TRADE FAIRS
* LEIPZIG & VIENNA FIXTURES CANCELLED. FAMOUS GERMAN EXHIBITIONS. (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, February 11. News from Stockholm of the decision to cancel the famous trade fairs at Leipzig and Vienna this year is regarded in Sweden as signifying the extent to which Germany is scraping the bottom of her industrial and economic resources for war purposes. There was not enough goods to justify keeping up the costly exhibitions. A machinery shortage was already noted at the 1941 fairs. The decision to cancel them was certainly not taken lightly, because their continuation and the maintenance of export trade, despite war conditions, was one of the main weapons of Germany’s economic armoury.
