German Production For Russia
London, Apr. 27.
An estimate that altogether two-thirds of current industrial production in Russian-occupied Thuringia is being used either for the occupa- tion forces or for reparations was given today to a Reuter correspondent by Dr. Helmut Kuelz, Minister of Justice for Thuringia.

There is a growing bellef among the economic ex- perts assembled at the Geneva Trade Confer- ence that the present intransigent phase of Russian policy is explainable In a large degree by Russian expectation of a grave economic collapse in the United States, says the Geneva correspondent of the New York Times. This is not just a casual theory spun in Geneva's cocktail bars, he writes, but the sober conclu- sion of top economic officials of several West- ern countries who feel keenly that the under- lying purpose of their work on the world trade revival programme is to forestall a new col- lapse both in the United States and elsewhere.

The rensoning supporting This view is: It is not that the Nesians are waiting in hopes of developing the atom bomb and the strengthening of their bargaining position it is that the Russians believe that the United States world position, and thus American opposition to Soviet plans, will soon be 'drastically andermined by an ecommic crisis in the United States.
There are these farts making such a Russian position reason- able from their point of view:

Springfield, Ill., Apr. 27. ... Cab driver Francis Correl got to thinking about what the woman had when she stepped from his cab into the snow with two small children.
