WASHINGTON, D. 0., July U.
The answer to the German riddle can
be found where many answers to po
litical problems are hidden In the
upper cruse 01
bus Iness Influ
ence. You can
pet an insight In
to the whole sit
uation by prying
into the enigma
of Von Papen's
retention as sec
ond man in the
nazl government.
Von Papen is
not a nazl and
never was one.
He Is the only
Paul alallon
person in Germany who has had the
courage to speak: out openly agalns;
Hitler. But, when Mr. H'tler decided
to wash his nazl hands in blood, he
did not dare to touch Von Papeh.
Indeed, he did not even dare to de
mote Von Papen.
Most people laugh this peculiar sit
uation off by saying It is Von Hlnden
burg who keeps Von Papen's smirk
ing countenance at Hitler's side. That
is a logical surfaco explanation, but
the roots go much deeper. Von Hin
denburg is a tired old man awaiting
death. He is much beloved, but only
as name. His influence la ebbing
with h! life.
There are others who make both
Hitler and Von Papon dance.
The Industrial Ruhr Is controlled
by two strong business groups. One
is . the Otto Wolff-Deutsclie bank
group. It is liberal. Jewish, Catholic.
The other Is the Thyssen-Fllck Volger
group. It Is Prussian, militaristic and
nationalist.
It Is no secret now that the Thyssen-Fllck
Volger group backed Hitler
early In the game and got the upper
hand over its business adversaries.
Tysson has been the angel of the
nazia since 1927. It was ho who In
vited Hitler to Dusseldorf, headquar
ters of the steel men. in 1929. and
introduced him to 300 leading Indus
trialists. Again, In 1932, he brought
Hitler to the same place and pre
sented him to 2000 German indus
trialists as "our boy."
When election time came around,
the Thyssen crowd contributed 3.000.
ooo marks to the Hitler campaign.
That Is about all tho money Hitler
had.
No German Insider was surprised
when the price of coal went up after
the election and Thyssen grasped tne
whole Ruhr. He was made and still
Is state councillor for west Germany
a new political office superseding all
local authorities. He succeeded In
abolishing trade unions and has ruled
his Industrial paradise with quiet
shrewdness, while Hitler got the head
lines.
Tyssen wisely realized his defeated
business adversaries constuuwa' mc
onlv menace to his situation. Instead
of crushing them, he let them stick a
finger In his pie. The choicest plum
they drew was Hcrr Von , Papen as
vice-chancellor. (Von Papen himself
owns properties in the Ruhr.)
Thoso who should know something
about It say Mr. Thyssen has bigger
Ideas yet in mind. They believe he
dreams of a Germanic racial empire
stretching from Lapland to Bulgaria
and Belgium to the UKrsinc. wmcn
would include the Iron ore of Lor
raine, the coal of Belgium and Ho:
land, the steel works of western and
central Europe, 1ie copper of the
Balkans.
tf this Is really his dream, he must
be eating too many lobsters tor am
ner.
TVie TTnlteH States diplomatic ex
perts will consider It a miracle If
Hitler saves his own head. They belt-..-

Pickets Dump
Supply Loads
On Pavement
SAN FRANCISCO, July 12. (AP)
eral strike appeared here today, with
bay district truck drivers and other organizations railing rapidly in line
to support the maritime union. National guard troops and police pre
pared for any emergencies, despite the promise of the International Long
shoremen's association to conduct a referendum vote among its members
on the question of submitting the critical situation to arbitration.
Although the waterfront employers I .
agreed to arbitration, other unions
here and in Oakland balloted In favor ;
of a general strike.
The bay district, meanwhile, pre
pared for a "siege," with housewives
making unusually large purchases of
staples and motorists beginning to
hoard gasoline in the face of warn
ings from fire department officials.
Strike pickets apparently put into
action a plan to stop the movement
of trucks within San Francisco and to
outlying points.
Truck Turned Over
One truck, carrying peaches and
strawberries to a retail market on
outer Geary street was stopped by
pickets who threatened its driver and
turned the machine over. Anotner
truck, bound from San Francisco to
Los Angeles, was forced Into a tele
phone pole at San Mateo, south of
here. The crash Hurled its cargo
into the streets.
Three other trucks, halted In the
produce district when they failed to
finish loading as the truck drivers
struck, were given police escorts to
reach their stores.
Alfred Vandeleur, president of the
San Francisco Labor Council, an
nounced the strike strategy commit
tee of seven members would meet
with representatives of all unions at
a p.
tomorrow to make its rec-
ommendatlon regarding
general
strike.
Butchers Walk Out
Strikes of other unions were re
ported meanwhile. At South San
Francisco, where cattle are butchered
to supply the bay district and other
localities with moat,. 125 union butch
ers walked but.
The Market street railway employes
voted 700 to 38 in favor of a strike,
to i become effective when called by
the strategy committee.
A general strike seems inevitable."
declared George Kldwell of the com
mittee, in announcing the vote.
The Municipal Railway employes
will vote on the question tonight.
Fifteen east bay unions have balloted
to follow the Alameda County Labor
Council's wishes on a walkout.
The ferryboat men's union of Cali
fornia also will be guided by the
strike strategy committee, O, W.
Deal, business manager, said.
William J. Lewis, district president
of the I. L. A., formally notified
President Roosevelt's labor disputes
board that his organization would
submit the question of arbitration
to Its membership.
WASHINGTON, July 12 (AP) Ap
proval today by Hugh S. Johnson of
a minimum price mark-up provision
fixed the retail cost of popular brand
cigarettes at 13 cents a package of
20, or two for a quarter.
The order becomes effective Mon
day, July 16, for an emergency period
of 90 days during which NRA's re
search and planning division will
make an investigation to determine
future policy.
Under the order, cigarettes now
selling for ten cents a package of 20
win continue at that level.
The order was designed to stop
"the extensive use of cigarettes as
'loss leaders' by retail atorcs which
are not primarily engaged In the re
tall tobacco trade."
The minimum mark-up which
binds all retail distributors Is 5!i
per cent on cigarettes of 15 or lea
per 1000 of the manufacturers' hi,
price and 8i per cent on other
clgarcttea.

JOHNSON TELLS
Blue Eagle Chief Says Three
Million Put Back to Work
in Cities and Purchasing
Power Is Bolstered
WATERLOO, Iowa, July 13. (!P)
Farmers heard today from Hugh S.
Johnson, militant Blue Eagle sales
man, that all the other government
departments had not "done so much
for you" as NRA.
In the first speech of a western
tour, Johnson said his Industrial ma
chinery had put 3,000.000 city work
era back on payrolls and added $3,
000,000,000 to domestlo purchasing
power.
"That may not bo much, but ain't
that something?" bo added. '"That's
NRA's contribution to your welfare,
and I am here to tell you that not all
the billions spent in your behalf by
all other department of government
put together have done so much for
you."
Johnson said It was time for "a new
confession of faith In the hew deal.1
He struck directly at the projected
speaking tour of Senator Borah, Idaho
Republican, saying:
"I understand that Senator Borah

peak of the noble old Roman with
the greatest of respect and deference.
No man has to a greater degree my
sincere admiration, He and Hiram
Johnson went out and busted the
League of Nations in one speaking
tour.
"Single-handed, he went out to
Minneapolis or St. Paul I forget
which and took the west away from
Al Smith and gave it to Herbert
Hoover , by one single speech. I'll
bet he la sorry about that speech.
'
"He is one of our greatest men and
certainly one of our greatest orators.
I think he has done more than any
man to keep alive in this country
the ancient tradition of intellectual
morality and independence.
"I Just want to commiserate with
him a little. I know he will not
take my gentle shaft unkindly. He
won't be able to say anything of a
critical nature that he shall not have
corrected before he gets It uttered,"
Sweeping aside "stories about sub
versive influences In our government"
ls "Just plain bunk," Johnson said
there still seems to be a feeling that
NRA is the whole of the President's
program.

11. Klnw all niirlit junt to got
over here to tho iMnsliod O out
fit to the cnlf-branilinij at
Ewing llalsclrs, an old boy
hood friend. They arc brand
ing 5000 calves, but the whole
cattlo country ia mighty dry.
The government is doing what
they can to help cm out, diu
oven a Democrat can't mako it
rain, but they are going to
bring that up at the next con
gress. There is no finer and more
satisfying business in tho world
than the cow business wnen
you get half a chance. But
when the elements arc against
you you are just like a candi
date that's run second.
This is a r"rt oE tno fnmous
X. I. T. ranch that was tho big
gest in the world. An English
syndicate got it for building
"Ma" and "Jim" a stato cap
itol in Austin.
