Berlin, Nov. 16.
Plans for a great motor road on the lines of Herr Hitler's famous autobahn speedways, to cover the 2,000-mile stretch from Berlin to the Bosphorus, were outlined by Herr Walter Funk, German Minister or Economics, in an interview here foì- lowing his recent trade mission to the Balkans.
During his tour Dr. Funk concluded a trade'pact with Turkey and started conversations for similar agreements! with Yugoslavia, Bulgaria ana Rumania, The proposed trunk highway would, he explained, form the backbone of a vast net work of motor toads and canals fo supplement Germany's barier pacts with the countries of south-east Europe.
"It would be good business for us," Dr, Funk exclaimed.
"The Balkan countries have thu necessary labour supplies and raw materials while Germany can sell them road making machinery, such as the cement mixers and concrete layers by which Germany's motor roads have been built with phenumonal speed. Later we can also sell them motor ears and lorries, "When the Rhine-Danube canal completed it will be possible to transport goods by water from London o: Rotierdam with as much ease as the, can now be sent from Vienna."
