NAZI ECONOMIC MEASURES.

STIMULATING INDUSTRY. FOREIGN TRADE POSITION GROWS WORSE. t , (UHITED PRESS ASSOCIATION—BT EUSCTRIC TELEGIUPH—CQPXIUGUT.) (Received July 17, 9.31 p.m.) BERLIN, July 17. The Government has decided that a substantial reduction of taxation will be granted to firms renovating or enlarging their premises. In certain cases factories producing new lines of goods, or operating processes which benefit German trade, will be entirely free from taxation. These and similar measures will make further inroads into the revenue in future years, but imply an improvement in economic conditions. Nevertheless, the foreign trade returns for June reflect the international Jewish boycott of German goods. Compared with May, exports fell £2,400,000 and imports rose £1,530,000.

They are entitled to borrow from 300 to 1000 marks in certificates which may be exchanged for furniture and household utensils. The loans are repayable at 1 per cent, a month, but a quarter of the total loan is remitted for each child born in the next eight years. This is part of Herr Hitler's scheme for "restoring women to their right task of bearing children."
