly true, he says, of
those who went through the war.
They do not anticipate a Euro
pean conflict, but believe that the
aims Of the government will be
attained largely through policy
of bluff. Their attitude toward
France, England and the United
States is friendly, and their atti-
tude toward the Italians is par
ticularly friendly.
While the official attitude of the
government toward democracics is
one of scorn and sarcasm, this
view is not largely shared by the
people. The official attitude is
best described by DR.. Goebbefs'
phrase "blundering democracies."
After leaving Germany, Mr..
Ewbank Travelled in Austria, Italy,
Czechoslovakia, and England. He
declares that in practically every
nation the people are back of the
respective government. The Ital-
ians he describes as loyal to Mus
solni, satisfied with the German
annexation of Austria, and with
no fear of war; the Czechs as oc-
cupying the European seat of anx-
iety, and the English as thorough
" convinced there will be a great
European war.

GERMANY is GOAL

The agricultural effort Is al
rected toward making Germany
self-supporting in this field. Farm
production is largely under gov
eminent control. Strict regulation
is maintained over certain prod
ucts. particularly milk and dairy
products. German farmers must
sell their milk and dairy products
to the government at price fixed
by the government. All house
wives have Il milk fat card which
must be presented to stores when
butter is purchased. At present
the butter allowance is Il quarter
of a pound per person per week.
Housewives are urged to save
all scraps and garbage, which is
fed to hogs on government owned
farms. To further this program,
housewives are given a large card
board pig, and printed on this pig
are the household scraps which
may be used in feeding hogs.
A farmer must produce and
care for his land, otherwise he
may be taken from the land and
placed in the labor organizations
and his land converted into gov

1t was then that the real fight began,
and this time it was on an international
scale. Since Zog had prepared his success
full coup in Yugoslavia, Albania was to be

knew that gratitude was not an accepted
way Of diplomacy; besides, Italy had ready
money. In November 1926, Zog and Musso-
lini had pact of friendship and arbitra-
ton signed. About a year later they set
their seals to a treaty Of alliance. An Ital-
ian loan Of $4,000, 900 gold francs was ne
gotiated with the aid of which public works

To the Editor Of The Star:

To the Editor Of The Star:
A EARLY as the last quarter of the 18th
century, Adam Smith was New
thought appropriate to that time was
laissez-faire, or hands off. But since hands
were quite decidedly on, the policies enun-
ciated in his Wealth of Nations involved
interference with business as it then
existed. The point is he saw what needed
to be done, and was quite influential in
getting it done. Today, he would probably
give his blessing to Britain's empire pref
erence scheme, and condemn Hulls trade
policy as unrealistic.
Certain digressions from the main current
of his theory. here and there show how
keenly alive to actualities he was. He
comments somewhere that seldom do two
or three business men get together without
discussing methods of enhancing prices.
Near the end of his chapter on Profits of
Stock" he says: Our merchants and man
ufacturers complain much Of the bad effects
of high wages in raising the price and
thereby lessening the sale Of their goods
both at home and abroad. They say Moth
ing concerning the bad effects of high
profits. They are silent with regard to the
pernicious effects of their own gains. They
complain only Of those of other people"
Again, near the conclusion Of a chapter
entitled "Of the Rent Of Land he says:
THE plans and projects of the employers
of stock regulate and direct all the most
important operations Of labor, and profit is
the end proposed by all those plans and
projects" And few paragraphs farther
on, he is most explicit in counseling states
men and legislators who make themselves
suckers tor knockout blow by leading with
the chin in soliciting with the view of fol-
lowing the advice Of profit-seekers in mat
ters Of public policy. He could hardly have
been more explicit or less convinced of the
propriety of making business the counselor
of government.
He says: The proposal of any new law or
regulation of commerce which cornes from
this order ought always to be listened to
with great precaution. and ought never to
be adopted till after having been long and
carefully examined, not only with the most
scrupulous, but with the most suspicious
attention. 1t comes from an order of men
whose interest is never exactly the same
with that of the public, who generally have
an interest to deceive and even oppress the
public and who accordingly have upon
many occasions, both deceived and op-
pressed it
1t is just possible that the proposal for
repeal Of the tax on undistributed profits
is an excellent instance of one of the oc-
casions on which business men are seeking
to further their own interests. as they see
them, at the expense of the public.

How the Name Of Puerto
Rico Came to Be Transformed,

To the Editor Of The Star
In recent issue of The Star read with
much interest a letter written by Mr.. r.
Menendez Ramos, commissioner, regard
ing the proper spelling of the name Puerto
Rico. So in order to keep the record
straight beg to give my version or under
standing Of the meaning of this very beau-
tiful island
Columbus named this island San Juan
Bautista November 10, 1893 and not Puerto
Rico; but the present city of San Juan
(Which by the way is on a small island by
itself was named Puerto Rico. So in the
early days when ships would leave Spain
for Puerto Rico it was for the port that is
now the city of San Juan.
Later when the island Of San Juan Bau-
tista became developed ships would 60 to
other ports such as Ponce, Mayaguez,
Aguadilla, ETC., but they would continue to
clear for Puerto Rico instead Of San Juan
Bautista. So in this way the original name
Of the island was changed around and be-
came commonly known as Puerto Rico and
the city of Puerto Rico became San Juan,
Puerto Rico. J. w. SOMMERV1LLE.
