NJ TO GO AFTER
LATIN STATES TRADE

Berlin, (by mail).-That German
business men mean to make a 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 h Ger
man Economic Association for u
and Central America. This organiza-
ton, which RAJ only formed on Sep
TENDER /, 1915, has already about 1900
members, consisting for the most part
Of German business firms interested
in tho South and Central American
trade.
In an interview with a correspon-
dent of the Associated Press the mana
ger of the Berlin head office of the AS
ISOLATION said that 1t is maintaining but
a %quiescent existence now in view OF
the fact that no business co~rrespon-
dence of Germans with the countries ir
question Is possible. The society, how
ever, has representatives, usually Ger
man business men, in all centerS OIL
trade in those countries: n nearly all
of them have stayed where they were
and managed, according to last &C
counts, to keep their businesses going
in some way. The services of these
men will be drawn upon again immedi'
ately after the war closes to give adj
vice as to the best ways and means for
restoring German trade.
That this fight to regain lost ground
will not be an easy n Is evident to all
German business men. There are diff
ferent views among u.s." said the mama
ger Of the association, "as to u pros
poets for recovering this lost trade Our
excellent organization with agents ev-
erywhere, who are thoroughly well
equipped for giving us quick and ac-
curate business reports, will be strongly
in our favor. This, together with the
fact that certain classes Of German
goods held a preferred position in the
South and Central American markets
before h war, make not a few of our
people inclined to believe that we shall
recover ground rapidly.
o the other hand, we recognize the
fact that new difficulties have arisen
during the war. The Americans have
gone in and have been doing excellent
and effective work In winning South
American trade, have planted branch
banks, and have greatly developed
transportation facilities. This Is one
d difficulty which we by no means I'M
derrate. 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 discrimi-
nations against German goods that
would prevent their shipment into In
terror markets in competition with
British and French goods. British
capital in other forms also enpoys
powerful advantages in South America,
and we are calculating that those ad-
vantages will be used against US to a
much greater degree than before the
war. Altogether, therefore, we see that
the fight for the South American mar
kets will be a difficult one for US; 1t
will call for all our ability in organic
alton, and in the manufacture and mar
keting Of goods-all h courage that
we can bring to our help.
