German Companies
Under Neutral Names

Then there is the system of form
ing new companies, under neutral
names, to push German trade. Legal
proof against most of these is lack
ing, but suspicion is strong. To
illustrate, there is the case of a big
Scandinavian company, established
in 1916. Though it has a capital of
only a few million kronen, it has
already established connections with
somewhere between fifty and a hun
dred cOncerns-the exact number is
not known-all over the world, in
cluding America and the Allied coun-
tries. The plan is to put capital into
exporting and importing houses
abroad and then take over control
of their contracts. There are indj-
cations that the idea is not to buy
control of the firms, but to put in
Just enough money to carry them
through some pinch, and get an in
fuence out of all proportion to the
investment. This influence, of course,
will be used to push those goods in
which the company is interested.
This company has never been on
the enemy trading list, though a
previous concern organized by the
same men was blacklsted. By Au-
gust /, 1918, it was estimated that
the total capital Of the firms with
which it was affiliated was close
to hundred million kronen. 1t

which before the war was the GEN.

the country and is suspected of being
part of a German trust.
There are several other concerns
under similar suspicion. Of course,

Neutrols Organise
In Their O,cn Defence

Germany's infiltration of the neu-
trail countries to establish bases
fer her commercial war has already
caused defensive action from the
business men in those countries.
They fear that as the world comes
to learn of the tricks resentment
will fall on the genuine neutrals,
and that to avoid buying German
goods the world will avoid all that
comes from the countries where the
Germans operates:
An example of this defensive Or
ganization is the Syndicat pour
PExportation Suisse, which has
adopted a collective trademark to
go on all Swiss goods, and has
formed an elaborate organization
to make sure that the mark does
not go ON any German goods. One
of the most dangerous of the Ger
man schemes is to have the goods
made in Germany, all except the
assembling or finishing, and then to
have the final process in the neutral
country, this process to include the
putting on of a neutral trademark.
To meet this the s. P. E. S. has
ruled that its mark can be used
only when two-thirds of the capital
of the company is Swiss, and the
goods have been entirely made in
Switzerland by Swiss workmen.
The German penetration has al
ready covered the four northern
neutrals, Holland, Denmark, Nor
New-York tribune., 1919-05-01
Neutral Trademarks
Bought or Stolen

The game Of buying trademarks
has gone on merrily. In Holland
they are constantly registering both
trademarks and labels, which look
like neutral marks. A report from
Denmark tells Of similar work there,
where the Germans own the rights
to the use Of certain Danish lanes.
Another report states that goods are
already stored in Scandinavia for cx-
port under false trademarks.
In particular, Germany is to-day
manufacturing from American pat
ents such things as typewriters, sew
ing machines, adding machines and
other distinctively American articles,
and she 10 putting them out under
American trademarks, which she

Official Reports
Sho,o Big Campaign

The extent Of the German activi-
ties along these lines is startling
when taken in connection with the
pleas of bankruptcy which come
from Berlin. Here are a few ex
cerpts from official reports:
Montreux, Switzerland. -
The Germans are buying up bank
rupt Swiss concerns and running
them under the original Swiss
names. They have got the trade.
of this country and are likely to
dications that Germany any has as been en-
very active in her attempts to
establish close post-bellum rela-
tions with the Allies through
Switzerland. In all
these activities Germans appear
have unlimited capital"
"Copenhagen-The Germans are
sly and shrewd. Long ago they
made US a German vassal. Gold
stolen in Belgium and Russia has
smoothed the way. They have
erected meat factories, milk fac
tories and frozen fish factories, so
that citizens here can for DAYS and
days not get a pound of meat or a
fish, and only on rare occasions
pint of milk. Branch factories
of the great industrial works in
Hunland are built here, so that
they will turn out Danish prod
ucts' to avoid suspicious. They are
buying up shares everywhere and
offering large rewards to those
shipowners who will loan them
their ships to sail under the Dan
ish flag, but with German officers
aboard"
These examples might be extended
indefinitely. Germans have bought
an island near Copenhagen for a
shipyard. They are buying up the
Dutch river craft They are build
ing textile plants throughout Switz-
erland, and equipping some of them
with machinery stolen from Belgium
SHINES & Co., of Hamburg, are re-
ported behind a big new shipbuild-
ing plant at Landskwina, Sweden.
There have been indications that
even in America recent attempt to
buy up control of a big neutral
steamer line was backed by German
money.

Big Drive Made
For Shipping

The German effort to get control
of neutral shipping, both for war
and postwar use, has been tremen-
dous, and till the signing of the
armistice met with great success.
Her method was to supply to the
shipyards of adjoining neutrals ma
terial which they had to have for
the repair or construction of ships,
but she put heavy conditions on the
ships so constructed or repaired.
Here, for instance, are the terms on
which she sold materials to a GER
tain neutral yard, the terms to ap-
ply to all vessels either built or re-
paired
The ship not to be used while
Germany is at war.
Germany to be informed of any
change in the name or build of
the ship.
Germany to have the right to
purchase the vessel at any time
within four years of the close of
the war.
Any violation of the conditions
to be punishable by fine of 500
kronen per ton of the ship.
Germany must approve any sale
of the vessel.
German courts must decide all
issues concerning it.
Any purchaser must accept
these terms.
Three yards are known to have
accepted these terms. Another
is suspected.
This scheme, however, has been
partly taken care Of In the first
armistice agreement the Allies took
pains to attack it instantly. Para
graph 80 provides:
"The German government will
notify the neutral governments
of the world, and particularly the
governments Of Norway, Sweden,
Denmark and Holland, that all
restrictions placed on the trading
of their vessels with the Allied
and associated countries, whether
by the German government or by
German private interests, and
whether in return for specific con-
cessions, such as export Of ship
building materials or not, are
immediately cancelled."
New-York tribune., 1919-05-01
By Stanley Frost

Herzog, the prophet of the New
Prussian Piracy, lays down among
others these rules for tricking the
world
The reopening of export rela-
tionships with once hostile coun-
tries must take place through neu-
trails, instead of through direct
representatives as in the past.
Neutral trading journals repre-
sent an effective means for pro-
noting the German manufactur-
ing export trade.
Denationalization of goods should
not be avoided.
German exporters must expect
that, for long time after the
war, German exports will be out
lawed among our present enemies.
The intrinsic quality of
exported goods must be typically
German; their external garb, for
better or for worse, will have to
be nonymous-neutral.
This scheme, in full, is now being
put into effect, as official reports to
our government show. Germany is
Buying control of neutral concerns
of all kinds.
Organizing new concerns, under
neutral colors.
Buying, pirating or initiating neu-
trail or Allied trademarks and labels.
Using neutral camouAage to cover
her agents.
Under all this neutral coloring is
always the German power, and Ger
many is taking the greatest pains
to see that the camoufage shall not
weaken her control in any way. At
recent trial of three Germans in
Bergen, Norway, they testified that
failure to obey the orders from Ber-
lin, in no matter what part Of the
world they might be, and even if
they were ordered to commit crime,
meant certain death. Germany re-
Gently tried for treason Germans
who held stock in a neutral concern,
the Fagersta Bruks Alb, because
they could not prevent the neutral
managers of that concern from trad
ing with the Allies. Germany holds
her grip tight.
