GERMANS FIGHT
u. S. MACHINES
Appeal to Government fol-
Protection Against Ameri-
can Manufacturers.

BERLIN. July 1S.-German man
ufacturers of adding machines are
appealing TO the government for as
sistance in their fight to prevent the
importation Of American-m made ma
chimes which they claim now are
superfuous, as the German indus
try is capable of supplying the home
demand.
Action has been precipitated by
the application Of a well known
American firm through it's Berlin
branch for permission 10 import
1. OO7 adding machines to meet the
German demand until the American
firm has completed its local branch
factory.
The German manufacturers have
addressed a joint appeal TO the min
iSJTy Of economies demanding fur
Their enforcement OF the existing i'm
port embargo and requesting that
wholesome importation should be
prohibited.
The Norwaerts declares that,
while the German working man
does not desire to be placed under
the domination of American capital.
tho present action by the German
makers is undignifed and not in
keeping with the German efficiency
which has always been able to as
sert itself in the competitive mar
kets even when pitted against Amer
lean enterprise.
