country was facing the greatest crisis
in its troubled existence.
Now it is true that all is not well
here. The general political situation
is confused and the cabinet is accused
of objectionable weakness in not cal =
rying out those reform measures which
practically all persons agree are neceS-
sary. The governments of the states
and the cities continue regularly to
spend more than they collect, and this
policy will surely lead to bankruptcy.
AS a result of this corresponding by the
authorities capital is scarce and COL
respondingly dear.
Unemployment High.
The administration costs in Germany
in 1918 were approximately Is per cent
of the national income. Today, making
allowance for everything and including
the war burdens, this unproductive
spending is not much under 40 per cent
of the national income.
Unemployment is very high--higher
than last year at this time.
Still more effective in producing pes
simism is the sinking stock index, Ger
man shares have steadily declined III
the last year, when foreigners have pre-
ferred American TO German stock ex-
changes. But stocks are still so high
that the actual return does not equal
the cost of the borrowed money. There
fore Germans with capital, even after
New York's panic, do not care to buy
German shares.
Here the pessimiStic picture ends.
Against the foregoing facts are others
so important that they much overweight
the debit side. In the first place it is

admitted that German production is
higher than at any time since the in
fiation period. The number of people
EMPLOYED is higher despite the mass OF
disnissals due to rationaliZing of plants
factories and businesses. That unem-
ployment grows merely shows that new
employment has not kept up with the
rising population. Income per capita is
higher than in 1913--the real income
allowing for a so per cent depreciation
in buying power
Bankruptcies, though numerous, are
below the 1918 figure. Even the pessi-
miStic Germans admit that capital ac-
emulation has grown by at least S.
000,000,000 since 1924. Their complaint
is that it has not grown fast enough
to satisfy the restless demand for new
investments. But the answer is that
there is a too rapid growth of popula-
ton, not too little saving.
Extensive Borrowing Over.
More important is the probable fact
that the period of extensive borrowing
is over. Germany will want and re-
Ceive new loans. but in nothing like the
proportions that were expected year
ago. One of the greatest German au-
thorities has made the statement that
within a short time not only will Ger
man exports suffice for reparations pay
ments, but that they will begin to Gre
ate substantial German credits abroad
And this leads to the greatest Sensa-
ton of all--namely, that III the month
of october German exports were high
enough to pay all reparations from jan
uary, including October this year. Ger
many reported IL 1000, 900 marks more
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-11-22

than the cost of importations and de-
liveries in kind. So long as Germany
was taking new loans the export deficit
was inevitable Now that Loan taking
has stopped, exports are doing just what
Parker Gilbert and other experts said
they would--namely, grow in measure
to astonish the world.
German foreign trade is now pushing
Great Britain closely for second place
in the worlds list. just behind the
United States 1t is possible that in
October Germany even surpassed Great
Britain. The fact this export is real
viz, not the result of forcing and liqui-
dating stocks of merchandise under
COSTS proven by the rising volume of
imports. If Germans were making
profits they could pay for the imports.
The total picture is, therefore, one to
satisfy the world optimists, and to an
swer the objections Of those who be-
lieved that the reduced reparations I'M
der the Young plan were still impossibly
high.
Unless all these signs are deceptive,
this economic growth will soon begin to
be realized by the German people, and
by 1880 Germany should present a
marvelously prosperous picture to the
world
