GERMAN IMPORTS
 REGISTER INCREASE
Total Last Year Nearly Nine Times Greater Than Pre-
 eeding Calendar Year
Rx Assnciated Press


 Washington, April N.--Imports from Germany last year were nearly nine times as great as in the previous calen- dar year and approximately nearly half the average of trade for the two years immediately preceding the war, accord ing to a summary issued tonight by the department of commerce. During 1920 imports from Germany were valued d. $SS, ,S36, zO, as compared with $l0,6OS ,14l in 1919, and with S1S4. 352 in 1913 and $lS6,O ,644 in 1912.
 Considerable fluctuation was show in the total values by months in 1920, the summary said. Imports were lowest in the first quarter with a monthly av- craze of $5,100.00O, which rose to $6.sOO,VO0 in the second and to $l0,860,0O0 in the third quarter, but dropped to $6,115,0O0 in the last quarter. For the first two months of 1921 they averaged $4,79o,ooO a month
 According to Secretary Hoover, how ever, trade reports based on values fail to reflect the true condition of Amer ican trade because of the continual price changes during the past year. Only Dy knowledge of the volume of American imports and exports can the foreign trade situation be accurately gauged, in the secretary's opinion. Efforts to ob- tain volume reports of American trade generally are understood to have been begun by the department of commerce.
