GERMAN CONTROL OF CHILEAN
PAPER TRADE

Germany's prewar control of Chile's
paper trade Is described in detail in a
report by Special Agent Robert S.
Barrett, who has just finished an in
vestigation of South American paper
markets for the Bureau of Foreign
and Domestic Commerce, Department
of Commerce.
In 1913, Germany sold Chile IS per
cent of its total imports of paper,
England IA per cent, the United
States 10 per cent, France per cent,
and Belgium and Spain each 4 per
cent. Probably not more than half of
the paper credited to Germany was
manufactured in that country, but the
organization for worldwide export
and the large buying over Of the
Hamburg wholesale aper merchants
enabled them to quote lower prices
than their competitors.
Since the war started the United
States has greatly increased its share
of the trade, and Special Agent Bar
rett believes that if this new business
is handled carefully, with an eye to
the future, much of it can b made
permanent. 1t will take many years
for firms to live down bad impress
sions made at this time.
