Causes Conservation The dismissal from the key finance fin-ance post of Germany's leading financier and his replacement by one of Hitler's closest confidants caused consternation in banking and industrial circles.

Hitler was understood to have decided on the change late last night after a long conference with Field Marshal Hermann Goering, No. 2 Nazi, and linked with Schacht as leader of the so-called moderate element in the Nazi setup. Other Developments Coincident with Schacht's removal re-moval there were three other developments de-velopments of international importance, im-portance, any or all of which might have oeen linked with it: 1. George S. Rublee, director of tiie Inter-governmental commission commis-sion on refugees, was notified that his negotiations here for Mays emigration of Germany's 500.000 Jews were discontinued. 2. Germany notified Great Britain Brit-ain that she was determined, despite de-spite British urgings to the con- irary, tu '"-". and to build five1 new 10,000-tpn, 8-inch eun criusers. 3. The government published figures which disclosed an increasingly in-creasingly unfavorable trade balance. bal-ance. Imports for 1938 were $2,-420.000.000. $2,-420.000.000. Exports were $2,247,- 600.000. Hhere are thus a trade deficit of $173,200,000. Hitler ordered Funk to retain his posia ..economics minister.
