-« wn ■ - — U. S. Farmers and Germans in Hardest Plight Secretary Hoover Says, Aside From These, World's Com mercial Condition Has Improved in Last Year. Washington, Oct. 20.—The "world's commercial strength has improved during the last year, except in cen tral Europe, Secretary Hoover said today at a meeting of the foreign commerce department of the Cham her of Commerce of the United States. Two dark spots only were pictured— the American agricultural situation and conditions in Germany. Secretary Hoover referred, in speak ing of American farming conditions, to the disparity of prices of many agricultural products with those of other industries, more particularly in that the difficulties of the wheat farmers in certain portions of the west were acute. In Germany, he said, the 'situation affects the rest of the world, contributing to the de pression in American agriculture. This was true, he said, particularly In relationship to animal products. Discussing the situation in the United States, Mr. Hoover spoke of the high rate of production, absence of serious unemployment, absence of speculation, and of large stocks of goods, all contributing to general sta bility. Increasing strength in other parts of the world, he said, reflected itself in increasing proportion of American exports to European coun tries outside of central Europe. Eigh ty per cent of American exported manufactures, he said, now go to other parts of the world, and the manufacturing industry • does not feel the repercussion in central Eu rope to the degree felt by agriculture.
