Ronald, though Virginia hated to remember

Four previous witness have re-

startling developments in Germany's
expansion.
Behind him in Memel Hitler left
deepening mystery regarding his
meaning when he told Memelland-
ers that German wrongs now had
been rectified lin the main"
The official text of his brief speech
omitted these words, and observers
sought in the omission and the
words themselves key to his future
intentions.
Stenographic reports and a pre-
liminary unofficial version of the
Memel address carried this SEN
tence: "The harm which the rest
OF the world has caused had to be
repaired by us, and I believe we
have already in the main arrived at
an end to this unique process OF
reparation.
But the official text, released by
the official German news agency,
merely said: The harm which the
rest Of the world has caused us ought
to find an end y"
Official sources said they were un-
able to explain the change. German
editors said Hitler himself carefully
reads the official reports of his talks
before their release. by the news
agency.
In decree issued aboard the
Deutschland, the chancellor formal
ly incorporated Memelland into the
province Of East Prussia. The de-
cree further provided that Mcneil
landers who lost their citizenship
when the territory was detached
from Germany in the World War
settlement now regain their citizen
ship, provided they resided there or
in Germany on March %, 1899.
German federal and Prussian state
laws will be introduced in the ter
ritory May /.
Rumanian Pact Hailed.
The press generally hailed the
German-Rumanian trade treaty as
opening the possibility for fruitful
cooperation"
The work of DR.. Helmuth Wohl-
that of the economic ministry in
bringing Rumania into the German
economic orbit was praised in Of
f1cial circles as one of the most
important bloodless conquests of the
Nazi Third Reich.
"One can almost venture to gen.
eralize that Germany can absorb
everything that Rumania produces
and that Rumania can use any
number of things we manufacture, i"
one government economic expert
commented.
"Rumania is rich in oil, grain,
lumber and ores. We can absorb
this entire production"
The expert also intimated that
the United States was becoming
more and more uninteresting" to
Germany as the Reich extended
its economic connection in the
Balkans.
Rumania hitherto had most of her
armaments manufactured in Czecho-
Slovakia and now the Skoda prod
ucts and other arms produced in
Bohemia and Moravia are to be sold
under German control.

Hungary frontier parts of old
Czecho-Slovakia. In addition, Hun
gary was said to have taken over
some small frontier villages which
belonged ethnologically to Car
patho- Ukraine, now Hungary's by
annexation.
Whether Hungary got all she
wanted from Slovakia yesterday was
not clear. 1t was believed Germany
would permit her to keep what ter
ritory was taken, but would halt any
further acquisitions now that a
Slovak-German treaty has made
Germany formally the military pro-
tector of Slovakia.
German officials explained that
the border between Slovakia and
Carpatho- Ukraine never had been
clearly marked when Czecho-Slo
vakia was formed 20 years ago. Thus
some Carpatho- Ukraine villages had
been under Slovak administration
and these were seized by Hungary

Chile May Offer Nitrates
To j. ). for Cruisers
BY the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
Informed persons saw today the
possibility Chile might seek to ex-
change her nitrate for two naval
cruisers to be constructed in the
United States.
Although no negotiations are un-
der way at present, Chile might take
the matter up in this country
through a Naval Attache whom the
Chilean government was reported to
be planning to send here.
Reliable sources said Chile might
seek to establish cartel or a trust
in cooperation with American
financiers to deal in nitrates which
Chile might barter in payment for
the cruisers. The same persons re-
called that bill now pending in
Congress for creation of reserve
Of strategic war material in the
United States contemplates the pur-
chase of nitrate, of which Chile is
the worlds leading Supplier.
1t was said Chile, during the
previous administration in that
country, had sought bids from other
countries on the two cruisers, but
the country now might welcome the
opportunity of building the vessels
here, because of the unsettled Euro
pean conditions.

Morgenthau Sanctions
Extending President S
Control Over Dollar
Says in Wagner Letter
Monetary Regulation
Is Help to Business

Extension of the Presidents
power to regulate the value Of the
dollar would help rather than hurt
business recovery, Secretary of the
Treasury Morgenthau reiterated
yesterday in a letter to Chairman
Wagner Of the Senate Banking Com
mittee.
He said business confidence was
stimulated by the monetary powers
Of the President because they as
sured relatively stable purchasing
power for the dollar, particularly in
world markets.
THE assertion that the continu-
ance of the power to change the
gold content Of the dollar generates
lack of confidence and hesitation
IN the business world Is not, I am
convinced, based on factual consid-
erations," Secretary Morgenthau
added.
In response to a question from
Senator Wagner, the Secretary said
that as long as international condi-
tions remained as unsettled as they
are, this country probably will con-
tinue to get about billion dollars
IN gold from foreign sources each
year.
The Treasury will not stop buying
this gold, he said, because this
would interfere with the foreign
trade OF American businessmen.
The Treasurys gold holdings now
amount to more than SIS, ,000, 600 900.
Most Of 1t Is obligated to the Fed
eral Reserve banks as backing for
currency in circulation.

regularly, Mr.. Murphy said, and now
has facilities available so it is in
a position to do 100 per cent job"

Attorney General added, "of the
necessity of being on constant guard
and realize that we must stay so
close to the espionage situation it
cannot get any foothold."
