TRADE AND BRIBERY.
CHARGE AGAINST GERMANY. A SCHEME THAT FAILED. LONDON, July 8. The Berlin correspondent of the Daily News reports that one of the biggest attempted international graft scandals is revealed by the Federation of German Industries in a statement which shows that 22 German export houses, some of them of world-wide reputation, ignoring their pledge to the Soviet Trade Bureau, signed agreements with the notorious Pole, Kutisher, now in prison, whereby the latter promised to obtain huge orders by bribing Soviet officials. Three hundred firms throughout the country were negotiating with Kutisher when he was arrested. Inquiries show that Russian officials, either owing to their high notions of business morality, or to the fear of spies, cannot easily be bribed. The Soviet have circulated in Britain and Germany a "black list" of rogues who have been posing as middlemen in the Russian trade.
