ST. Louis May 9-Germany is taking

her plan until the reparation is settled,
according to Stephen S. Tuthill, of New

institute, who addressed the opening
session of the third annual convention

ducers that their trade is threatened.
He asserted that at present, Ger
many and Belgium are conducting ne,
gotiations for re-estabishment of their
former trade relations in the metal mar

confirmation in Washington, has OBJ

with headquarters in Hamburg ana
Liege, and with offices in the principal
cities of the world
THE object of this re-establishment
will be to again obtain dominance over
the non-ferrous metal trade, particular
ly zinc.
"One OF the highest officials in Wash
ington has confirmed this and informed
the institute a few days ago that pros
poets for foreign market for American
zinc are not bright"
Prior to the war, Mr.. Tuthill explain.
ed. the metallgeselschaft exerted an
influence in non-ferrous metal reach
ing across the world, controlling tho
output of zinc in Germany, Belgium
France and England.
This. he said. left little market for
the American output.

that negotiations are pending between
Belgium and Germany for the re-es-
tablishment of their old convention. and
that the Belgian zinc producers, who are
in serious financial straits, are eagerly
snatching at the prospects Of the revlv.

again make every effort to reassert the
supremacy she has held before the war
in non-ferrous metals.
1T means mat Americans will have
no hope Of selling zinc in foreign mar.
