The Man who Always has an IJONESVIL German Trade With Great Britain Germany was the chief customer in (Ireat Britain's wool trade during 1921, according to the National Bank of Commerce in New York. Total Gorman imports of all commodities from Great Britain, however, were lower during that year than in 1920, and British consumption of German go<-ds declined nearly one-third, the bank says in the dune number of its magazine, Commerce Monthly. "Imports of German goods into Groat Britain during 1921 were valued at 120,550,000, nearly a third less than the total of i'30,252,000 in the previous year," according to Commerce Monthly. "The value of Brit i h exports to Germany also declined from 1*21,707,000 in 1920 to 117,831,000 in 1921, while reexports of foreign s-r.d colonial goods decreased in value from 129.382,000 to 122,897,000. "During 1921. Germany was the oestination for 110,409,000 pounds of British reexports of raw wool, compared with 25,013,000 pounds in 1920, and 93,197,000 pounds in 1913, and in addition took seven million pounds of British home-grown wool."

J ' Genoa Conference P The Genoa Conference has definitely shown that international economic ;cforms cannot he expected from min- ^ isters whose political careers depend j( on thir success in adanclng the irre- j oncilable demands of their own coun- r tries, the National Bank of Commerce j in New York believes. It is also evi- ^ dent that Europe appears unable to a readjust her international debts with- a out the cooperation of the United ^ States. , i "It is too soon to know what the ultimate effects of the Genoa confer- y once will be," the banks says in its y magazine, Commerce Monthly, for y June. "Three facts, however, i.tand j out. In the f.rst place, it now appears too much to expect that the ministerial heads, whose political life depends upon maintaining the confidence of a majority of their oristitucnts, will endanger their control at home for the sake of practicable international economic programs. At least it may be said that an approach to cooperation by political representatives of governments, sufficient to accomplish a practicable settlement, appears extremely doubtful so long as the claims of important European countries are so irreconcilable as they now appear. "Until a broad campaign of education can bring to the masses of voters a comprehension of the utter impracticability of the full economic and financial claims of the several nations we cannot expect a political solution of the European problem. "Indeed the striking way in which this truth has been brought to light (tf f Ua nnnon n?mnnn vn icno V* r? ai tuu vicin/a \.uiu v;i * i?v vuv question whether after all the greatest accomplishment of that conference may not be the final recognition that the great problems must be worked out chiefly by conferences of economic and financial experts. It is now expected that numerous smaller conferences of experts will follow the Genoa conference, the most interesting of which is that of the representatives of the great banks of issue. The meeting of these experts offers the most promising step toward a solution of the great European problem. "The second outstanding result of the Genoa conference is the renewed confirmation that a very large part of the difficulties that are responsible for present political irreconciliation is found in the internatonal financial oblgations. No plan approaching practicability has yet been propose! that does not involve a readjustment of these obligations. "The third outstanding fact is that Europe appears unable in herself to accomplish the readjustment of the international debt situation. No comprehensive plan of readjustment has been proposed that does not involve either cooperation of the United States in the readjustment of these obligations or large loans from this country to Europe. "Just how or when the United States will find in Europe conditions wmi it w in iirmici it |M?itiirti>iu i*'i her to lend all needed help cannot now he foretold. However, the prospect that American financiers of high standing are to enter into conference with their colleagues in Europe is reassuring. "Notwithstanding the magnitude of the differences which have appeared at Genoa, there is still hope that the effect of the conference will ultimately be to clear away some of the uncertainty that has blocked earlier agreement. The history of the conference, however, shows that in the past we have not exaggerated the magnitude of the European problem and that the solution will call for the greatest possible degree of cooperation on the part of all nations, including the United States."

In the une issue of its magazine, Comnerce Monthly, the bank declares that ilthough commercial institutions are mply able to supply short-term funds here is a real demand for legislation >y congress to readjust the machiniry for making agricultural loans laving a maturity of from six months o three years. The plan to amend he Federal Farm Loan Act for this jurpose and the temporary extension >f the life of the War Finance Corporation, it believes, merit serious :onsideration. "There are a number of bills pendng in congress designed to improve :redit facilities serving the agricultural community," Commerce Monthly ?ays. "Of course, these are only one dass of period of business depression, *nd which aim to palliate an economic :ondition. However, agricultural legislation especially merits consideration, for the evidence Indicates that the farming class has had to bear n lery heavy burden during the period of deflation. In the general debacle of wholesale prices of 1920 and 1921, agricultural products were conspicuous. The purchasing power of farm products, in terms of all other commodities, was in April, 1921, but G3 per cent as great as in 1913, which fact directly reflects the relative harshness with which deflation has borne upon the farming class. "Commercial banking agencies are in a position amply to provide for agricultural advances of a maturity up to six months, and paper taken on such advances is rediscountable at the Federal reserve banks. However, commercial banks are un#illing to take any great amount of naner th?> mn turity of which is for more than six months, partially because it is not rediscountable. It is just here that some sort of rearrangement rei mimends itself. "That steps should be taken to make financing of such activities easier is one of the conclusions reached by the Joint Commission of Agricultural Inquiry. In its report >n 'Credit' was included the draft of bill which subsequently was introduced into both houses of congress in the form of an amendment to the Federal Farm Loan Act. The bill is designed to provide credit machinery which will meet this demand for agricultural advances of a maturity of from six months to three years. Due to the press of other legislative business this bill has received little attention in either house of congress. However, it seems to have been based upon a thorough investigation of the fundamentals of the problem and merits the serious consideration which it no doubt will receive in time. "Another move in the way of legislation to cure agricultural ills is the extension of the lift? of the War Finance Corporation. The work done by the War Finance Corporation together with continuing business uncertainty no doubt warrants the extension ol' life for another years of this temporary organization.' Regarding other proposals for remedial legislation which are being advanced at this time, the National Bank of Commerce in New York says: "Some of these propose to put nt the disposal of the farmers huge amounts through various existing banking agencies, the funds involved to be advanced by the government. Ail ? 1 - % - - uuirr piuns are revolutionary and would establish complete new systems of rural credit machinery. Notably among these is a bill providing for the establishment of a landschaft system which would advance money cn short-term mortgages. The plan as outlined bears much resemblance to our present Federal Farm Loan System in function and organization. Such a duplication of machinery would appear wasteful upon its face.

Mcl {mJmJmJmJmJh established that the farm loan system as designed and operating is deficient, and that there is a legitimate demand for additional machinery to grant loans on the basis of farm mortgages. "Pending legislation which provides for the erection of extensive new machinery for agricultural finance should be regarded critically. It is certain that it will merit passage only il and when a careful examination reveals that it will indeed cure certain existing ills which present machinery cannot cure. The neJ for encouraging the granting of certain types of agricultural credits with a maturity oi from six months to three years seems well established. The proposal of the Joint Commission or Agriculture tu extend the activities of the farm loan system to achieve this result h?3 found favor quite generally. This and other proposals will doubtless receive 'consideration when congress ha'' cleared its docket of the tariff and soldiers' bonus. For this reason those who have at heart the best interest of our rural communities should form an intelligent opinion as to the best method of improving credit facilities serving agricultural interests. The exstcnce of such an opinion may well be an insurance against an enactment which in the end might prove but :i wasteful or otherwise undesirable experiment." Japanese Withdraw Paper Notes From Circulation Tokio, May 30.?The Japanese government has decided to withdraw from circulation the ten sen paper notes, worth less than five cents American and which are about the size and torture of the old 25 cents note commonly known as "shin-plasters" which were issuel in the United States and Canada nearly half a century ago. The ten sen notes are to be replace J by nickel coins a change of which it is expected will be completed by 192-1 and which will necessitate the with drawal of the ten sen silver coins.
