Antiques
One of the biggest industries in England must be the manufacture of rare old antiques. There are hun- dreds of men working night and day, making delicate and fragile old trophies that first saw the light of day centuries ago.
The proof of this great fraudul- ent activity is shown in a statement just issued by the United States Treasury. It is announced that the
75 per
imports of non-dutiable antiques since 1911 amount to £128,126,000.
The Treasury states that cent of these imports are fraudul- ent and most of them come from England.
