PSGE SIX SfEDFORD MAIL TRTBtTNTE. MEDFOBD. OREGON. SUNDAY. JULY 24. 1933 L SAW NEW DEAL REGIE A Medfordite In Europe Leonard Carpenter travelling in Central Europe writes experience to the Mail Tribune. RETARDS, CLAIM CZECHS TO GRANT MUNICH, Germany, July a. (Cor respondenct.) A Bui? Port at which many things including Medford peara re received and dUtrlbuted to all lEuropa U Rotterdam. "Second only to London" waa the aurprlalng comment ot a Dutchman who stood bealda ma a we paaaed double mllea of docka with all the newest and quickest cranes for loading and unloading the ahlps of all nations. Russian, Dutch, German, English, Plnnlah, Italian, Latvian, Swedish, In fact all flags ex cept the aura and stripes psased dur ing our four hour trip up the river from the dock of Holland to our dock. Most of Holland la perfectly flat with the water table about IS Inches below the aurface of the soil, yields era long and are separated by water waya about a yard wide from aach other, which la Interesting be cause small boats are used on these little private canals. Tm first of Doutechland comas with the border at which the only declaration aaked waa the mount of actual cash on hand. Thl la done because Germany, In order to get exchange from other countries, ells marks at a big discount pro vided they are purchased outside and pent Inside the country. It waa easier, loss red tape and annoying pawing over your possessions than 1n entering California. Except for a two minute atop at the border where Nails took over the train. There oemed to be no demarcating The Dutch wlno list and menu waa gone and a Qcrman one substituted. The same small potatoe. wheat, oata, vege tabloa and hay plantings In every available square foot were In evl dence. It was Sunday and no one waa working In the fields but many Bill Isaacs cast lines Into the canals nd streams. to incredible tJ number flapped their rage and nodded their old tin can heads In very field and, atrange tho It seems, most of them were of feminine gender. It is a phenomena easily ex. plained by any follower of that aa- tute Hercule Polret. Tea, Skyiocx Holmes, you are correct. The reason being most of the field laborers, aa we noticed later, were women Oh, the countleaa billions of nigger hoe strokes these peasant women strike dally, working with bent backa up nd down the rows of kohl, or corn pr grains. The tons snd tons of hay nd fodder which they cut and cure nd carry on their backa. The mllea nd miles and mllea they trudge long the cobbed roads from their home village to their little flat of ground and back to their red tiled roofs, outside you may admire their souses all solidly made of atone, Just like the bank president used to own, but the Insldo arrangement leaves very much to be desired. The ground floor la usually divided between the slomestlo animals and the family, while the upper stories are used for food, hay and general atorage. H IOH Tension Electric Lines are very numerous and run Into all parta of the country so tt Is fair to auppou that the rural population ts pretty generally served. All the xnore so sine no one lives In Isolated farm homes. Every farm family lives in a town adjacent to his fields and It her walks or rides to his or her work. And that Is the reason that tens of thousands of bicycles are made and sold in Europe each year. The use of power, other than human. In agriculture seems to be confined largely to plowing with oxen and even that power Is not often seen. It Is a problem of hoeing large ly. I have seen one small tractor on a Mccormick reaper and a small pas senger car attached to a rake In a hay field. There are many cows and we have seen no shortage of dairy products, It ho we have been told that there ia a large export of butter and cheese made up at the expense of the local population. FLOWER Gardens outside the cltUa are very different from anything we have. Usually they are about the size of a city lot and bealda the flowers and plants hare a garden house about 0 feet square with tiny porch and a flag pole from which flutters the swastika flag. It is Just ai If the field north ot the S O. 3. plant was In 26 by 60 foot gardens, each owned and laid out and worked by each one of us. TRAIN and Plane service Is good, reliable, frequent and fast. There are always two classes snd frequently a first class. All take different rates and accomodations. The peasant re main pretty close to his soil but all others hare to travel. They go In groups tn trains, in small motors, or bicycles and on foot. The ministry f education sees to It that the school children visit German spots of Interest. Groups of boys and groups of girls, never together, march from monument to monument under the rigid discipline of Brown Shirt men and women. There li a sound ot marching feet often In our ears Boys from 6 up being conducted to and from play, drill, sightseeing, etc. All must leArn to swim, for Instance by the time they are A years old. This ppllM to the gtrls also. At 7 a. m. In Hot herb urg, we were awakened by a deep throated chorus singing marching songs. It -was one of the labor brigades on Its way to work, yifty to seventy gray-white uniformed young men, each with a long handled, flat bladed shovel, marching three toy three in perfect infantry forma tion with shovels at shoulder away to road, fort, canal or other public work. They were halted. Inspected and given a ten minute lecture (?) en the bridge below our windows. Every boy and erery girl Lb com pelled to spend two years In a labor battalion. Prom very superficial ob servation It seemed as If war games surh as taking cover, advancing, at tacking, etc., were a part of the or- , fanlzrd play. Boys are alo given two yeiirs of compulsory army training: at their majority TK) THE visitor everything i made 1 pleasant and easy. Never was there a cleaner country. The people do not am lie easily anywhere in No. Europe and here Is no exception, but there Is a sincere granting of services paid for. Beggars have never halted us. We visited the great public works In Nuremberg and even after doing what I could to verify the figures. almost fear to give them. Literally hundreds of acres have been re claimed from the forests snd fields to build a series of stadiums. There Is one already built which holds 300,000 people. I have been In that one and you have seen pictures of It filled with cheering crowds. A 300,000, a 400,000 snd a 600,000 are In course of construction and must be finished by orders In 1640. The stadium la built In the shape of a huge square, ono side where the speaker and the Im portant people gathered being raised and having huge pillars and arches from which hangings and flags hang. two huge golden eagles flank the speakers stand. The enclosure Is probably 13 acres In area, all of bright green grass bisected both ways by two hundred foot broad, bright red earth paths. The paths are made of sand and cinders treated to make the blood red color. npHB surrounding structures are of a wmte granite, wmte cement ana white marble. The stadia are used for operas, meetings, military reviews and spectacles, not for athletic events. We have Just been within 10 feet of Hitler as he came from a re construction Job on a Jewish fiyna gog and got Into his car. He was sur rounded by Nazi officers and police for the ten to fifteen seconds It took for him to get from the building to his car and away. He was In military uniform and looked in good health He neither glanced at or smiled at the fifty people In our little crowd, but gave the Nasi salute as he whisked away. We Joined In "Hall Hitler" and returned his salute. LEONARD CARPENTER- EX-PRINTER CHIEF COLORADO SPRINGS. Colo., July as. &) Charles P.

(AP) Foreign trade experts of the agri culture department said today It was doubtful whether overseas ship ments of American wheat during the next 13 months would be as large ns during the past two seasons.
