plications will be read with conster-
nation by the American industrial
barons who are buying up German de-
bentures in millions of dollars.
For Germany to exist as an indus
trial power, especially after the war,
it had to confront. more than ever be-
fore, a rather well-established monop-
oily of the field. 1t had not, like
French, British or American industry,
a state power which commanded re-
spect and could open or close mar
ket for its industrialists and finan-
ciers.
.DETORE the war German industry
- could exist and thrive even
against such odds as this: in 1910,
for example, the American General
Electric company with $4,000 en-
ployes made clear profit Of 45,600,-
600 marks on an annual turnover on
products of 2sS,OOO,OOO marks; while
the German Allgemeine Elektrische
.Gesellschaft, with $4,000 workers
made clear profit Of 14,5O0,000 marks
on an annual turnover Of products OF
362, ,000, 900 marks. With all the tout
ed German efficiency, the American
industry was able to extract more
profit per worker than the German.
Unlike the Americans, the German
magnates profits were heidi down by
the existence of strong trade unions
and the relative absence of a carefully
organized speed-up system, or such
a highly preferential tariff as existed
in the United st)tes.
THE desperation OF postwar German
capitalism has changed much of
this. The heavy burden of taxation
has been shifted from the shoulders of
big industry onto those of the work
ers and the petty-bourgeoisie. Tariff
levels are being adjusted to nicely
10 suit the needs of the heavy indus
trialists. The strength of the trade
unions wanes and that of the capi-
talist wakes; for, in "the interests of
the Fatherland and it's industries

be subscribed to. With this in mind,
leading financial and industrial Ger
man journals are forecasting the
final amalgamation Of Siemens with
the A. G. E. into a monopolistic Elec-
'trical Trust, which will take its place
along the side Of the other monopo-
list trusts which have been formed
recently in Germany. The new stock
issue will give new and stronger
sinews to Siemens. With American f.
nancial aid on the one side and high
.ly pitched naturalization" at home,
not all the tariff walls in the world
vii hold back the rise Of q competitor
OF ability and strength to challenge
the hegemony Of the American Gen
eyal Electric company.
TN addition, there is a profound sig
L nffcance. to American workers IN
the naturalization" of German In
dustry. 1t does not take 8 very keen
foresight to see that decisive attempts
must soon be made to force American
workers, IN the electrical industry for
example, to work at the same pace,
under the same rotten conditions. and
for the same wages as the German
workers are being made to work to-
day. That is the manner IN whioh
American capitalism will meet the
competition of a reconstructed Ger
man industry. In this respect tha en-
ample OF the textile industry is al
ready well known.
In the meantime there are Juicy
pickings in loans to Germany now
and American bankers are gobbling
them up as quickly as they are fioated.
A guaranteed 61z per cent. with war
rants for even more, is a tempting
morsel. When the American capital
ist sees this prospect he leaps for 1t.
What. he may not be taking into ac-
count is still another prospect; a po-
tent rival whom he is helping to re-
establish, and whom he will have to
face on more equal terms of combat
in the very near future.
