NAZIS' DEARTH OF IMPORTS A GROWING THREAT TO EUROPE

A PICTURE OF A German-controlled Europe unable to import raw materials from the rest of the world is drawn in a study of Nazi Europe and world trade made public by the Brookings Institute in Washington.

The study, by Dr. Cleona Lewis, says the area as a whole is similar to old Germany in respect to foreign trade, being a net importer of food and raw materials and a net exporter of manufactured goods --but it would have to import substantially more raw materials than Germany did.

The electrical industries and thuse dependent un them would be hampered by a shortage of copper and many other minerals. Though aluminum might replace copper, this would require a con- siderable increase in the manu- facture of aluminium. The print- ing and publishing industries would lack good type metal.

Old Attributes Remain

The study points out that the area's inherent advantages and handicaps revealed by past ex- perience will remain, whether the political organisation and adminis- tration are such as to promote or obstruct full utilisation of Its resources,

The study contains detailed analyses of the movements trade between the Nazi area and other nations and continents, and it is shown that this area of buys 歇 larger proportion Western Hemisphere exports than any other country or con- tinent. Five of the ten Bouth American republics sent as much as 40 per cent, of their exporte to Europe in 1937.

This trade included a large pro- portion of the coffee, cotton "and rubber exported from Brazil; grain, wool, linseed and meat from Argentina: coffee and oil from Colombia; copper from Chile and Peru; qil from Venezuela and various other products of smaller aggregate value.

In 1929 Nazi Europe was the. principal market for United States exports, and although these had declined considerably by 1037, this country still sent 23 per cent. of its exports.to that area.
