j. S.-RE|CH TRADE
REVIVAL FORECAST
Assets for Future Prosperity
Are Enumerated by
Attache at Berlin.

A revival. Of the United States Ger
man raw material and finished goods
trade Is expected as soon as the ex-
change restrictions are cleared up in
Germany, the Commerce Department
was advised today in report from As
sistant Commercial Attache Douglas
Miller at Berlin.
While he has held his Berlin post for
years, Mr.. Miller is well known in this
country's export trade circles, having
lectured in various sections during his
annual leaves of duty abroad. He is
considered an authority on Germany's
import demands.
Mr.. Miller informed the department
that while exports to Germany have
| been considerably reduced because of
the present considerably curtailed pur-
chasing power Of the people. that coun-
try offers an attractive market for a
very large variety of American goods,
and the market seems likely to grow in
the future"
"Germany's assets for future prosper
ity." Mr.. Miller observes. "are her
trained and industrious population, her
central geographical location and the
best industrial equipment outside of the
United States.
Industry is extraordinarily diverse,
almost every article to commerce is
manufactured or traded in Germany,
and this inevitably means important
trade relations with the United States"
Buying Power Drops.
Decreased purchasing power, In Mr..
Miller's opinion. is the chief obstacle
temporarily hindering sale of Amer
ican goods in Germany. In 1927 the
United States shipped S429,0o0 900
worth of goods to Germany, the high
est figure on record. but in 1881, sales
first half OF 1882 sales totaled
So, 100000.
Although Mr.. Miller does not refer
to reparation settlements, which in the
main are considered the factor behind
depressed purchasing power, he pointed
out the German people are industrious
even in time of economic distress. and
''the working classes seem determined
to maintain their high living standards. y
He declared this was shown by the
fact that the German public today pre-
fers to draw upon its savings and use
every method of obtaining credit than
return to conditions considered normal
for the working classes 100 years ago.
"The German buying power will def
nitely improve as world business ad-
justs itself to the new level of low
prices and Germany frees itself of po-
litical uncertainty" the Government
representative said.
Tariffs Held Reasonable.
He added that tariffs, although high
on some items, are not considered un-
reasonable, and the import quota .ef-
fects only few items, Of which motion
picture films and nitrogen products are
of importance to the United States.
while the financial difficulties have
brought practically all the larger
banks under government supervision" :"
the trade official said. capital in nor
NAL times is sufficient to finance i'm
ports and as matter of fact large
quantities Of American capital now
tied in Germany under the provision of
the standstill agreement may later be
mobilized for the financing of American
exports of raw materials

inal rates had remained.

JAPANESE REJECT
FAR EAST BOARD
Instructions Sent Geneva
Delegation to Oppose
British Proposal.
Nv the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
TOXIC, December 13-Disregarding
friendly advice of its old ally, Great
Britain, Japan instructed its delega-
tion at Geneva today to reject the pro-
posal that an international conciliation
commission be created to attempt a
settlement of the Sino-Japanese con-
troversy over Manchuria.
Financial quarters considered the
British manner of approach in making
this proposal to Japan before the
League had taken definite action) as a
diplomatic reverse for Japan and there
were sharp declines in the stock market.
Resumption of diplomatic relations
between China and Russia, announced
yesterday at Geneva, also contributed to
the market decline.
1t was learned Great Britain had
acted alone in proposing that Japan ac-
cept the commission conciliation scheme
and that other powers were not as
sociated with its suggestion.
Hope for Pact WaneS.
Great Britain pointed out that II
Japan refused conciliation efforts under
paragraph of article Is of the League
covenant, it probably would be un-
avoidable that the League would pro-
ceed with application Of paragraph 4.
Paragraph provides that the League
Council endeavor to effect settlement
of disputes. Paragraph 4 provides that
if this fails the council by majority
vote shall publish report of the facts
and recommendations lin regard
thereto.'O Great Britain hoped such
action would be unnecessary.
Commenting on resumption OF rela-
tions between China and Russia, gov
eminent spokesman said the possibility
of completion of a RuSso-Japanese non
aggression pact now was greatly dimin-
iShed.
He challenged the statement of
Ma kim Litvinoff. Russian foreign COM
missar. that lack of diplomatic relations
between some nations" bordering on
the Pacific were to blame for present
troubles in Manchuria.
angling for Recognition"
Evidently meaning the United States
and Russia could have checked Japan's
course in the continent Of Asia, NJ.
Litvinoff, it appears, is angling for
American recognition and Simultaneous
ly indirectly threatening Japan" the
spokesman said.
IF this is Russia's frame Of mind,
thinking of possible alignments Of power
against Japan, what is the use Of a
non aggression pact?"
Meanwhile japanese officials consid-
cred the information that Gen. Su
PingWen. defeated Chinese Manchur-
ian leader. was being detained at
Tomsk. Siberia. was an indirect COM
pliance by Russia with japanese de-
mandS.
The information from Moscow was
that he was detained about 1000 miles
west of the point where he fled across
the Manchurian border because of lack
of funds to continue journey to
Europe. The general was reported plan
ming to present his case against Japan
to the League and japan demanded
his extradition. This was refused by
the Russian government.

BRITISH POLICY UNCHANGED.
New Note Renews Appeal for Early Re,


LONDON, December IS (P.-A Ia
comic British note dispatched to Wash
lngton today promising to pay the debt
instalment due on Thursday signifies
that there has been no change in the
basic British policy of cancellation OF
the war debts, with payments to be
made under protest or with reservations
until that goal or at least a drastic re-
vision of the debts has been realized.
The new note merely aflrms in words
less liable to be misunderstood what was
set forth in the British note of last
legalistic views.
What the note lacks, In the eyes OF
government critics. is any notification
to the United States that the S95 SOC, 600
payment due this week will be the last
Great Britain will make under the
present funding scheme.
Early Review Sought.
The government meets this criticism
somewhat with renewed appeal to the
United States for an early review of
the whole problem.
The latest note was made available
after a cabinet session at No. 10
Downing street this morning, over
which Prime Minister Macdonald pre-
sided
He reported, also that the Disarma-
ment Conference has been given a new
lease of life by the five-power nego-
tiations at Geneva, which are expected
to result in the return of Germany to
the general parleys.
Mr.. Macdonald has been suffering
from q cold, but the negotiations at
Geneva seemed to have served as a
tonic to his health.
Advised to Stay Home.
In the House of Commons this aft
Macdonald was not SO well and was
remaining indoors at home on the ad-
vice of his doctor.
His illness Is not at all serious, how
ever, and it was expected that he would
be able to participate in the war debt
debate in the House of Commons to-
morrow.
All newspapers contipled to spread
the debt question on ! ont pages, up
holding the British ST ndpoint, but at
the same time realizing the difficult
position of the present United States
administration.
Hopes were expressed that the whole
matter WILL be discussed by interested
parties, with view OF subsequent re-
vision OF the debts agreement. Con-
siderable interest was displayed in a
debate scheduled for Wednesday In the
House of Commons, in which many
members were expected to "let of
steam" Cabinet members expressed
the wish that it be conducted with
moderation and an absence Of state
ments which might create ill-feeling in
the. United States.
Neville Chamberlain, chancellor of
the exchequer. made it plain in an ad-
dress in Parliament yesterday that the
opinion in that body would not alter
the decision Of the government on the
debt question.
