Living Costs Up: also Dividends.
Berlin, October 5.
The two-fold effect of the depreciation of the mark-namely, an industrial boom and a rise in the cost of living-continues and is emphasised in daily announcements of increases in the price of com. modities and of high dividends. The report of the Humbolt Machine Construction Institute declaring a dividend of 10 per cent. compared with the previous 6 per cent states that an unprecedented number of orders has been received from abroad, including one of M. 17,000,- 000 of which 54 per cent has already been pait.

Britain for repayment of war debts. It is emphasised that the United States would not desire to prejudice the issues at the Washington Conference by raising such an important and embarrass- ing subject at present, and it is pointed out that while President Harding is opposed to the question of the war debts being discussed a: the Washington Conference, he is heartily in favour of easy payments for the benefit of the debtor nations.
