Setting up machinery, mixing, sorting, etc., are not included, and the success of these particular industries is dependent upon the free port. The business is in addition to what Copenhagen would otherwise have. A recent report received on the free port of Copenhagen states that at the present time there are 17 manufacturing institutions located in the free zone. The following shows the character and number of industries: Marble-grinding factory _ _ Grain-drying plant___ Paint factory... ______________ Factories for mixing fodder stuffs. - Rifle factories. _______ Coffee-burning plants. _ _ Film factory________ Chocolate factory _ _ Machine factory ________ Feather-clesning factories oo These fuctories are engaged in the manufacture of both finished and semifinished products. Stockholm. —Special permission of the King is required for conduct- ing industrial activities in the free harbor. It appears that several firms have contemplated the use of the free port for this purpose. One individual hag applied for and received permission to manufacture air- plane barachutes, which are intended chiefly for export. With this exception, no definite steps have been taken to establish industries in the free port. Malmo. —As at Stockholm, manufacturing activities are permitted only when sanctioned by the King. The port was opened in 1922, and 0 manufacturing has as yet developed. Danzig—The ares of the free port is insufficient for activities other than warehousing. Gothenburg —There is a small factory in the free port of Gothenburg for the manufacturing of silk neckties and two workshops for the mak- Lo of sails.
