Future Industrial Relations
Between Germany Austria
And Hungary Important
BERLIN, Sept. 15.—Few questions
raised by the war are more momen •
toils to Germany, Austria and Hungary
than the future industrial relations
among these three nations.
For close to a century or ever since
Prussia as an independent state o:
Germany took the initiative, the prob
lem of customs duties among them
has been a moot question on which all
have seldom agreed and on which they
do not agree today.
The original and varying objections
to a proposed “customs association” o?
agreement among the original inde
pendent states of Germany, Austria
and Hungary eventually were swept
away almost forcibly and a union was
introduced that almost immediately
produced results. The varied develop
ments of the three nations during the
course of years, however, brought
constant disagreement as to what the
tariff conditions should be—disagree
ments which it is felt in many circles
must be settled during the present war
if at all.
Hungary at one time or another has
been a persistent contender for a high
protective tariff against the invasion
of the articles which the well-develop
ed industry of Germany has suppllied.
and in consequence of which the Hun
garian industry is still in its infancy.
Not longer ago than late in July, Hun
gary once more formally protested, at
a meeting of the German-Austrian Ec
onomic League, against the lowering
of tariffs, and pleaded even for higher
customs duties than exist at present.
Not all Hungary, however, holds this
view, as a very recent meeting of
Hungarians in Berlin attested. The
men, more than a score of them, com-1
prised the Hungarian Economic
League, which with the German-Aus 1
trian organization comprises the Cen
tral European League. In spite of op-

si position that was at times determined,
a majority of the members, comprising
• some of Hungary’s prominent agricul
> tural, industrial and political figures,
finally went, on record as in favor o°
■ taking down the tariff bars among the
’ three countries.
One of the chief arguments brought
i forward was that Germany and Hun
gary do not manufacture the same
things, and that both will be benefitted.
rather than hindered by the admission
of articles that do not compete with
home production.
Thus Hungary is a producer of agri
cultural machinery— to supply its own
large needs, and can without any harm
to German industry introduce its pro
duct in the latter empire. ' Germany oi
the other hand makes quantities of
other kinds of machinery and a thous
and things that are not produced in
Hungary, which can be introduced at
a lower tariff into that country with
out competing dangerously with Hun
garian industry.
The argument that an understanding
and agreement must be reached dur
ing rather than after the war is ad
vanced by many, who believe that
after hostilities have ceased the na
tions will be too busy with their reno
vation and upbuilding and too jealous
of each other industrially ever to be
able to arrive at an understanding.
, Prominent Hungarians in the League
notably Mr. Lanczy, Member of the
Hungarian House of Magnates, hold
the opposite view however, and insist
that the present time is inopportune,
and that efforts to bring about a tariff
reform now are premature. This
I branch is steadfastly opposed by those
I who maintain that all the three coun
tries at the present time need every
1 advantage that can be derived from
lower tariffs.
Austria, because of its half-industr
ial, half-agrarian nature, has always
stood midway between Germany and
j Hungary, with a general slight leaning
j for the former. Such industries as she
has are in the main in good condition
and unlikely to be injured by a lower
ing of tariff walls that would permit
of a German industrial invasion.
The benefits in the past from the
customs union that has existed since
1834, even though througgh it individ
uals went down, are sufficiently mark
ed to induce Austrians to favor on the
whole a still closer relation of this
sort. Hungary is and always has been
poor capitalistically, so that she has
ranged on the side of the opposition. .
