CZECHOSLOVAKIA

Bird No. 1: a serious labor shortage in Nazi Germany, caused by the gigantic public works program and feverish rearmament efforts. Bird No. 2: serious unemployment in Czecho-Slovakia, caused by German grab of Czech industrial areas and the pre-Munich influx of refugees from Austria and the Sudetenland. Last week Prague and Berlin devised a stone to kill both birds: a plan to send 80,000 to 100,000 unemployed Czech workmen to Germany. Time: this spring.
