tin ore have recently been discovered IN
Nigeria. Another of the more recently
developed industries in Nigeria is the

Restrict Pro-
duction After Embargo :
on Shipments
u. S. Buyers Give Up
Americans Declare Country
Will Lose This Market
After the War

LCoTespontence O, The Associated Press
Stockholm. June 23.-Although Ameri-
can newspapers are in great need of
news-print paper, not less than 100000
tons of wood-pulp is stored at Swedish
ports awaiting sale or shipment, and
Swedish wood-pulp manufacturers have
agreed to restrict production one-third.
This means the closing of their mills
for four months. Much Of the pulp held
in storage has! been bought and paid
for by British dealers, but cannot be
delivered owing to the Swedish en-
barge on shipments OF wood-pulp TO
that country.
American buyers who have been here
endeavoring 10 purchase the surplus
of the Swedish mills have abandoned
the effort, and all but one of them have
returned 10 the United States. The one
buyer still here says he is doing no
business and doubts whether he will
be able 70 do any.
This is due TO an extreme advance
in the price Of woodpulp, which has in
creased in some cases TO the equiva-
lent of s945O a ton, against a normal
pr-ce of about $3.50 at the mills. An
other reason is that the Swedish gov
eminent has demanded guarantee
from every exporter that the pulp
shipped out Of Sweden would be used
only in the country Of original desti-
nation.
Deposit Is Required
A deposit tf about $50 a ton was re-
ouired. this 20 be forfeited If any OF
the pulp found its way into another
country. This was the final straw
that broke the back of the Americans
who were trying to do business with
Swedish pulp-makers.
There is no use OF trying to DO any
more business under. present condl-
tions. and | am going home" declared
one foreign buyer for large Ameri-
can wood-pulp concern. 81 hazard the

that Public, who didn't know much
about machinery, would get disgusted
with the treadmill when he found that
it didn't work properly and would buy
a few of Agitator's tools to smash 1t up
with, for Public didn't have much pa
tience in those days. So Agitator got
crowbar and worked industriously
around the treadmill for several min
utes, after which he brushed off his
clothes and went back to his hardware
store to wait for business.
A few minutes later Public returned
from lunch with bad attack of ind!-
gestion and a crouch against mules
and treadmills in general. His Ill tenn
per was increased by Samson's inabili,
ty to turn the treadmill at the accus,
toned rate Of speed Poor Samson
puffed and struggled, and manifested
all the other distressing symptoms OF
hard work, but he couldn't keep up to
time. Public belabored him until bis
arm was tired, and then, scratching
his head, he mused irritably.
II wonder what ails that mule, any
how? He certainly gets enough to eat.
I've been feeding him right along on a
good rich diet of profits"

Germany has never lost an op-
portuhity to strangle the potash
industry in this country in its in
fancy, by price-wrecking. The
Diamond Soda Works at Milwau-
kee suffered this fate in 1907, and
the Niagara Alkali Co. was badly
hurt in 1913. As the general
manager of the Niagara Company
wisely said: "Wker. an American
industry is threatened with eX-
tinction by the competition of
manufacturers working und er
the wing of a government which
has passed laws forcing that A
merican industry to pay nearly
double for its raw material, it is
maniiestly proper that the article
manufactured from this raw ma
terial should be made to pay its
Just revenue to the United States
government and at the same time
afford Incidental protection TO the
American industry" Whether
the Alsatian deposits remain in
the hands of Germany, or revert
to France, the TACT remains thal
the war has made it possible ard
imperative that we develop our
own sources of supply; we are do
ing so. and through the medium
of a protective tariff this indus
try. so important to art, science,
and agriculture, should be assur-
ed a solid foundation in the Uni
ted States.
