Thesa companies, he said, had signed secret contracts which eliminated all possibility of competition with the German mo nopoly. "I have in my possession," said Dr. Teeple, "a copy of a new form of con tract framed with the devil's own in genuity to evade all existing Amer ican laws, including the anti-dumping met and the Sherman anti-trust law. This contract is between the Deu tsche Kalisyndikat of Berlin, the of ficial German potash' monopoly, and the 34 American distributors. Contract Conaldered Menace. The provisions of this contract, with the change of a few words, are applicable to almost any industry in the country and If this form of alli ance Is to be successful then there I& nothing to prevent the utter wiping out of one Industry after another in this country and the transfer of in dustrial supremacy to Germany. "The contract provides for the amounts1 to he purchased by each of these companies. The price feature provides that If any buyer Is offered a lower rate than the cut-throat prices agreed upon, the Germans are to be given an opportunity to meet it before any outside purchases are made. The German seller also agrees to pay any tax or duty affecting de liveries under the contract which may be Imposed or assessed by the United States government. "The contract also provides that the American potash mixers and distrib utors snail purchase not less than 75 per cent of their requirements from the German monopoly. i.n nian. Win Victory. "The Germans have won their first victory in the new c6mmercial war. We are the sufferers. If they can hold their spoils for a year we are out of the business forever Upon that the Germans depend, for then they can raise their prices and In one season easily recoup losses sustained by their present cut-rate contract."
