The heads of the great industrial houses of Essen are outspoken in their criticisms. They say that al ready huge contracts have been can celed and that the prospects are that trade will stagnate. They declare that the workmen will be the chief ones to suffer and that the ntir Puhr basin, if not all Germany, will be damaged Irreparably If the entente carries out a heavy taxation of Bhlne land exports. , From other sources it was learned the cancellations, whloh are not be lieved to be as extensive as reported, were due to the Germans Insisting that purchasers would have to pay any allied tax Imposed.
