FINANCIAL SITUATION
IN GERMANY EXPLAINED

Economic Progress of His.

Count Won Bernstorff. the German am

pared an article on the financial situa-
ton in Germany. which will be published
in the current number of Export Ameri-
can Industries, the international organ OF
the National Association of Manufacture

progress. and draws attention to the fac,
that that countrys exports have in
creased 262 per cent in the period from
1872 to 1912.
Count Won Bernstorff says. in part:
"A countrys financial power results
from the wealth and the income of its
people. How much both have increased
i'll Germany may be judged from the de-
velopment of her economic conditions,
especially from the growth of her COM

Independence Desired.

with so many causes concurr1nS, IL
will easily be seen that the demands for
money We're extraordinary and that one
of the consequences of this financial
strain was a rise in the rates of interest.
Special attention, however, is now paid
to these matters in Germany, and the in
stitutions of credit are working for easier
and larger liquidations. There is also a
tendency to acquire, gradually, indie
pendence regarding foreign capital. No
doubt can be left that in spite of the
fluctuations of the money rates, due, as
shown above, TO great demand of
money for various purposes, income and
wealth have vastly increased in Germany.
Financial and banking circles confirm
that the growth of wealth has been i'm
nense in Germany. Even abroad this Is
frequently acknowledged. The Temps of
March 10. 1913. published an article in
which stated that as TO wealth
France is far behind Germany. German
capital. the article continued. is mainly
invested in commercial and industrial
concerns. Since the income from such
investments Is much larger than the in
terest which France draws for instance,
from government bonds. wealth increases
much more rapidly in Germany than in
France. II is, the Temps concluded
therefore not surprising that in Germany
deposits in savings banks amount to
a0,OC0 million francs, while they are only
about $500 million in France.

HOSTILITY TO GERMANY
SOUL Of FRENCH POLICY
Prince Won BueI0W SO Declares
in His Review of His
Country's Politics.

BERLIN. November 29.-Prince Bern
hard Won Buelow, formerly German i'm
perial chancellor, today abandoned the
silence which he once declared he would
maintain until death. He does this in
order to warn his countrymen. he said.
that inveterate hostility to Germany is
the soul of French policy. This, lie de-
clares will continue long as French
men have the slightest hope of regaining
Alsace-L Lorraine by their own efforts or
with outside assistance.
Reviews German Politics.
Prince Won Buelow expresses this con-
viction in a review OF German politics.
published this morning. He points out
the folly of ignoring this inbred hostility
of the French and of trying to arrange
German relations with France on any
other basis.
1T is idle to hope for reconciliation
with France he says, without re-
storing the provinces of Alsace and Lor-
raine. The French determination to at
tack Germany whenever there is pros
pect of success must continue to be a
factor in the calculations of statesmen.
Germany should try to maintain courte-
Gus and correct relations with France,
with whom she can cooperate in minor
questions but she should not chase fam
tastes nor aspire to overcome France $

Not Aimed at France.

Time Has Come to Restore
Business Confidence, Says
Untermyer.
Favors Adequate Laws Making I'm
possible the Repetition of Cor
poration Looting.

SfRINGF1kI1D, Mass, November %
The time has come. in the opinion ot
Samuel Untermyer, who was chief coun-
sci for the Pujo committee investiga ting
| the money trust, to restore confidence tr
: the industries of the United States. in
cluding the railroads. How this could be
accomplished he outlined last night in a
speech before the Economic Club here
A halt should be called, he said. upon
further governmental Investigations into
the past crimes in the looting of corpora
tions; the slate should be wiped clean
and the work of reframing and strength
ening the laws to make impossible repe-
tiions of previous offenses then begun.
Suggests Needed Steps.
He outlined steps as follows:
The pending currency bill should be
passed.
Give the railroads living rates. -'or they
will perish whilst we are reframing the
laws under which they are hereafter to
live
Abolish fiscal agencies. so called, vot-
ing trusts and interlocking directorates
Make it criminal offense for any Off
Ger or director of corporation to bor-
row from or make a profit out of his
corporation
Destroy nOiOinS companies.
Give minority stockholders representa-
tion in the directorates of their corpora
tions
Place railroad congratulations under the
control of the interstate commerce COM
mission and the courts.
Compel the Incorporation of stock eX-
changes so that the books of their mem
bers may be subject to governmental in
spection.
Advocates Publicity.
Enforce complete publicity of all cor
porate transactions. and especially require
the fullest disclosure of all profits OF
bankers, brokers and middlemen
Limit the directors of national banks
and interstate public service corporations
to nine.
Constitute a federal Industrial commits
sion to which the courts would turn over
the dissolution of corporations declared
unlawful.
Give to this commission the power to
approve agreements between competitors
regulating prices and output for "A limit
ed term and to the extent necessary to
protect them against ruinOuS competition
but under conditions that will fully safe
guard the public.
Due to Uneasiness.
Mr.. Untermyer spoke on How to Re
store Confidence" There had been a
sudden and alarming cessation in busi-
ness activity all over the country, he
said. Primarily, he thought, it was due
to uneasiness ernanating from the dis
closures 'of rottenness in corporate man
agement." to pending and impending
legislation affecting the financial system
and the trusts. and to the inability of
railroads to secure rates which would
permit them to maintain their properties
and give fair returns on invested capital.
He added:
II think we should call halt upon
further governmental investigation into
the past crimes in the looting of corpora
tions. By pursuing the subject further
we would doubtless learn of innumerable
more instances, but the evidence would
be cumulative only

Foreign Trade Is Cited.

An excellent idea of Germany S
progress, especially rapid since 1890, can
be formed by studying the figures of her
foreign trade. Within the last forty
years the values of the latter have been
more than tripled. From 1872 to 1912
the imports increased from 3,464.6 to
1u,673.0 million marks G. e, 20S per cent?,
the exports from >, 1922 to 9,031.3 million
marks ii. e.. a62 per cent?. This is a re-
markable result in itself, but 1t appears
to even better advantage when compared
with the foreign trade of France and
England, although both show considerable
increase. No less favorable is COM
parison with the United States OF
America.
The fact that the rate of interest is
somewhat higher in Germany than IN
some other countries has occasionally
been mentioned as a proof that Germany
is laboring under a scarcity OF money.
From temporary strain in the German
money market and the rate of interest
the conclusion has perSistently been
drawn that Germany is in great want of
capital Such view. however, is err
roneous. Fluctuations in the rates of in
terest are mainly due to changes in the
economic conditions of country.

Women May Tackle Problem.

There is possibility that the women s
clubs of Washington will follow their
sister organizations in other cities and
take a part in the movement to lower
the cost of living. Indications were this
morning that the high cost of living mat
ter would come up for much discussion
this afternoon. when the District of CO.
lumbia Federation of Women's Clubs
meets at the Raleigh Hotel.
While there are many important mat
ters in connection with changing the con-
stitution of the organization to come un
this afternoon. Mrs. Ellis Logan. presi-
dent of the District federation. declared
this morning that the question of high
cost of living would be given much con-
sideraton. She would not attempt to
predict what action. if any, the fedora
ton would take.
Letters continued today to pour into
the Department Of Justice praiSing the
Attorney General for instituting in
veStigatiOn to ascertain the facts con-
cerninS the raise in the cost of living.
The communications came from all
parts of the country. from individuals.
associations of various kinds and from
business men. praising the department $
efforts to break high food prices by
proceedings against the alleged combina-
ton of cold storage dealers.
Interest in Attorney General Mercy
nolds' decla ration that sweeping in
vestigation will be made of the alleged
combination. and that if violations of the
pure food act were disclosed prosecutions
could be looked for, apparently is greater
than in any move the department has
made in a long time.

Tell of Experiences.

Housewives who say they have felt the
oppressive hand of high prices in many
ways wrote telling of their individual ex-
perences, and heads of organizations
which have taken an active part in try
ing to reduce the living cost were just as
anxious to tell what they knew. Many
of the letters contained accusations
against the packers of Chicago and
, charged them with responsibility for cold
storage prices. Others blamed the mid
dlemen, but there were few letters which
did not express the conviction that the
campaign would disclose some sort of
nation cooperation which can be
| reached by the department.
The work of the departments agents
has progressed just far enough for the
Attorney General to be desirous of more
details, it was reported. No expense will
be spared, from the funds available, to
get to the bottom of the combination if
there is one and if there isn't any COM

Foreign Capital Attracted.

''All this. of course. resulted in heavy
strain upon the money market, thereby
causing a rise in the money rates. 1t
was, therefore, inevitable that in spite
of the formation of immense wealth the
accumulation of capital could not keep
pace with the growing demand and that
consequently foreign capital was at
tracted to Germany.
Notwithstanding this general demand
for money in Germany, Germans have,
during the last years, invested consider
able sums abroad. These investments
in foreign countries are well spent In
Germanys interest and from valuable
reserve for the future For the present,
however. this capital is much missed in
the German money market.
1T has sometimes been pointed out re-
Gently that Germany is indebted to other
countries for the money invested by
them IN Germany on account of the
higher rate of interest. On the other
hand, it should not be overlooked that
her investments abroad can be with
drawn at any time, and that large
amounts of foreign stocks have been
bought in Germany which form counter
claims far exceeding temporary German
DENTS abroad.

Needs of Life Increase.

Germany since 1S7O-causes a consider

problem of feeding. clothing and housing
this increasing number of people could

amounts of capital. The geographical
situation of Germany requires constantly
growing expenses for her army and navy.
The different social problems. the solving
of which Germany has undertaken ahead
of other nations, not only cause large ex-
penses to the empire, but also TO the in
