German manufacturers are planning to rehabilitate their world trade by a "new policy," according to a writer in a Nuremberg manufacturers' journal. This policy contemplates nothing less than abandonment of the German practice prac-tice of flooding the world with fY.ocVi-17 " o-nnds. which, he saTS. was nt,. & , , v . general in pre-war days. Admitting that the outlook for German exports is "unfortunate," in view of the progress in manufacturing made in Japan, the United States, Great Britain and other countries, this expert expresses ex-presses the belief that these nations are so busy trying to increase thoir industrial production that they are becoming be-coming lax in the matters of artistry and quality.
