GOERING'S TASK

Germany's Four Year Plan

PRESENT SITUATION

In connection With General Goering's recent appointment in charge of Germany's Four Year Plan the following article whi give an indication regarding, the present situation at the com- mencement of his task.

Among the raw materials of which Germany "has an abundant supply, coal is undoubtedly of AB- predominating importance. suming that its consumption con- the tinues along normal lines, available stocks of unmined pit- coal will last for another 2,000 and those of unmined brown coal or galte for another 400 years. been so Technical progress has considerable in recent years that both these kinds of fuel can now difficulty, be converted, without into superior-grade petrol (gaso- The managements.of the ne), Ruhr coal-mines have announced that a'start has already been made in setting up plants for the liquefaction of coal and that it wil probably be possible before long to effect a notable lowering of the cost of the process.

PETROL CONSUMPTION

How important the problem of coal liquefaction really is may be Inferred from the fact that Ger- many annually consumes about 1,500,000 tons of petrol (gasoline), 800.000 tons of gas oll and 200,000 tons or heating oil, in addition to certain other fuels. Moreover, the motorisation of the Country A proceeding at top speed, and the number of power-driven vehicles has increased by 1,000,000 during the past four years. It is there- but natural that Germany fore desires to make herself indepen- dent in this part of her economic activities, falling which she would run the risk of being seriously handicapped' in the event of any political complications in which she might find herself involved.

The position is very similar in It has been months known for several

FOREIGN COMMERCE, AFFECTED

The working of the 4-year plan will no doubt affect the present structure of Germany's foreign not commerce, although it does follow that she will automatically reduce her imports of all foreign raw materials. It was emphasised in the Nuremberg manifesto that the money no longer required for the purchase of certain materials abroad will be mainly spent on the purchase of foodstuffs and on still
