A huge demand for dollars since
Germany's new restrictions on Jews
were announced last week, along
with destruction Of Jewish property
throughout the Reich, has caused
European currencies to depreciate in

New York banks, some went into
American securities and others were
exported-by parcel post In paper

Gold purchases recently have

NEW YORK, Nov. 17-Few in

the electric power or natural gas
industries from the standpoint OF
potential demand for their products,
according to a new study appearing
in Poor's Industry and Investment
Surveys. However, eclipsing all
other factors in the near-term out
look for electric and gas utilities is
the prospect that definite under
standing between the administra-
ton and the industry is in the
making.
There is no indication that the
fundamental New Deal aim for
drastic regulation of the industry
will be abandoned" continues the
survey. However, failure Of the
purge and an almost unanimous
rejection Of proposed municipal
plants by the electorate illustrate
the political eXpediency of such a
move. Moreover, restored conf
donce in private utility enterprise

Defense Needs Cited.
POSSIBLY, the demonstrated need
for some additional power facilities
as national defense measure will
provide the administration with

me, the S. E. C's avowed intention
20 avoid further litigation suggests
mat the harsher features of the
Utility Act will be reasonably ad-
ininistered and that it will be years
;efore required adjustments can be
accomplished.

should not prove so damaging as in
the past. And with prospects favor

Rate Reductions Faced.
The natural gas industry must

economic side Of international affairs
may indicate the direction of Chamber
lain's next effort at appeasement. Po-
litically, he has failed to break the
deadlock between the dictatorial and
democratic groups since he took over
the foreign policy from Eden. Eco
nomically. however, he will have an
opportunity when negotiations for a
trade agreement start with Germany
this autumn.
Though there Is no reason to sup
pose that Germany is running into
economic dif11culties at present, many
responsible German businessmen are
increasingly worried over the ultimate
effect Of Hitler's f-suficiency CAM
paign. The prospect of a prolonged
armament race against the combined
wealth and resources Of Britain and
France Is also known to be causing
anxiety in Berlin So does the prospect
OF conclusion of an Anglo-American
trade agreement in the course Of the
next few months, owing to the fact
that Germany is on the American
blacklist and therefore will not share
in the tariff concessions which the
United States will make to Britain.
May not Germany be ready to talk
economic appeasement with Britain,
and, II so, may not the door be open
for wider negotiations? This question
Is beginning to be asked In London,
especially now that the Anglo French
front has been so obviously strength
ened and the chances OF Germanys
being able to make spectacular and
profitable coups in Czechoslovakia and
elsewhere have diminished.
