The reply as approved by the coun- efl of three principals on M, was made public. It reads as follows > “The Allied and associated powe have recelved and given careful at- tention to the report of the commi sion appointed hy the German govern- ment to examine the economic eondi- tions of the treaty of peace. “This report appears to them to contain a very inadequate presenta- tion of the facts of the case, to be marked in parts with great exagger- ation and to ignore fundamental con- siderations arising out of the incident “dnd the results of the war, which ex- plained justly the terms that it is sought to impose. and duty. the to ete Statements Are Discredited. “The German note statement that the sources of Gormany were befor & population of 67,000,000, and it argues as though this were tho total for which, with diminished resource she wlll still be called upoen to opens with the industrial re- inadequate vide. “This {8 not the case.

Tt is however forgotten that Germany has never produced but has always im- ! ported phosphates of which <ie | stands in need. Nor is there anythirz in the terms of peace which will prevent or hinder the importation of phosphates into Germany in tho fu- ture. Other countries, which do not | produce phosphates, are also com- , pelled to import them in common | with many other products from the | outside; and the only difference in the two situations will arise from the | relative degrce of wealth or proverishment in the countries im- con- cern Coal Supply Adequate special £ coal, rd of roal | CGerman note makes e | ccmplaint of the deprivation o that nearly one- production of the existing | be lost But it omits 10 | notice that one-fourth of the pre-war { consumption of German coal in | the territories which it is now Pro- | posec Further, it fails to take account the production of | lignite, 80.000,000 tons of which were | produced annually in Germany be- | fore the war and none which is derived from the transferred territory.

It cannot be forgotten that among the most wanton acts per: petrated by the German armies dur. 12 the war was the almost complete ruction by her of coal supplies in northern France. An entire industry was obliterated with a calculation and which it will take many ta repaiv. The result has been a grave and prolonged shortage of coal in western Europe. There can be no reason in equity why the effect of this shortage should be borne exclus- ively by the allied nations who were its vietims, or why Germany, wha de- liberately made herself responsible for the deficiency should not to the full limit of her capacity make it good. “Stress is also laid upon the hard- ships alleged to be inflicted upon Germany by the necessity of import- ing in future iron ores and zinc. It is not understood why Germany should be supposed to suffer from conditions to which other countries contentedly submit. It would appear to be a fun- damental fallacy that the paolitical control of a country is essential in or- der to procure easonable share of its products. Such a proposal finds no foundation in ccanomic law or his- tory, “The allied mines wi ! to transfer, into A L should vears and associated powers cannot accept the speculative esti- mate presented to them in the Ger- man note on the future conditions of German industry as a whole. This estimate appears to them to be char- acterized and vitiated by palpable ex- | aggerations. No note is taken of the fact that the economic disaster pro- duced by the war is widespread and indeed, universal. Every country is called upon to suffer. There is no | veason why Germany, which was re- sponsible for the war, should not suf- fer also. No Faith in Data, regards the popula- future, no reliance can be the data which is con- the German note. On the it sought to prove that from Germany will be necessary but that few countries will receive the intending emigrants. On the other hand is sought to show that there will be a flood of Germans re- turning to their native land and live under the conditions which have al- ready becn desecribed as intolerable. It would be unwisé to attach too much weight to either speculation.

Against the war losses of Germany might very fairly be placed the far greater losses which her initiative and conduct of the war have Inflicted the Allied countries and which left incffaceable mark upon manhood of Iurope. On the other hand, the figures and the losses al- leged to have been caused by the blockade are purely hypothetical.

WE WILL BUY AMERICAN HARDWARE NORTH & JUDD’S STEEL ANDPIG IRON MARKET The Iron Age says: Though a measurable volume of business now marks the recent usher- ing in of government-free trading, no- where can it be said that the long- awaited Dbuying movement is under way. Weighing our various reports, the conclusion is forced that pressure | is gathering to such an extent that heavy purchasing cannot layed. Concessions in price are unquestion- | ably being made in both iron and | steel, but there is no general break | from what are regarded as market | levels and few of the changes as yet establish a new price. There is no frantic endeavor to get husinells at keenly competitive prices Exceptions In the matter of price reductions are found in cast-iron pipe and Alabama iron. Pipe has been re- duced $5 per ton at (Chicago, and Zastern shops are expected to follow. Birmingham confirms the general re- | port that Southern makers of pig iron are willing. where the quantities un- [ der inquiry are sufficiently large, to absorb more or less of the freight change and thus put their product on a competitive basis. From Chicago it is reported that at least one Southern producer is willing to waive the freight, in this instance $5. Meeting Ohio competition, a round tonnage of Southern was placed in Louisville at around/i$24.50 f. o. b. Birmingham Production in the Mahoning and Shenango valleys, as well as in Pltts- [ burgh proper, is put at a rate less | than consumption. The better tone in 1ron flected in stecel. The government made no award of the 200,000 tons of rails for which it made inquiry, but | wide variations are reported in the | auotations submitted. The leading interest is said to have named $45 on Bessemer and $47 open-hearth rails, against which four independent | rail mills are mentioned as quoting | higher, one asking $55 and $57. | A new note is the | some consumers now to enter contracts for the third quarter. Pro- | tection against price decline is in most | instances refused. The most striking cut in steel— | changeable, however, to securing ex- port trade-—was in 3,000 tons of plates for locomotives for TItaly. A large proportion of the husiness was placed among four companies at 2.50c, Pitts- burgh, or $3 per ton below the do- mestic level. One company took a portion of the order at price which nets it 2.62c, mill exporter has received a quotation of 2.45c on 1,500 tons of plates for China Other price conces: products are relatively | consisting of waiving of tain extras, though 10,000 fons of rajls for the Far Fast have been placed at price less than the $55-257 scale re | cently quoted on export inquiries. pig is re- on of it ms on 1 unimportant stec OLCOTT ATITLETIC DIRECTOR New Haven, May Herman P.
