ANGLO-GERMAN PARLEY

IN EUROPE
WHAT DOES ‘AIR PARITY'
MEAN TO GERMANY?
Berlin, May 26.
The Anglo-German conversations in Berlin, follow- ing on the recently announced foreign policy of Chan- cellor Adolf Hitler, have already commenced. On Fri- day, Sir Erie Phipps, the British Ambassador, put certain questions to Baron von Neurath, the German Foreign Minister, and as a result conversations have been arranged with a view to bringing nearer together the Powers of Western Europe.
It is made clear, however, that the conference is not only centred around the points of Chancellor Hitler's speech in the Reichstag last week. These seem to offer scope for an agreement between Germany and her neighbours, but it is felt that some of them must be clarified.
There are some matters with which Chancellor Hitler dwelt causing some doubt in the British mind. The demand of Germany for

South American currencies are at Kreal discounts in relation to the dollar and therefore are attractive to the foreign purchaser of cotton. Cotton men here said the present policy of the Administration, with regard to processing taxes, the A.A.A. loan programme and the i refusal of this nation to enter into barter agreements with foreign countries lacking the necessary dollar exchange, is nurturing com. petition from other countries.
DEFINITE THREAT
Brazil during the past year grow from a potential to a definite threat. Production of cotton in that nation has trebled compared with the 1932-33 crop and is now estimated at alightly in excess of 1,100,000 bales. Many of Ameri- ea's export markets have been captured by Brazilian enterprise and while American exports have dropped some 2,000,000 bales behind a year ago,' exports of the South American country have risen to the largest in its history.
Cotton observers fear the same! situation may develop in the Argentine.
