American manufacturers interested
in foreign trade are much impressed
by the healthy prospects for in
creased American business in Ger
many. The bottom of business de.
preston in Germany was reached at
the end of the Winter and business
conditions there are improving rapid
ly, according to confidential advces
from American trade experts who
have been making an intensive study.
This gradual revival of production
and trade is accompanied by increas-
ing interest on the part Of American
firms. Many American enterprises
are being established in Germany.
Among these is the new plant Of the
Ford Motor Co. in Berlin, which
eventually will have capacity of
100 cars a day. This, by the way, is
about the total number Of automo-
biles produced daily by all German
factories in 1925.
The Budd Co. of Philadelphia is
also erecting a bodybuilding plant
with a capacity of 200 automobile
bodies daily. These will be stamped
out of cold sheet metal. as is done in
the United States. Large presses for
this operation will be shipped to Ger
many from the United States.
Movies Going Abroad.
Another industry which is attract
ing American capital is motion pic
lures. Germany has censorship sys-
tenn which provides that one, German
film must be presented for censorship
for every foreigW film. This was
done because Of the superiority and
great popularity of American films
which threatened to engulf the Ger
man industry. The German system
has forced American companies to
enter production In Germany or to
make arrangements with German
producers in order to obtain local
pictures which are balanced against
imports from the United States. Fa-
nous Players, Metro-G -Goldwyn, First
National, United Artists, Universal,
Fox and Warner Brothers recently
have made arrangements Of this kind.
Most German films which Will be
produced in the coming year win be
made for these American companies.
William Wrigley has established a
factory in Frankfort.on.Main for the
production Of chewing gum. Libby,
McNeill & Libby are arranging for the
erection of German plant which will
pack many kinds OF canned goods.
The Worthington Pump Co. is
planning an extension OF It's present
plant near Berlin. Other American
companies which have large manu-
featuring units in Germany are the
International Harvester Co., Singer
Sewing Machine Co.. and National
Cash Register Co.
An American bank recently estab
lished in Germany company called
the Commercial Investment Trust
Co. for the purpose OF financing In
stallment payments by customers and
dealers on such articles as autorlo-
biles, machinery and household ap-
pIiances. The chief activity Of
American banks In Germany has been
the fiotation of long.term loans. It
is estimated that the German govern
ment, municipalities and private or
ganizations have borrowed about $780,
900 900 in the past two and one half
years and most of this money went
over there from the United States.

Queen Will Get Copy
OF EIeusinian Relief

En- route from Athens to Holland Is
d copy made of the famous Eleusinian
relief, work Of the fifth century
BE-. and discovered in 1859. On the

Prince Consort Henry, the Greek
government wished to pay a tribute

have been renewed to Poincare. It
/ is evident that Poincare would fain
dispense with such help, and will
make every effort to do so, but he
probably did not rule out of his cal.
| culations the possibility of recourse
thereto. AS l observed, the founda-
tion OF Poincare's program is conf
dence, and that confidence will lack
genuineness in the measure that for
eign help is substituted for self help.
Obviously a magnificent program,
but is 1t feasible? Will the response
TO the challenge to national pride be
adequate? Confidence would be most
.helpfully shown by renewal of treas
ury bonds, by return of expatriated
gold, nd by immediate payment of
1926 ncome taxes. The treasury
obligations to be met In August are
considerable, and the treasury funds
on hand meager. The psychological
effect of even small further infia-
ton, after such preliminarfes, might
be fatal.
Poincare's fiscal bill sets forth de-
tails of the new taxation proposed.
1t would allow the government to
proceed by decree in respect of ad-
ministrative economies and within
limits stated in respect of adjusting
certain tax rates.
Presumably, Poincare expects some
such evolution as the following:
Important revival of confidence in
proud response to his challenge,
relief of pressure on the Treasury
for bond redemption and a quick
substantial flow Of incomer-tax pay
ments-infiation thus avoided, prices
brought into step with franc quota
tion and access of cooler confidence,
gradual steady appreciation of the
franc, stabilization of the franc,

success.
The behaviour. of the franc during
the past week seems to reflect an
attitude of "watchful waiting" upon
the reception of Poincare's program.

Arabia.--The following is not easy
reading: but the matter dealt with i'm
portantly affects the entire brother
hood of Islam, that is, a very consid.
cradle part of the human race.
In view of what happened during
the previous period of the Wahhabite
supremacy in Arabia, it was generally
apprehended that success of the new
Wahhabite movement would mean
ruin to the haj or pilgrimage to the
sacred places of the Hejaz mecca,
Medina, etc.: the most important in
stitution of Islam.
The first Wahhabite movement be-
gan in 1742, when Mahommed Ibn
Saud, Sheik of Deraiya in Nejd. ac-
cepted the doctrines of Abdul Wahhab
and proceeded adopting the title of
Emir of Nejdl to enforce them by the
sword. The movement was ended in
1918 by the victories of that able
commander. Ibrahim Pasha, son of
Mehemet Ali. Pasha of Egypt tacting
