LIBERAL ATTITUDE IN AMERICA TOWARDS ACCEPTING IMPORTS FROM GERMANY TO PAY FOR AMERICAN EXPORTS. GERMANY REGARDED MIDDLE EUROPE AS HER SPHERE OF INFLUENCE BUT GRANTED IN PRINCIPLE THAT EACH NATION HAD A RIGHT TO POLITICAL CULTURAL AND RELIGIOUS ANATOMY AND ITS OWN FORM OF GOVERNMENT. GERMANY REALIZED THE NEED AND THE ADVANTAGE TO HERSELF, TO THE COUNTRIES IN THE GERMAN SPHERE OF INFLUENCE, AND TO THE REST OF THE WORLD OF MAINTAINING AN OPEN DOOR AND THE FREEST POSSIBLE TRADE RELATIONS WITH THE COUNTRIES OF WESTERN EUROPE AND THE REST OF THE WORLD. THE RELATION OF POPULATION TO SUSISTENCE IN THIS GERMAN SPHERE IS SUCH THAT THE STANDARD OF LIVING IN THIS AREA COULD NOT BE MAINTAINED AND IMPROVED WITHOUT A VIGOROUS FLOW OF TRADE IN BOTH DIRECTIONS WITH COUNTIES OUTSIDE THE GERMAN SPHERE. THE MODERN INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT OF THE WORLD WAS FAR AHEAD OF THE POLITICAL AND SOCIAL CAPACITIES TO CAPITALIZE CONSTRUCTIVELY UPON THIS DEVELOPMENT FOR A BROADLY IMPROVED STANDARD OF LIVING.
