STIFF COMPETITION
 IN SOUTH AMERICA
F. H. Johnston Says Europeans OutSel American Manufacturers

New Britain factories as well as other American industries are hay- Ing dlillculty in competing for trade m south America because of the lower cost of producing German made goods, according to observa- tons made by Frank II. Johnston who, with Mrs. Johnston and Miss Agnes Johnston, have just returned from trip to South America.
 MT. Johnston, who is a member of the United States chamber of com merce and who recently made a tour or Europe as delegate to the in
 ernallonal chamber of commerce sessions in Rome. has had as exten- sive an opportunity to study world conditions as any one. His tour of Europe last year as the guest of va rious industrial commissions in their respective countries. his study of con- ditions in America through his state and national chamber of commerce connections stood him in good stead on his South American visit. While in Buenos Aires and again at Rio de Janeiro he was requested to address the members of the American clubs at their monthly meetings.
 The travellers left New Britain on January 26 and have just returned. They were 20 days getting to South America, the first stop being at Bridgetown, Barbadoes. an English island. Tho population of .this island consists of about 95 per cent negroes, and the shiftless rlanner of living makes it seem 10 travellers almost hopeless to expect them ever to edu- cate themselves or show any ambi- tion beyond the point of lazy indif- ference.
 This island is the first stop on the lane from Europe 10 South America and is a coaling station for vessels. It is the place where English vessels leave their liquor cargoes when bound for United states. but no evil dence of it's being source of boot leg liquor was noticeable.
 Because of the United States in- migration laws. according to Mir. Johnston's investigations. South America is rapidly becoming a coun- try of mixed population and in 1920 Argentina had within 100000 as many Italians as she had Spaniards and natives. making an extremely large Italian representation with the l accompanying Italian financial in- terests.
 In many cases the financial and in- dnstrial control of the country is in i inc hands Of the English, Mir John l ston learned. There are over two i million acres of grazing land and | most of it Is owned by Spnniards who lack initiative in business and thus most Of tho financial interests fall into tho hands Of English capitalists. Tho English own the railroads, tram- ways, grazing and lumber as well as many other interests.
 '''rhere is no chance for American capital to get strong foothold in South America unless we adopt the l

same methods as the English" said
 the traveller. The English method
 is to grant long time loans at a small rate of interest to the government for concessions and franchises, with
 the Stipulation that this money be
 used for the purchase of English
 machinery, tools, etc.
 Shortly after the war certain American banking interests opened
 70 banks in South America. Only
 nine of them remain today.
 However. the entire automobile
 industry of South America is in the
 hands of American producers and
 developers. Henry Ford has an as- sembling plant at Buenos Aires where
 he turns out 150 cars every day. The American interests have charge of the great refrigerating plants, in- cluding the stock yard interests, and such concerns as Swift. Armour Will son and Go. ship from Buenos Aires alone 12,000 head of cattle, 4,00O head of hogs and the same number of sheep to Europe every day.
 The typewriter industry is con trolled by American manufacturers to large extent, the leading makes being the Underwood, Royal and Remington. In the Argentine republic New Britain products do not seem to have very large future because of the difficulties in competing with the cheaper type of German made goods. A tremendous amount of German made goods is being shipped into the country and although that country has protective tariff which is high, the comparative cost of production makes the American product much more expensive than the German ar ticle.
 > Because of this condition an ad- vertising campaign is being waged in Argentine to educate people 10 buy goods by quality rather than because they are cheap. the American goods being far ahead of the German pro- duet in quality. This according to Mir. Johnston seems to be the only hope for American goods.
 In stores in Brazil tho Stanley Works products seemed to be the best known. French silverware and cleo trieal products and English cutlery seemed to predominate.
 Quite number of Corbin and | Yale & Towne advertisements were seen.
 The department of commerce in the l United. States under the direction Of | Secretary Herbert Hoover is making ! tremendous efforts to enlarge the con- sumption of American goods in South | America and in Buenos Aires there is m American trade commissioner. who is said to be ono of the most influen- tial mon fin the country. His name Is George r. Brady he is a native of Danhury. Connecticut, and is mar ried to n Bridgeport woman. A pc ruliar coincidence and ono 10 which ho travellers owe much courtesy dur nG their visit to tifat city was the discovery that Mir. Brady was Yale graduate and member of the same 'lasa ms Douglas A. Johnston, son of 'ir. and Mrs. Johnston. Another discovery was the fact thst r. S. Am Riddle to Argentine was nan from Pennington.

GERMAN GOVT. IS
 R0UNDLY SCORED
Leaders Object to
 DaWes' Preparations Plans
By The Associated Press.

BY The Associated Press.
 Berlin, April 19.-Goaded by the batting of the nationalist leaders who are already making a united attack on the Marx-Stresemann government for its acceptance of the experts re- port as basis for reparation parleys Foreign Minister Stresemann went be- fore a conference of German editors today and informed them that the German government was hurrying plans for the impending discussion. It would submit the date requested by the reparation commission at the ear Hest possible date, he said.
 As the report of the experts has been accepted by Germany in all it's there could be no ad- vance discussion over any specific de- tail, Dr. Stresemann told the editors. He declared that the problem would have to be definitely clarified before June IS. to which date the 'Nricum" agreement between the industrialists and the Franco Belgian administra- ton in the Ruhr had been extended.
 Dr. Stresemann criticised the attack made on the experts report made by Dr. Karl Helffrich, the nationalist leader, designating it as misleading and purely political. The foreign min tster expressed be!jet that certain de- tails of the plan to which the gov ernment's opponents now were taking exceptions would be worked out in the general discussion of the complete recommendations of the experts.
 He pointed out, however, that the ultimate approval of the reichstae would be necessary for the transfer of the federal railway system, inss- much as its conversion into a hypothe- ,ated trust would involve a constitu- ional amendment.
