Every man is an advertiser,

STATE AND TREASURY DEPART.
MENTS OPPOSE PLAN Of
FERED BY FARMERS AND
GERMAN AGENT.
LIEN HELD As NECESSARY EVIL
Senate Committees Fail to Act After
Hearing-See Move Up to War
. Finance Body-Mr. Brauer
Here

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. urging
the establishment of a huge credit in
European countries, Germany includ-
ed, by which a market could be found
for American foodstuffs, were pre-
sented recently to the joint senate
committees on agriculture, finance and
forestry
The chief argument was made by
]. r. Howard, representing the Ameri-
can Farm Bureau federation. No
definite action was taken and it was
the sentiment of the committee that
the objects desired could be best OBJ
tanned through the operation of the
war finance corporation, which is
about to be established.
Efforts to- Great $1,000,000, 900 credit
in the United States for Germany, as
a means OF encouraging trade relations
and bringing relief to the agricultural
interests of the country, will not be
encouraged by the state or treasury
department.
Plans Held lmpracticable.
High government officials regard
the proposition as impracticable and
unwise and will so advise the senate
committees on banking and cur
rency and agriculture.
The suggestion for the establish
ment Of $1,000 900 900 credit for Ger
many, in which Austria may par
ticipate. is part of the program in
augurated by the farmers organiza.
tons of the country, which see in this
plan an opportunity to market Amer
lean surplus foodstuffs
THE German side Of the proposition
is represented by William Wallace
Brauer. who is here for the business
interests of Germany
Mr.. Brauer has been in consultation
with Mr. Howard. While Mr.. Brauer
does not represent the German gov
eminent it is understood that Berlin
has applied to the reparations com
mission to acquire certain foodstuffs
by giving d priority lien on the tax
able returns of Germany.
1t is acknowledged that without
this priority lien it would be impos-
sible for Germany to give security for
the credit desired here. Even in that
event, according to government Off
Gals, it is doubtful if proper security
could be given.
No Balance Of Trade.
1t was pointed out here that even
In her most prosperous days before
the war, Germany was never able to
pile up balance of trade in her favor
of more than $500, 100000. Now that
she is shorn of her colonies, of her
merchant marine, and parts of her
territory. and is vainly endeayoring to
liquidate her war debt and meet the
demands of the allies for reparations
she could hardly be expected to build
up any balance Of trade at all.
