Italy Places Heavy
Penalty on U. S. Tire

italy, like most nations, wants its
citizens and all who dwell within its
confines to use Italian-made products
Heavy penalties are placed on the use
of foreign goods, so that the consumer
Is generally forced to choose q native
product, however inferior, because of
expense.
The dif1culty met with by an Ameri-
can manufacturer seeking to penetrate
the Italian market Is illustrated In the
case OF an American bicycle brought to
Rome by an American boy Of Z, whose
father Is in business here.
One OF the tires became punctured
No Rome bicycle shop was able to re-
pair this American tire, nor did any
italian store have tire which fitted the
bicycle. As a last resort q tire was or
dered from the Chicago manufacturer.
After three months the tire reached
Italy, but the Americans wished they
had bought a new bicycle instead.
The customs house charges and the
fees OF the company handling the ship
ment of the little package weighing q
few pounds amounted to $10.35 or ap-
proximately ten and one-hah times the
cost Of the tire itself. Needless to say
the market for American bicycles In
Italy is limited.

lands are now dependent upon foreign
sources.
In this connection, of course, the
problem has q vital interest for some
of the major items of our export trade,
notably cotton, tobacco and cereals. Re
doubled efforts are now being made by
every colonizing nation in the Old
World TO minimize dependence upon
America for these essentials. and We
would do well. therefore. to- observe
closely the colonial policies and pro-
grams of Europe.
Broad Interest in Program.
We have however, broader interest
in the problem. Without European eco
nomic sterilization our whole industrial
and agricultural organization would be
certain to suffer. An indispensable item
TO that sterilization across the Atlantic
is the development of sound colonial
programs. This involves, as indicated,
not simply increasing exports to the
colonies through the exploitation Of
their rapidly expanding buying power,
but also the development of their latent
resources. 1t involves also, for England
in particular, a far-f1ung stimulation of
immigration for the unemployed.

Berlin Has C1apper
On 25.Year Record

Handwork has a golden bottom,
German proverb says, and it Is right.
The best proof in this day was fur
niShed by the completion Of as yeA.~
IN a somewhat unusual career. This
concerns Mr.. Eckstein, nestor Of the
Berlin theater claque, who plays an
important role In the history Of many
Berlin theater successes. Now In con-
troll of profitable organization, Eek
stein started as an employee of q cotton
firm at salary of $25 q month with
no chance for a raise. In his distress,
a good friend took him to q theater
manager. who engaged the boy at a
salary of cents q day as q profess
Sional applauder. To supplement this
income. EckStein was given IL tickets
every day. which he was allowed t.
sell, earning S cents on week days and
IL cents on Sundays for each ticket.
Thus the foundation for his fortune
was laid. Today Eckstein furnishes
four theaters with plaudatory service.
But he does not do the clapping him
self, for he maintains an ONCE which
supplies professional clappers.

excess of 81, 600 900 900, emanated from

vast industrial growth has moved for
ward in spite Of the fact that the re-
quired raw materials have not come
from colonies.
So far as colonial markets are con-
cerned an increasingly significant pro-
portion of the exports of Europe Is
being sold in the overseas possessions.
The British Empire abSorbs more than
IS per cent of England's total overseas
sales as against 35 per cent in 1918. In
fact, the colonies take more than half
of Britain's total manufactured ship
ments. India, as her largest customer,
purchased last year nearly $409, 600, 600
worth, or approximately IL per cent of
England's total exports. Australia was
second with more than $271 900, 900.
An interesting feature is the rapid adj
vancement of Nigeria in British West
Africa, whose imports per capita from
England are double the sales of British
goods per capita to the United States.

ment, the British nation has been
"stung" In respect of the war debts and
German PREPARATIONS, and the Conserv-
tiveS cannot afford to give color to
further charges i'll like kind. Does this
mean that the Young plan goes by
the board, showed oversize by the Brit
iSh government?
Not necessarily. That sop is expected
to 'amuSe" CerberuS over the elections
Belize the British experts will (the
British government conniving), sub
scribe to the Young plan. British SEN
timent is widely set up over the alleged
injusticeS to British, but it seems I'M
likely that the new Parliament, even
though the Conservatives should be In
a minority, would reject the Young
plan.
But the whole situation is in a phase
of extreme dubiety. Let us hope for
