has urged the imperial government 10 prevent the
further inroads OF American manufa cturers upon
their special branches. 1t is claimed that in the
first quarter OF the year the import Of tools had
more than doubled. having increased from 245 tons
to 626 tons, and that in the second quarter the in
crease threatens to become larger. Special
emphasis is laid the fact that the United States

machines, against the German tariff OF per cent.
and they insist that German machines in no
wise inferior TO the American and that there is no
need whatever for the Introduction OF American
machines and tools into Germany.
