German Call to Curtail American Imports Amid Trade Deficit
Amsterdam dispatch from Dee notes the Rhenish Westphalian Gazette urges minimal U.S. purchases to reduce Germanys trade deficit of about 1,000,000 marks yearly. Before the war Germany imported 1,711,000,000 marks in goods from the U S and exported 713,000,000 marks, with dividends on American securities aiding the deficit. The paper argues to cut imports especially of cotton and copper and instead expand shipments of German machinery to Russia, Romania, and the Turks, while relying less on American supplies for raw materials.
