June Beaten AS
Month OF Brides

Cold facts, on record in the coun-
ty clerks office, today exploded an
old myth relative to June as the
month of brides
Comparison shows that June
came very near the mark, but failed
to get over by just one marriage Ii
censc July, the month just past,
saw 80 marriage licenses issued,
while just % were issued in June.
What is more, the end of July
showed Just one notice of intention
to marry still on the books and not
carried cut. When June ended six
couples had declared their intention
to marry, but had not yet applied
for the license. Nest of these, how
ever, did become man and wife in
July.

Figures Show Increase
The way Germany's trade balan

The way Germany's trade balance
has been built up is graphically
illustrated by the figures. which
show that except for 1926 and 1929
when the export surplus was AGO.
900 marks and 100000 marks re-
spectively, all the German trade
balances for the first eleven post
war years we're unfavorable-in
1927 the surplus of imports over ex-
ports even reached $500, 100000
marks ($833, 000,000).
The turning point was marked in
1880 when exports-for the first
time surprising Great Britain's-
exceeded imports by 1895, 900, 900
marks ,410,000.) 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,o00 marks, against $780,
100000 in 1880.
How the slump in world prices
proves a vast advantage to Ger
many is shown in the fact that i'm
ports Of raw materials for the first
f1ve months OF this year were 2S.l
per cent less in quantity, but IS per
cent less in value than for the'cor-
responding five months of 1880.
Imports SIaShed
Compared with 1927, the value
Of commodities imported by Ger
many in 1881, were lower as follows:
Cotton wool, 40 per cent; yarn,
so; timber, 80; 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 i'm
ported, which is only one-fourth OF
that imported in 1927.
Thursdays article deals with the
depression in German agriculture
and shipping.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1931-07-01
German Exports Gain

e In the midst of the worldwide
depression. Germany has succeeded
in increasing its 1913 per cent share
of the worlds exports to 1914 in
1880 and keeping if not enlarging
It's proportion so far this year.
9 A big favorable trade balance
twas achieved by the Bruening gov
-!ernment throttling imports and
. limiting purchases abroad to the
unavoidable minimum.
9 The collapse Of world prices for
traw materials, and to a lesser ex-
t'tent for foodstuffs, has enabled
huge economies on imported goods.
Germany's factories are kept going
at 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.

FARM BOARDS
WHEAT POLICY
is REvAMPED
Modification Not Result of
Hoover Pressure, Says
Stone.

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, July 1.-The
federal farm board, whose wheat
policy has been assailed in many
quarters, will not withdraw frcEl
domestic or world markets, but
will limit its domestic sales OF
government-owned wheat to s.
ooo, 900 bushels month during the
year beginning today.
This modification Of policy, an
nounced Tuesday night, was re-
Spouse to President Hoover's sug-
gestion that the board clarity its
position.
It represented some deviations
from the principles the board
hitherto has followed, but it car
ried a refusal to accede to the
wishes of the grain trade ana
others, including Vice-Pres1dent
Curtis, who wanted the boards sur
plus held completely of the mar
ket while the 1881 crop is being
sold.
Chairman James Clifton Stone
said that the board had not yielded
to political pressure from the
White House or elsewhere. The
statement was issued at 9p m. after
numerous conferences and consul
tations, including a visit by Stone
to the White House.
'The board is convinced" the
statement said, that this method
will establish free market, which
any fixed price would interfere
with, and will distinctly improve the
situation by the knowledge that
the present holdings will be dis
posed of slowly and thus Sys-

Inports From U. S. suffer

The Wilhelmstrasse well-remem-
bered from the war days, is guiding
this peace-time "big push" for trade.
At the same time, it has succeeded
in Transforming the vast influx of
merchandise entering Germany into
q mere rivulet.
That was Illustrated during May,
when Germany imported goods val
ued at Sill 100000 from the United
States, while exporting goods Of
equal value to the United States.
But two years ago, Germany used
to export $I5,000000 worth of prod
uctS to the United States monthly
and import goods from the United
. States to the value of from $30000,-
900 to $35,000,000.
=. That shows how Germany is de-
Ginning as a market for other coun-
tries while at the same time putting
fthe pressure behind It's own sales to
those countries to create favora-
ole trade balance. Thus Germany

+. lce charges on the Dawes and Young

pceeds of its active trade balance,
which is essential in the absence

BERLIN, July Fifteen years
ago, Germany's flesh and blood, SOL
diers marched against the world.
Today Germany's toy soldiers,
bearing the slogan MADE in Ger
many" are marching through the
world, seeking the money to pay
the German war debt.
At the moment when the Hoover
moratorium plan to relieve Ger
many's burden is still awaiting
acceptance from France, thousands
of men and women are toiling at
high pressure in German factories,
producing not so literally the toy
soldiers as almost the entire range
Of manufactured articles used in
North and South America, Europe
and throughout the world.
The driving force behind the
workers is the determination to COL
lect enough cash from other ma
tions, through sale of the goods, to
pay the debts due those same ma
tons, whether by direct sale or by
cutting in on their exports.
