WILL NOT PROPHESY.

"GERMANY WANTS WORLD PROSPERITY." LONDON, July 22

Herr Helmuth Wohlthat, economic adviser to Marshal Goering, declined this week in London to make any prophecies about the autumn. He said, "The! prophecy department is closed. lam too busy working to prophesy." Herr Wohlthat, at present Germany's No. 1 commercial traveller, ie in London to attend the international whaling con-| ference. Though he would make no forecasts about the autumn, he said: "Germany, like everybody eke, wants world prosperity to return. German trade cannot prosper unless the world prospers. "We realise that neither Germany nor Britain can be prosperous unless the other is prosperous, too. Britain does half her trade with her Empire, but Germany has no empire. Her greatest markets are in Europe, and it is our trade with the Balkan countries that we particularly want to develop." ;
