The Berlin correspondent of the "Daily Telegraph" says important negotiations .are proceeding between the four-year plan authorities and the leading heavy industries, notably Krupp and Rheinmetall. The aim is to secure greater efficiency and economy by introducing further State control, followed by the nationalisation of the whole armaments output. It is also expected that a limit of six months will be set for the "Aryanisation" of the minor concerns remaining in Jewish hands. Herr Hitler is expected to tell industrialists that the title "fouryear plan" is not intended to imply its restriction to this period. On the contrary, the ideas underlying it will be the Nazis' permanent attitude toward trade and industry.
