BRITISH MONOPOLYR
GERMANY STIRS FRANCE
Merchants Charge Great Britain
With Bad Faith In Seizing
,.l Trade Channels.

PARIS. May 9.-Bitter feeling has
been aroused among French mer-
chants by the discovery that Great
Britain has obtained a virtual mo-
nopoly OF the products OF German
factories.
The French merchants charge the
British with bad faith toward their
allies and the United States in that
they have made clAndestine contracts
with German manufacturers whereby
they are exporting great quantities
OF raw materials 10 Germeny and are
taking manufactured articles instead
OF money in payment. Frenchmen
who have tried to buy goods across
the Rhine say that in most instances
the German manufacturers ap-
preached declare their plants are tied
up for lengthy periods by contracts
with British merchants.
Official France Is gravely concerned.
In the German economic situation
these Investigations have revealed.
especially as Germany Is getting iron
ore from Sweden under almost SINH
lar arrangement. and is therefore al
most entirely independent of France
for raw materials. II is believed Ger
many will use this situation TO try 70
force concessions in the Versailles
treaty, terms. This latter question
will be one OF the first to be raised at,

HOOVER OUT OF RACE,
BRITISH PAPERS SAY
Believe Defeat In California Has
Snuffed Out All Chances of
Nomination.

LONDON, May e.-The consensus
OF leading English newspapers appears
to. be that Herbert Hoover,s over
whelming defeat in the California
primaries has snufred out all chances
for him to, be nominated, The esn-
chester Guardians correspondent at
New York cables:
ION the basis OF all ordinary caicu-
lations the California vote finally
eliminates Mr., Hoover as a political
possibility.
1.-THE Hoover fiasco Is the result OF
bad, advice and bad political judgment
He threw away certain nominal ion
and almost equally certain election
to the Presidency, by his premature
partisanship." 49,. -
BY this the, correspondent means
that Hoover made fatal. tactical
mistake by turning his back on the

ing he would run on the straight Re-
