Germany's
Low Wage
No Menace
American Made Goods
Able to Compete In
Markets of Neutral
Countries
By Frank E. Mason
Berlin, July 21 Can Germany's
cheap labor underbid the world
markets and throw Americans out
of work? This question has
brought dozens of American busi
ness men to Germany who are
making quiet investigations of the
German industrial situation. The
result of these investigations are,
for a time at least, reassuring for
America.
An American textile manufac
turer found that" to his surprise he
can undersell the German in neu
tral European countries In many
lines. The International News
Service asked hill) the reason why
Germany, with labor costing only
from eight to fifteen cents an hour
cannot compete with the compara
tively highly paid American work
man's output. He said:
"Before the war Germany was
able to cut prices because of her
enormous production. The major
ity of textile factories today are
working only 35 to 40 per cent of
their 1913 production. Smaller
output increases production cost
on the article. The reasons for
the decreased output are:
"1. The graduated taxation is so
heavy that manufacturers don't
find it worth the risk to have a
big output. With a heavy produc
tion the state takes the profits
in taxation; with a smaller gross
income they can make a larger net
profit without so much risk.
"2. The fluctuating exchange of
the mark makes it dangerous for
German manufacturers to lay In
large stocks of raw material. The
