republics bordering the Baltic have
in most instances, money that is far
below par II not practically worth
less. Neither American nor any
other goods can be sold in such coun-
tries unless an arrangement is made
to finance the purchases. Through a
strong organization called the United
Baltic Corporation and representing
British trading interests and Danish
capital, British commodities are find
ing a large sale. Much of this busi-
ness is done by means of barter and
trade with that part of Russia out
side the sway of the bolsheviki. 1t
is said to show extraordinary profits.
Britishers regard Copenhagen as the
gateway to the Baltic with its in
ealculable trade opportunities, and
they make that city the center of
their commercial and financial opera
tion. American business men believe
that the Americans should proceed
likewise. perhaps constructing in
Copenhagen mammoth American
warehouse and shipping terminal
Five hundred American firms now
ship goods to Denmark and other
Baltic countries. An American n motor
cars company is establishing an as

He then naively told me that the Ser

that many of his comrades remained be-

there through starvation and exposure.
The treatment of prisoners by the
Greeks was said to be even worse.

seats in the cars and supplied them with

LONDON. January 2.-When in Co.
penhagen a few days ago I called
upon Christopher Hage, minister OF
commerce in the Danish cabinet, with
the object OF learning what Denmark
would be able to contribute either il
materials or credits toward the re.
Mobilization of central Europe. His
views are especially interesting tt
America because of the fact that the
United states must of necessity supply
the bulk of the goods needed on tn.
war-torn European continent. Th'
minister talked freely on the subjec
and was courteous enough to supple
ment his remarks with certain stats
TICS which were not at hand at the
moment. but which he forwarded tt
me IN London. His complete statemen

greatly, but in comparison with wha,

ought not to complain. Our ability TO,

retained and our trades have also

Our agricultural position. which
embraces our main industry. is here
or special interest. In competition
with the big ain-producing coun-
tries overseas Danish agriculture has
changed its methods. From being
passed on the export of grain it has
oeen converted into what might be
termed an agricultural industry the
principal products of which are but
ter, eggs. bacon and cattle. Thus
instead of being grain exporting
country, Denmark has now become
an importer of considerable quanti-
ties of feeding stuffs, such as maize
tor pigs and oilcake for cattle. Be
fore the beginning of the war Den.
marks production of grain and feed
ng stuffs amounted annually to
100000 tons. At that it was neces.

During the war these supplies ceased
