TO TRY TO RECOVER
MARKETS AFTER WAR
Of Latin-America is What is
Known of the Intention of
the Germans.
tCorrespondence Of Associated Press)

NuTfeHponuence OF Associated PfeRs)
BERLIN, Sept. 15.-That German
business men mean to make deter
mined effort to recover lost ground in
Latin-American markets after the war
is over is the conclusion that may be
drawn from rapid growth of the Ger
man Economic Association for South
and Central America This organiza-
ton, which was only formed on Sep
TENDER l, 1915, has already about 200
members, consisting for the most part
OF German business firms interested in
the South and Central American trade.
In an interview with a correspon-
dent Of the Associated Press the man.
ager Of the Berlin head Office OF the
association said that 1t is maintaining
but quiescent existence now In view
of the fact that no business corres-
pondence Of Germans with the coun-
tries in question Is possible. The So
ciety. however, has representatives,
usually German business men, in all
centers of trade in those. countries; and
nearly all OF them have stayed where
they were and managed, according 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 ono is evident to all
German business men. There are DIFF
ferent views among us" said the man
ager Of the association, las to our
prospects for recovering 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 certain classes Of
German goods held preferred posi-
ton in the South and Central Ameri-
can markets before the war, make
not few of our people inclined to
believe that we shall recover ground
rapidly.
ION the other hand, we recognize
the fact that new difficulties have
arisen during the war. The Americans
have gone in and have been doing ex7
cellent and effective work in winning
South American trade, have planted
branch banks, and have greatly devel-
oped 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 wherever this is
the case the roads will probably make
determinations against German goods
that would prevent their shipment
into interior markets In competition
with British and French goods. Brit
ish capital in other forms also enjoys
powerful advantages in South America,
and we are calculating that those adj
vantages will be used against us to
much greater degree than before the
war. Altogether therefore we see that
the fight for the South American mar
kets will be difficult one for us; 1t
will call for all our ability in organiza-
ton, and in the manufacture and mar
'keting Of goods-all the courage that
we can bring to our help"
