Greater Production Needed in Postwar Trade Debate
The arrival of the American ship Jason from Hamburg to New York sparks debate on German competition and the need for higher U.S. production. The piece argues that cheaper German imports threaten prices and jobs, urging workers and manufacturers to boost output as tariffs and sentiment fail to shield markets. It notes Hamburg’s wartime scarcity easing, cites a dealer’s 40 percent cost advantage via German materials, and warns postwar policy must rely on domestic production to counter foreign competition. It ends with a dig at political commentary about Wilson and a poet’s resilience.
