GERMANS TRADE
WITH MEX|CANS
. AS SU.S. DALL|ES
Delay Of State Department in
Recognition Of Oregon
Is Expensive.
By JOHN GoLDSTROM.
Universal Service.

While technicalities delay the
American State Department in
recognizing Mexico the Germans
are rapidly building up trade be-
low the Rio Grande News Of
this comes both from Mexican
sources and from the United
States Department of Commerce.
VIII Operate Ships.
The Hamburg Chamber Of Com.
merce. acting for a group OF. inpor.
tant German business men, already
has a representative in Mexico
arranging for the operation Of a
large steamship line between Ger
man and Mexican ports. The line
will be engaged mainly in carrying
petroleum from the oil fields Of
Mexico to the refineries OF Germany.
The petroleum is to be deliver ed
10 German interests at rs per cent
less than they are now obliged TO
pay, and in return II Is promised
that various articles OF German
manufacture which are in demand
hardware. will be marketed at
greatly reduced valuations.
The steamship company has been
organized at a capitalization OF ZOO
900 900 gold marks. A total mari
time tonnage OF some 2b.OOO,0oO tons
ras been secured for the new com
,any, and at the outset about SO. 1000

secure an unlimited supply for
'uture extension OF the trade.
One example OF the industry OF
Ierman salesmanship in Mexico Is
ound In the following announcement
v the Department Of Commerce:
Shipments of pianos from Ger
lany through Vera Cruz have been
teadiiy increasing since the first
4 the year" says Vice Consul Myers
n a report to the specialties division
the Department Of Commerce.

ere landed. Nearly all the importa.
ons consisted OF a cheap grade OF
nright pianos.
Pianos In Tin Cases.
Pianos imported from Germany
e we'll packed. usually in a tin
,se. and this is placed in the
Sual wooden piano box. The tin
Use keeps out the moist sea air
nd water, preventing the metal
<rts from rusting in transit.
American manufacturers OF a
ioderate priced piano should be
able to interest dealers in the
Vera Cruz district. Veneer cases
will not sell, as they soon crack and
peel, due to the moist climate.
The market can be developed by
advertising in the daily papers.
All advertising should be in Span
ish."
The two foregoing are extreme
samples of Germany progressive
ness in Mexican trade since the
war. Germany's recognition of the
Obregon government as against
American and British delay Is re-
sulting in preference to German
goods in many lines.
The Treasury Department of the
Mexican government announces that
the value Of all importations in 1921
totaled $262 500 .046. American gold,
while exports totaled $364.713, ,486,
leaving a trade balance in Mexico's
favor Of $1O2, ,204, ,420.

WILL CONTINUE
AID FOR ROADS
Big Federal Appropria-
ton to Help States
With Program.

WASHINGTON-Federa aid for
road construction will be continued
as result of the authorization of ad-
ditional appropriations for this work
amounting to $lo0,0O0,0OO carried by
the Post Office appropriation bill
signed by the President June 10. Fifty
million dollars is authorized for the
fiscal year beginning July l, this year,
and $65,000,O00 and $75,OO0,0OU, re-
spectively, are authorized for each of
the two succeeding fiscal year. In
addition $6,50O,0O0 is authorized tor
forest roads for each of the two fiscal
years beginning July |, 1923 and July
|, 1924. The funds will be administer
ed by the Secretary of Agriculture
through the Bureau of Public Roaus.
What the new funds will mean to
the country can be judged by the use
that has been made of the $35O,OOO,UUU
previously appropriated On May 81,
1900 miles of road had been complet-
ed, and in addition nearly 1850 miles
were under construction. Federal-aid
roads in all stages total nearly $500
miles, involving over $287, 100000 or
Federal aid. To match this fund, the
States have appropriated approximately
$3S0,0OO,0OO, making a total of $685.
100000.
All types of road have been con-
structed with Federal aid to meet the
varying conditions in the United
States. The average cost per mile has
been $l7,120, and Federal aid mas
amounted to 43 per cent of the total
cost.
