In the same period, German sales In the United States decreased from (6300,000 to about (5.500,000. In support of their charges of dis crimination. Americans cited a Wide variety of barter arrangements which Germany has negotiated with business interests in other countries. Under such agreements, it was pointed out, German manufactured products and other finished goods recently have been exchanged for 8. 000 tons of rangoon rice. 2300 tons of Siamese rice, 12300 Puerto Rican casings. £20.000 worth of Australian wool, 55.000 sacks of Brazilian cof fee and 30,000 tons of Chilean oats. The examples. It was said, may be multiplied indefinitely. They all tend to Indicate, American critics said, that Germany is quite willing to bar ter on an even basis with countries that are not particularly strong fi nancially or that are not large credi tors of Germany. In the case of the United 8tates. it is contended, the Geman economic ministry, with an eye to the vast American gold re^rves. does every thing possible to make Americans pay for goods bought in Germany with cash rather than in kind. The effect of this policy is to swell Ger many's foreign exchange portfolio.

Feb. 26. Great Brit ain has assured Austria, it was learned Tuesday oo high authority, that she will insist Germany sign the Rome accords guaranteeing Aus trian independence as on* of the principal conditions to the relch's admission to the proposed defensive air pact. Sir John Simon, the British for eign secretary, was said to have made clear to Kurt Schuschnigg, the Aus trian chancellor, and Egon Berger Waldenegg, his foreign minister, that he would not fail to stress this point. Sir John announced Monday he soon would go to Berlin to under take the bilateral conversations re quested by Reichsfuehrer Hitler. It was considered significant that Sir John pointed out he would dis cuss all points of the Anglo-French proposals on his visit to Berlin de spite indications that Germany de sires to conclude the air pact agree ment first. The attitude of the BNtish gov ernment is that simultaneous agree ment must be reached on the propos ed system of security pacts, an ar maments convention and Germany's return to the League of Nations. It was understood the foreign sec retary made clear to the Austrian ! Statesmen that the Franco-British declaration in favor of completion of the Rome accords of February 3 will be followed up energetically.

Congress May Loaf Until too Late To Act on Securities WASHINGTON. Feb. 26. (#>—'With the Roosevelt $4 *00.000,000 work and relief program still frozen in d sen ate committee, anxiety arose Tues day among backers of a second huge administration project—the social security bill. They feared that, with the stream of legislation through congress slow ed almost to a halt, the plan to have states quickly adopt security laws In harmony with the federal govern ment might be endangered. Many state legislatures are now in session but about a large proportion are due to adjourn within two weeks, some of them not to meet again In regular session for two years. Thus, unless congress quickly passed the security bill for unemployment in surance, old age pensions and other social benefits, the plan to have the states and federal government work hand in hand on the project would face serious delays, its backers fear ed. Administration leaders indicated no intention of abandoning their apparent plan to leave the $4,880, 000.000 work and relief Mil in the senate appropriations committee a while in the hope that time would change the senate's mind on the pre vailing wage amendment, tacked on the bill In the face of a threatened veto. Meanwhile the government made public figures on the extent of the unemployment problem. The esti mate was that 10.830,000 persons were out of work In December. This New Deal estimate was hall a mil lion less than the figures issued by the American Federation of Labor for the same month. The total number of persons in the country available for employ ment was figured at 50.426.000. This indicated a little more than one out of every five of these were Jobless. However, a federal reserve board report said "factory employment and payrolls increased somewhat between the middle of December and t.he middle of January, although a decline is usual at thia season.’’ F. D. STANDS PAT ON RECOVERY PROGRAM HYDE PARK. N. Y.. Feb. 26 t*>>— President Roosevelt kept one eye on national affairs Tuesday as he did his hotoewcrk on linal phases of his program for congress. Standing pat on his domestic re covery program, he closely observed the contest in the senate over his work relief measure, apparently con vinced this was a better approach to unemplcyment than the dole. Suggestions of intimates that he talk to the nation over the radio have been put aside with an obvious oelief that the overwhelming dem cratic majority on Capitol Hill will follow his leadership. Mr. Rroseveit was working over special report* Tuesday, formulat ing the last of his special recom mendations to congress—the direc hip subsidy plan and the unified transportation agency. His close interest in the progress of congressional work was unmis takeable. With a strong numerical majority, he has pursued the policy this session of leaving formulation of regular bills to the congressional leaders. Only for emergency needs, he has said, will special measures be sent to congress. This was the case with the work relief bill, still stranded in the senate. No more emergency legislation is looked for. His Intimates have de clared the depression definitely Is on the way out. Mr. Roosevelt will conclude his visit home Wednesday, departing by night train for Washington. HUEY WANTS MORE POWER BATON ROUOE. La., Peb 26 jpr—Promising another special ses sion of the legislature—this one for a Single day — Senator Huey P Long Tuesday continued to direct his fight for lower telephone rates in the state. Long came back to New Orleans Monday from Washington by train, sped with his bodyguards to Baton Rouge, and then took charge of the Louisiana Public Service Com mission hearing on the telephone rate case The hearing was adjourned until Tuesday. Long is counsel for the oomm.ssion. Long said a special session was necessary “within a week or ten days,” to ratify a “compromise'' with the Slindard Oil company under which the state would re bate four cents of a recently im posed tax of five cents a barrel on the refining of oil. and the oil company would use more Louisiana crude. “We have got to authorise the governor to make that rebate on the Oil tax in line with the com promise.” Long said.

OF>—Dif ference* developed Tuesday between some presidential advisers and dem ocratic congressional leaders over whether the house or senate should set first on the proposal to extend NRA another two years. Some of the sdm l.iStration strate gists though: the nouse should act lint because: 1. The senate upset the administration's plans on watea ■n the 64.860.000,000 wofk and r^el bill; 2. The house has been less prone u> revolt this session. Senatorial spokesmen were Inclin ed to agree, but they met strong op position from democratic chiefs on the house aide. As expressed by Speaker Byrnes their position was this: *Tve heard s lot ai talk around the house to the effect that since the house has to originate so many bills anyhow, the senate should start off one of these controversial measures "Besides that, the senate Is on the verge of an investigation of the NRA It wouldn’t be right for us to bring in a bill extending the NRA while the senate was still Investigating it. "Some members contend that the senate committee could Investigate the NRA and consider the bill to ex tend it at the same time " Byrnes did not say so. but another majority leader remarked that “It la time the senate took the rap on something."
