GERMANS FRANK
IN PRESE NTING
TRADE SITUATION
BY WEBB MILLER
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent

PARIS, Feb. l4.-Germany con-
tinued presenting evidence of her
contention of ineapacity to pay pres
ent reparations rates to the repara-
tions experts today.
DR.. Carl Melchior, German alter
nate delegate, stressed the serious
adverse trade balance of Germany
and also the insufficient industrial
returns OH Germany's foreign loans.
He described the general effect of
Dawes plan payments on German in,
dustry and banking.
1t appeared the Germans have ar
rived at point where, as business
men, they frankly were asking the
conference for advice.
The Germans have not specifically
claimed that the situation is pesSi-
miStic, nevertheless, they have en-
deavored to indicate as much by
describing an unfavorable trade sit
uation
The subjects which the allied ex-
perts were anxious to have discussed
III greater detail include Gcrmanv's
productivity, the actual status of per
capita wealth in Germany, and in
duStrial returns on foreign loans.
The allies particularly want to as
certain the exact percentage of for
eign loans applied to industry and
what percentage has been invested
in public works.
