germany MAKING
PLAN TO REGAIN
HSLOST TRADE
Preparations Already Under
Way to Recover Latin
American Business

BERLIN, Germany:-That German
businessmen mean to. make a de-
termined effort to recover lost ground
in Latin-Ameriean markets after the
war is over. is the conclusion that
may be drawn from rapid growth of
the German Economic Association for
South and Central America This or.
ganiZation, which was only formed on
Sept l. 1915. has already about 1900
members. consisting for the most
part Of German business firms inter
ested in the South and Central Amer
lean trade. ..- . .
In an interview with a correspond
ent OF The Associated Press the man.
ager Of the Berlin head office of the
association said that It is maintaining
but 1uiescent existence now in view
of the fact that no business cores
pondence of Germans with the coun-
tries in question is possible. The So
ciety. however, has representatives,
usually German businessmen, in all
eenters OF trade in those countries:
and nearly all of them have stayed
where they were and managed, &C
cording to last accounts, to keep their
businesses going in some way. The
services OF these men will be drawn
upon again Immediately after the
war closes to give advice as to the
best ways and means for restoring
German trade.
That this fight to regain lost
ground will not be an easy one is
evident to all German businessmen.
There are different views among
u.s. said the manager Of the associa-
ton. "as to our prospects for recov.
ering this lost trade. Our excellent
organization with agents everywhere
who are thoroughly well equipped for
giving us quick and accurate business
reports, will be strongly in our favor.
This, together with the fact that GER
tain classes of German goods held a
preferred position in the South and
Central American markets before the
war, make not a few of our people in
clined TO believe that we shalt re-
cover ground rapidly. -.:.
~On the other hand, we recognize
the fact that new difficulties have
arisen during the war. The Ameri.
cans have gone in and have been do.
ing excellent and effective work in
winning South American trade, have
planted branch banks. and have great
~ developed transportation facilities. |
This is one difficulty which we by
no means underrate. Another is
found in the fact that railways are in
some places owned or controlled by
English or French capital, and wher-
ever this is the case the roads will |
probably make determinations |
against German goods that would pre-
vent their shipment into interior mar.
kets in competition with British and |
french goods. British capital in 9TH |
n forms also enjoys powerful adVan.
ages in South America, and we are |
that those advantages |
vii be used against us to a much |
greater degree than before the war.
Altogether, therefore, we see that the
light for the South American mar.
iets will be difficult one for us;
will call for all our ability in organ.
cation and in the manufacture and I
marketing of goods-all the courage
hat we can bring to our help /

ESSEN, Germany.-"The poorer
classes must not be exposed during
the coming winter to the discomforts
they have suffered the past few
months" said Secretary Stegerwald
of Baron Batocki's food bureau at a
public meeting held here. While Il
number of Socialists in the audience
interrupted him with loud exeaIama-
tons, Stegerwald outlined the new
measures now being worked out for
the relief Of poorly paid wage earners
Among the proposals Incorporated
in the scheme are a sliding scale of
food prices according to income, or
as an alternative a scheme of compen-
sation by the state in cases of GER
tain articles of food, the prices Of
which cannot be reduced suddenly.
Elaborate precautions are being
taken to insure a supply Of potatoes,
autumn fruits and vegetables at rea-
sonable prices for the coming winter
Stegerwald also promised that the
prices of meat should soon be lowered
and that workers employed on hard,
physical labor should receive an extra
allowance of meat.
