Roping with Revision Advocates Trying to Avoid Opposition rom President By DEWIT MACKENZIE (Associated Press oreign Affairs Writer) NEW YORK May uehrer Hit ler will have achieved a far reaching success in his to the if the great Balkan nation of Yugo slavia accepts a projected trade pro posal involving virtual direction of its industrial development by Ger any for the next ten years This agreement which informed business quarters in the Yugoslav capital expect to be signed shortly has as its foundation a ten credit of 200000000 marks from many at six percent interest Nobody can say just what equivalent of this many marks would be in United States dollars because I the value of the mark is arbitrarily fixed for such trade deals and It varies It might be $80000000 but likely would be considerably less The deal is on the barter basis You swap your eggs for my butter Yugoslavia would exchange which Germany sorely needs especi ally for rearmament for manufac tured goods This proposal cuts much deeper than a mere trade proposition political influence In the Balkans Is vast rom the military standpoint Yugo slavia Is of greater strategic import ance in this cockpit than any other of the fiery Balkans excepting Tur key which controls the Dardanelles straits gateway between the Mediter ranean and the Black sea Indeed Yugoslavia is so much in the nature of a military keystone for this part of Europe that It finds Itself in the uncomfortable position of being an almost certain battle ground if by chance Germany and Italy ever should go to war with each other You need only a quick glance at your map to recognize the position Note the way its northwestern corn er runs up between Italy and Ger many (Austria) like a piece of pie There is the long stretch of coast on the Adriatic There is contact with Hungary and every one of the other Balkan states excepting Turkey Rumania Bulgaria Greece and Al bania This proposed deal is an excellent Illustration of an Important aspect of the scheme for politico economic penetration the Its purpose of course is to obtain domination both economically and politically political control being an inevitable corollary of economic con trol In the case of Ger economic Influence already Is so great that the smaller Is so to speak a natural ally of the relch Yugoslavia is almost wholly depen dent on Germany to absorb more than fifty percent of the former's products Obviously with no alter native market the severance of this trade would be a catastrophe Germany's proposal of virtual di rection of the Yugoslav Industrial de velopment for a decade means that the reich intends to coordinate Yugo slav industry with German needs Germany projects to build a huge market for her manufactured goods and Increase those Yugoslav prod ucts which the relch most need That Is a nut shell Is the plan which Germany expects to inaugurate not only in Yugoslavia but through out eastern Europe and most of the Balkans Geographically the father land is sitting pretty since most of the nations In that part of the world are like Yugoslavia largely depend ent on Germany to absorb their prod ucts A few hours before announcement of the near concluslon of the Ger man Yugoslav agreement I was chat ting with a European government of ficial and we took a look at Herr Hitler's drive "Supposing" I said Hitler abandoned those tactics which have given rise to the Anglo rench "antl aggresslon" campaign and devoted his energies to penetration" With his favorable set up and the politico economic Influ ence he already wields what could stop

SERIAL TOM KEN In LU 11 STRANGE AlsoComeciy Cartoon and Chap 3 By JACK HELL WASHINGTON May 2 A compromise plan of revising corporate taxes which advocates said might remove the chief obstacles to adjourn ment of congress around July 15 was discussed by legislative leaders today It wits said reliably to involve re duction of the present 2 1 2 per cent rate on undistributed profits to 1 1 2 per cent Retention of the principle of 'this tax advocates of the compromise said would meet President Roosevelt's re cent demand that either the contro versial levy be allowed to stand or some other Impost be devised which would prevent tax avoidance Some senators who have kept in close touch with efforts to revise taxes said they were satisfied there would be little administration opposition to readjustment of other corporation levies provided the present level of federal revenues was maintained A group headed by Senator Harf Ison (D Miss) has been working on a scncaute wmen would provide a maximum tax of 18 per cent on corporation income with allowances to be made for loss carryovers and for revaluation of capital stock Pres ent levies run from 16 1 2 to 19 per cent depending on the amount of profits distributed with preferential treatment for small businesses hav ing earnings of 825000 or less The plan on which the Harrison group has been working calls for repeal of the undistributed profits levy but there were indications that a compromise which would eo through congress without great con troversy might be acceptable in this quarter Plans of congressional leaders
