And What
They Do
Liechtenstein Prince
Now Is Leaning
Toward Nazis
BY LEMUEL F. PARTON.

When wasp gets q half Nelson
on q beetle, he stings, unerringly, q
tiny ganglion in the back Of tho
beetles neck. This puts the beetle
to sleep for the winter, and the
wasp hangs himup on his meat rack
until he can get around to ingest-
ing him in leisurely and dignif1ed
manner. Adolf Hitler has found
one Of the central financial ganglia
Of the continent in the midget state
of Liechtenstein, chalked up today
for Der Fuehrer's next push-over.
There are, in this tiny principality
about 1900 world corporations and
1928 citizens. Liechtenstein has
one policeman and no army and no
protecting treaties. So 1t would
seem to be somewhat out on a limb.
Standard Oil, Royal Dutch Shell
and large galaxy of imposing
British oil and munitions corpora
tions a1e centered in this Delaware
of Europe" as Liechtenstein is
called.
The ruling prince, 32-year-old
Franz Joseph, has been hold-out
against German penetration, but,
according to today's news dis
patches, has taken membership in
Herr Hitler's storm troopers. and,
according to all accounts. his little
country is "in the bag" for the
Nazis. The prince, a diligent, per-
sonable and patriotic young man,
has been dickering with the Demo-
cratic powers for protection, but,
getting none. seems inclined to let
nature take its course.
It was just a year ago that a.
year-old Prince Franz I handed tho
government to his grand-nephew,
enjoining him to defend the ancient
constitution" of Liechtenstein. Con-
sidering his one-man army, that was
pretty large order, but he did the
best he could.
Franz Joseph is the son Of former
Crown Prince Alloys. who re-
nounced his rule in favor Of his
eldest son. For II years, until 1929,
the year Of the accession Of Franz I,
the country was ruled by Good
Prince john" and, having neither
oil, land, nor minerals, was known
as Europe's "Oasis of Happiness"
1t was in 1928 that they got tho
idea of inviting corporations by
abolishing taxes.
On March of this year, Prince
Franz Joseph dined with Adolf
Hitler. Immediately thereafter, 1t
became necessary to combat the
Jewish menace in Liechtenstein.
There was some embarrassment due
to the shortage of Jews to combat.
with a possibility that they might
have to import some. The 1900
world -girdling corporations are CEN
tered in two old Office buildings in
the capital city of Vaduz, with q
population of LOO.

volved.
What is to be the aftermath in
Spain? That is the question which
since the fall of Madrid has been
giving the Department of State, as
well as other Government depart
ments, gravest concern. Among
the many vexatious problems which
worry the department today, none
probably Is a source of more real
anxiety, its officials admit. They
are deeply concerned not only as
to what may happen further OH
the Iberian peninsula itself, hut
also as to effects far beyond its
bounds. With the vast destruction
of property and the untold human
misery and suffering caused by
the war itself, officials here are de-
sirous that no further destruction
than possible, either of life or prop:
erty, be permitted in the "mopping
up process which must follow the
Franco victory. Estimating that
tens of thousands, perhaps hun
dreds of thousands of refugees and
temporarily homeless people will
have to be taken care of III some
way, the department Is making
most careful analysis of the entire
Spanish situation in an effort to
decide on its own future action and
to help IN solving the problems
peace has brought.
Statisticians might find it inter-
esting to estimate, if not to calcu-
late exactly, the number of en-
graved invitations and personal
cars and the number of reams of
fine stationery which will be used
here during the next few months in
connection with the coming visits
of the King and Queen of Great
Britain; the Crown Princes and
Princesses of Denmark and Norway:
the President of Nicaragua and
Sonora de Somoza, and Prime Min
lister Valera of the Irish Free State.
Never before in the history of the
Capital has such an array Of celeb
rites entered its gates within such
q short period of time. Several of
them will be here at the same time.
Press laison officers already have
arrived from several of the coun-
tries to arrange for the publicity
covering the visits and a consider
able number of newspaper corre-
spondents are expected later.
Michael j. McDermott, chief of the
division of current information of
the State Department. is looking
forward to busy spring season.
When Wilbur j. Carr, who had
been chief of the Consular Bureau
of the State Department for many
years, was sent to Prague in July,
1887, as American Minister to
Czecho-Slovakia, little was it real
lied that in less than two years he
would be a diplomat without

was still in Prague, although he had

to leave at his convenience. To
