EASY FOR ENGLISH TO LAUGH, SAYS DR. GOEBBELS IN FIGHTING SPEECH

MALDISTRIBUTION

OF NATURAL WEALTH COMPLAINT

BERLIN, MAR. 5. ·

DR. JOSEF GOEBBELS, in criticising the mal- distribution of the world's natural wealth in opening the Leipzig Fair to-day, pointed to those nations with colonies possessing raw materials, and said they could feed their peoples from their own possessions, and need not even use unusual intelligence about it.

"If the English criticise the Germans, we can answer that with colonies, it is easy for the English to laugh. They have an Empire, and gold, and supplies. The English public would do well not to criticise our methods, but to support attempts to reduce and ultimately to eliminate the growing European tension.

"Does anyone think that Germany will take the advice that she should dle an honcurable death of hunger! The world inust understand. Ger- many has a bounteous supply of high quality gos

"Germany

has taken every oppor- tunity to explain her readiness to ex- change these goods with the things she desires. But it is a life neccssity that Germany does not import more than she exports. Hence we are able to buy abroad only as much as we con self in high quality goods."

Dr. Goebbels warned against think ing that substitute materials which had been manufactured in order to cut down imports were of "doubtful quality, value and usefulness." He said that most of it was substitute, but better then the or- ginal."

Further investigations reveal that Berlin has relaxed the rigidity of its rules that all classes of goods import- ed into Germany are subject to a quota system. German merchants in the Far East are now able, it is under- stood, to apply for import certificates for goods which had previously been more or less, a monopoly.

A feature of this relaxation of the old rule is that German Arms who are taking advantage of this oppor- tunity of doing more business, have not the existing connections or an ex- pert knowledge of the market on some of the goods; therefore they are collaborating with local British Arms who have been dealers in these, com- modities for years and are in somet eases heting as agents for importing their goods to Germany.
