Germany Forming
More Combines
For Protection:
Trade Associations Increase:
Fear of Foreign Control
Alleged as Cause of New
Preferred Stock Issues

Extension of the community Of in
terest idea for protective purposes con-
tinues to be feature of German trade
development. This is accompanied by
an increase in the number of German
commercial organizations formed prin-
ciDally with view to facilitating the
supply of raw materials, organizing
sales distribution. regulating prices and
opening up new markets.
Among the new organizations Of this
sort are a national association of the
German aluminium industry, founded
at Eisenach; an association comprising
practically all the soap factories in
central Germany, and another organ"
ization, founded at Weimar, by the
central German trade, industry, .agri-
culture and craft interests.
The cooperative movement is also re-
ported to be gaining ground in Ger
many. The principal watch-g glass fac
TOTES having been lost by the cession
of Alsace, the German watchmakcrs
guilds have established a watch-glass
ia tory at Teuchern, near Halle, and
will start operations at once. A cut
lery PLAN is being established on a CO.
operative basis at Solingen, financed to
large extent by the Socialist CO.
operative societies of the district.
One feature of postwar develop
ments has been the issue by the larger
German industrial concerns of pre-
ferred stock with multiple voting
power. The plea has been made that
! this action is due to fear of foreign
control. 1t is stated, however, that, al
though large amounts of indus;ria
stocks and bonds have been acquil ed
by foreign groups, the chief reason fol
the issues of preferred stocks with six
fold to fifteenfold voting power is the
threat. of control by German trusts
| Exploitation on the part of foreign
groups is stated to have been confined
largely to the oil, oleomargarine and
chocolate industries. An additional at
tempt is now reported in the match in
dustry. The Swedish match manufae.
Iturers, aided by the favorable ex-
change, are said to be making their in
iuence felt, and by the acquisition of
shares to be strengthening their hold on
the worlds markets. A leading German
match works at Cassel, which recently
acquired other factories at Coswig
AIKEN and Danzig, is now said to be
CONTROLLED by a Swedish group. In this
connection it is noted that bill is be-
ing drafted for the establishment Of a
German state match monopoly.
Reports from France state that but
ton and glove manufacturers in per-
tlcuiar are now feeling the pinch OF
German competition. As a result the
button manufacturers have reduced
prices by % per cent. In the Grenoble
glove industry sales are reported to
have come to standstill. No new
orders, it is stated, are being received
from South America, Norway. Den
mark, Switzerland, Australia, Canada
Great Britain or the United States
The main trouble is the high cost OF
skins, and if there is no improvement
an extensive shutdown is expected.

McAdoo Denies He
Will Run Mexican
Railroad System
Returned From Southern Re-
public, He SeesCreatHope
of Prosperity Under Obre-
gon; Avoids Political Talk

William &. McAdoo, just returned
from Il trip to Mexico, denied yesterday
published reports that he was to take
charge OF the Mexican railway sys-
tenn. In making this denial Mr.. Nc
Adoo laughingly remarked that his job
Of practicing law in New York was q
big enough one to demand all his at
tention.
The ex-Secretary of the Treasury
and Director General of Railroads de-
clared that the prospect of a clean,
efficient and able government under
President Obreg6n is better than at
any time since the revolution began
ten years ago.
GAS went through the country fr, m
Ell Paso to Mexico City and back to
Laredo, Tex, there was evidence on
every hand" he said, "of peaceful con-
ditions and of revving activity among
the people. had the opportunity Of
talking with President Obreg6n at
length. Contrary to reports I found
him in excellent physical condition
He struck me as man Of fine common
sense, great sincerity and full comIre-
hension of the serious problems cen
fronting Mexico.
Mexico is country of vast unde-
veloped natural resources. She is alb
solutely dependent on foreign capital
for their development, which is essen
tial to the progress and prosperity Of
her people. The only available market
for capital and credit is the United
States.
Mexican statesmen must, therefore,
see that the true interests of Mexico
are friendship and good understanding
with the United States and that the
controversies that have arisen betwe en-
the two countries over American rights
in Mexico must be promptly and salts
factorily adjusted so that American
capital will be assured the safety and
gage in large way in Mexican enter
prises. Of course, rehabilitation of
Mexico's credit is vital. This cannot
be accomplished until there is prompt
recognition and adjustment Of MeXico's
international obligations.
II think that President Obreg6n and
his colleagues are determined to estab-
lish new era of peace, order and
prosperity in Mexico"
Mr.. McAdoo was asked whether he
was going to attend the conference
called by Chairman George White of
the Democratic National Committee;
whether he favored speedy reorgan-
ization of the Democratic organization
whether he favored inviting Colonel
William j. Bryan into conferences, and
whether, If asked, his services were al
the disposal Of President-elect Harding
To which questions he replied:
II am not at this time ready to dis.
| cuss politics."
