Trade War May Help
Bring Prosperity,
Peace 10 Europe
Move to Block Germany
To Speed Recovery by
Removing Barriers
BY DEWITT MACKENZIE,


Associated Press Foreign Affairs Writer.
NEW YORK, March 3l.-The new
European trade war, which Is tread
ing with hob-nails m the heels of
Hitlers politico- o-economic drive east
ward, may oddly enough be one Of
the things to bring prosperity and
peace to the Old World at long last.
This little spot OF optimistic specu-
iation is based partly on Secretary
of State Cordell Hull's theory that
peace lies along the route Of trade
and economic security, for which
there is no bypass. The discussion
isn't intended to deal at all with the
much debated Nazi methods of ex-
pansion, but only with the trade war.
Although it certainly is too early
to estimate the ultimate effect Of
such a widespread clash, involving
all of Europe. some experts feel that
there is fair ground to hope that it
will tend to stimulate trade recovery
by removing trade barriers.
Despite obviously bad aspects of
the warfare, important commercial
friendships are being made in places
where they didn't exist before. That,
say the economic wiseacres, Is all to
the good both for trade and for
peace.
How the German barter system
will fit into the picture is matter
of speculation. The orthodox ex-
perts declare emphatically that 1t
will come a cropper. However, the
fact remains that it is working at
the moment. and only time can give
the final answer.
Two New Developments.
Yesterday produced two striking
developments in the clash that has
grown from Anglo French efforts to
head off the Nazi leader from getting
corner on every market in Eastern
Europe and the Balkans. The
democracies naturally are impelled
largely by the fact that absolute
Hitlerian economic domination would
ipso facto mean political control.
First came word of commercial
accords projected between France
and Rumania, and France and Yugo-
slavia. This represented French
countermove to the sweeping Ger
man-Rumanian trade agreement
signed a week ago, and other Nazi
economic penetration in that part of
Europe.
simultaneously, Germanys master
salesman and minister of economics,
Walther Funk, stated that estab-
lishment of a new order in Gen.
trail Europe had increased the neces-.
sity of resuming trade talks with
England and France.
DR.. Funk asserted that Germany
was ready to do business with the
world. That is, by her own methods.
The world, he held, was at the part
ing of the ways. Either it must
surrender to the gold power of

It's only couple Of months ago
that Herr Hitler himself spoke freely
of Germany's bad economic situa-
ton and declared that she must
export or die" England gave a
quick echo-in effect. ITS the same
with U.s."
At that time British Premier
Chamberlain offered trade to Ger
many. But along came the Nazi
dismemberment Of Czecho- -Slovakia
to stymie the suggestion. DR.. Funk's
bid now for reopening of the trade
question with the Anglo-French
brotherhood forms an important

France. These smaller countries
wanted to safeguard themselves by
lessening their dependence on Ger
many.
Turkey for one got a credit loan
of about 10000. 900 from Britain.
But the big democracies didn't really
get into action until just recently.
While one of the chief objects OF
France and England Is to halt the
spread of Hitlers rapidly growing
political domination. Europe finally
Is coming round to the point where
1t can see itself as Mr.. Hull has
pictured it. 1t needs to put Its
economic house in order, and that
means trade,

of young, strong, progressive ma
tions."
The Anglo-French trade warfare
as projected is extensive. Britain
in particular Is shelling out trade
offers like green peas. Not only is
she working in the Balkans and
Eastern Europe, but is busy with
Moscow, the Baltic states and Scan
dinavia.

NEW YORK, Aug. 4.-The weeks

CHICAGO, Aug. 4.-Light steers
and yearlings sold actively at full
steady prices while the trend on
steers otherwise was slightly lower.
Predominance of medium weight
and heavy steers in connection with
hot weather, sluggish and unevenly
lower dressed beef markets set the
stage for 1925 cents decline on
sold unevenly lower, with lights off
most, and Weighty butchers at a
negligible downturn, while fat lambs
finished steady to 25 lower. Top
steers made 1890, hogs 6.85 and
lambs 900.
Demand for little cattle was un-
abated throughout the period and
the trade in this section of the mar
ket was as brisk as movement was
slow in the heavier field. This was
indicated by the fact that 924-pound
yearlings topped that division at
1925, while only a few loads Of
strictly prime weighty steers sold
for more money. Top of 1880 went
to highly finished heavy steers from
a Well-knoWn Nebraska feed lot and
there was a raft of we'll finished
medium weight and heavy bullocks
at 9.00-9.05, with the usual showing
of heavy steers, somewhat lacking
quality and finish, at 825-8.75.
Practically all grass cattle finished
the period weak to 25 cents lower,
while the trade on replacement
steers was fairly dependable, espe-
cially on Southwest calves at 900
1850 and occasionally little
higher
Demand for hogs lacked urgency
on local and outside account. Price
trend was therefore against the
selling side in spite of Slight supply
abridgement. Weights from 16O-240
pounds lost 25-35 cents, with 24O-3OG
pounds at 10-20-cent decline.
Heavier butchers and light packing
soWs finished steady to 10 cents
lower than last week. Top hogs sold
Monday at $685. against ST last Fri
DAY, and closed at $6.75 down. Heavy
butchers and packing sows had
broader outlet than light hogs,
thereby narrowing the price spread
In small way. Trading was only
moderately active at interior Iowa
and Minnesota concentration points
and final sales indicated a 500 cent
decline for the week.
Washington, Idaho and Utah sup
pied most OF the week lamb re-
celpts and the market worked
slightly lower during the four days,
closing steady to 25 cents under last
weeks final levels. Most Western
lambs sold at s8.60-s8 co. with a top
OF SO, and the native quota oulked
at s8.5O-s0.90. Feeders sold largely
at s7.65-s8.25; yearlings, s6.75-s7.85.

By HENRY McLEMORE United Press Stan Correspondent)

Mako-B -Budge team lost last year was the Davis Cup one with Australia, and 1t was Budge's poor play, not Mako's, that brought about the de- feat.
 It should be remembered, in whacking Pate over the head for Davis Cup mistakes, that the man is serving as captain for nothing more than expenses, if that, and that all he has to gain out of the job is a share of the glory when the U. s. team wins. In light of these facts 1t is hard to believe that he would willingly jeopardize an Amer ican victory by playing friends rath- CT than players.
 Amateur tennis is hotbed of jealousies, rivalries, cliques and fac tlons. A lot goes on between the players that never comes to light, and the man who best knows about these things is the captain. I, for one, am willing to let Pate choose among the Cookes, the Grants, the Riggses, the Shields, the Sabins, the McNeils, the Woods, and the Makes

New York, July 26.-(UP)-I for get the exact date of the last time I rose in defense of an amateur ath- letic official, but the police sergeant who is doing biography of me places the time as around the turn of the century.
 Since that time I have done my best to atone for this mistake by be- laboring the grand panjandrums of play with every key on my type- writer, calling them, among other things, vacuous viceroys, nitwit na- bobs, silly sahibs, and cockeyed Caesars. I didn't miss the heads of any sport, either, but ranged from throwing the tabor to women's gym- nastics.
 Now, after 50 many years, I must again enlist on the side of the enemy, this time In the person of Walter Pate, non-playing captain of the United States Davis Cup team. From Seabright, N. J., where the first of the four major tournaments which will decide the personnel of the 1889 American Cup side is bsng played, come alarming reports of rebellion against Captain Pate.
 Mutiny
 The players under his command, all of whom are desperately anxious to earn @ Cup berth, bitterly resent what they consider the teachers pet" attitude of Pate toward Gene Mako. One of my informers, who is back in New York to ransom his extra pair of fiannels from Chinese laundry, says open revolt will come, with the men turning on Pate with their racquets, If he insists on play ing Mako in doubles against the Australians.
 If Captain Pate keeps on pam pering Mako" another of our in- formers said, "the boys who believe they are better than Gene are likely to yank the captain out on court and give him a practical demonstra- ton of how good their forehands, backhands, lobs and volleys are"
 Obviously this is the most serious OClllllo CAAolo ohACC Vhuh AAAuCh the twice used to create lawn ten- his Munich every other time he stepped on the court. T. is regrettable that MT. Chamberlain can't spare the time to come hopping over here with his umbrella and handle the appeasing. But as he can't, perhaps we had better leave 1t to Captain Pate.
 Does We'll
 He has proved himself better than fair hand at assembling'a squad for the winning and defense of the Cup. Every once in a while he does some- thing that makes you wonder if his nickname of "Addle" isn't Justified, but on the whole he does a good job.
 If Pate does have an especial in- terest and pride in Mako 1t isn't surprising. Critics sneered when Pate insisted Mako was the man to team with Don Budge last year, but Pate had the satisfaction of seeing the team win the Wimbledon and U. 8. titles, and of Mako gaining the final round of the national cham pionships. The one big match the
