28 GERMANY QUTLOOK FOUND OPTINISTIC Situation Called Best Since 1923 Despite Gloom Seen on All Sides. BY EDGAR ANSEL MOWRER. By Wircless to The Star and the Chicago Daily News. Copyright, 1029 | BERLIN, November The eco- | nomic situation of Germany is unques- | tionably better than it has been at any time since the stabilization of the mark at the end of 1923, Substantial facis prove this statement, and until these | facts are answered the general con- clusion cannot be contradicted. Only one would not think that Ger- many was so well off if one lived herw. {in 1913 were approximately 15 per cent country was facing the greatest crisw in its troubled existence. Now it is true that all is not well here. The general political situation is confused and the cabinet is accused of unpardonable weakness in not car- | rying out those reform measures whicn practically all persons agree are neces- sary. The governments of the states and the cities continue regularly to policy will surely lead to bankruptcy. As a result of this overspending by the | authorities capital is scarce and coi- respondingly dear. Unemployment High. Today, making | of the national income. t the war burdens, this unproductive spending is not much under 40 per cent of the national income. Unemployment is very high—higher than last year at this fime. | Still more effective in producing pes- | simism is the sinking stock index, Ger- | ¢ man shares have steadily declined in |J the last year, when foreigners have pre- | a ferred American to German stock ex- |t changes. But stocks are still so high | v that the actual return does not equal the cost of the borrowed money. There- fore Germans with capital, even after New York's panic, do not care to buy Germany is falrly sweltering in gloom. | One hardly meets & happy face among | the business people, and the general | falk is so_consistently pessimistic that uld imagine the | the debit side.
