There is a good market for his goods in Europe where the process of recon struction is proceeding and a lot of merchandise, which in the ordinary. course would have been shipped out, here, are going there! This is a very shortsighted policy, as they are reglecting the Far Eastern market and leaving it open to other..com petitors.
