A Special United States Commission headed by: Mr. George Edward Allen, official of the State Department and Director of the Reconstruc- tion Finance Corporation, has arrived in Ber- lin to negotiate economie exchanges with German industry.
The exchanges, it was stated, will be on the basis of the supply by the United States of raw materials such as cotton, wool and leather against payment in the finished" product to be sold in the world market. The principle_has been adopted for many months by the Rus- sians except that Russia can herself absorb every possible quantity of the goods and need not offer them for sale in the world market and it would appear that the Americans have decided to emulate the Russians and draw whatever profits are possible, from Germany's industry in their zone.
