Free the World's Trade.

German competition is again causing uneasiness in Great Britain. The damage inflicted upon German industry by the war was severe enough, one would have thought, to satisfy the greediest competitor, but the hoped-for monopoly of trade has not been realized. The English papers that formerly lamented the prevalence of the label "Made in Germany" are again bewailing the effectiveness of German competition. The cost of production is relatively low in Germany because of lower wages and longer hours. Trade-union restrictions have had to give way under pressure of the hard conditions imposed by the victorious nations.
