Gernldr, Trade Break auith
 Brasil May Proue Benefit
 To United States Exporters
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1. = The mechanism by which Germany has been able to float her South and Central American trade to rising levels was spotlighted in Ter recent interchange with Brazil which re- suited in a temporary suspension of their trading.
 In order to build up her foreign trade as a means of bringing home much needed raw products as well as cash, Germany hit on system of barter out of which developed trade currency amounting to an indirect subsidy of her exports. The currency with which this trade is carried on is commonly called the compensation mark" or "aski- mark"
 Its value in the South and Gen. tral American trade varies in the different countries, varies from day to day and even from purchase to purchase, but averages around 20 percent below the reichsmark. Since this devalued currency is ac- cepted by Germany at face value for purchase of German goods, 1t permits South Americans to buy German goods at about 20 percent below the quoted price.
 Because U. s. currency also has been devalued, U. s. merchants could not legitimately kick at this German "devaluation' if it were on a firm basis. But askimarks wobble in value up and down until Yankee traders are at their wits o,.-l +<~ o1,-~1to for troln ooaipct if

DISCOVERY OF. CHROM|TE M ADE NEAR KETCH|KAN
Territorial Field Engineer Makes Find in Cleveland
 Peninsula Region

An interesting result of field in vestigations recently conducted in the Ketchikan mining precinct by the Territorial Department of Mines is the discovery of the oc- currence of the mineral chromite on Cleveland Peninsula.
 The discovery was made by J. c. Roehm, associate engineer of the Department of Mines, who has been engaged for the past two months in examining mining properties and assisting prospectors in the Ketchl- kan region, and was reported today by B. D. Stewart, Territorial Com missioner of Mines.
 The locality where the chromlte was found is along the summit Of the divide that separates Vixen h. let from Union Bay, which are in dentations from Ernest Sound on the north coast of Cleveland Penin- sula. The principal observed occur rences of the mineral are on and adjacent to the summit of Mt. Bur nett, otherwise known locally as Red Mountain, and on the ridge that extends westerly from it toward Union Bay. By reason of its pro- nounced reddish color, and the ab- sence of vegetation upon it, MT. Burnett forms a conspicuous land mark.
 Investigation and mapping of this mountain mass disclosed that It consists of general core of dunite and pyroxenite surrounded by alter mating bands of other ultra basic rocks that include hornblendite, gabbro and pyroxenite, all of which have been intruded into a broad belt of altered sedimentary rocks. Many black basic dikes penetrate the schists adjacent to their con- tacts with the intrusives.

THEY SELL, BUT MUST BUY

For several years Germany has gained steadily, some of it outright new business, some at the expense of U. s. traders. although evidently little, and a greater amount at the expense of England. (Steady as was the German gain, however, the United States eYCeeded is in 1937)
 When Germany pays for South American goods in askimarks, South American countries in return can buy German goods with them But sufficiently unusual trade terms have been imposed by Germany that several American countries have expressed distaste for the ex- change, advantageous though it is for them to have an outlet for their raw products.
 To a degree it straitjackets their trade so that when they sell to Germany they must also buy an equal amount, a condition leaving them subject to German trading whims. That is made especially acute because Germany ordinarily buys faster than she delivers, leav-

50 Soviet Aircraft Report ed to Have Blown Up
 Railway Sectors

HSINKING, Manchoukou, Aug. 1. Japanese Army officials announce that 50 Soviet war planes inflicted slight damage on railways in an afternoon raid in the vicinity Of Changkufeng, disputed border re- zion.
 It is said that four Soviet air craft were brought down on Kor- can territory while one is believed to have been brought down on Manchoukuian territory after the raiders dropped nearly 30 bombs.
 The zone reported bombarded is near the junction of the borders of Korea, Manchoukuo and Russian Siberia in the vicinity of Yuki and Chinghsing in extreme northeastern Korea, the Japanese report says.
 The statement issued by the Japanese also say that only anti aircraft fire was used as the raid took place too near the border for the use of defensive planes. how eevr, Tokyo report says the Jap anese did use planes to repeal the attack.
 Japanese Army circles are said to take a serious view of the attack but charged that the incident is only "face saving" step on the part of the Russians, declaring that the Soviets are seeking to avenge counter losses at Changku- feng Hill and other areas which the Japanese are reported to have talk en on Sunday.
 Japanese Army circles said that except for the bombing raid, the border is quiet.
