SEES AFRICAN
TRADE MARKET
George Birk Says American
Merchants Have Good
Chance for Business.

Chicago. April ~. - In South
Africa, America has trade oppor-
tunities equal or even superior to
any found in South America or
Mexico, according to George Birk,
who claims to be the only American
pushing American trade in that
country.
Birk is in Chicago attending the
sixth annual foreign trade confer
ence. He left headquarters in Jo-
hannesburg some time ago with the
idea Of coming to America and en-
tering the army. he said. Delays
landed him here after the armistic
had been signed.
America has a wonderful oppor-
tunity to get business in South
Africa now, but she must work fast.
She will find the task difficuit," SAID
Birk.
while America and England were
busy fighting the willy Japanese scored
point by slipping down the China
Sea through the straits and into the
open territory.
1T is now up to America to force
the Japanese out of their entrench-
ments. She can make up for her lack
Of aggressiveness by the worth of her
goods. for buyers themselves agree
American goods are the most dura-
ble."
Birk said finished products. such as
automobiles. tractors, binders, harvest
ers. typewriters and accounting ma
chimes will find ready market In South
Africa.

In view of the present widespread

are laid out originally as earth roads,
the bureau of public roads emphasizes
the bearing that the location and de-
sign Of dirt roads have on future high.

Sharp curves should be avoided be-

The width should be ample for We

If road ever becomes Of any con-
siderable Importance, it's users prob

aside from the advantages to traffic
