The question of resuming trade with Germany from August 1, has disclosed much heartburning through the mediums of the press and public comment besides sentimental objections against Germany as the instigator of war. Tl o opponents to the scheme strongly urge that Australians should not help to again build up Germany’s trade so as to enable her to get into her former fighting position. As showing Germany’s preparedness to push trade i" ■ Australia *s soon as the embargo is lifted a circular has been'received in Sydney from a German agent at Cape, town quoting the very low prices of pianos, which have already been landed in Capetown, in readiness to opening Australia’s doors. The agent adds: <<jAs I expect these fine pianos to find a quick sale in Australia, please send your orders at once, cable money with order and address all correspondence to mv firm at Capetown.”
