War Moves On
Today's Board
BY j. w. T. MASON
United Press War ExDert)


Increasing German economic
weakness under the strain of war is
indicated by terms of the new Nazi
trade agreement with Jugoslavia and
by Berlin's announcement today that
commercial treaties will be negotia-
ted with other southeastern Europ-
can countries.
Despite Berlin's denial today OF
dureSs, there is reason to believe
German diplomats are using threats
to obtain what they want because
the trade conditions are so disad-
vantageous to the Belkan producers.
The Germans are compelling Jugo-
slavia to forego present payments,
in large measure, for exported goods,
and are demanding credit to be
met after the end of the war. Too,
Jugoslavia has agreed to revalua-
ton of the rate of monetary ex-
change with Germany that gives
Nazi currency an advantage of 20
per cent. No nation would accept
such conditions Of international
trade unless irresistible pressure
were brought to bear on its govern
ment.
The new rate of exchange means
Jugoslavia will have to sell its goods
to Germany at lower cost than to
other foreign purchasers. The same
concession has been forced on Ru-
mania where oil no wis being sold
to Germany at specially reduced
price.
Cannot Pay Cash
