MAKE COMPLAINT
AGAINST GERMAN
BUSINESS DEALS

Chrfstianfa, July. 16.-Norwegian
business men have protested to the
Berlin Government against alleged
trickery Of German concerns whose
failure to deliver to Norwegians
goods bought and paid for started Of
fetal and unofficial inquiries which
led the Norwegians to believe ~ de-
linquencies were deliberate.
Commercial intercourse boeWeen
Norway and Germany have been
steadily increasing, due to the low
exchange rate on Germany money,
until recently when number Of Nor
wegian concerns were notified by the
Germans with whom they had placed
large orders that the merchandise
could not be delivered because "the
government had placed special ex-
port taxes which prohibited ex3Jorta-
ton at the prices at which the goods
had been sold.'
The Germans are said to have de-
manded additional sums ranging from
SO to 100 per cent of the prices they
hadiTquoted before they would fulfil
their Contracts.
T. The Yorwegians frequently were
| compelled to pay the additional sums,
having contracted to sell elsewhere
| the German products. However,
complaints that the Germans were
| using this method to evade the I'M
| favorable rate of exchange became so
| frequent that Norwegian commercial
| organizations made official represen-
tations to Berlin, and it is said the
| Berlin government issued a statement
| that official cognizance would be TAX
| en- of sharp practices by German
| business men in their international
| dealings. The government denied the
| export taxes complained of had been
| levied, or that other restrictions had
| been placed on the export trade.
| Newspapers here for several weeks
/ have carried editorial criticisms Of
| German business methods since the
war, and several trade papers have
declared the Germans eventually must
feel keenly the effect of Commercial
| trickery" they are alleged to have
| practiced.
There also is widespread complaint
| against German life insurance COM
panies operating in Norway and the
Norwegian foreign Office has been Pc
| titioned to protect policy holders who
| it Is charged, have been paid in
| marks when the policies call for pay
ment in kroner. Hundreds of thous-
ands of. German life insurance poll
cies are held here, especially among
| farmers.
In this connection it is pointed out
that whereas $4,000 kroner, an aver
age life insurance policy, before the
war equalled $4,000 marks, the rate
Of exchange now made such a pol
icy worth 375,000 marks.
