Waahington.—Bursting In the bub-

a conference between Secretary of
Commerce Hoover, Secretary of Agri
culture Wallace and republican and
democratic senator*' composing the
"agricultural bloc.’ r .
It was explained that Germany is
now expending the equivalent of |4,-
006,000,060 in American money in
subsidizing her industries by artificial
means. Her exports are underselling
those of the United States In South
American markets for example. The
cheapness of her products is one of
the chief causes of the falling off in
American exports. Bat the opinion
was expressed that Germany will fail
in her efforts to corner the world's
markets. Just as ske failed to make
