THE TRUMBULI. COMPANY AND
 GERMANY

The United States is forgetting all too quickly it's experiences during the war, and the trademark Made in Germany may soon become a com mon sight on the toys and tools and knick-knacks in use in this country. handles miscellaneous goods, who has not been visited lately by sales men with articles that have been made in Germany and imported to this country very recently. The read CT may be surprised at this, but in quiries will verify the truth of the statement We visualize a Germany that is in need of a government, that is facing economic failure and that has scarcely the production facilities to take care of it's own needs, and, with pity in our all too soft hearts, ignore the moving spirit of the Hun race for generations, a spirit which has not yet been obliterated. The cry of "Deutschland Uber Allies" has loI oeSi loISOCleH, the cause Ol militarism has been lost but econ omic warfare has again opened.
 It is refreshing in this light to read of the decision of the Trumbulr company of Plainville, which has an nounced through it's factory publica- tion that it does not intend to trade with Germany, going or coming, buy ing or selling. We wonder how many will echo this sentiment
 Of course, the argument is ad- vanced that Germany will not be able to pay her indemnities if the world refuses to trade with her, that she will be unable to gather enough money to purchase goods over the international counter unless she is al- lowed to sell, also, over the same counter. The Trumbull company says that that is a joke, that she can pay, and implies with a grin. If she can't we don't care.' It is a fact that trade must be kept at balance, that a nation must sell as well as buy, if she wishes to keep her place a question as to how much the American people care whether Ger many may keep this place or not. If the former enemy floods our mar kets with goods produced at low cost by cheap workmen, or workmen who are able to get the highest ef- ficiency out of a plant, thereby low ering the production cost, the Ger man indemnity will be paid out of the pockets of Americans, through loss in the sale of their own goods is able to do this it is time that we adopted a boycott and made her pay herself. On the other hand, we have to be sure of collecting for such and if we do not buy of her she will be eventually unable to pay, even if she has great amount of money just at present.
 It resolves itself, finally, into the question of the individual and what he wishes to do with the enemy. Pro- viding the American public turns it's back on the German made article there is no use of asking an mbargo Germany will not be able to sell and will not ship any more to us. We have a sneaking feeling that the at titude of most of us will be the same as the one which the Plainville plant has adopted, that the familiar trade mark Made in Germany will be the cause for rejection of certain articles Why not? There are few of us but
