The measure stipulates that only

GERMANY BECOMING
MORE DEMOCRAT
By The Associated Press

Stocl1h holm, Jan. 16-Swedish gov
crnment agencies are trying desperata-
" 10 find some methods 70 stop the
dumping of German goods III Swedish
markets.
There las been an enormous impor-
tation from Germany, at prices which
Swedish manufa cturers have been un-
able to meet owing to the fact that the
German workers were paid in deprecia-
ted currency.
One OF the method suggested for
reducing this German competition was
that special import duties be imposos'
upon goods coming from countries with
deprecated currency. A special tariff
commission investigated this subject
but advised against the adoption OF
such a measure.
The commission, however. recommen-
ded that the Riksdag pass a bill enab-
ling the government to adopt pro'ec-
tive measures against dumping by
means of deprecated currency, provtc-
ed that these measures be approved by
an interna tional agreement.
