Bremen.—Within the free port of Bremen no manufacturing is done. However, various industries have been attracted by it and plants have been established just outside of the free zone and in or near the city. Bremen has set aside about 6,500,000 square meters of territory along she river or its harbor for industries, of which at the present time about swo-thirds has been utilized. The principal local industries are lum- ber mills; rice, oil, and flour mills; spinning and weaving mills for cotton and jute; oil refineries; chocolate, rubber, and linoleum fac- tories; iron smelters, and a large shipbuilding industry. Emden.—As in the case of Bremen no manufacturing is done in the ree harbor of Emden. Various plants, however, have been estab lished outside of the free zone. In the harbor district ample space is still available for industry. Flensburg —Manufacturing in the free port of Flensburg is carried on in a limited way. There is a small plant for the manufacture of emery paper and cloth. About 100 metric tons of these commodities are manufactured annually. In addition there is a small plant which grinds some 500 tons of minerals annually. Kiel —There are a few commercial plants located in the free harbot of Kiel, the largest of which is an industrial alcohol refilling station.
