INDUSTRIAL DANGER.

GERMAN GOODS

BY CAfTiB—PRESS A.SEOP,TA.TKV\r—COPYEIGHT' Received July IS, 11.5 a.m. LONDON, July 17. Mr. Basil Thompson, in a special article, draws attention to the industrial danger to other countries when ill© Ruhr impasse ends. Many German factories continue to work full €ime throughout the occupation. Storehouses are blocked with all kinds of i-goods, and some day these are going to "be let loose on the market at prices against which no manufacturer will be able to compete.' It would be difficult to mention, the kind of goods not being produced. The French have scarcely commandeered anything but coal and chemicals, but there are already indications that French firms hope to secure products at extraordinary low prices and are prepared to -dump them on the world. If the French do not the Germans will, unless •■all are heaved into the Rhine, and there will be a serious disturbance of trade. 't>ne firm alone is employing fiß,ooo con"tinuously. Imagine what that means in output.—Times.
