Show GAINING STRENGTH. ; Strength of tho present German gov-j gov-j ernmcnt and the strong industrial po-1 po-1 sition of Germany were among the rea-: rea-: sons advanced why Argentina should ; lend $100,000,000 to tho Germans. As a matter of fact it is probable the sit-! sit-! uation in Germany is not so desperato as some of the correspondents have . made it out to be. The Germans are settling down to work and once tbe ' peace treaty is ratified they will be j able to rebuild their shattered fortunes to some extent under ordinary condi-. condi-. tions. They may ev.?n regain much of their lost prestige in the commercial world if the industries of the United States and Great Britain continue to be paralyzed by strikes. The recovery of Germany's economic position was recently discussed in the national as-: as-: sembly and Jlathias Erzbergor advanced ad-vanced the opinion that tho only manner man-ner in which it could bo accomplished would be through a large loan arranged by an international conference and supported by the United States. The Independent Socialists are said to be in favor of such ail arrangement. Erz-berger:s Erz-berger:s view does not coincide with the memorandum presented by tho German Ger-man delegates at Buenos Aires as bail for the loan of $100,000,000, but it shows lhat the Germans are making all possible preparations to compote for the trade of the world. Some of the allied countries are not doing bo well. |
