NEW DEAL CHICKENS
COME HOME TO ROOST

Nothing more typical Of the New Deal
administration has happened since the
war began than assistant |. :. Attorney
General Thurman Arnold'S tirade betor"
the California Bar at Yosemite FRIDAY
against business and industry.
Neither has there been anything more
revealing of the incompetency with
which the federal administration has ap-
proached the task of swinging American
production into full speed ahead. nor
the short-sightedneSS which first made
itself manifest eight years ago and Is
now. at last. being shown in the full
force of its terrific impact.
Arnold said that antitrust mHeSuga-
tions during the last year have disclosed
that not one single basic industry IN ~"
United States has not been restricting
production by some device or other IN
order to avoid what induSutahstS ne
Geye may be ruinouS oVer-eXpanSon.
He said that large manufacturers have
obtained practically all Of the defense
orders allocated during the past Near,
with the result that many small business
eS face extinction.
He blamed industry for failing to en-
pand, criticizing the induStrlallstS Tor
''hampering" the defense effort He hlam-
ed large manufacturers for hogglng de-
fense orders and throwing small firms
out of business.
He leveled not one word of criticism at
the federal administration. He forgot
to mention that the orders which have
gone to big factorie, We're placed there
bv the administration itself. because the
administration believed the big factories
could produce more quickly and We're
geographically located to deliver more
effectively He forgot to mention that
for seven long, lean years the admins
tration not only discouraged industrial
expansion by verbal attacks. but actually
levied taxes whose sole purpose was to
prevent such expansion. He forgot to
mention that those repressive taxes are
still in existence, and that there has been
no assurance to industry from the admin
istration that they will be in any way
relaxed when the emergency is over.
Mr. Arnod's TRADE was typical of the
New Deal because it was. first and fore
most, an effort to cover up adniniStra-
ton failure by placing the blame on bust
ness. Compounded of half-truthS and
unjustified assumptions it admitted fail
ure of the most powerful administration
in the history of the United States TO
reach the goal it had boasted of-and at
tempted to lay the blame upon business
and industrial structure over which the
government has now obtained almost
complete control.
1t was an attack behind which lay one
fact that is beyond argument: the adj
ministration controls business and indus
try so closely these days that any fail
ure of business or industry is. of neceS-
sity, a failure Of the administration.

Viggo Hansteen and Rolf Wick
stroem have by their death at the
hands of the Nazi overlords in Nor
way wiped out the blot of Quisl-
ing. The two Morse labor leaders,
led before a Hitler firing squad on
charges of having sabotaged against
the conquerors of their country,
more than overbalance in their
martyrdom the man whose name
has become a synonym for treach-
cry and shame.
Hansteen and WickStroem. There
are two more names to remember.
One man should understand Their
crime. and that man is Adolf
Hitler. Leo Schlageter was his hero
when he wrote Mein Kampf. Sch
lageter was a German HanSteen or
Wickstroem of 20 years ago. But
the shoe was on the other foot then.
Leo Schlageter had been a Ger
man artillery officer in the World
War. a fellow veteran of Hitler. In
1928, five years after that war was
over, the French occupied the
Rhineland when Germany failed tC
pay reparationS, A railway line be-
tween Dusseldorf and Duisburg was
blown up. and Schlageter was
caught in the act.
Despite appeals to the French
by the Reich government and ever
by the Vatican Schlageter was c%-
ecuted on May 26 1928. Inmedi-
ately he became a hero of all tho
nationalist elements in Germany
and one of the political saints" OF

AT this writing, Sam Wood still
hopes to get Bette Davis for the

wants the part and told me SO, but
the studio says nix.
LACKS LINES
You'd think that a situation like
that a studios biggest star play
ing small role-would be ap-
proved as a healthful demonstra-
ton of the movies sincerity. The
chance doesn't come often because
most Hollywood topnotcherS would

town already have turned down
offers for tests. The part only

nantly, and I've never had less
than $50 lines in a picture!
The trouble in Miss Davis case
is that shes all tied up in contract

TO start work. almost as soon as
she finishes The Man Who Came

The Inside Track in Washington

WASHINGTON. Sept. 20 - This
is the S61l 500 international spy and
diamond smuggling story OF GER
tain rich man-you'd know Jus.
how rich if it were permitted to
mention his name. which can ! y
done Just now because to do so
would end his usefulness 10 las
Uncle Samuel.
Anyhow. early in the defense Ell
fort this man volunteered his Se!F-
ices to his country as an agent in
one of the intelligence units. He
had all the qualifications necessary
speaking several languages, know
ing his way around, having Eood
contacts and all that. SO he W. as
signed to checking up on German
operations in South America.
One Of the facts of life this
counter er-espionage agent had OBJ
served in New York was that Nazi
agents, when closing deal, al
wavs produced a roll of bills Of
fantastic denominations like $500,
or $1,000 or even $4,000. Bills IN
those sizes are rather rare. as you
may have noticed. and because OF
that they can easily be traced
merely by noting their serial num-
bers every time they are banked.
Knowing this. the -man-count-
er-espionage agent started 10 trail
the movements of some OF these
big bills.
THIS GETS COMPLICATED
First off. he found that along in
March, 1910, a roll OF these OK
chokers had been used to open an
account in New York by couple
of gentlemen who a short time
previously had entered the United
States as refugees, kicked out OF
Germany by Hitler persecution.
Little by little, it was found that
this account, adding uD TO- SCI 800
was being transferred by cable to
the Bank Of Panama, credited to
the account of a man who lived IN
Rio de Janeiro.
Then a bank in Rio began to
draw on the Panama account. and
to transfer the funds in US. dol
lars to bank in Johannesburg,
South Africa. The purpose OF all
this International banking was ap-
parently an effort 70 hide the trial.
US. big bills were used wherever
possible because they are sound
currency the world over. and the
f,-irr fn -
change look like normal business
transactions,
AS the money finally got to South
Africa. however, it was traced ana
found to be used for the purchase
of industrial diamonds in the IL
legitimate diamond trace Diamond
production is Of course closely con-
trolled by the British in South Al
RIGA. but a certain amount OF boot
Logging in the lower grade industrial
diamonds is carried on. The TACT
that the NaziS' were forced 10 20
through all this international un-
dercover stuff shows how desperate
Iv the German industrial machine
needed these diamonds for thcil
precision cutting and machine tool
ing.
once the diamonds were bought
the problem was to get thcm bacl
to Germany. and here IS where the
really fascinating game Of intrigue
began.
From South Africa, the diamond.
were smuggled back 10 RIO. NOV

mond fields of Brazil and there
went through a fake discovery
and minig operation. to make it ap-
pear their supplies were obtained
on the open market.
AND so TO BERLIN
Ostensibly legitimate diamonds.
the German supply was now taken
in the open back to Rio, and here it
was legitimate freight which could
be taken as legally declared cargo
back to Europe. That was easy.
Just last month. the diamonds were
put on board the plane of an Ital-
ian airline running from Brazil TO
italy and off they went.
Discovery of all this tangled web
was unfortunately not made in time
to prevent the shipments covered
by this particular s611500. but from
here on this daisy chain IS broken.
Freezing the bank accounts of Ger
mans prevents transfer OF funds
outside the United States. Black
.isting OF firms acting as German
agents has blocked their further
commercial activities. And the Brit
ish are a lot wiser than they were
before this BEGAN. so a closer check
is being Kept on the outlaw dia-
mond trade.
All this intrigue has two rather
amazing morals. First, no matter
how miSueated or prosecuted refu-
gees may have been While back in
Germany. some of them still aren t
above doing business with Hitler
if they can make a profit at it. And
second. those diamonds could never
have been flown from Brazil tc
Italy if U. S. oil companies operat-
ing South America would just STOP
selling 1OO-octane aviation gas tc
Italian airlineS.

ADD WASHINGTON BLACKLIST

Two or three American citizens
have been caught in the list of Ger
tain blocked nationals otherwise
known as the blacklist. recently
proclaimed by the United States III
cooperation with the Latin Amer
ican republics. Their names are
public property, but no official pub
licity is to be given these cases,
first because they are so few III
number. and second because in ev-
cry instance the Americans were
innocent victims of circumstances
and they have now taken steps TO
sever their connections with the
firms which have been designated
as having NaZi or Fascist SYM
pathies.
A typical case would be that of
an American citizen. native born or
naturalized who had been acting
as uperintendent or general man
ager of an Italian or German firm.
Those cases are all being cleared up
by voluntary action on the part of
the good citizens caught in the
blacklist, but anxious to get right
again with Uncle Sam.
One case which caused most troll
bic was that Of a US. citizen who
was one of the biggest suppliers of
newsprint and printing papers to
the German propaganda machine
in South America. This GringO
made all his transactions in the
name Of recognized South American
publications., but a check up showed
that the paper was being bootleg
ged to the NaZi p?opagandists.
