American Firm
Conditions Reviewed

An American company operated
q large plant in the Rheinland.
They told me that they had
made heavy shipments of equip
ment from their German factories
to Brazil 1t so happened that
Brazil. like Germany, had eX-
change restrictions in force, so
that money owed for these ship
ments was not allowed to be sent
from Brazil 10 Germany.
The American company. how
ever, was rather pleased TO have
spread their risk and got material
out of Germany into Brazil, which
after all. was closer to the United
States.
One morning early I had an
urgent telephone call from the
firm. stating that their American
officials were all on their way &c
Berlin by plane and wanted me
to arrange an interview with the
consul general Immediately.
When they arrived, we found
that the German government had

Had TO Keep On
Paying Taxes

When the president OF the
American company n d o h @ r
American representatives visited
Berlin, they were not even allowed
TO enter the plant which they were
Inominally supposed 10 own.
or course. they had TO keep on
paying taxes. but this was about
the limit of their connection with
the enterprise.
An American typewriter COM
pany owns a subsidiary in Ger
many which manufactures office
equipment. This firm long h s
been a competitor of the German
owned Continental typewriter.
The ministry of economics set
up commodity committees to make
restrictions in foreign trade and
in production quotas.
The chairman of the committee
on office equipment was the head
of the Continental firm.
Accordingly, when the Ameri-
can representative visited the
German ministry of economics, he
was told that his German subsid-
larry would be given no export
subsidy or other official support,
such as was enjoyed by his COM
petitors.
Finally, the officials became
very frank and told him:
1--WE think there are 100 many
typewriter manufacturers I'm
Germany, and you had better
get put-of business. We are
going TO make regulations in
creaslngly stiff for you until you
fall into line. The sooner you
close your plant. the better for
you"
Nobody, however, mentioned any
payment for the money invested
by the Americans in their German
enterprise

Leadership Principle
Important Element

Another important element ir
Nazis policy is the Leadership
principle. All power is inherent
in the person of Fuehrer Adolf
Hitler.
He may delegate limited
power TO Sub-FuehrerS and so OF
down the line. The affirmation OF
assent of the public is not neces-
Sary.
In business enterprises, a leader
is responsible for each undertake
ing In the Labor Front, the one
great government union. there is
mo such procedure as voting by
members
All decisions are made by the
leader. Doctor Ley.
Hitler believes there is only one
policy, the right policy, and that
this is known to the leader and
that any questioning or complain
ing from the followers amounts 10
treason and leads TO anarchy
In the Nazi state, the individual
is coming more and more to
occupy a particular status in life
which has been prepared for him,
and he makes fewer Independent
decisions of his own This is a
return to the medieval conception
of society. II virtually places the
entire population in servitude.
As an illustration, take the
hereditary peasantry who make
up the bulk Of Gernany's farmers.
These farmers are tied 10 the land
They cannot leave II; they can
not mortgage their property and
crops.

must carry on with the farm. He
must support the younger brothers

There already has been con-
siderable agitation for the intro

remain a barber and presumably
marry a BARRIERS daughter. but
the development has not gone this
far Vet.

Useless Discussing
Government Type

Under this situation the diStinc-
ton between capitalism and So
cialism disappears. There is no
point in discussing whether Ger
many is socialistic because all
capital is at the immediate dis
poSal Of the government. Hitler
rightly believes that he has re-
stored the "Primscy of Politics. {"
When a mans life is a forfeit
al the within OF government Off
cialS, il makes no difference
whether he has title 10 his prop
'erty or not.
In this way the Nazis have
extended their control over Ger
man economy without the neces-
sity of creating a new body of
rules or party dogmas.
They move straight ahead. right
to their detectives. without having
TO worry about maintaining the
party line or conforming TO any
particular economic creed.
The government does not need
TO confiscate the property of large
industrial firms. An official needs
only 10 suggest that gift of a
certain sum would be in order and
the hint does not need to be made
twice.
Even such industrial giants as
Krupp and the United Steel
Works readily acted on the sug-
gestion that they turn over some
of their most valuable coal mines
and ore properties to the official
Hermann Goering works without
any compensation except almost
worthless stock.
