NTRATEPREWAR “FEARED INEUROPE tha s Omectnon to German‘ Limitation on Imports i Interrupts Parley. ’1 Cgble to The Star. {PARIS, Frce, July 30 (CD.N.)— action of the Germans in walking ot of the Brussels Nitrate Conference | 26,5« this week is thought to bs a signal an< nouneing the zero hour for a price war in nitrates. Chile has a year's supply op hand and, should price-cutting become serious, could afford to throw overboard hundreds of thousands of tons. An agreement between European syn- thetic producers and Chilean natural producers was all but reached in Lu- zerne, Switzerland, during July, but the Germans announced a duty of $30 a ton uzd & limit on the amount which could be imported. Chilean producers did not object to the duty, but could not agree 10 the import limitations, and so the Lugzerne Conference failed. i Negotiations Begun Again. Negotiations ~ began again Pluropean synthetic producers, most of whom want to keep their powder sup- ess about supplying reasonably priced fertilizers to farmers. Now the Ger- mans have also walked out of the Brus- séls Conferonce. The result is expectsd to be a' series of agreements among individual Euro- pean producers and a further series of agresments among European importers and Chilean producers. Restriction of Imports. The desire of individual countries to preserve expensive production for war purposes and a normal protection policy restricts imports to Europe. Germany i a large consumer and also a large producer, which makes Germany & big factor.
