French Syndicate
Buying of Raw
Material Abroad
WASHINGTON, Oct. 16. — What
amounts to co-operative, syndicated
buying in foreign markets has been
adopted as a war measure by French
manufacturers who get raw materials
abroad. Commercial Attache Pierce
Williams, at Paris, points out that
French industries, are therefore being
rapidly centralized in syndicates act
ing on behalf of the French govern
ment.
These importing syndicates are
known as consortiums. Their capital
stock is fixed by the government and
each manufacturer requiring the raw
materials is permitted to take a cer
tain amount based on his pre-war im
ports.
The consortium Is permitted to dis
tribute the material to the members at
a price determined by the ministry of
commerce. It is expected that waste
ful competition will bo prevented in
markets which also must supply
France's associates in the war, and
that profiteering by mushrroom firms
will be eliminated.
