Manufacturers told me that, should the mark be doubled in value, they could not compete any more with many countries, Today the govern- ment furnishes coal to the factoricy at 900 marks per long ton or today about $3.50. With Germany's coal territory materially reduced by Pol- ish possessions of some provinces and with large amount to be sent out as reparation, the German government is compelled to purch coal from England and France, 1 resell it at a great loss to the factorles. Some am- bitious (fermans assured me thal Ger- many, when buying coal, gets back her own product delivered on account of reparation, but this has to be proved, Production Falls. Germany's capacity for production, as compared with p wr conditions has, of course, fallen a great deal. L us analyze the causes underlying th decline. Firstly the eiglit hour Jaw against the former 10 and 12 hours, pulls the production down 20 to 30 per cent. Secondly, the workman is not working as intensively as he used to-and his production now is roughly 80 per cent per given time unit of which it was formerly. Thirdly, the curtailment of Germany's territory, having lost considerable coal and iron area,, is also bound to reduce the quantity of manufacture #00ds IFourth, many skilled marksmen were lost in the war and that affects pro- duction as well. It is true that yest of this will be counteracted by intro- ducing more automatic machinery, which seems to be the tendency. Germany will not make half the quantity she formerly dumped on the markets of the world. Even now, with the greatly reduced number of markets, and with the diminished de- mand everywhe Giermany's fac- tories, as a rule, o at present over- tuxed beyond their capacity, and many of them are months behind in their ord Should conditions be stabilized all over and the Russian market opened, Germany will not be able to supply the demand for her goods, nor will she be able to fur- nish anywhere the quantity she for- merly did. In this there is a bit of consolation for our American manu- acturers, who are bound to enjoy a fair proportion of the world's trade, when the time comes, and Germany's competition will not be as keen as it was befare the war, Whereas, at the beginning after the armistice, the German manufacturers sold their products for export in marks, as cheaply as they possibly could, the tendency now is to charge as much as possible and a differential over domestic prices from 25 to 100 per cent is made, and besides inva fably foreign exchange is demanded in payment. This last feature is made obligatory by the government, which takes for itself 25 per cent of the foreign exchange received for any shipment abroad, and no export i cense is granted without this ex- changeé allotment. Eaport Prices Regulated. There is also a controiling com- sion which regulates cxport prices which are not fo be lower than cer- tain fixed prices. These regulations cause many evasions of the law, which is sometimes omplished bribing officials. This state of COAST TO COAST —— S—NReal Satisfaction.

A good part of the | 30 billlon marks deposits above re ferred to was intended to eover pur- | BB chases, With the new export ruling they cannot use them for that pur- pose, and many are obliged to liqui date them at a gerat This 1s #ald to be onc of the reasons the mark is down in face of the fact that recently Germany's exports exceeded her imports and that should mean a higher value for the mark Forelgn Restrictions, Tt may be of interest to mention the restrictions put on German goods in different countries, and how they are overcome, Y¥ngland has no other re- strictions than collecting the 26 per | B cent reparation export duty, This is generally collected by the English au- thorities at port of entry, from the consignee, who in turn charges ft back -to the German shipper. The latter, upon presenting proof that England has collected the amount, re imburse the German shipper, so that | the amount is virtually paid directly by the government, and not the manu- facturer, as some people think.

Heavy Taxes. J A word should be said on German taxation; especially as it relates ta her industries. There are not many indirect taxes by the government, to burdemns raflroa items of first ne-| cessity, or food, but a very heavy t is put on large cash holdings as well | as a very heavy tax on large incomes. A manufacturer showing a million |8 marks or over net gain for the year, [ has to give 80 per cent of it fo the! government. These heavy taxes arc | often dodged through plant exten- sions, which also cxplains the flour- ishing trade of machinery builders, these days. While the machine tool | business in England or with us most dead, the Germans have contracts and are working full forc as was evidenced at the Leipzig Spring Sample Fair, of which men- tion will be later. While on the ques- tion of machine tools, [ will add, that, owing to the good demand . prices have been advancing rapidly, so that in many they equal pre prices, taken on the same basi I will say that Ger-| serious other of her| [ are cases ic In conclusion, many is going through & crisis, more serious than in countries, and the solution problems are very difficult indeed. | The German nation is not happy by any means, and has hard problems be- | fore it.
