1t is a certainty that our imports

dominate the price.

government subsidies are being
largely met by the emission OF paper
money, and unless all our economic
experience is to go by the board'
this cannot continue indefinitely.
There are distinct signs in foreign
commercial organization of mill
fancy which may call for some
remedy on our side. Prior to the
war there was a tendency toward
consolidated action amongst Euro
pean exporters; that is. manufac-
turing pools for joint export, ana
such combinations were able to IN
aueurate competitive processes
which could not pe met by individ-
ualistic export business, and which
often enough could eNtinguish even
our domestic industry.
The German export cartel was the
most highly developed form OF thls
system, but that system also showed
signs of development in other couh- :
tries. Since the war this type OF
for exports abroad has
directly and indirectly had turthef
growth. Our Webb-Pomerene law Is
not an answer to this type OF gov
ernmentally encouraged and stimu-
lated combination.
