FRESH DEMONSTRATION BY NAZI SUPPORTERS United Press Association.—By Electrio Telegraph.—Copyright. BERLIN, Nov. 18. Cavalry, trumpet fanfares, marching songs, and cries of “Heil!” dramatically accompanied Reich-Bishop Muel-' Jcr’s demonstration to maintain, his leadership. Despite the successes of the opposition pastors, his supporters declare that Hitler, the Fuhrer and Chancellor, is shortly receiving Dr. Mueller's representatives. Dr. Mueller, who years ago sheltered Hitler from the police, Tallied his followers, who crowded the church at Steiglitz and also a large cinema, where the singing of patriotic songs preceded the speech, in which an ex-army chaplain, with two Iron Crossea and a black cassock, declared that he would follow the example of a wounded man he saw under bombardment, who said, “I will hold my post as long as I can stand.” Under Rule

SUFFERINGS OF WORKERS BERLIN, Nov. 17. "Individual wages have dropped in many cases to dole level," says Dr. von Tyszka, of Hamburg University, in drawing attention to the sufferings of the workers. Despite the Nazi’s claim of a great reduction in unemployment, Dr. von Tyszka estimates that wages paid in Germany in 1934 agregate £250,900,000 from a national income of £500,000,000, compared with £335,000,000 in wages from £608,000,000 income in 1928, although the percentage of unemployment is 75 per cent., compared with 43 per cent, in 1933. He added that Germany’s exports were one-third of those in 1926, showing that recovery was impossible unless exports revived, for which it was essential that workers be satisfied with low rates. The speech reflects numerous economic difficulties, including that of financing industry, regarding which Dr. H. G. H. Schacht, Minister of Economies and President of the Reichsbank, to-day congratulated the German Savings Bank on its "thankful task" by which it could use the savings entrusted to it by a confiding public to ameliorate the urgent need for capital by longterm investments.
