BRITAIN AND GERMANY.

TRADING POSSIBILITIES. AMERICAN COMPETITION. (Received 5.5 p.m.) San. LONDON. Oct. R. German captains of industry, inclnding an ex-Chancellor, Herr Cuno, arrived in London to-day • They were tendered a luncheon at the German Embassy. Herr Carl Von Weinberg, who is interested in textile? and dye-stuffs says: *' The chief reason of our meeting with British industrialists and financiers is to establish European confidence. Otherwise the Americans will take everything. "If the Britisl and German industrial leaders had met in 1921 over wine and cigars, in the atmosphere of a quiet country house, they might have assisted each other through their post-war difficulties. They understand each other better than any others. A European revival depends primarily on that." THE CONFERENCE OPENED. AN ECONOMIC LOCARNO. Australian and N.Z. Cable Association.
