GILBERT stHff t'nrrropomlrnt nf th Ihrnlng I'ulillr Ledger lib the l'rnre Ilrlriciitlon In llurupe By Special Cable Covurlolit. 1VI9, by 1'ubllc Lrtlger ( 'ompanu Paris, Jan. 10. Blockade restrictions against Germany already liavc been relaxed, according to members of the American commission. America is now shipping food to the Central Powers and Trance is getting coke from Germany. President Wilson's meeting with the Allied Premiers, coming soon, is expected to arrange for increased relaxation of the blockade. It is only a question of time before trade will be fully resumed, except in so far as the different countries feel the necessity to protect their own industries, built up during the war, from competition with German industries. This telaxation of the trade blockade is the- first big step towuid a teturn to normal conditions. The hostile spirit is already breaking down, especially in the occupied territory, where American soldiers ate reported to like the German population and arc naturally liked by Get man'. The doughboys who arc billeted there are given the beet beds in their homes by the Germans. Their boots arc cleaned at night by German women, but the considerations which led to the relaxation of tho blockade arc not sentimental. Germany has commodities which the rest of the world needs. Ger many is in need of food. America has plenty of food, which the country must sell or face a financial disturbance. ' France Breaks Blockade Wall s The situation in France is particularly illustrative of the conditions. France began working the Lorraine iron mines with the determina tion to bar out everything German. In a few weeks she faced tho neces sity of closing down the mills for want of coke. The industry had to have German coke, and France opened up a hole in the blockade wall to let in this coke. In a similar way Germany had to be fed. The British commission reports that while travelers and tho rich obtain plenty of food, the poor arc actually starving, especially for lack of fats. Moreover, the blockade hacLto be modified to permit the shipment of food across Germany to the new interior nations like Czech-Slovakia. Political conditions also were verge of a Bolshevist revolt. When food was shipped there the situation was saved. Bolshevism is threatened in Germany also unless food is imported. What the world needed especially from Germany was potash, dye stuffs and chemicals. France needed German coke and manganese, although France, which is not generally known, leccived a vast deposit of potasfl with the Alsace-Lorraine, which had been discovered by the Germans but never developed, because Germany was unwilling to create competition with the potash fields which were already being wotked. In the future there is bound to be big competition between the French and Germans over the potash trade. Two Causes Prompt Caution The delay in relaxing the blockade and the caution about increasing the iclaxntion are due chiefly to two factors. The Allies fear that German securities will be smuggled out of that country if communica tions are restored. It is manifestly important to keep German wealth confined in Germany when-it comes to the collecting of war damages. The second factor is that all countries arc compelled to consider the effect of letting loosethc tide of German products upon our own economic situation. . America, for example, has built up during the war tho coal tar industry, tho manufacture of dyestuffs, the chemical industry and sulphuric acid production, all of which arc in their infancy and can be destroyed if the German products arc admitted without careful consid eration of the effect. Probably the adnission of German products will be restricted everywhere. Of dyes, for c.tample, in America only the high-grade colors for silks, which have not yet been made successfully, may be admitted. Kestrictions certainly will be imposed for self-protection, but it is coming to be recognized generally that without shipping and the bulk of the German mercantile tonnage is certain to be taken away in the peace settlement Germany cannot be a formidable competitor. Crippled for a Century Official economic estimates of the United States show that without shipping and with other countries protecting their new industries, which were built up during the war, from German competition, and with Ger many burdened by vast war damages, it will be a full century before Germany recovers Iter old economic position in the world. While most of what Germany wants, namely food, comes from America, Germany can ship potash and other commodities to other Allied countries, establishing credits there which can be used to pay for food in America. Thus trade could start on an equal basis with Allied countries. The necessity for joint action regarding enemy countries is causing a revival of international economic co-operation which the armi stice threatened to disintegrate. America has favored opening Germany to trade, but has not yet seen the need of international co-operation as strongly as tier allies. America has yielded on tho point of international co-operation, bur has Tier main contention in the reluxing of the trade blockade. $524,191 IN PERSONALTY Appraisal of Abigail G.
