German Sources Reveal Alleged
British Plot
Berlin, April 8 ? Authorized
German sources today revealed to
foreign correspondents details of
what they described as a gigantic
British plot to make the Danube
impassable and to carry the war
into the Danubian basin that is
southeastern Europe.
The plotters, these sources said,
planned to send a half dozen bar
ges loaded with dynamite up the
river, blast the channel and blow
up bridges.
More than 100 British army,
I navy and air force men who were
to have participated in the coup
[were arrested by Rumanian po
lice before they had time to carry
|out their design, the Germans:
said.
The barge fleet was reported to ;
have been seized directly south !
of Bucharest.
The chief plotter was described
by the nazis as an English vice
consult at Bucharest who theyj
said actually fras the chief of the
British secret service in Rumania.
United States (arm exports to
I.atin American increased from
38 million dollars in 1932 to ap
proximately 53 million dollars in'
both 193" and 1938.
O. n Freeman, assistant (arm
agent in Lenoir County, says four
farmers in that county have start
ed new commercial peach or
chards this year.
| Heavy rains in Florida's lower'
least coast vegetable area during
the latter part of March wiped out'
