U.S.-GERMAN TRADE
SURE TO CONFLICT
WITH PREPARATIONS
America Handicapped by
Not Having Voice
:., In Council.
(E unitsd Hevs.)

German trade with the United
States. now flowing along about as
normally as could be expected after
a war among great powers, will
sooner or later collide with the
allied reparations commission, ac-
cording to economic authorities
here
For two years Germany and
United States have been trading
and today great quantities of goods
are going back and forth between
the two nations. The declaratory
peace, it is said. will have no effect
one way or the other on this trade.
II has now reached a point COM
mensurate with the credit facilities
which German citizens have been
able to obtain from American bank
ing firms.
Must Fay in Goods.
But. administration economic au-
thorities point out, ifthe United
States is to increase her trade with
Germany she must inevitably CO.
operate with, or run full tilt into
decisions of the reparation commits
sion. The reason. as given by
these authorities, who urge Ameri-
can participation on the commits
sion and on the same basis as the
allies, is summed up thus:
i. 1t Is now generally agreed that
Germany must pay her indemnity
in goods
2. America is the great mart for
the purchase Of raw materials to
be converted into German manufac-
tured articles.
3. Before Germany can produce
and pay her debts. therefore, she
must frst buy raw materials and
cedence over cash payment OF in
IDENTITIES.
Allies Favor Selves.
4. Already Germany is flooding
European markets with goods, to
the concern of allied manufacturers.
Consideration of curtailng some
German industries and encouraging
others is being given consideration
by the allied repsrations commits
sion, which has the power to do
this.
Those favoring a peace based on
the treaty of Versailles. therefore,
contend that IL the allies. reaching
out for world markets, take con-
troll Of German industries, they will
naturally curtail production of those
things which hurt their own manu-
factures and expand production of
those things which they now have
to get eisewhere-from the United
States for example. Also economists
here believe, the reparations COM
mission sooner or later will be
called upon to decide whether pur-
chases of raw materials take pre-
cedence over cash payments of in
demnity, either case would vitality
effect the economic situation in the
United States.
Outside the reparations commits
sion, this element argues. the United
States would be constantly hghting
for the commissions ear; inside. II
would be in a position of virtual
domination.

Property Values, Say
Those Who Know.

The zone fare system has no bet
ter prospects of success now thar
when previously suggested. accord
ing to members OF Congress. realty
operators and other business mer
who would be affected by it.
So far no one in authority tc
grant the zone fare request of the
Washington Railway and Electric
Company seems to have taken this
suggestion seriously.
Met storm of Protest.
Members of the House District
Committee brought this subject ur
at the meeting attended by the Pub
lie Utilities Commission in June. Al
that time, it is pointed out. Rep.
resentative Hammer. of North caro-.
lima, questioned Commissioner Kutz
very closely on the subject. Col
Kutz explained the suggestion had
met with such a storm of protest
from the citizens associations and
business interests when advanced
once before that the plan had been
abandoned.
Several members Of the House
District Committee yesterday cited
cases where the zone fare system
had been tried and found a failure
According to these Representatives

growth of suburbs, and Injuries &
city financially by minimizing tho
increase of improved property.
The Federation of Citizens Asso
Citations, which is on record as un
qualifiedly opposed to zone farei
will meet tomorrow night in tn
board room of the District Build
ing to discuss the traction situs
tion and other matters resatfns Il
the public utilities of the District
At this meeting the Federation il
expected to voice its protest to th'
zone system again.
Reason for Meeting.
william e. westlake. president o.
the Federation. explained that thi
meeting was called to consider tn
rate hearings soon to be held b!
the Public Utilities Commission
These hearings are the result of re
cent findings OF the Utilities Com
mission which prompted them I,
notify the traction companies of tn
contemplated cut in rates.
These findings, il is claimed
showed that the earnings of tn
companies for the first four months
of 1921 were higher than those o
the year ending May /, 1920. II
view of these increased earning
and of the decrease in the cost O
materials and the price of labo
since the present rate of fares be
came effective. the commission de
cided that a revision of the rate
should be considered before expira
tion of the period for which the,
were established.
During recent hearings of tn
House District Committee at whicl
members Of the Public Utilitie
Commission were present, it wa
claimed possible to reduce the fare
to seven cents straight. As the
figures on which the commission ha,
based its opinion had not at tha
time been verified, this statemen
was not made unqualifiedly, bu
Commissioner Kutz insisted tha
this was the greatest reduction tha
could be made at this time.
Realtors Not Worried.
Real estate operators so far hav,
failed to become alarmed at tn
prospect of a zone fare system, be
lieving thatits almost universal un
popularity will preclude any pos
slbility of its adoption.

SWEDONA WILL
VOTE TO Give
UP FRANCHISE
Mercer Village Of Less Than "a
People May Surrender Charter
Election Held Tomorrow.
(Special to The Argus. }

Aledo, April Sat a special cleo
ton to be held in the village OF
Swedona tomorrow the question OF
whether. the village will give up
its franchise Of incorporation or
not will be decided. The village
officers are said to be divided on
the question of surrendering the
charter.
In the early days the village,
then known as New Berlin, boast
ed a population of several hundred
people. Prospects Of larger town
doomed bright; due to the fact that
at one time it was thought that a
north and south railroad line OF
the c., B. & @. railroad, which was
surveyed through Swedona, might
60 through there. The village was
doomed to disappointment, how
ever, as Orion, located to the east,
outbid Swedona and the line was
built through Alpha and Orion.
AS the proposition of running a
town of SO few people under a
charter is rather expensive, resi-
dents of the village recently circu-
lated a petition to the effect that
the question be put to vote and
special election be called.
