Scores U. S. For Its
Failure to Assist
Germany Financially
By Associated Press.

Berlin, Sunday, Aug. 24.-George
Muech, financial writer of the Tage-
blatt scores the United States for
failing to assist Germany financially
and asserts that Americans are even
guilty of machination to depress the
value of the mark artificially.
Americans are exploiting Ger
many's needy situation most sell
fishly," he declares, "by delaying to
grant credit which Germany needs,
depressing the value of the mark
with the intention of obtaining such
German products as dyes, chemicals
and brushes at low prices. On the
other hand they offer American
products to German buyers at high
price. It's poor comfort for us to
know that the Americans are play
ing the same game as their former
allies"
He says the American govern
ment now could show whether it
really wishes to help Germans in
their work of reconstruction by al
lowing Germany to enter the Amer
ican money market"

the United States from ninth to

These changes are shown by
