Tientsin, Apr. 18.
The allied blockade of Germany having cut off the Reich from nearly all of its sources of supply in raw materials, a number of German commercial firms in Tientsin have decided to develop trade relations with Menglkiang, so as to transport raw materials from Inner Mongolia to Germany via the Trans-Siberian railway, the "Tenshin Nippo," a local Japanese paper, reports. Germany would on her part send to Mengkiang the capital required for its development.
A conference was recently held on the. subject, the paper adds, between the representatives of the various organizations concerned, including the Federal Reserve Bank, the Bank of Mengkiang, and the Japanese Consulate General here.—Havas.
