Foreign Commerce OF Germany

The foreign trade of Germany. to
which the London conference gave
much attention in it's discussion and
plans. apparently amounted. says a
statement by the National City Bank,
of New York, to nearly or perhaps
quite 81, ,0O, 600 900 in the calendar
year 1920, as against about $1,000
OOO,OOO in the year prior to the war,
though the ratio of total values of
1920 compared with those of 1918 does
not, of course, indicate corresponding
ratio in quantity. since prices of 1920
were much higher than those of 1913.
This estimate of approximately So
OOO,0OO,OOO as the total foreign trade
Of Germany with G0,006. 900 popula-
ton in 1920, as against $1,000 .000, 600
with 81 100000 population prior to the
war, is necessarily based upon the trade
figures of the countries buying from or
selling to her, since her own trade
figures at the present time are not only
fragmentary but stated in units of a
deprecated and constantly 6uctuating
currency.
The race between the United States,
Great Britain and France to regain
trade with Germany has been. adds the
banks statement, close one. Official
records of the three countries in ques-
tion show the trade of the United States
with Germany in 1920 was $500 900,
900, that of Great Britain ESQ. $50,
600 and that of France approximate
ing 3, 800 900 900 francs. Belgium and
Italy also showed an equal trade will
lingness to forget the past" while
the neutrals on all of her frontages,
Switzerland. Netherlands. the Scan
dinavian states, Czecho- Slovnka. Po-
land, and even Soviet Russia. showed
marked gains over the preceding year
apparently bringing the grand total Of
Gcrmany's foreign trade in 1920 to ap-
proximatcly $4,000, 900. 900.

going the right way for real recov-

A representative Of one Of the largest
local manufacturing concerns who at
tended the meeting said that most every
one present was satisfied with the out

from true. but nonethelcss m any
foolish lamb has been sheared
and slaughtered and buried
there.

vesting public" but the Napo-
Icons of fuance Themselves.

have hundreds like him.

preciated securities. in many in

much behind as the world
thought them worth.
IT IS INFINITELY EASIER to make
money than it is TO save it and
keep it. This is a truism that
too few investors realize until
they have had experience. In
vesting money wisely. and keep
ing il invested wisely, is the most
difficult business in the world.
Bur IIT REWARDS ARE GREAT for

no rewards, but only losses. for
foolish investing. Write us. and
We will tell you something about

The most ultra modern program
Washington has heard for some
time was presented at the National
Theater yesterday afternoon. Both
Leginska and Kinder have played
here in various combinations be-
fore, and while yesterdays program
began most conventionally with a
Brahm sonata, which gave the
cello full scope for its deepest,
richest tones; and while this was
followed by an equally usual Bach
prelude and fugue. which MIR.
Kinder played with beauty of tone
and as much feeling as a Bach
fugue allows, the remainder of the
afternoon was given over to flu
turism.
Miss Leginska played two of her
own compositions-The Gargoyles
of Notre Dame, which one would
expect to be grotesque, and a
scherZo suggested by an "ivre"
poem of Tagore's. the East Indian
poet, which simply broke every
known law of music and took lib
critics with the rest. 1t was a col
lection, Of disassociated phrases
dissonances without sequence, moth
ing that made for beauty or got
anywhere musically.
Handicapped by Program.
In response to an encore, the
pianist played a really beautiful
number that showed her splendid
technique and powers of interpreta-
ton. The final sonata, by Ornsteinr
was also "moderne," its most ar
tistic moments occurring in the
andante movement, and its biggest
moments in the scherzo. Both
Leeinska and Kinder are artists.
but the program was a bit Of a
handicap.
