BY TONI SENDER
Former Member of the German
Reichstag
The economic and financial aspect
of the conquest of the European main
land by nazi Germany is beginning to
assume a more distinct shape. While
the western hemisphere concentrates
on the present strategic situation, Ger
many is preparing for the day of vic
tory
The German press and economic
magazines have been carrying on a
discussion for several months. Fore
most among the economic magazines
is Der Deutsche Volkswirt. In a
series of articles dealing with the or
ganization of "Neuropa" New Eur
opel it discusses the following plan:
A new currency system is develop
ing in Europe to supersede the gold
standard In practice this would
mean that the non-German countries
of Europe would be permitted to re-
tain their own currency but would
be forced to adjust it to the Reichs-
mark while setting stable rate Of
exchange. These countries would re-
ceive a fund of Reichsmark and their
currency would be accepted as pay
ment for foreign goods only so long as
they retained the agreed-upon cover
age in Reichsmark.
In commenting on this, Der Deutsche
Volkswirt says that economic and po-
Europe will require long-term planning
and powerful political and econom-
ic leadership"
With their accustomed thorough
ness, the nazis are about to organize
central clearing house in Berlin which
will handle not only the trade be-
tween Germany and other countries
but also the trade among non-German
countries.
When trade relations between Hol-
land and Sweden were recognized
clearing bank was provided in Berlin.
The same central clearing system
functions between Holland and Jugo-
slavia. The new trade treaty between
Germany and Italy provides for set

Minnesota where there are several
Coop stores now operating and on

trail Wholesale, and in this way the
managers hope to get first hand in
formation on the goods that can be
purchased through cooperative chan
nels. They are paying their own ex-
penses and are leaving on the 9th
of January.
During the managers meeting the
other members continued the meeting
with reviews of the accomplishments
made by the association in the past
and discussed ways and means of do
ing more in the future, especially in
getting more communities to start
Coop stores. The question Of having
man ON the road part time to assist
in organizing stores was discussed,
but was found to be to much financial
drain from these few stores and was
voted down. The idea of keeping the
educational fund in the stores and
using that for organizing was dis
cussed at some length, but was de-
cided that fund was doing a good
job were it was going, and motion

was made, seconded and carried, that

Mr.. Forrestal has just returned

said in his proclamation, when the
principles Of unity and freedom
symbolized by Old Glory are un-
der attack, it is especially fitting
that we reaff1rm our faith in the
ideals for which our flag stands and
our loyalty to the Nation over which
it has waved for more than a CEN
tury and half"
The President recalled that the
late President Wilson, in a proc
lamation of May 80, 1916, set the
June IA date as one on which
Americans might "rededicate our
selves to the Nation, one and in
separable and stand with united
hearts for an America which no
man can corrupt, no influence draw
away from its ideals, no force di-
vide against itself-a Nation signal

dividual conception alike of its
duties and its privileges, its obli-
cations and its rights"

Contrary to experience at other

completion. On January 1, when
the project was approximately 80

Representative Engel, Republican,
of Michigan said today S1,808,000
was paid out in overtime wages on
construction work at Camp Meade.
Md, including some premium"
overtime for work not actually per-
formed, in order to compensate for
higher wage scales at nearby Fort
Belvoir, Va.
Telling the House Of his per-
sonal investigation of construction
costs at Army posts, Mr. Engel said
the wage scale at Fort Belvoir was
the highest of any he encountered.
The wage scales at the two posts,
both near Washington, were fixed
by the Secretary of Labor. Mr.. Engel
said, and those at Belvoir were sub
stantially greater than those at
Meade.
Consequently, he added, construc-
ton authorities at Meade contended
the reason for the tremendous over
time paid there. compared with only
5000, 900 at Belvoir, was because "the
only way they could hold their car.
pS1leCIo d1i0 IdbOA Clo WdS W pay
them in premium for overtime an
amount equal to the amount of the
differential in the wage scales be-
tween Camp Meade and Fort Bei-.
voir.
Belvoir costs Double Estimates"
What mean by premium for
overtime" he added, "is excess time
allowed for which no services were
rendered. For instance, If a car
penter worked 48 hours a week and
was working on a 4o-hour-a-w
basis, he was paid for 50 hours
under time-and-a-haf schedule.
He was paid for the 48 hours he
worked and four hours overtime for
which he did not work"
Mr.. Engel contended that If the
wage scale at the two posts had
been the same there would have
been no necessity for tremendous
overtime at Camp Meade.
He said that despite the fact that
there was no increase in facilities
at Belvoir, costs there would be in
excess of s14290,000, more than
twice the original estimate OF S.
906,878.
He charged the Government pur-
chased 500 acres of land to enlarge
Belvoir at $50 per acre which "re-.
putedly Is not worth more than $50
an acre."

Two Virginia Strikes Threatened.
Mediators hoped to settle differ
ences threatening work on two de-
fense industries in Virginia. Some
200 construction workers on the

Co. TINT plant at Glen Wilton quit
work yesterday and drew up picket
lines. Minor disorders were report
ed and sheriffs' deputies guarded
the plant.
The Triton workers, not organized
as a union, blamed division of au-

would be given jobs in the plant and
q desire for a wage increase.
