Bolivia, German FoothOld
Cleveland Plain Dealer)

Cleveland Plain Dealer)
 Bolivia under the rule of Gen. German Busch who proclaimed himself dictator April 24 is be- coming one of the most fertile fields in Latin America for Nazi penetration Germany has just obtained the right to airport at Trinidad for trans Atlantic planes The price of this concession is a thorough re-equpment and modernization of the Bolivian army with German arms.
 Unlike President Vargas of Brazil, who summed European totaaran aid after his coup in November, 1887 the Bolivian Hitler finds the company of his European prototypes most congenial. The airport concession located the Mamore River one of the headwaters of the Amazon, will place Bovian-or German-planes within easy striking distance of Para quay Brazil and Argentina.
 Ths latest deal follows a barter agreement Busch entered with the Third Reich shortly after he seized power. Under the earlier agreement Germany will re- ceve Bovias highly prized petroleum products, vege- ment and pipelines. German engineers and geoogists have already replaced American technicians in the fields which seized from the Standard Oil Go in March 1887 German concerns have also been given the right to work the nations gold deposits. Germany will export 4000000000 marks worth of manufactured goods into Bolivia in exchange thus finding large market without the expenditure of cash.
 Naturally this state of affairs reacts against the United States, commercially and politically. There is strong ant-Amercan feeling in Bolivia because this nation refused to sell when the nation involved in its struggle with Paraguay the Gran Chaco But Busch seems to be than merely anti American. He is worrying his Latin neghbors no end. His plan to re-equip the army is undertaken with view to its possible to protect" Bolivias oil interests. That would seem to indicate resumption of the Chaco dispute With Germany established there economically such event would open the way for stronger political hold than Germany has yet ob- taned in Latin America. Such development would put terrific strain on the good neghbor policy.

Even in pre-Hitler Germany country fair was an occasion for publication, for the display of oue- ribbon hogs champion beef cattle, colossal pumpkins, for trottng races and sde-shows But what the Nazs hail as the greatest agricultural show on earth at Leipzig emphasizes not plenty but want. Minister of Agriculture Darre left doubt about that in hs open ing address. It is only when digntarles of hs rank admonish their hearers to tighten their belts by an- other hole or when the guardedy worded reports of the Institut fur onunkturorschung and the Reich skredgesellschaft issued that we learn how hard is the way of the territorial transgreSSor
 So far from profiting by the Anschuss of Austria, Germany finds herself agrculturay worse off than she was before. In recent years Austria was unable to meet than 76 per cent of her food require ments In 1886 for example 67800o tons of wheat had to be imported against 304,000 for Germany. Inn portatons of live hogs amounted to 7500OO against Germany's 3090O0 So with barley, maize four corn) and fowls Only in dairy products was Austria better off For the year 1886 she was able to export $500 tons of butter and 1l00O tons of milk. Germany on the other hand had to import 75400 tons Of but ter and 15 GOO tons milk Thanks to the Anschluss every Austrian must now content himself with 100 grams of butter Qess than quarter of pound) week.
 The statistical picture for Czecho- -Sovakia is some what better but also discouraging. There is still shortage of wheat potatoes, beet sugar, milk, beef pork and lard Sudeten territory was never able to supply more than half the needs of it's population And so for most of Czecho- Sovakia

The purchase of land for roads, Notifications proving and drilling grounds and airports to the amount of $50 900 hectares 800 is only partially coun- terbalanced by the acquisition of other arable land because farmers may not dispose of their holdings at private sale.
