By Preston Ororer WASHINGTON Freshly called home from Oermany, Ambassador Hugh Wilson at once put his finger on a choice little piece of Interna tional alelght-of-hand by which Ger many Is wiping out much of her foreign debt at the expense of Yan kee Investors. German financiers have Invented more new flnaclal tricks than the world ever has known In order to put herself in fighting trim, but her methods of ducking Internstlonsl debts are not new In any sense. FY on time to time such tactics have been tried by private American concerns, brining on no end of public con demnation. Germany began failing In her bond payments back in the twenties and this government sent Charles Dawes. Owen D. Young and other financial wizards over there to help pull the country out of the hole. Each time new foreign money, Including some rrom America, was lent to Oermany In an effort to revive the country. sy 1830 tne American loans to Ger many had reached a peak of il,. 3 00, 00 0,000, Then the present series of defaults began In that year aioo bonds slipped to a low of $78, and by 1031 ranged from a top of $07 to , low of $27. Present values on various Issues range from $30 to $30. Then began the German maneuvers which fi nancial men have called names ranging all the way from plain chis eling to rank International dishon esty. Bonds Drop Germans Buy. Shrewd German Investors started buying up the German $100 bonds In this country at $20 to $30. Thoy were able to get them at these low prices only because Oermany had Jolted down the value by falling to pay interest or principal on them. Of the original top value of $1,- 200,000,000 of German bonds sold in this country, It Is estimated In re liable quarters here that $600,000,000 have been bought back by German Investors at a total coat to them of perhaps $100,000,000. That means that American Investors have taken a loss of $400,000,000 on the opera tion. Of the German bonds sold In this country 1725,000,000 still are out standing, and of these It Is estimate ed that fully half have been bought by Germans at 20 cents on the dol lar. Financiers explain that, technical ly speaking, sharp Germsn specula tors might be blamed for the busi ness Instead of the German govern ment, except for one thing. That Is, that in recent years no Oerman In vestor could buy these bonds on the American market except with per mission of the government. Before he could use American dollar ex change to buy the bonds, he had to get official permission. V. S. Again the Goat. Besides calling attention to such maneuvers Ambassador Wilson also protested In a scries of notes against German practice of assuming respon sibility for Austria's debts to other nations but refusing to accept re sponsibility for Austria's debts to the United States. The German answer was that she had a balance of trade with other nations which left her with spare exchange to pay on bonds. With the U. 8., however, the balance of trade Is the other wsy, so there are no spare dollars to pay off German dol lar bonds. Ambassador Wilson did not think that sounded so good, not while Germany was able to got mon ey to buy bonds at cut rates but could not find money to pay for thrm nt an honest dollar for dollar. Incidentally, a couple of South American countries have played the same trick In the United States. Chile la going about It systematically, with a rrgulnr government fund. Brar.llllan states did It also, buying up bonds which had slumped when Interest payment stopped. Lately, Brarll has backed away from It. OEAIHliTSECREI OF LINDBERGH RANSOM 8PRINGP1KLD, Mo.. Dec. 13.

NORTH AMERICAN BERI BERI The other day I commended the practice of supplementing the or dinary, everyday, refined diet, and p a r t-l cularly in c ft s a a of chronic Intestin al trouble or co lon derangement (wrongly known as "mucous co litis') when the sufferer follows a smooth diet, with an adequate dally ration of vitamin B com plex, either in the form of wheat germ, rice poiiShlngs or brew ers' yeast or combinations thereof. I mentioned the specific value of this practice for the many, many victims of masked or undiagnosed berl berl (polyneuritis, multiple neu ritis) In all parts of this country where reflnCd cereals or cereal prod ucts constitute the main source of calories. Let us see how this masked or undiagnosed berl berl affects Its many thousands of sufferers, people moderately well to do. able to enjoy what they believe are good living conditions, not aware of what alls them but Just aware that they have n't very gooa health: Weakness of the legs, especially lifter exertion. Palpitation and shortnpas of breath with slight ef fort. Pain, odd sensations, numb ness or tlngllngs In the legs, per hnps peculiar difficulty In moving the leg nt time, or noticeable and unusual awkwardness In certain movements. Areas of edema (dropsical swel ling) here and there, and some times more general edema from weakness of heart muscle and con sequent dilation. Persistent pains In the legs asso ciated with numbness, tingling or other odd sensations are probably the commonest manifestation of North American, masked berl berl- In the presence of such manifes tations, especially If there Is general mnlnlse. constipation and loss of ap petite or very poor appetite, the change for the better that follows the correction of the dietary defi ciency or the regular dally practice of supplementing the diet with vita min B complex is extraordinary. In any case, there can be no pos sible harm In trying this out for a few months. Either the patient may consume dally four or five ounces of whfat germ meal or two or three ounces of dried brewers yeast or one Man About Manhattan Br GEORGE TI CKER NEW YORK William K.

There was a courtroom scene and Howard couldn't find an actor to handle satisfactorily the role of district attorney. Four men had tried It and failed. When fefcOftGt IUCKHI a fifth did likewise. . Howard gritted his teeth, shouted: "Say. what la this, anyway? Why. anybody could do thnt part. Iook." He stepped onto the set, and with feeling born of anger, swung Into the D.A.'s linos. Almnct at the end he atopped short. "Say.' he muttered, "that's not bad." Already, every one -n the sot was applauding- Howard turned to the camera crew, shouted: "it's a take. Roll m." And then and there Bill Howard, who hns been an ace director for 30 years, became an actor for the first time In his life. Which Just about makes "Prankle" an all-Howard picture, because he wrote It. is producing and directing himself, nnd now Is acting In It.

For Instructions send stamped en velope bearing your, address. Complex Is Natural Please explain difference between vitamin B-l and the vitamin B com plex you specify for supplementing the diet. (W.B.E.) Answer Vitamin B complex means all of the entitles or factors that grow naturally in or with vitamin B Including B-l (thiamin), vitmain B-3 or G (riboflavin), anti-gray hair factor, antl-dermatltls factor, weight factor, nicotine acid, black tongue. pellagra preventive factor, and sev eral others. I believe vitamin B complex, as In wheat germ, yeast, rice pollings, various vegetables or concentrates made from these sources, Is always preferable to pure synthetic vitamin B (thiamin), altho thiamin may be given Intravenously or hy- podermically with advantage.

The Capital Parade (Continued from rage One ) many people, visit ft post office every day? Why, I'd rather have one picture In a post office than ft hundred In a gallery." Tha work Is by no means limited to post offices, for Bruce has per suaded the president and secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau, Jr. to assign him 1 per cent of the coat of every new federal building for Its decoration. Work is assigned by competition, with the competing ar tists electing their own juries. There ia no connection with the wpa's art project, whose gulldlng minds envy l"ed Bruce. And well they might, for Bruce hss used his 1 per cent of building costs to establish a living nnd seemingly permanent govern mental agency for the arta. Ned Bruce's own story is an odd one. The son of a New York clergy man, he was simultaneously educated in art and the law. Choaung the law ns his career, he began work In a big Wall street office, then Journeyed to the Philippines and hung out his shingle at Manila. In Manila and elsewhere in the Par East, he made a considerable fortune and ft fine col lection of Chinese paintings. Then, when he was past 40, he suddenly de cided to become a painter after all. Being businesslike, he promptly set tled down to learn how. painting the lovely countryside around hla friend Maurice steme'a place at Antlcoii, among the Italian hills. His first year's work he destroyed. After two .uore years, he held ft successful exhl imion. and he has been a well-known painter ever since. By pure chance, Ms old Philippine I ; t c nds per a u sded him to come to W.tAhmton to watch over the Philip pine independence bill when tht Nea Dcfll began. Being an entertaining fellow he once told Andrew Mellon that his collection of coetly mtMcr pieces wa "simply dttveen" he made friend among the New Dealers. The first job his new friends gave him wa the place of expert on silver on the delegation to the London economic conference. And the second waa the d::.ctorahlp of th public worka of art project, for whteh he wangled funds from teold TWA. The public works of art protec a semi-relief in character. When Ita $1,400,000 allocation va exhausted, Bruoe got tha promise of his 1 par cent cut of building costs from the president. By now, his artists' thou sands of squirs yards of murals and tons of sculpture hsve brought some thing new Into tha lives of millions. And that Is an unusual achievement for one man. Comment on the Day's News By FRANK JENKINS GOVERNOR MARTIN, Iddreulng Oregon .h.rlfn and dlitrtct at torney, t their convention In Port, land, reveals that Al Roaeer, labor bos, now under 13-year tenteno, for anon, received IJM.000 In a tingle year pnsaumabljr from duee-paying working men. Rower failed to report this rather staggering Income, and It was not until Oregon tax authorities traced down his records that he was forced to pay Income tax on It. Along with 18 others, the governor says, he paid up without complaint. Obviously, he didn't want any pub licity. ' FOR weeka labor big shots from all over the country have been thun dering at Oregon's so-called antl picketing law, which waa adopted by the people at tha November election by majority of around 50,000. Thoy are giving the Impression that If the law Isn't declared unconstitutional, or repealed, or got rid of somehow, Oregon will be read out of the Union. In view of repeated advice from labor sources to give the Wagner act a thorough trial before even propos ing to AMEND It, this furious deter mination to dynamite the new Ore gon labor law before It has had ANY TRIAL WHATEVER hasn't seemed good strategy. rrE new Oregon labor law Isn't Just an antl -picketing law. ft contains this section: "It shall be unlawful for any organization, association or per son legally authorized to act as collective bargaining agent or representative of laboring people to make any charge or exaction for initiation fees, dues, fines or other exactions which will create a fund in excess of the LEGITI MATE requirements of such or ganization, association or person In carrying out the LAWFUL purpose or activities of such or ganization, association or person. Every such organization, associa tion and person shsll keep ac curate books Itemizing all re ceipts and expenditures and the PURPOSE of such expenditures. ANY MEMBERS of any labor or ganization or association shall he entitled st all reasonable times to Inspect the books, records end accounts of such association or organization, or ANY AGENT OR REPRESENTATIVE thereof, and to have an accounting of all money and property thereof." JF you were a big shot, collecting ft duea from large numbers of Utt'.o people whose scale of living is such that their duea represent a real sacri fice, you wouldn't want them to know you got 1333.000 in a single year, would you? The new Oregon labor law MAKES THIS KNOWLEDGE AVAILABLE to the dues-paying members. Mayoe that's why these big shots are so frantically eager to scuttle It. THIS writer voted sgalnst the new Oregon labor law. But this Ros ser Hncldent makes him wonder If he may not have been wrong. 4 Communications Praises Local Firemen To the Editor: Tt Is with a feeling of gratitude that I speAk of tha excellent work done by the Medf.ird fire department at the fire that destroyed the roof of the house I own on south Ivy street last Thursday afternoon. The speed with which the blsze was put out and the success In keeping the flames from spreading to adjacent homes speak volumes for the effici ency of the department. The way in which the furniture wwa saved oy covering It with salvage blanketa shows the thoroughness and con slderateness with which the deport ment functions. Chief Elliott snd all the men of the department are to be compli mented. I feel very grateful to them. Praise should be extended also to others who helpod at the fire. These included the California Oregon Pow er company, the city Inspector's de partment, the Insurance company whose agent was very prompt and the Insurance adjustor.
