U. 5. Officials Hope
Germany Will Pay
American Jews
Means of Settlement
Outlined in Note
Exchanges
Ay the Associ 4 ted PresS,

By the Associated Press.
Omcials hoped today that Ger
many would repay American Jews
for injury or damage suffered In
recent outbreaks In the Reich.
An exchange Of notes between the
two governments, released late yes
terday, outlined possible means Of
fsettling such cases, but did not end
disagreement over Germany's right"
| to discriminate against American
Jews.
Prepared to Settle Cases.
The German foreign office said
that If such cases should be brought
to its attention by the American
Embassy, the German government
for its part is prepared to examine
and settle them on the basis of pre-
vailing treaty provisions. Such
cases have been handled by local
authorities In the past. 1.
Prentiss B. Gilbert, American
Charge d'Affaires in Berlin, submit
ted a number of cases of reported
discrimination and officials here in
dicated they would await Germany's
action on them as test of her in
tentions regarding American Jews.
Germany and the United States,
though completely at odds on Ger
many's right" to discriminate
against American Jews in Germany,
appeared to have reached practi-
cal solution for controversy that
has added tension to the disturbed
relations between them.
Disclosures in Notes.
The notes between the two gov
ernments disclosed:
1.-The United States again de-
clined to recognize Germany's right
to apply to American Jews in Ger
many treatment not applied to other
American citizens.
2-Germany declared there was
nothing in international law to pre-
vent her from doing so.
3-Germany, however, agreed to
respect rights to which American
citizens were entitled by virtue of
treaties between the two govern
ments"
4EThe United States expressed as
"gfatified' at this and agreed to
submit to the German foreign office,
for its examination, cases of alleged
discrimination against American
Jews. Hitherto such cases were
taken up with local authorities.
Question Of Interpretation.
Off1cials, on the basis of the two
notes, believed Germany would
settle the cases of American Jews
who suffered damage or injury In
recent outbreaks. There was some
difference Of opinion, however, as
to the Interpretation Germany
might place on the treaty rights
mentioned in the note.
Germany might apply them
strictly so as to include American
Jews with American citizens in gen.
eral. Or Germany might argue that
the existing treaties, particularly
that of 1923, bound her to apply to
them only the same treatment she
applies to her own Jews or the Jews
Of other nationalities.

recall Olson.
Governor Olson said he believed
that even had the first Ham and
Eggs measure been adopted q trial
of the plan would probably have
lasted only a few months and the
state would have recovered from the
experiment.
He declared, however. that "the
second Ham and Eggs plan would
have brought infinitely greater
damage since in addition to the
central proposal of q flood of WORTH
less unstamped warrants. it would
have written into the constitution
a three per cent consumers tax ON
top of the present three per cent
sales tax and many other basic
changes, ambiguously worded and
economically harmful"
The governor went on to say that
he would seek legislative action at
the coming special session of the
legislature to extend the liberalize
the states existing pension plan
by paying $40 per month to all
over go.
Persons over 65 will receive this
amount after Jan. l through the
federal-state-county cooperative So
cial security program. The present
pension is $35 per month.

Or of the Social Security board and

no one seems to be very happy
about it.
Of course, we still have one tre-
mendous problem on our hands,
unemployment. There are perhaps
as many out of work now as at
the bottom of the depression. How
can this be? Because we have been
madly substituting machines for
men during the past half decade
to hold down costs. We have been
driven to this because of labor
union activities, rising taxes, and
an unfriendly administration. Our
jobless problem is a big one. Prob
ably 100000 of our idle workers
are unemployable. The remainder,
however, should be able to find jobs
as business continues to increase.
Why We Spent $4,000, 100000
For years, economists and poll
ticians promised us that if we could
start business spiralling upward it
would continue to rise under its
own momentum. The forecast was
that if we put people back to work
in the heavy industries, they would
buy more goods, stores would place
new orders with manufacturers,
factories would hire more workers.
These new employees, in turn, would
buy more goods; and around the
circle again. The public was SO con-
vinced that this upward spiral
would bring back prosperity that
it has allowed the administration
to spend $4,000 100000 printing the
pump, initiating the balloon, start
ing the spiral
Today, the upward spiral is un-
derway. The heavy industries are
finally going full-blast. The ma
jority, however, fear that the cur
rent upswing is just war baby.
True, the German invasion of Po-
land ignited the spark. So far, how
ever, the war has neither helped
nor hurt American business on ba-
lance. The 1910 elections, labor
troubles, rising taxes and similar
hobgoblinS are binding business
men to the best industrial news in
