LEAGUE SENDS
STRONG APPEAL
TO THE GERMANS

The league of nations" foreshad-
owed in Berlin dispatches must have
. stronger appeal to the Nazi sense
of revenge-with-irony than to the
small nations who would become
members.
That any such label should be ap-
piled to Reichsfuhrer Hitler's plans
Of forced alliances for the Third
Reich's unfortunate neighbors may
be ridiculous. But it is also reveal
ing. Collective security is still one
Of the chief demands of European
peoples, if we read the Nazi euphem-
ism correctly. The Nazis are aware
that the peoples upon whom they are
now imposing sacrifices need also a
promise of better future. The best
term in which that promise can be
made is the term that reminds them
of a better yesterday.
A league of nations!
But the Nazis make it plain that
their league would be an improve
ment over the one whose capital was
Geneva. It would be a more power
full league, for example. There'd be
no foolishness about the right of
nation to withdraw from it, as Japan,
Italy and Germany were allowed to
withdraw from Geneva. There'd be
no such mollycoddling of intransig-
ents. No indeed.
In fact there'd be no foolishness
about whether a nation wanted to
join it or not, either. You would join
or else. Of course, none of this ap-
plies to Britain. Britain is black
balled at the outset. This league
would not make the mistake of being
a league for peace; it would be a
league for war against one nation in
particular. And incidentally, a
gainst any other nation sharing the
same point of view about national
or international order.
If you want to join this league. or
if you don't, we understand you must
make your reservations early. Pre-
ferably right pow. This simply means
that you send your Foreign Minister
to Berchtesgaden with full authority
to barter your rights as individuals
and as nations for seat in the ia"
chorus.
You may not even have to give up
all your rights, at first. And you
may keep perhaps an illusion of ma
tional sovereignty for long time.
That depends on how you behave dur
ing the period of probation from the
time you sign an alliance with the
Axis until after the Nazis win the
war-against Britain and then a.
gainst any present Axis powers big
enough to bring inharmony into the
new league.
It is bit like a lottery perhaps, in
that you pay now, and hope for what
you may get-which probably won't
be what you hope for. But so far as
it's organizers are concerned, there's
no element of chance in their plan.
This would be collective security for
the Third Reich-all for one and for
only one: league of vassals built
by violence and maintained by terror.
Yet strangely, there is something
hopeful in the fact that the Nazis

issues tended higher in today's bond
market but the general list fluc-
tuated narrowly with minor gains
and losses about evenly divided as
the session started the final hour.
A few rail loans found buyers at
gains up to a point while those that
moved up consistently last week
were subjected to profit taking.
Belgium IS found the going tough
after an early rise of nearly point
and shifted quickly to the losing
side under moderate offerings. Some
other foreign loans, however, mclud-
ing japanese 512s were higher.
Nicked a trifle were such issues as
Nickel Plate 5las, st, Paul 5s, Illinois
Central 4As and New York Cen
trail SIS.
Others depressed included Inter-
national Hydro Electric IS, Anaconda
Copper 41as, Studebaker IS and
Montana Power 3As.
Offsetting these declines were
small gains for Portland General
Electric 4las, Southern Railway As,
Third Avenue Adjusted IS of 60,
International Telephone SIS and Con-
solidated Oil Convertible 312s.
Despite only handful OF trans
actions in United States Govern
ments, gains ranging to around y

while many converting establish
ments shut down for Jewish religious

The business in cotton goods that
did come through, mostly for fill-in
needs, was written at steady prices.
Mills refused to bulge from recently
advanced quotations although near
the week end reports appeared that
trickle of goods was offered second
hand at slight concessions.
Unsettled weather and it's dis
turbing effect on retail buying was a
deterrent to finished goods business,
which in turn put a further damper
on gray goods trade
Bag manufacturers and industrial
accounts made few inquiries,
mainly for price checking purposes.
Turnover in rayon fabrics slack
ened after brisk business early in
the week. Weather was rated de-
pressing influence in this market,
too. Occasional flurries Of buying in
sheers kept the market on its toes.
Interest In silk fabrics remained
dormant, and prices were largely

Special Dispatch to Tbs Star.
NEW YORK. April 2o.-Since the
European War began, . question
that has been uppermost in many
minds is whether the great world
wide imitation Of commodity prices
that accompanied and followed the
World War of 1914-18 will be re-
peated as a result of the present
conflict, states the Guaranty Trust
Co. of New York In discussing the
effects of the war on price levels in
the currnet issue of the Guaranty
Survey, its monthly review OF busi-
ness and financial conditions in tho
United States and abroad, published
today.
'The answer to this question will
determine In no small measure both
the course OF economic developments
in the near future and the serious
ness Of the readjustments through
which the world will have to pass
after the war Is over" the Survey
continues. THE events of the last
few months indicate that inflation-
airy forces are again at work but do
not preclude the hope that none
tary disorders comparable in sever
ity with those OF the World War
period can be avoided.
But never in modern times has
major war been carried on with
out imitation, and the financial dis
orders occasioned by armed conflict
tend to become more severe as pro-
gressive mechanization makes war
fare more expensive, The chief
hope of avoiding imitation seems
to lie in the Possibility that the war
may be Of short duration. Other.
wise, 1t appears very unlikely that
the costs can be met except by the
inflationary methods with which the
world has been only too familiar in
the past. Greater -sufIlciency
and closer governmental controls
may mitigate these effects, but that
the painful cycle of imitation and
defation can be avoided is prob
ably too much to expect.
To what extent the belligerent
governments will succeed in their
efforts to approximate balance be-
tween purchasing power and sup
ply cannot be gauged on the basis
OF developments thus far. There
can be no doubt that the dangers
to be avoided and the possible means
of avoiding tf.em are much better
recognized than they were in the
last war"
