WOULD WELCOME SPENDERS
BE1RLLN, June 5.—The exodus of
foreigners on account of high prices
in Germany, and the refusal of those
who remain to buy anything which
they must not have, has hit the ho
tels, cures, railways, steamer lines
restaurants and theaters so hard that
German 'business men are now strlv
tag to have the special taxes on for
signers removed.
The discrimination against foreign
ers. has been ruinous for business
which depends on the trade of tour
tots.
