the subject has appeared in the Neue

available than before the war If.
he says, il Is possible 10 build l.
600, 600 tons in addition to the usual
output OF about 100000 tons, the
shortage will be overcome in about
FIVE years. He thinks that possibly
three years may be sufficient If the
purchasing power of the nations is
| sufficiently reduced to lessen the de
mand for Injuries.
The real way TO overcome the diff
! ficulties will, he thinks be found,
not so much in state interference as
in the establishment Of a sort of
clearing house 20 which all owners
would have 10 belong and which
would direct and control all freights.
