To Develop Mcsopotamia.

German exporters are already plan
ming campaigns for extending their
business in the Near East. Some of
the German writer's on foreign trade
urge the advisability of making the
most of the German opportunities in
that region and are pointing out that
if sufficient energy were bestowed on
the development of Mesopotamia it
would become.a second Egypt. They
are pointing out that the thing for
Germany to do is to esta blish itself
so firmly in the countries to the East
that in any future contingency Ger
many would have overland commune
cation with big and f1ourishing mar
kets and sources of supply for raw
materials all the way east to the Per-
sian Gulf and the Red Sea. The Ger

Germany has already taken a hand
in the construction of railroads in the
Near East, and if the Germans can
further irrigation and the growth of
industries in that section, Germany

Germany to Seek Great Export
Trade After War, 1t Is Said

Washington, Aug. 26-"Whatever
may be the outcome of the war, Ger
many is going to make as active a
canvass for the export trade as it's re-
sources and financial condition at the
end of the war will allow" is the
warning given American business men
today by the Department of Com
merce.
The aims of Germany to capture the
great neutral markets of South and
Central America, Spain and the Near
East as well as neighboring countries,
are disclosed in a report just made
available to American business by the
| bureau of foreign and domestic COM
merce, written by Chauncey D. Snow
after a thorough investigation and
study. Mr.. Snow was in Germany in
vestigating industrial conditions when
the war broke out
"Writers in the German press" says
Mr.. Snow, Eat this time acknowledge
that there is bound to be a prejudice
against German products in the mar
kets of the countries now hostile to
Germany. With an assured CONNER
ciaI hostility in such vast markets, it
| is OBVIOUS LndC German export TRADE
must make the most of the few re-
naming neutral markets. In the
great neutral markets of South and
| Central America-in which American
exporters are more than ever directly
interested-in Spain, and in other
countries not actively involved ir
histilities, German competition after
the war will be particularly severe. Al
the present time German oversees
commerce is reduced to PRACTICAL,
nothing. The German exporters
however, are endeavoring to keep il
touch with their foreign markets ant
!, are doing everything they can to pre-
serve their good will in those markets
In the neutral countries of Scandina
via, the Netherlands, and Switzerland
Germany has continued to do a con
, siderable export business. Manufac
, turers in some lines, since the out
break Of the war, have paid specia
attention to these countries and hav
actually won a larger share of tn
trade than they had before, becaus
of the difficulties those countries hav
had in obtaining ample, prompt, an
regular shipments by water.

Sharp Competition Ahead.
''In looking to the future, the Unit

ring nations. Like the German ex-
porters, the American exporters have
to face a period of sharp business
competition in foreign countries such

future in world trade will be more
secure. The Near East is apparently
one of the great fields where German
competition will be keenest.
Among the preparations for the
period following the war the inter-
national movements between Ger
many and Austria Hungary are most
interesting. In the common cause of
war the two Empires have been
brought very close together, and it
is felt generally that following the
war they will remain in the closest
of possibly, also. political
relations. Bulgaria and Turkey
likewise, have been brought closer to
the two great central powers by the
war, and less clearly formulated eff.
| forts are being made to align them
with Germany and Austria Hungary
when the war stops"
