From the Latin American countries

states that competition in hardware
will not be very strong for a long
time, although the prices asked are
much lower than those for American
goods. So that, If prompt action Is
taken the hardware interests of the
United States will have time to pro
tect themselves before the German
competition becomes keen. The warn
ing is especially significant in view
OF the fact that while Germany Is
not likely to have much Of this trade
for some time the prices have been
cut under tho United States prices Is
to 80 per cent. with long look ahead
for future trade. German deliveries
are slow and uncertain.

tools are also much lower than those
for similar American articles. Terms
are cash before delivery, or cash

Commercial Attache Jackson empha-
sizes the fact that the best perma-
nept future for American exporters
lies IN the maintenance OF quality in
the goods they ship. since the Ameri-
can manufacturers cannot compete
with the Germans in prices.
For example, certain moving pic
ture supplies. such as carbons, are
being offered in Mexico at from 10
to 80 per cant below the quotations
made by reputable American con-
Germs. although the quality is poor.
Tho well known 1855" snap fastener,

Patrons OF the Mount Pleasant car

They can.
Passengers found this out one
morning not long ago. when two

bound tracks. deftly bumped into
each other just north of the diver
gence Of tracks leading to Mount
Pleasant and Georgetown.
Motormen always jockey for posi-

curves. the tracks not being far
enough apart, evidently, to allow
the simultaneous passages Of the
larger cars adopted since the tracks
were laid.

EXECUTION OF
TREATY OBJECT
Reason Given by Supreme Coun-
Gil for Invading Ger
many.
(sy The Associated Press

LONDON. March 9.-The penalties
imposed upon Germany will cease only
when a satisfactory solution of the ques-
tions of reparations, disarmament and
war criminals has been accepted by the
allies.
This is the declaration of the supreme
council taken at its meeting tonight, at
which time also NJ. BRAND declared
that the French government had no
intention of permanently occupying ter
ritory on the left bank of the Rhine. He
said that the only object was to secure
execution of the treaty.
The council agreed to instruct the al
lied high commission of their plan and
to invite the attendance of italian rep
resentatives when economic questions
resulting from the application of the
penalties were under consideration.
NJ. BRAND and the heads of the other
delegations expressed appreciation of
Mr.. Lloyd Georges conduct of the con-
ference and his lucid speech.
