atoms freely, wages undoubtedly
would rise, probably to level ap-
proximating the prc-war relation
ship between German and British
wages.
In short, if pre-war relationships
were restored, and goods were be-
ing exchanged as freely as then,
trade would be better for all .coun-
tries, production would be larger
but consumption would be cores
pondingly larger, and there would
be no need for either doles or
padded pay-rolls. Before the wa-
one of England's best customers
was Germany and one of Germany's
best customers was England, and
if the unemployed of both coun-
tries were put to work making
goods for each other both coun-
tries would be prosperous again.
Prospective German Borrowing
DR.. Schacht's visit to this coun-
try naturally has been the subject
of much random speculation, and
commonly interpreted as meaning
that more loans were under nego-
tiation. In fact, his activities are
in the way of exercising some con-
troll over the German applications
for money in this market He is
favorable to loans which will have
the effect of increasing the cap
acity of Germany to export or to
more completely supply her own
needs, thus reducing imports, but
opposed to loans not promptly pro-
ductive in these respects. The poll
cy of the Government and of the
Reichsbank is to discourage MUM
cipal loans for mere improvements,

theory Of this policy is that Ger
many must carefully avoid obliga-
tions which will require her to re-
NIT money abroad unless the capita!
obtained through such obligations
is for purposes which will of them

or reduce the necessity for them.
Agricultural Production
The October number of the Banl;
Letter issued by the Disconto-
Gesel1schaft, one of the large banks
of Germany, has a discussion OF
the agricultural situation in Ger
many which explains the policy OF
Imposing higher import duties upon
farm products. In brief, the ex
PLANTATION is that agricultural yields
in Germany are seriously below the
pre-war yields. Notwithstanding
that the past season has been q
comparatively good one, the .-ield:
of grain per acre would have te
be 20 per cent higher to equal the
pre-war yields.
The tariff is intended to stimulate
agricultural production, and as a
further effort to the same end the
! government recently has favored

the Rentenbank loan in the United
States for $25,000,000, which is to
be loaned to farmers. We take
the following from the Bank Letter
article:
As long as the world market cannot
absorb an increased production of man
ufactured goods, a balance Of import
and export cannot be achieved merely
by increasing export and by an in
creased production of high quality ar.
ticles, for which there is a great for.
eign demand. Equally important is the
restriction of imports by intensifying the
home production of foodstufs. Every
ton of wheat or rye which can be pro.
duced at home and has not to be i'm
ported represents an improvement of
our trade balance and serves to strength
en- the stability of our currency. which
must still be regarded as conditional.
How far the favorable harvest will
ease the present very tight credit sisu-
alton Of the farmers, cannot be fore
seen, and depends to large extent
on the way cereal prices develop in
the future. The farmers are not merely
faced with the necessity of raising the
necessary running capital, but must also
think of getting clear of their frozen
credits. and of consolidating all the
floating debts which they were obliged
to make during the last two years. Th:
loan which the Rentenbank kredito1stalt
has Just negotiated in the United States
IS a first step towards such a CONSOLE
dation. It provides 90 million Reichs-
mark which will be distributed within
few weeks to the farmers in the form
of mortgages. The OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
| lister (the minister for food) was cer-
tainly right when he characterized tina
| loan, Tin view of the actual credit re-
| quirements of agriculture, as a mere
! drop in the ocean, But il is to be hoped
| that even this relatively small amount
which makes our agriculture pay tri-
| butte to foreign countries, will contri-
| butte towards an increased production
and consequent restriction of imports.
even if i. does but little to improve
the financial position of agriculture.
1t certainly is something extra
ordinary to have Europe borrowing
money in the United States in orde..
to increase agricultural production,
but other countries than Germany
are desiring to do SO. The govern
ment of Greece has recently let 4
contract to an American company
for the drainage of large area OF
swamp land, for the purpose of ic-
ducing her annual imports of wheat.
The farmers of the United States
may be interested to compare the
conditions under which they are
able to obtain mortgage loans with
those which are available to the
German farmers under the Renten-
bank loan. The latter yields TO
American investors 1853 per cent,
but after all intermediate expenses
will cost the individual borrowers
Approximately 2 per cent more, and
including an amortization charge of
| 1H per cent a total of liz per
cent. Even at this there is very
material saving as compared with
current rates in Germany. The Rem
tenbank loans are restricted To 70
per cent of the appraised value
OF the mortgsged farms.
