(AP) While politicians are figuring nit eteellon com hinat Ions at Iler 'fn, and getting much ncwsp.iper 'ittentlon, ti gifanlic econoiaic M niggle Is going on behind the scenes In Germany of which the "Tone ml public nt present knows suspects little. The iss'le is shall Germany have high proteet- ive tariffs, or shnll It enter into 'i customs union with as many na tions as possible? Ordinarily opo hears a greai deal In Germany about the strug gle between the po-cniled heavy Industry of the Tttthr Valley and -he manufacturing Industries of Saxony. Tliurlngia, and southern Germany. In the struggle over pro 'cctlon vs. virtual free trnd.. how- ver. the lineup Is n different one. Heavy Industrial concerns are '"ound fighting shoulder to shoulder w li h one group of mantiffictiirlng Midust ries. Those who. favor a high protec tive tariff argue that so long as Germany Is fettered with repara tions payments, its production costs HI continue to be so high that I "iere In danger of dunipingdiy for-' Hgn countries. Therefore, the ontyj way to help German Industry Is to protect the home Industries by High tariffs. The other argument In favor of rstoms unions runs ns follows; f .ertnany has become so crippled by the loss of Alsace-Lorraine and her colonies, the slicing- off of l'p per Silesia, and the placing under foreign adminlsimtlon of the Saar and Memel regions, that the only .-al vat ion of her Industry lies In branching out Into foreign coun Irb'S. Hut ns other nations would bo unwilling to receive German oods unless similar favorable treatment be accorded their good? m Germany, the customs unloo tul voeares nrgtic that Germany should tibolish tariff barrlrs as far possible. This may mean the ruin ation nf some few German indus tries, they admit, but on the whoh Germany will he benefited.

This plane, a Oellavllund wilh a Liberty motor had several very recent Improvements which Mr, Kelley pointed out. Among other things the gasoline tank was placed uhead of the pilot instead of ut. his rear. In the older style planes when the ship look a nose dive the pilot was usually killed by the momentum of the gns tank at tils reur. This tank weighing In the neighborhood of Kmi pounds would be torn loose from Its bung ing by the force of the impact and crush the pilot. The possibility of this occurrence has been eliminat ed by placing the tank at the head of the ship and directly behind the motor. itio 1 lager for lien ring Steamers American 'mirlMK ItIO UK JANIMO ( AP).
