Disastrous Year for Germanys Commerce
The Hamburg chamber of commerce reports 1920 brought a disastrous drop in German foreign trade. Without revision of the Versailles treaty Germany cannot regain normal conditions.

Trade with South America stalls, Mexico’s trade controls hurt German business, and American blacklist impact lingers in neutral markets.
