by surprise because the world did
not believe what the German leaders
intellectual, political and COM
mercial -- said. Pan-Germanism,
world conquest, even the rape Of
Belgium, had been discussed and
advocated by men to whom Germany
looked up and who were recognized
spokesmen. In the same way the
coming campaign for world dominion
through commerce is as frankly
avowed.
Its best, most efficient and most
kultured exposition has been given
to us in little book by S. Herzog,
one of the greatest of German con-
sulting engineers and a man easily
fit to rank in his own line with
Bernhard. This book obviously was
not intended for circulation outside
Germany, but copy has been
secured, translated into English and
published by Doubleday, Page e.
Co. Herzog's title is "The Future
Of German Industrial Exports"

Old Dishonesty
Now Even Worse

The old dishonesty is there
worse, if anything.
Zone fact seems to be established
by all witnesses" Simonds reports.
Germany is morally bank
rupt. The German dishonesty which
showed itself in lying and stealing
on a grand scale during the war is
now become chronic in the smallest
circumstances of life"
Germany's own economic ma
chinery is not only intact--it has
been strengthened during the war.
1t is in far better condition to-day
than that cf any other country, ex-
cept possibly England and America.
1t has suffered nothing from war
fare. 1t has been reinforced by the
machines looted from Poland,
France and Belgium, while in all
the country where the German
hordes have been there has been de-
struction that has been aimed
solely at economic crippling Of a
future competitor. Germany's war
debt is to her own people, and can
be repudiated if she wishes. In
spite of the losses Of war, she has
a tremendous force Of skilled labor
She has been gathering vast stores
Of raw materials. In. Switzerland

Germany Inherently
A Dishonest Nation

deception and fraud
form the background Of their most
important international relations
and undertakings. They have made
Of Germany an inherently dishonest
nation.
"Now another conception comes
out Of the heart Of Germany, slhat
threatens the commercial interests
of unsuspecting nations -- carefully
thought out, with characteristic Ger
man thoroughness, openly advocat-
ing the breaking down Of all bust
neSs ethics, relying upon trickery
and circumvention to gain their end.
This promises to stop at nothing,
from national dumping of goods to
crush competition, to false labels and
disguise of the origin and the break
ing of contracts that prove disad-
vantageous to the German.
"I-et the manufacturing and bank
ing interests and the laboring and
professional classes of all nations be
warned in time to devise antidotes
and counter attacks to the Machi-
avellian devices Of a class gone mad
with lust of conquest, deliberately
plotting to fatten itself on the life
blood of other nations even after the

age had covered the globe and dump
ing as trade weapon instead Of a
relief for home congestion had be-
come scientifically controlled prac-
tice. Already the German tentacIes
were reaching out into other nations
and the careful strategic location of
these investments has been an al
most stunning surprise to the men
who have been digging them out
since the war. Already the whole
German commercial machine was
being organized to support each in
dividual export scheme with money,
advantages and power.
A single instance of this will show
how the whole thing worked-and
this was before the war. When
America put new tariff on a Ger
man product the German govern
ment would grant rebates on the
freight rates, which would offset the
tariff, and let the German stuffs
come on equality or better, usually,
into the American market. Actual
premiums, or designedly profitable
government contracts, were provided
in other cases. Always, Germany
was ready to use her power and
wealth as whole to permit any
particular German product to over
run all barriers and meet the for
eign product in it's home market at
price that would crush competition
until in the end the German product,
unopposed, could be sold at tre-
mendous profit.
So successful had this been that
when the war opened it is esti-
mated that Germany had invest
ments totalling $9,0O0,00O,OOO in
foreign countries, and this mostly in
strategic positions and strategic in
dustries, rather than merely in divi-
dend gathering securities. She con-
trolled the dyes and chemicals of the
world, she controlled the whole metal
industry, except for iron and a few
American metal companies, and was
stretching out for these. She con-
trolled potash, an indispensable fer
tilizer. She had the best optical
glass and surgical Instruments. She
was using her scientists as spies and
even planting industries solely for
espionage purposes. She was cut
ting into the textile business, begin
ming with wool and lace. The
machine was working and was hav-
! ing O huge Success.
New-York tribune., 1919-04-27
Hundreds of Millions
Still UnSeized Here

Thus to Americans in particular
IS the German menace important.
since we seem singled out for the
first attack. America has seized
some three-quarters of O. billion op
German property, but an amount
perhaps as great has not been
seized. Mr.. Garvan is confident that
raost of the active capital has been
taken in, but he has been unable to
touch the millions invested in
stocks, for the fact that dividends
have not been called for on these
millions is not legal proof of enemy
ownership. Moreover, there is
much German property he has been
unable to get, as under the law
nothing could be done against a
German subject here who was not
caught in an overt act. Nor has
he been able wholly to drive out the
American agents Of the German oc.
topus. Hampered by a hastily made
law, with holes in it that have had
to be plugged as he went along,
hampered by lack Of funds and Of
trained men to do the exceedingly
difficult and technical work Of
searching out the German funds, he
and A. Mitchell Palmer. his pre-.
decessor, have accomplished much.
probably more than many men who
voted for the law thought they
could. They have supplemented ID
with individual initiative and dar.
ing.

Ger1nany's Actions
Fit Into the Plan

Treaties are to be made and
broken at will. The most intensive
training is to be provided. Genius
of all. kinds is to be drafted and
possessors Of trade secrets are to
live in virtual Imprisonment.
Every state power, the tariff, gov
ernment patronage, diplomacy, law,
financial and railroad control, is to
be used in any possible way.
AS with Bernhardi's prophecies of
rapine, so with this - the German
acts agree with theory. Much of
the Herzog machine had been con-
structcd before the war and con-
slant growth was going on. Already
the German commercial threat had
become the marvel of the business
world. Already commercial espion-
New-York tribune., 1919-04-27

Before the war the German For
eign Office in the Wilhelmstrassc was
the. real centre Of German foreign
trade. 1t is SO to-day, and from it
arc coming the diplomacy and prop
aganda that can best serve Germany
for her commercial campaign. To
save her ships, to save her colonies,
to save her coal and iron fields, to
keep from having to return the ma
chinery stolen from Belgium and
France and Poland, to get assurance
Of raw materials-this has been the
German diplomacy through the last
few months. Commercial, every line
of it.
Behind the camoufage the same
German spirit shows. "You cannot
expect the Germans to go to bed
monarchists and wake up repub-
licans," said famous liberal Vienna
editor recently. "The old govern
ment is still working" said Kurt
Eisner, a real Socialist, shortly be-
fore he was murdered. "The old
gang remains in power" writes
Frank II. Simonds. "The leaders of
the National Assembly are the men
who echoed and reechoed the mill
taristic ideas during four years of
war. Bureaucracy is not changed.
1t continues to function, it's sympa-
thies are all with the old order"
New-York tribune., 1919-04-27
Has New Alliance
Against the World

The alignment is of Germany,
with such of Russia and South
eastern Europe as she and her Boil
ghevik friends and hirelings can
control against the world.
The purpose is to win for Ger
many, by commercial, industrial
and economic aggression, the world
supremacy that she could not win
by arms, and incidentally to make
the nations that defeated her pay
the indemnities she owes the world.
The strategy is to place COM
paratively small funds in positions
Of power in the business life Of
other nations, and from this lever
age TO reap further power and
enormous profits.
The tactics are the same that
have shocked and reyolted the
world for the last five years
broken faith, deceit, propaganda,
espionage, every kind Of dishonesty
and indecency, combined with such
scientific organization as will throw
the whole power of the entire Ger
man world against any weak spot
that her leaders may detect, and
such diplomacy as will prevent the
world from rallying adequate force
at that spot to resist her.
New-York tribune., 1919-04-27
To CHnCh the
Dye Industry

In the dye industry, key to the
great textile trade, and, with its by
products, to the whole drug trade
and the basis Of explosives and Of
war itself, both Britain and Amer
lea have made great strides. In
these the elimination Of the German
agents has been far from complete,
but Francis P. Garvan, United
States Alien Property Custodian,
has devised plan for pooling the
patents seized from the Germans
which should give America great
degree Of protection during the
years needed to get our industry on
it's feet. With bar against Ger
; man imports, which he is trying to
get, it Is believed that America can
be made safe on this line.
In regard to optical glass, recent
inventions in America have made it
certain that this country can pro-
duce world supply, if the industry
again can be given chance to de-
velop itself.
Much Of the German property
has escaped seizure by being trans
ferred to neutrals, who hold it as
'cloaks" for the German owners.
A plan has been formed for an in
ter-Allied agreement to impose so
heavy tax on the retransfer of
these properties as to cripple them
seriously, or else force the Germans
to continue doing business in a
roundabout and costly way.
1t has been found that by re-
strictions on ship fuel and sup pplies
-"bunker licenses"-all shipping
can be brought under almost full
control of any agreement made be-
tween America and Great Britain.
This can be used to prevent any re-
vival Of the German merchant ma
rine. England has under discussion
the adoption Of this scheme by her
self, which she could use single
handed to bar Germany from the
Orient and from all but the Medi-
terranean coast of Africa.
Vast amounts of information
have been gathered by the intelli-

Conspiracy of Fraud,
Declares Hoover

An introduction for this was writ
ten by Herbert G. Hoover, Vernon
Kellogg and Frederic C. Walcott,
which summarizes startlingly the
opinion of these men on the German
menace:
If there is anything to be gained
by being honest, let us be honest; if
it is necessary to deceive, let US de-
ceive.' Thus wrote Frederick the
Great jim the middle of the eighteenth
century-the man who laid the foun-
dation for pan-Germanism, which
this world war was expected to
achieve. Not content with dominion
by force Of arms, we find Germany
plotting for commercial supremacy
with that insolent disregard of the
rights Of others and that resort to
deception that have characterized all
her policies since Frederick the
Greats reign. Like all of
Germany's plans affecting other
nations, the entire conception de-
pends upon deceit and supcrselfsh-
ness; not one word touching upon
reciprocity, not one word in recog-
milton Of any international obliga-
tions.
'Tt was obviously written exclu-
sively for home consumption and not
intended for those outside the iron
circle. 1t should be warning to US.
We should study it with care and
keep our eyes and ears alert for
other warnings Of the sort, that in
peace we may be prepared to meet
this design Of commercial rapine,
this crushing Of the Industries of
other countries.

Protection Needed

They have assured America time.

underground those tentaclcs Of the
octopus which they have not lopped
off. But no work of theirs, or Of anv
other men, can protect America for
long, nor protect her entirely. even
in the present.
The German machine is ready and
at work, its spies and propagandists
are busy. Secrecy will be one of its
chief weapons. It's agents and its
goods will come to US under all kinds
of disguises and with all kinds of
suave plans and attractive induce
ments. Often the most deadly hook
will be baited with immediate gain
for US. The trade wars general
staff, watching in Berlin, will seize
every loophole in our laws, will evade
every barrier that can be evaded hv

their wedges with tremendous blows.
