Abstract
THE current issue of the Bulletin d'Encouragement pour l'Industrie nationale (May–June, 1915, No. 3, vol. 122) is of special interest, inasmuch as it gives the views of men, each eminent in his own particular sphere, on the reasons why much of French trade has been captured by Germans; and also their suggestions for preventing the commercial aggression of the Germans after the war. The bulletin begins with a short preface by the president, M. Léon Lindet; this is followed by suggestions by M. Niclousse to the following effect: (i) A statute is to be passed for stopping foreign, and especially. German, individuals, companies, or products from masquerading as French. It is urged that all machines, apparatus, and products should be of French manufacture and, if possible, invented by a Frenchman, (ii) A circular to be issued by the Syndicate of Mechanicians, Boiler-makers, and Foundry-men, urging the public to avoid purchasing anything of German or Austro-Hungarian manufacture, and to buy rather from the Allies, (iii) To prevent Frenchmen from acting as agents for the enemy, (iv) To employ no German means of transport.
