Scandinavian Trade
Pacts Sought by Reich
As Outlet for Goods
North Countries
Reported Invited
To Berlin PorIey
By NEGLEY FARSON,

COPENHAGEN, Oct. 6 (N.A.NA0.
Germany will invite the Scandi-
navian countries to send representa-
tives to Berlin to discuss new trade
agreements whereby the Reich would
accept the balance of trade which
its blockade prevents neutrals from
sending to England. Under the plan,
Germany would also arrange for
transit to the Mediterranean of
goods which it could not consume
itself.
This prospective German move is
reported unofficially in a dispatch
to the Copenhagen newspaper
Politiken from its Berlin cor
respondent. The dispatch declares
that DR.. Hjalmar Schacht, economic
adviser to the Reich government,
has already drawn up details of the
plan under Hitler's orders.
Buyers Flooded.
Since the outbreak of the war
German commercial firms have been
flooding Scandinavian buyers with
offers Of prompt deliveries of COM
mercial goods, many of which dis
place England's products, at no in
crease in prices. German goods may
come to Copenhagen by rail. On sea
shipments to Norway and Sweden
the German sellers have been offer
ing to pay the war-risk premiums
themselves.
This is cumulative and convinc-
Ing evidence that Germany is max
ing a desperate effort to obtain
foreign exchange The activity and
organization of the German firms
also make it appear that this eco
nomic move in Scandinavian mar
kets had been planned before the
war began.
Deliveries Uncertain.
In both Norway and Denmark,
your correspondent has heard local
buyers complain that they have been
unable to obtain adequate promises
of delivery of goods either from
England or the United States. Some
of them intimated, if reluctantly,
that they would have to accept Ger
man del1VerleS IN lieu OF tnelr 1Or-
mer trade.
Politiken's Moscow correspondent
declares that the diplomatic corps
there doubts that Russia intends to
supply Germany with all its needed
materials. The correspondent says
the Soviets have neither the
goods nor the money to give Ger
many any substantial help and that
Russia must trade with England
and the rest of the world in order to
get needed foreign exchange. This
reinforces previous reports that
Russia is trying to rent Scandinavian
ships in order to send timber cargoes
from the White Sea to England, de-
spite the fact that the Germans have
placed timber on the unconditional
contraband list.

guaranteed peace" and a sense of
security on the part of individual
nations by sanctioning Europe as
remade and by reducing ornaments.
why should this war in the
West be fought?" he asked. For
the restoration of Poland? The
Poland of the Versailles Treaty will
never rise again. This is guaranteed
by two of the largest states in the
world Russia and Germany"
He thus ended his speech:
"As fuehrer Of the German people
and chancellor of the Reich, can
only thank God at this moment
that He has so wonderfully blessed
us in our hard struggle for what
is our right, and beg Him that we
and all other nations may find the
right way, so that not only the
German people but all Europe may
once more be granted the blessing
of peace
AS to Germany's currently close
relations with Russia, he acknow-
lodged that in the past he had de-
clared that the U. S. S. R. was or
ganized on principles which differ
from those held in Germany" But,
he added
Since it became clear that (Josef)
Stain saw nothing in these Rus
sian-Soviet principles which should
prevent him from cultivating friend
ly relations with states Of different
political creeds, Nationalist Socialist
Germany sees no reason why it
should adopt another criterion"
The new German-Russian pact,
he said. was not only one "of peace,
but also of constant, satisfactory CO.
operation for both states" He put
great stress on what he declared
had been his efforts to rid our re-
lations with France of all trace Of
ill-will and to render them tolerable
for both nations"
Essential to Tackle Problem Now.
In an address which some Nazis
called the greatest speech for peace
since the World War, Hitler cou-
pied his suggestion for a general
attempt to solve Europe's problems
with a declaration that 1t could
not be done while cannons are
numbering or mobilized armies are
bringing pressure to bear upon it. u
IF =" these problems must
be solved sooner or later" he said
then it would be more sensible
to tackle their solution before mil
lions of men are first uselessly sent
to death and billions in riches are
destroyed.
"A continuation of the present
state of affairs in the west is un-
thinkable. Each day will soon de-
mand increasing sacrifices -
He introduced the subject of q
peace conference by saying that
the most important condition" for
q real revival of economic life in
and outside of Europe is the estab-
lishment of Internationally guaran-
teed peace and of a sense of Sc
curity on the part of individual ma
tons"
This security" he added, twill
not only be rendered possible by a
final sanctioning of the European
status, but above all by a reduction
Of ornaments to reasonable and
economically tolerable level.
"The essential part Of this neces-
Evening star., 1939-10-06

sary sense Of security, however
is clear definition of the legiti-
mate use and application of certain
modern armaments which can at
any given moment have such de-
vastating effect on the pulsa ting life
Of every nation and hence create
a permanent sense of insecurity ="
81 believe, however, that a sense
of national security will not return
to Europe until clear and binding
international agreements have pro-
vided comprehensive definition of
the legitimate and illegitimate use
of ornaments.
80 = 1t must surely be possible
to emulate the Red Cross and draw
up some universally valid interna-
tional regulation. 1t is only when
this is achieved that peace can
reign, particularly in our densely
populated continent-peace which,
uncontaminated by suspicion or
fear, will provide the only possible
condition for real economic pros
perity.
ITO achieve this great end the
leading nations of this continent
will one day have to come together
in order to draw up, accept and
guarantee statute on a compre-
hensive basis which will insure for
them all sense of security, of calm,
in short, of peace.
"Such conferences could not pos
sibly be held without the most thor
ough preparation-that is, without
exact elucidation of every point at
issue. 1t is equally impossible that
such a conference which is to de-
termine the fate of this continent
for many years to come could carry
on its deliberations while cannons
are laundering or mobilized armies
are bringing pressure to bear
upon it.
Refers to Western Relations.
Referring then to the "unthink-
able" state of affairs in the west,
he added:
From both sides Eventually de-
struction will strike deeper, deeper
and whatever cannot be reached by
long-distance guns will be destroyed
from the air =. This battle of
destruction won't be confined to the
land. No, it will reach far out over
the sea.

Spike began speaking with note of indiffer

tongue.

such ignorance. ''I'l tell you who Harvey

their shoulders brushing, their heads bent

But how're we gonna get 'em to fight"
Spike wondered. Nobody ever does any

disgustedly.
"Oh, they'll fight all right" Tod assured
him confidently. Don 'tcha know that when
two fellows are sweet on the same girl they
have a fight for her honor - always. Just
like in the movies. Why, he said with sudden
conviction. they're sure to fight the very

eyes widening Boy. oh, boy. they'll both

His eyes shone covetously as he looked at

The information that Tod garnered at the
table that evening could not have been better.
Mary wasn't going any place; she was going to
stay home. and so the fight would not take
place some place else. His father and mother
were going to the movies, and his other Sis
ter. Virginia, who was couple of years
younger than Mary was going some place
with her crowd All of which added up to the
fact that there wouldn't be anybody around
who might stop the fight. Swell.

deaf to certain strained atmosphere at the
table.

ously avoiding her eyes. 1t particularly

10 Changes in Program

Abolition of the Board of Educa-

fenhagen report, was strongly op-
posed by the Citizens Forum of
Columbia Heights last night. The
motion, introduced by Miss Alice
E. Woodward, states that the school
board should be kept intact in every
form of its present organization.
A l0-point recommendation for
amendments to the Griffenhagen
report met unanimous approval of
the citizen group. Chief among the
list of recommendations was that
the setup of the Board of Educa-
ton not be revised, reiterating Miss
Woodward's motion.
Provision that appointments to
fill positions as heads of depart
ments be made from bona fide Dis

appointed by the city administrator
on approval of the council. Dismiss
sal from ONCE would be the same
procedure.
Federal participation in the ex-
penses of the city "in accordar ce
with a fair and equitable formula"
was asked. Senator John H. Over
tons plan was suggested with GER
tain additions. According to the
proposed additions, land owned in
the District by foreign governments
and by institutions held tax-exempt
by congressional action would be
included with Federal property in
computing the sum to be appro-
priated to the general fund. Con-
gress also would be required to con-
tribute to the funds of the Water
and Streets Department at rate
equivalent to taxes paid by indi-
viduals.
The forum approved the division
of executive and administrative
powers between a city administrator
and city council. but went on record
stating, that the council should be
elected by the citizens of the Dis
trict from persons who have been
bona fide residents of the District
for at least five years." 1t also
stated that the council should num-
ber at least Is members. The city
administrator would be elected by
the council.
Other Recommendations Approved.
Other recommendations of the
