Four-Year Plan Has
No Aggressive Design
Berlin, June 28.
General Hermann Goering speaking before the Congress of the International Chamber of Commerce here, compared the pre- sent day Germany with the Germany af" this time before the Na-, tional Socialists" advent to power. He pointed out that the Ger- man nation is now putting its whole strength into an effort to accomplish his great national and social tasks, and unemploy- ment had been practically suppressed.
The speaker stressed the progress of mechanisation and the construction of motor roads and drew the attention of the au- dience to the great internal revolution which has taken place in Germany during the past four years. National Socialism, he, said, hud abolished class warfare.
Turning to Germany's relations with other countries. General Goering declared that as far as Germany WIJ concerned there

The entire German nation knows that the gigantic work to which Chancellor Hitler had called it can only be accomplished in time of peace. other proof of Germany's desire for peace be required, General Goering said he need only to refer to her attitude in view of recent provocation by Red Spain,
In order to achieve her full equality of rights," Germany, had no alternative but to
rearm.
On the other hand. in order to completely regain her equality, Germany had been "compelled to establish adequate basis for the economic existence and prosperity of the German nation.
In this connection, General Goering then mentioned the colonial problem and said, that Germany would never cease to emphasise the importance of this problem so long as her colonial de-
sires had not been satisfied,
· FOUR-YEAR PLAN There was just as little aggres- sive design in Germany's four- year plan as Germany believed there to be in similar programmes in other countries.
"The
four-year plan is in до wise incompatible with the build- ing up of sound world economy." he said. "On the contrary..it is an important factor contributing to the world's economic recovery, as also certain political conditions which are likewise necessary for the future satisfactory develop ment of world economy."

Pelping. June 28. Chinese officials here have de- cided not to approve construction of the Tientsin-Schohchiachuan Railway, in Hopel, as a joint Sino- Japanese investment. General Chin Teb-chun, mayor of Pelping. is said to have made this plain.
ATTEMPTED THEFT OF PLANES
Bordeaux. June 28. Through the investigation into the plane crash at Villeneuf-surin Lat it is revealed that Spanish Reds have attempted to steal two airplanes from the civil hangar here.
The investigation showed that the only passenger of the crashed plane was a Red Spaniard, who had apparently attempted to escape to Barcelona. He found his death in the crash. The plane had been stolen, together with another one, during a temporary lack of guard-

"Aside from developing the Lung-ing at the hangar. The second yen iron mine and the Chinghsing coal mine, we are unable to carry out our promise to authorize co- operative projects" General Chin reportedly said. "Construction of the railway is impossible for the time being."
The Chinese were to have let contracts for the work by April at the latest but this has been post- pored and the entire idea has now been shelved. Exploitation of the iron and coal mines and cultiva tion of cotton would be without value i the railway were not

Turning to the problem of raw materials, one of the questions on the agenda of the International Chamber of Commerce, Dr. Schacht suggested the consideration whether it would serve the inter- national concord that great raw material resources could be opened or closed" for or against individual nations according to the political points of view.
DEEPER CAUSES
The President of the Interna- tional Chamber of Commerce, Dr. Fentener Van Vlissingen, in hia address, first reviewed the econo mic developments during his four year term of office and then turn- ed to the deeper causes of economic developments since the Great War. After attempts at an international co-operation had failed, a wave of economic nationalism set in. One of the gravest symptoms of inter- national economic policy during the crisis had been the economic bilateralism which fortunately is now receding.
The fact that during and after a war the victorious states failed to differentiate between the pro- perty of state and the property of Individuals is still felt to-day to be a formidable obstacle to the re- establishment. of normal world The speaker then pointed to the economic relations. Unless Gov-improvement ..of international ments succeed in restoring the economic relations during the past. confidence and convincing the year. The conditions for interna- business people that their private tional understanding in the econo- property is intangible, no matter "what political events may occur, it will be difficult to induce them to risk those mutual investments which are indispensable for world trade. The economic sanctions clauses of the League Covenant constitute another great obstacle to complete world recovery.
The Minister of Economics, DË, Schacht, characterised the Inter- „national Chamber of Commerce as an exponent of views of all econo-
