GERMAN-DUTCH TRADE AGREEMENT
FIRST PACT OF ITS KIND LONDON, Jan. 26. The Foreign Office announces that Netherlands and German business men will meet to implement the GermanDutch trade agreement which the British, American, and Dutch delegations reached at The Hague. Reuter’s Berlin correspondent says that this is the first foreign trade pact between Western Germany and a foreign country, and opens the way for business men of all the nations to visit Germany on a quota basis and negotiate directly with German manufacturers for exports. The Foreign Office says that the delegations agree that a revival of German and Dutch trade is essential to both. They have reached a payments agreement whereby trade items may be offset against each other on a guilder account with a net halance payable quarterly in dollars or sterling at the creditors’ option. The meeting also resulted in contracts for Dutch importation of nearly £250,000 worth of German dyestuffs and' other materials.
