manufacture of "national shoes" were
published. It appears certain manu
facturers offered to produce shoes
just as cheaply as the government if
they were supplied with cheap leath
er. The government, finding that
leather could be bought in Spain and
brought to France for 10 francs per
kilogram, as compared with the
French price of 20 francs, gave li
censes for the Importation. But It
was noticed no cheap shoes made
their appearance and the price of
shoes increased.
Thirty-five search warrants were
issued to find what use had been
made of the imported leather. The
investigation shows that several ho'd-
ers of permits to import this leather
sold It through Intermediaries. Some
had exported it to Mayence and Con
stantinople. Others sold theirs In
France at speculative prices.
