GERMANY'S TRADE
SUFFERS SEVERELY
Year 1920 Has Proved Disastrous,

Hope OF Relief.
Hamburg, Dec. 26.-Germany's for
eign trade relations which in 1919,
save some promise Of gradual and
substantial Improvement, suffered dis
astrously during 1920 the Hamburg
Chamber OF Commerce says in its an
nual report which is to be published
tomorrow. Without revision Of tn,
Versailles treaty, the chamber says.
it will be impossible for Germany to
arrive at her normal economic and po-
litical condition.
There are some signs OF the be-
ginning of better state Of conditions
in the apparent increased inclination
to work and the desire for better pro
ductive results" adds the report
There is 4 further movement toward
Improvement Of German economical
conditions In the oyer-stocking Of for
eign markets with food and raw
stuffs."
The report advises against accept
ance OF foreign credits by the Ger
mans unless the stlpulations for pay
ing back the loans are clearly pre-
pared"
It is believed by the Chamber OF
Commerce that the United States is
I'm 4 remarkable position for tho do
velopmcnt Of it's world trade and it
thinks that the Hamburg American
Hartman shipping agreement
has placed Germany in a position to
obtain some share of the expanding
business.
German commerce with the South
American countries is reported to be
virtually at standstill. Mexico's pol
icy Of official control Of foreign trade
is condemned by the chamber as re-
sponsiblc for the lpart Of the slump in
German business in that country,
which it says has been taken over
largely by the United States.
Tho effect Of the American black
list Is seen in the neutral countries
Of South America, where, according to
the report. German firms are finding
it almost impossible TO resume bust"
ness.
The United States, adds the report
has improved its trade with Brazil to
the dctrincnt OF British and German
trade. Home industries in Brazil pro
tcctcd By high tariffs are growing rap
idly. Important corfcc contracts have
been closed with Brazil. While there
is large inquiry by Brazil for Cor
man industrial articles, labor Difficult
ties in Germany have prevented the
Germans from meeting tho demand.
Concerning China the chamber says:
"Onc can not speak Of the reopen
ing OF regular business" Export of
German machinery to Japan promised
big business until the Japaneses finan-
ciai crisis came. The report regrets
