THE CONTAMINATION" OF
RUMANIAN INDUSTRY
By MILTON sROWN. J.I.A.

slxiIIfully executed by Rumania
since the start Of the war under
the leadership of King Carol came
to an end in mid October when
FIitIerite troops were permitted to
cross her borders without shot
being fired. King Carol was forced
into exile and q prO-Nazi govern
ment came into power under the
nominal suzerainty of King Mi
hal, Carols SON.
Hardly had the German troops
set foot on Rumanian soil when
the Nazis started an equally blood
less but equally important econom-
ic penetration of the country and
brought home to the populace the
fun meaning of Nazi overlordship.
According to uncensOred dis
patches reaching Belgrade this Ma
Il drive to obtain control over all
important Rumanian factories and
businesses, whether controlled by
Rumanian Jews or Gentiles, was
1n fun swing early In November,
in many instances riding rough
shod over the wishes of the pro-
Nazi Iron Guardists.
Backed by thousands Of Hitler's
fighting men, German economic
interests daily widened their way
over the country's economic acti-
vities, apparently determined at
all costs to keep Runania's indus
tries working at top speed to pro-
vide the Reich with products it so
badly needs.
The German Wirtschaftstab (ec-
onOmic staff at Bucharest was re-
ported buying out Jewish enter
prises with American dollars paid
1 New York and in many cases
as keeping on the erstwhile jew
h owners and permitting them
% run the enterprises for them.
III These tactics were in direct OPP
position to the Iron Guard, which
had planned to take over such bus
inesses itself, GUST the Jews and
replace them with favored Guard
lists. Reliable reports indicated that
the Nazis were paying scant heed
to stringent laws banning Jews
from industry and business and do
ing pretty well as they pleased.
The so-called denomination" pro-
gram of the Iron Guard was be-
coming in effect the "Germaniza-
ton" of Rumanian industry.
The foremost German industrial
ist in Rumania is Albert GOering,
younger brother of Field Marshal
Hermann GOering, who is a MEM
Der of the board of at least five
Rumanian steel and munitions
trusts. A reported brush between
GOering and a Rumanian official
gave striking idea of the Nail
attitude.
Early IN November hoHldn-
ization Commissar" was sent by
the Bucharest Government to take
over the Farola plant, one OF the
most recent Goering acquisitions,
formerly controlled by Jews. Goer-
E& laughed at the official when
y arrived and told him to get out.
The young man refused. Goering
promptly called the German le-
cation and with equal promptness
the Rumanian Ministry of Econo-
my apologized and dismissed the
offending commissar.
Jewish industriaIists in Ruman-
Ia were reported selling their fac
tories gladly to the Germans for
American dollars amounting to 20
or 80 per cent of the plants real
value. The Jews realized that their
enterprises were doomed in any
case and that It was only a ques-
uOn Of time before they would be
seized by the Iron Guard.

the form of political machines"
Mr.. Willkie attended the dinner

The nominee told the TOO diners
he was proud his Republican nomi-
nation had come from "the new
leadership in the party"
THE lights of liberty are going out
one by one in Europe, and the only
way to keep them burning brightly
here In America is under a leader
ship that believes in America"
Willkie said.
I'VE must build an economic sys-
tenn subject to reasonable social
control but build one that will func-
tiOn.
This Government belongs to the
people and we are going to return
it to them"
On leaving the Masonic Temple,
where the dinner was held, Mr..

that If you elect me President I
pledge you this great democracy
never will be destroyed by insidious
attacks from within or above.
Join us in this great crusade.
We must keep lit this torch Of
Democracy"
Predicts More Will Bolt.
Questioned by reporters about
President Roosevelt's remarks re-
garding Mr.. WILKES Democratic
supporters, the Republican nominee
said, THE President is going to
have to make remarks about a lot
of Democrats before this campaign
is over. This shows that the Presi-
dent is thinking of something be-
sides the affairs of state"
President Roosevelt said yesterday
he understood the Democratic party
had 'bolted" from Senator Burke.
Democrat, of Nebraska, who had
announced he would support Mr..
Willkie. The President also said
his administration believed the
minds Of Lewis w. Douglas, former
budget director, and John w. Hanes,
former Undersecretary of the Treas

humanity.

and hopeless. How was he going to

Then the French doors opened and
she came out. She didn't go to her
reclining chair. Instead, she stood in
the doorway, and as Henry watched.
she put before her eyes - binoculars!
And she turned those binoculars up
up, directly on him! He nearly

there like a dummy in trance. Then
she waved again! "She" waved!

1t was the most exciting minute of
his life. He waved back frantically,
and she did a few little dance steps

Henry leaned far out the window.
He didn't care what the other neigh

She was still laughing and watching
him when the maid stepped into the
