United States as •uninviting to Ameri

between that country! and Mexico
shows a decided upward trend. During

exports between the two republics
amounted to more than 531,000,000
pesos, according to figures given the
Associated Press by W. P. Saunders,
secretary of the American Chamber
ot Commerce in Mexico City.
Of this amount' 376,000,000 pesos
represent exports from Mexico and
164,000,000 pesos represents imports.
Previous to the current fiscal year,
the banner period of Mexican-United
States business was in 1911 when 102.-

ported from Mexico and 146,000,000

made clear for the divers
fc_
ed values of goods, these figures in
dicate clearly that trade is increas
ing,” said Mr. Saunders. “Mexico will
spend more than $150,000,000 in the
United States during the year 1919,
with imports of hardware, machinery,
drugs and dry goods leading all oth
ers. During the month of August we
received more than 700 letters from
firms who intimated intentions of es
tablishing branches here.
“The end of the war has brought
sharp competition for Mexican busi
ness. It is interesting to note in this
connection that sentiment is giving
way to sound business in dealings
with the Germans. It will be remem
bered that during the war a referen
dum vote of chamber of commerce
members favored a commercial boy
cott of Germany after the war. This
has been forgotten here and German
firms, who are conceded to have the
firmest hold on The hardware business
in the republic, are buying practically
all of their supplies from American
dealers. Japanese competition is neg
ligible.”
A strenuous effort is being made to
stabililb transportation conditions
which present the most serious ob
stacles to trading. Congestion of

after bucket containing tbreo or more
gold bars, each worth more than
$5,000, were hoisted to the surface and
dumped on the deck of the Racer. The
first of these bars brought lusty cheers
from ^the crew of the salvage ship, but
tossing fortune about soon came to be
merely another form of manual labor
to these sailormen.
Most of the gold bars were nine
inches long, two inches thick and four
inches wide and weighed about twen
ty-eight pounds. ( For days not one
was found as many of them were
hurled clear of the wreck by the blast
ing necessary to make the strong
chamber accessible. Several feet of
sand have now been washed over these
scattered bars and beneath masses of
twisted steel and it frequently re
quires hours of patient labor to pry
them loose. The record day’s haul so
far has been forty-seven bars—worth
approximately $350,000. Thus far
several million dollars worth of treas
ure has been salvaged.

Thus spoke Henry Morganthau, who
headed the United States investigation’
commission which has been at work
in Poland and discussing today his ob
servations in central Europe.
“And what will be the result,” Mr.
Morganthau asked. Replying to his
own question he continued:
“If disintegration keeps up among
Germany’s neighbors' there can be but
one result. I doubt whether Germany
fully appreciates her own strength.
As she sits, calmly watching the dick
ering going on between the new states
which are losing sight of great prin
ciples and fighting over little strips
of territory, she must take grim sat
isfaction in the battle her enemies are
waging in her behalf, and a Germany
encouraged by such discord among
weak and sruggling states, undoubt
edly will resort to arms within a few
years and regain her lost territory.
“What will prevent the military
clique from regaining control in. Ger-
states against Bolshevism and milit
ism, and if these new states continue
their quarrels and weaken themselves
they can not resist any enemy, much
Iss a great untouched power like Ger
many.”
