Special Cablegram to The Star.
BERLIN. February 13.-The German
government, which is already the most
socialistic administration in Europe, has
opened up a new line of business, namely.
that of diamond dealing. proclamation
printed in the official gazette announced
that all diamonds found in German
southwest Africa must be handed over
to the colonial authorities, which will
sell them to the best advantage entirely
at their own discretion, and after deduct
ing a third of the price as a tax and
moderate percentage to defray trading
expenses will pay the residue to the
mining companies.
The colonial Office is empowered fur
Their to withhold diamonds from the mar
ket with the object of preventing a de-
preciation of prices. CONFIRMATION of
the law involves Imprisonment not eN-
ceeding the duration of the year. togeth-
er with a fine up to $4,000 and conhs-
cation of the contraband stones.
Further, it is officially notified that all
mining concerns, with the exception of
that which has passed into Cape Colo
NAL hands, and two small groups. have
formed themselves into company which
is being financed by syndicate, 1nclud-
ing all the principal German banks, with
a capital of 100000 Both the manage
ment and the shareholders, it is stipu-
lated, must be German subjects This
amalgamation is said to involve 80 per
cent of the diamondiferous area SO far
discovered
1t is proposed by the government to
establish a diamond market in Berlin.
Negotiations are proceeding with Ger
man poHshers, and it will not be neces-
sary to go outside Germany to have
the stones ground, so that the whole
trade can be retained in this country.
This Is what comes of having an Amer
icanized bank director as colonial secre-
tary.
