BURITIBA ISTANZIELD 105 YEARS,

EMPTY SHIPPING PALACES

THE BREMEN OF TO-DAY.

Nothing could be sadder Germany just now than the gigantic palaces of the abip- ping companies, where industry His stopped because there are no ships, says the Bremen carres- pondent of the Daily News. Think not only of the directars. and the army of clerks who were ones housed in these enormous offices, but of thousands of ex- cellent mariners, and other ship- folk cut off from their beloved blue water and condemned to a long period oflongshore inactivity.

The principle of ton for ton in return for unrestricted submarine warfare is as just as anything in the Treaty, but undoubtedly the people it punishes are among the most peaceful and enlightened in Germany; and the business of the international exchange of goods and passengers is one of the most pacific influences this too bel- ligerent planet can boast.

Hamburg-American House. bearing on its facade the proud motto. "The World my Field," locks out on the empty Alster with scarcely a nutshell to sail thereon. The Bremen offices of the North Ger- man Lloyd, finer than any palace I have seen, are now mostly occupied by food control com- mittees and a detachment of the Noske Guard within the great main portal. The stair reminds one of the Catskill Railway as it springs at cae flight over the lofty ground floor to the precincts above. At the summit of this richy carpeted peak, I found Doctor Grewe, the financial director of the company, a well- groomed. English looking genzie.

man.

I scarcely knew how to speak to this dethroned monarch when I remembered reading in the morning paper the company's sailing-list, wholly consisting of Hamburg, lighters bound to Cuxhaven. Emden, Lubeck. Danzig, Konigsberg, Memel; and such unadventurous ports. "The Allies have seized all our ships abroad. and at a fair and re-

asonable price taken all those at home over 1,600 tons, and half the rest," said Dr. Grewe. Weshall gradually, in the course of years. replace them, buying here and there, and then building, but our Atharic trade for the present has ceased."

Meanwhile the scarcity of cargo in Germany was shown by the fact that the American food ships were always going back empty. Gerican factories had certainly been busy during the war bat they had been producing wat goods boots with wooden soles, paper clothes, paper leather. Ersatz of every kind. The people would not buy these until the real things had all gone, and no neutral country would buy them now. Some of the new materials might continue in use after the war. One or two were made before 1914-for example. paper canvas as a groundwork for carpets.

"If England felt herself en- dangered by the depreciation of the German mark, she could best protect herself by restoring its value." Asked bow this could be done, Dr. Grewe said undoubt. edly by an international loan. re-establishing the credit of the world. The policy prevailing against Germany was apparently the policy of Foch, and aimed at her destruction: "but." said the shipping king. without ships you have not destroyed her, and never will,

"England has not yet realized how much she needs Germany. Each country was the other's best customer, and neither can replace the loss of the other. Their trade is intermixed, like a network"-here the speaker joined both hands, each finger between two others-you cannot sort it out and say "This is good and that is bad." Dealings are reciprocal: bought cotton from England and sold cotton to England, and the

EARLIER TELEGRAMS.

LABOUR IN JAPAN:

were

Londen, Nov. 29. An Official Communique from the Washington Labour Conférence shows that the eight hour day discussion had special reference to Japan. Mr. Barnes, for Britain, pre- sented a report showing that eleven hours daily worked in the cotton industry, while the silk industry, em- ploying 900,000 employees, was working thirteen hours daily. Hence the report recognises the impracticability of im mediately reducing the hours to western standards, but Japan's assurance that she will accelerate the adoption of the principles current in the west, it was recommended that she be asked to effect an early substantial reduction in the hours of labour. A forty-eight hour week was recommended for workers inder fifteen years of age; xixty hours for silk workers; fifty-seven for other industries; also a twenty-four hour weekly rest day. The Japanese Labour delegate protested against the modifications and declared that in the Textile Industries there were 700,000 women living almost a life of slavery. The Japanese Government delegate point- ed out that their industries were less than thirty years old and they could not be expected to immediately swallow wholesale all the Western practices which had taken centuries to develop. He urged that, Japan evidenced good faith by accepting a number of big concessions including recognition and encouragement of trade unions, also conventions regard. ing unhealthy processes, and work for wopen and children, representing a greater concession than any country made or was going to make.
