WASHINGTON July l2.Char.es H. Ault, . chairman of tive foreign trade division of the Newark (N. J.) ' Chamber of Commerce, has returned from an extended tourv of .

European . countries are naturally taking ad vantage of this state of mind. It is . especially true of Germany, a coun try that is etraining every nerve to ' regain her place in the warld's com merce.. Germany,, is, - of - course, aided by the exchange eonditione.hy the more intimate knowledge .' pos leased by her business men of . trade conditions and by their personal wil- : liagness and apparent ability to make liberal credit terms and price eon cessions. '. Germany - is showing con sumate skill in the manipulation of her finances. In many cases. Instead of having the proceeds df sales re mitted to Germany, German export ers at all principal points are bpld- ing them, deposited to a large extent in the ' capably managed German banks long ; established "in South 7 America. This Is evidently male pos sible by, an arrangement with -the German government , whereby the German exporter, - upon submitting suitable evidence to the Reictubank - 'that gold or its -aquivalnt has-been - deposited to his credit in a. German bank in a foreign country, is extend . ed credit to a like amount in paper marks. The effect of this Is to In flate Germany's currency and ' M cause extreme depreciation ef her ex change. This is of the ' utmost ad vantage in her export trade. These maneuvers naturally lead a business man, carefully watching the trend f trfe. to believe that Germany is Intentionally keeping the mark down. It makes for low .prices to the for-1 ; elgn purchaseTS., , , i." . Mr. Ault also discusses the long term credit feature adopted by most Y European countries and.-Japan tn their trade .with the South Ameri ' 7 cant, showing how It Induces greater "' sales, and expreates'his bcHef that "there should be an immediate crea tion ef financial institutions under the Edge law to facilitate eitensions aad long term credits and promote freer exchange of exports end lm . .

When i we consider that the Carteret County Summer, School last year enrolled only twelve, it seems good to see our teachers taking on a little profession, al spirit and attend in such a body as we have this summer. 1 think the majority of these girls are satisfac torily placed and it is gratifying to note the attitude with which the peo ple "of Beaufort have received these young teachers, c It is hoped that the citizens may be . interested in the work that is being carried on . in our midst and may, show a direct concern by visiting the sessions and meeting those in attendance here,'.' This Sum mer School should mean a great deal to Beaufort in many ways , and cer tainly should ; prove effective and helpful to the educational system of Carteret County. ' The instructors in the Summer School are G. H. Fer guson, lire. C. Ti Blalock, of Raleigh, and Hiss Nina Garner, of . Newport. The School will be : in' session - six weeks and during this time it is hoped that many ef the town people will visit the various classes. ' - i V G. H. FERGUSON.
