GERMAN CONDITIONS..

A British business man who" has been touring in Germany writes to me frankly advocating the resumption of trade with Germany, for he has

been irritated at seeing the Neutrals-

Danes. Swedes. Dutch and Americans

making a big profit by buying from the Germans at the present rate of exchange and then selling at a second profit to the British. He says the Erate of excharge only allows the Ger- Finans to buy raw materials and neces-

sities.

But they are offering already to export motor cars, cycles, planos, organs. toys, jewellery, all kinds of hardware, and a host of other things.

He describes them as being com- mercially depressed, with only skeleton train service. "They know they are beaten," he adds. and they jare anxious to make the best of a bac bargain.". On the other hand there is evidence of their widespread plans for intrigue and commercial conquests. !. so I think they need to be kept well under observation.

Two German rading ships have teen in the Thames, without mishap or demonstration. But none of the crew was allowed ashcre. PILFERAGE.

One of the remarkable phases of this present time is the growth of pil ferage on the railways, at the docks, in the shops and everywhere. I sup- pose Army life rather developed a loose idea mine and thine. AL the same time the increased cost of living and the demand for better sian- dards, have made men and women į drop the usuali restraints.
