The article discusses about several international affairs. The extension of foreign trade by Germany. European Trading Co., is reaching out for the control of imports from the Soviet Union, Finland, Persia, and the Far East. Associated with the company are committees, representing a number of leading importing and exporting firms, prominent among them being the concerns which deal in cotton and wool. A similar company, in which Krupps and the Hamburg-American corporation are reported to be heavily interested, has lately been formed at Hamburg. The U.S. Senate seems to be on the point of adopting a proposal for shutting up its own wind-bags during the period of the first World War.
