BRYANT WASHBURN IN “BURG- :dustrinl socialization problem, whicl IN TEN YEARS IS PLAN Industries Will Be Run By Community, But Change to Be Gradual / By Franz Lehnhoff, (United Press Staff' Correspondent) Beflin—(By Mail)—The whole in- caused such a flurry after the “revo- lution,” has gradually concentrated until now it is centered around the socialization of the coal mines. Form- ulation of a socialization bill is now enfrusted to a ‘“‘committee of 14,” under the Reichswirtschaftsrat. Itis believed this committee will find a middle way between the so-called Led: 30 years). Investigation indicates that the majority of the German workmen stand behind the idea of full socialization of the mines. There can be no doubt that it would be easy to throw the torch of a new gen- strike among the ranks of the miners were the government to seek " to sidestep at this time. The workmen are becoming tired of much talk about socialization and lit- tle action. But, everybody concern- ed is finding it difficult to put into practice a real scheme of either full or partial socialization. 8 clear proposal has come only from the former first director of the Thyssen concern, Bergassessor Hor- ten. Horten, organizer of the great works at Helterdingen, one of the biggest plants in the world, has cre- ated the enmity of the capitalists and won the friendship of the working| 2 ). |circles through his schemes. Horten' gpeqking thenter devotee, there was a There is one retail drug store to!contends that coal socialization done i o when an order was passed by is insuffieient and even possible. He would socialize a number of branch- es. His plan contemplates making! one great factory organization out of | a number of kinds of plants in the; Ruhr district and placing this under$ control of the community at large.| With this great factory organization as a basis, he would add other lines from time to time, until at the end of, say ten years, the whole country! had been socialized. He holds that coal alone cannot be socialized be- cause of the fact that it is intertwined with other lines like coal and stecl.| He would socialize only industries which are fully developed and whose existence is indispensable to the com- mon welfare. Lines which require es- pecial inventive talent or research— which would be fostered more by in- dividual initiative than otherwise— he would leave unsocialized. In other words, he would tale only works from which no new progress can be expected. Coal, iron and the like have, in general, reached their high point in development. And, many in- dustries, he claims, do not want to progress further; in fact, they buy up patents and scrap them rather than utilize them. While the socialization people are busy with their schemes, a great 1 |row, and that no man is ‘down and massing of capital is occurring, taking the form of concentration of varidus big enterprises. The greatest brains of Germany are interested in the lat- est concentration movement. In the stinnes concern are such'men as Gen- eral-Director Voegler, a reichstag rcp- resentative, and Emil Kirdoff. In the concentrated Stinnes group belong coals, electrical works, iron mines, cast stecl works, ~auto works #nd shipping interests. The zoncern has interests in the Hamburg Amerika line, the Deutsch-Ostafrika line, and number of shipbuilding concerns.
