INFLATED BUBBLE

THE ARTIFICIAL STIMULATION OF

GERMANS WILL FAIL.

The Artificial Condition Upon Which
The Huns Are Leaning is Slender

Washington bursting in the bub-

elared Germany Is seeking to stimu-
late her domestic production and for
egn trade artificially was predicted at
conference between Secretary OF
Commerce Hoover Secretary of Agri-
culture Wallace and republican and
democratic senators composing the
agricultural bloc
1t was explained that Germany Is
now expending the equivalent of s..
000,000000 in American money in
substituting her industries by artificial
means. Her exports are underselling
those of the United States in South
American markets for example. The
Cheapness of her products is one of
the chief causes of the falling off in
American exports But the opinion
was expressed that Germany will fail
in her efforts to corner the world $
markets, just as she failed to make
herself the military and naval mis-
tress of the world.
The day of Germany's reckoning on
the basis of her present inflated in
dustrial and commercial striving is
beginning to draw near, and the burst
ing of her dream must come within
the next two or three months. 1t was
contidentially stated. The artificial
condition upon which she is leaning
is but slender reed which must
snap.
