Observers believe the Nazi government Is now trying to retreat from Tlrtual Communism, which Its lead ers profess to bate, toward relative economic liberalism. The appointment of Dr. Kurt Schmitt, minister of economics, to the position of economic dictator la taken as evidence of tMs trend. Schmitt has been given blanket powers that will ex tend to October 1, and In that time be has the authority to promulgate any reasonable laws that be thinks will help trade and commerce, lie also has the right to impose fines on those who do not obey bis dictates. Chancellor Hitler sought to restore quiet In the relch by ordering a political truce an'i a call for peace, and he then left Berlin for a vacation in tbe Bavarian Alps. In the capitals of Europe It was possible to hear almost any kind of rumor concerning Hitler and his prospects, so it is Just as well to wait and see what happens. One guess Is as good as another. There Is current among friends of the slain Nazi "traitors" an explanation to the effect that those men were truly the supporters of Hitler and were only preparing and arming selected troops to back him up In an attack on the reactionaries. The sponsors for this account blame General Goering for misleading Hitler and engineering the executions. One of the chancellor's firmest friends, Rudolph Hess, minister without portfolio, broke out with a speech In which he appealed to France to help Germany avert another war, addressing himself to the veterans. Then be delivered a stern warning to France- - and the world not to try to Invade the relch. "Just you dare to attack usl Just you dare to march into Germany !" The speech was delivered before Nazi chieftains of East Prussia and was broadcast throughout the nation. Translations were then broadcast to the remotest corners of the world, showing the emphasis placed on this pronouncement greatly strengthened HIS position events In Germany, Chan- cellor Engelbert Dollfuss of Austria promptly reorganized his cabinet and declared unre lenting warfare on the Nazis In his country. He got rid of three ministers who were not working well with him and himself took the portfolios de-of public safety, fense, foreign affairs and agriculture. Ma. E m 1 1 Chancellor Fey was supplantDollfuss ed as vice chancel lor by Prince Von Starhemberg and was given the Job of repressing all political activities. Probably to register his disapproval of Hitler's methods, especially as they affect Catholics, Dollfuss recalled Stephen Tauschnltz, minister to Germany, and made him undersecretary of foreign affairs. The opponents of Dollfuss have been resorting freely to the throwing of bombs, especially In Vienna, and the chancellor In his official communique said his patience was ended and that all political opposition to him must cease. The Immediate reply to this was the throwing of a lot more bombs.

Reports that Barthou would propose such an alliance reached London ahead of the mln leter and aroused loud opposition la parliament and the press. There were Indications that the cabinet was very cool toward the suggestion. It was reliably reported that Barthou also proposed: LOUIS BARTHOU, That no political pact be requested but technical collaboration be guaranteed In the event Belgium la Invaded again. That the world disarmament conference be moved to Loudon and consolidated with the 1033 naval conference. In view of tbe apparent failure of negotiations at Geneva.

Ma Chung and hi "army" of bandits in eastern Turkestan. Taken with Hedln were a dozen or so of his companions. The captives were reported to have been Imprisoned In an Inaccessible camp In the neighborhood of Akxu, and ofllclals of the Chinese government said that their rescue would be exceedingly difficult Hedin was engaged In laying out a new trade route across China, following the ancient silk caravan route.

The government estimated the total wheat crop at 4SJ.000.000 bushels, which Is 10.000,000 bushels below the forecast it made a month WHEAT ago.
