German government, the first by an
agreement covering several months
whereby customs dues viii be paid

But the third. which. according TO
the view Of the German experts. is
OF no less Importance, is still pend

cause we need the money. But
what Is happening is that foreign
traders are taking away articles of

worse, they are buying up our
