Germany Is Rushing Toy Soldier Making
 To Pay Off Debts
Factories Are Being Rushed Over There and the Toys
 Are Being Sent All Over the World

| That shows how Germany is de- clining as a market for other coun- tries while at the same time putting | the pressure behind it's own sales to those countries to create a favor able trade balance. Thus Germany
 is paying the separations and serv- ice charges on the Dawes and Young plan loans entirely out of proceeds of its active trade balance, which is essential in the absence of fur
 ther foreign loans.
 In the midst of the worldwide depression, Germany has succeeded ] in increasing its 10.3 per cent share of the worlds exports to 12.4 in 1880 and keeping if not enlarging its proportion so far this year. A big favorable trade balance was achieved by the Bruening govern
 ment throttling imports and limiting
 purchases abroad to the unavoidable
 minimum.
 The collapse of world prices for
 raw materials, and to a lesser ex-
 tent for foodstuffs, has enabled huge economies on imported goods. Germany's factories are kept going at a low price for raw materials, and with the wage reductions which
 have been put into effect, make her a formidable competitor in the | worlds export markets.
 The way Germanys trade balance
 has been built up is graphically il- lustrated by the figures, which show that except for 1926 and 1929. when the export surplus was 100000
 marks and 100000 marks respec- lively, all the German trade bal | ances for the first II postwar years were unfavorable-in 1927 the sur- plus of imports over exports even | reached 3,500,0 100000 marks ($833,-
 900, ,000).

1880 when exports-for the first time surpassing Great Britians- exceeded imports by 1895, ,OOO, 900 marks ($403,410,00O). That record Germany is likely to outdistance in 1881, as in the first five months the surplus of exports over imports was 6.400,O00,000 marks, against 5,650,- 000,000 in 1880.
 How the slump in world prices proves a vast advantage to Germany is shown in the fact that imports of raw materials for the first five months of this year were 28.1 per cent less in quantity but 35 per cent less in value than for the corre- spending five months of 1880.

commodities imported by Germany in 1881 were lower as follows:
 Cotton wool, 40 per cent; yarn, 50 timber, 30; ore, 20; base metals, 40.
 Similarly, besides importing a much smaller quantity of foodstuffs, cereals and finished articles. Ger many also is able to pay far lower prices than heretofore for those imports.
 The drop of such imports is shown in the volume of wheat inn ported, which is only one-fourth of that imported in 1927.

After the two Nogales women had
waited until midnight thinking the
arroyo would become passable

to the old Ashburn place and the
entire number spent the remainder
of the night there. They reached
home at o'clock yesterday morn

produces about one quarter of the
worlds silver those engaged in this
production are suffering.
The decline not only affects the
countries using silver as their means
of exchange, but the whole world.
China's purchasing power is re-
duced. This is easily explained by
the price shrinkage. If a wealthy
Chinese had $1,O0O,O00 in silver his
present wealth would be around
100000.
India Now Exporter
Causes of the decline date back
to the war and postwar era. AZ
that time India turned exporter.
Silver climbed to $181 an ounce III
February 1920. During the war sill
YER mounted with other commo-
dities. Immediately after the war
it held strong and then began
decline with only a few INTERRUPT
tions until this year when new
lows for the past 100 years were
made.
Increased production did not
cause the decline Output made q
smaller advance than other metals.
During 1880 production declined
from .260. 900 900 fine ounces in 1929
to 243,7OO,OO0 fine ounces. The total
production in 1880 was 1920 900
fine ounces against 327,900,000 in
1929.

erage price, and the actual produc-

Senator Bettwy
May Be Candidate

Former Senator Andrew Bettwy,
who was candidate for the Demo-
cratic nomination for governor last
fall may be a candidate for mayor
of Nogales at the election on April
7. according to runors in circula-
ton yesterday.
A Nogales international repre-
sentative in checking up on the
rumors learned that many of Bet
twys friends are grooming him for
the race.
When asked about the rumors
that he is to become candidate
Bettwy would neither affirm nor
deny the report that he would seek
the office. From that, it is taken
for granted he is undecided.
Nogales international., 1931-02-14

The foregoing figures are TAKEN
from Handy & Harmon, silver eX-
perts. They report the average price
as 1OO.899 cents in 1920. The table
indicates but a small increase in
production. In fact the 1890 produc-
ton is under that for 1925 where
as the average price is sharply
lower.
Trend Toward Gold
The principal cause for the de-
cline appears to be the trend to-
ward gold standard in many coun-
tries. Japan has adopted a gold
standard and so has India, thus
eliminating two large users OF sill
yer.
Then, too, many countries have
debased their silver currency and
thrown on the market millions OF
ounces of the metal. Demonstration
also is responsible for increasing
the supply.
Pressure against China because
it has remained on a silver stand
ard has led to recommendation for
a gold standard. This would elm
mate the largest user in the world.
The whole situation in the orient
makes for difficulties in silver mar
ket. Silver is the ideal metal Tor
currency there and it appears their
trend toward gold is purely artl-
ficial. If silver could be kept With
in the realm of a precious coinage
metal it would lose it's status as a
commodity and would not be sub
iect to the vagaries of the commo-
dity markets.
Fer the peoples of the far east
silver will always be used Tor the
ordinary coinage despite any at
/ temps to make for gold stand

The Keen Incident

Mr.. Brown refers to the
Keen incident. AS the story
goes Vic Keen got a pretty bad
leg fracture in baseball game
with Georgetown when BAD"
Bill Kenyon was playing on the
Hilltop nine, and there was
very strong intimation at the
time that Kenyon perpetrated
this injury purposely. That's
an easy rumor to spread but a
hard one to prove.
Certainly it isn't the only
incident in college or profes-
sional baseball where such in
juries have happened. If all
colleges quit each other because
of injuries in sports, Maryland
would never play Kentucky
again, for the Shipwreck Kelly
eleven sent several Marylanders
to the hospital no later than
last Saturday.
The sum and substance Of
the entire situation, Maryland
VS.. Unemployment and any
other SNUG colleges you can
name which are self satisfied.
is that there is too much
innuendo and gossip and whisper
ing and evasiveness and too
little franknesS and less tol-
erance.
Besides, Mr.. Brown, when did
college football become such a
pink tea pastime that there
wasn't danger of injury ever
present with death itself just
around the cor ner. Young Bob
Wilson, who starred for Mary
land, is out of the game this
year because of injuries he will
carry through life. Is Maryland
quitting with Washington and
Lee whose team was playing
Maryland the afternoon they
carried Young Bob off the field
for good?
