AMERICA FACES TRADE COMBAT WITH GERMANY

Berlin-ruled Monopolies Prepare for Crusade After the War.

WASHINGTON, D. C, June 17. The American producer and merchant mill be comonted by German government buying monopolies and with the serious competition of syndicated German Industries in his home and foreign markets after the war, according to a report to this government on syndication In Germany. "The government monopolization of practically all produce in Germany, the further syndication of important branches of industry, the restrictions placed upon finance, the merchant and shipping trades, which means commerce as a whole, deserves the earnest attention Of the American government and business world," says the report. "This compulsory concentration made necessary by the war to obtain the highest efficiency in production, together with the greatest economy in employment of labor, raw material, credit, and transport facilities, as well

as for revenue purposes, will be car

ried over into times of peace, in order

to prevent a financial panic ana in

dust rial depression, with the conse

quent depreciation in taxable values Smaller Men Seel Out.

"The smaller manufacturer who has clfflculty in continuing operations on

account of the scarcity of labor, raw material, and working capital, has in

many cases sold out to the greater

concerns in his branch and before

compulsory syndication would close

down his works. The new law whicn has been enacted forbidding the for

mation of new stock companies, with a capital of over 300,000 marks, without special sanction of the government, effectively puts aside any competition

with these syndicates. "The new ship subsidy bill passed by the relchstag for the rehabilitation of the German merchant marine, while extremely liberal in the indemnities to be paid the ship owners for losses, damages, and maintenance of ships occasioned by the war. means in reality almost a complete government control of German overseas shipping for years to come. Retention of Monopolies. ' The retention of these monoplies, created during the war, having pur chasing power compatible with the available foreign credit and ships tonnage, and which will distribute tho product according to the needs of the merchant and supply at hand, appears to be rather a necessity in the import markets after peace is restored. At least until such a time as the export of German productions secures for her a foreign credit that will balance the strain on her gold reserves. "Of course, through the entire or partial elimination of open commerce in foreign trade transactions the German government may meet with obstacles, such as counter tariff measures and embargoes that cannot be overcome; or a complete breakdown of this system when pitted against the unrestricted trading of the outside world. Must Combat System. "But, nevertheless, some method of combating this system at the start must be found, through combinations of producers, bankers and shippers, when trading with Germany, and with other countries contemplating similar monopolies, comes into question, or through government regulations and restrictions with regard to the export of essential raw materials, that will assure an equally good foreign market for our manufactured goods. "Otherwise our commerce will suffer from the periodical exclusion of certain wares in some countries, and serious manipulations in our produce and shipping markets are likely."

Red Cross Notes

The surgical dressings quota for June- hae been completed by the Wayne county workshop, and that department will be closed until further notice is given. The Indiana warehouse has issued the following lEstruction3 for the county chapters: General Manager H. D. Gibson wishes chapters to know the Red Cross will gladly receive comfort kits which may be donated by local branches of the X. C. T U. It U hoped the W. C. T. U. will observe Red Cross speciflflcations in making these kith. It is also agreed the W. C. T. U. may Include Testaments, but the Red Cross does not wish any reading matter to be accepted other than this. The comfort kits should have a double drawstring run in the casing at the top of the kit. The best drawstring for this purpose is obtained if two khaki shoestrings are used for the kits for the army, an dtwo black shoetrlngs for the kits for the navy. Chapters in Indiana have permission to knit the "Council of Defense" sock. The chairman of the knitting committee in each chapter should be loyally supported by the women in all her decisions. Requests she may make as to raveling toes or even the feet of the socks should be willingly and cheerfully acceded to. Chapters in Indiana are requested to follow instructions given in A. R. C. 400 for knitting the helmet. The only

change permitted is In shortening the tabs alight! . Make a hank of yarn (one-quarter pound) knit one helmet. The wbnstlets should be knitted of the sock yarn. Make them ten inches with the thumb opening at each end as formerly. Knitters should be careful not to draw in the tops when putting on the crocheted edge. This applies to sweaters as well as to wristlets. Necks and armholes of sweaters must be finished with the crocheted edge. Necka of sweaters must always stretch to twenty-two inches.
