THE STATE'S OLDEST NEWSPAPER (Established 1873) GERMANY UNAFFECTED The anxiety which was betrayed in some quarters over the effect of the death of Hugo Stinnes, the master German industrialist, appears to have been wasted. The majorit} of the German spokesmen for the public regard his death as having little effect upon the nation at large, some of the newspapers even seeing Germany freed from an iron heel of a manipulator of finance which w crushing the country. The activities of Stinnes were varied. Unlike many other rich men of the world he was an act and outspoken par- ticipant in affairs of government, his voice carried weight and vitally affected the course of the Fatherland. Whether or not he was actuated by patriotic or selfish motives is now a matter of debate in Germany. Stinnes, who i id to have increased a legacy of $250,000 to a fortune of $250,000,000, is assailed in some German quarters as the father of the inflation policy, which sent prices sky-rocketing, brought poverty and misery, demor ized the mark and threw Germany into economic chaos. During all this time he, among the very few, appears to .| German EDITORIAL REVIEW ‘omments reproduced pluinn may of may not the opjnion of The Tribu: are pysented here in ordei our Feaders Voay have both ai of {mportal issués which are being discussed in the press of tne day, i A TREATY OF ECONOMIC PEACE} It ig a world treaty of economic! peace which the s and Mc-| Kenna reports offer. The arbitra-| tion of arms ended with the Arm- istice. The arbitration of politics} ended, with the Treaty of Ve les. But neither was a conclusive settlement, because neither took cognizance of economics. What Germany has needed, what France hag needed, what Europe has needed at the world has needed—has been and is today a busines ttlement That is prec what the eco- nomic experts have worked out They have eschewed political con- siderations; they have dealt solely with economic considerations. Through the complexities of their! findings and their recommenda tiuns shine certnin simple, plain) principles. One of these people must pay es as the creditor nations Another is t if Germany to pay, she must ihe free to exploit her sources A third is that the milliards of] capital that have taken flight to other countries, must be induced to return to Germany and bear their part in achieving finan- cial rehabilitation. The Dawes Committee proposes to erect the new German sys of payment on a firm whose three legs will be: taxes adjusted to the utm ity, with safety German — state railway third, debentures based on industries. The scheme by which Germany is to draw from these three s>ur- ces enough revenues to balance her own budget and to pay reparations on an increasing umei] it normal maximum is reached, has} apparently been worked out with] businesslike care. me economic have prospered in Germany. Some German newspapers charge that he those blind leaders of Germany during the we to measure the capacity of the nation to resist, and that he brought out Germany’s policy of passive resistance in the Ruhr in the hope of being able to beat France in the economic struggle that ensued. Correspondents seeking to interpret the mind of the average man of the street in Germany finds him little interested in Stinnes’ death, The world at large has been vitally interested in the effect of the death of Stinnes upon Germany, for it was con- fidently expected that he would add great weight to the force of opinion urging acceptance of the reparation experts’ plan for rehabilitation of Germany. The effort may be to fur-, ther impress upon the German mind at large the futility of attempting to achieve prosperity artificially, and to encour- age a dccision to travel the hard road of sacrifice back to a norms! and contented state. MR. LUNDQUIST’S APPOINTMENT — - Appointment of Oliver Lundquist as postmaster here is in accordance with the general policy la:d down by the late President Harding and reiterated by President Coolidge, of recognizing faithful and meritorious service in the postoffice. Much progress has been made in the last few years toward taking the postoffice out of politics, and the appointment here is evidence of this change. Mr. Lundquist’s experience and ability in the postal servic ures Bismarck of an efficiently conducted office. Was among who failed FRANCE’S PROGRESS If our doughboys could spend their vacations in France this year, they certainly wouldn’t know the place. The devastated regions in the war zone have been rebuilt to an amazing extent. The trenches that stretched from Switzerland to the North Sea have been nine-tenths filled in. | Four-fifths of the barbed wire has been coiled and re- moved. Over 740,000 French dwellings and agricultural buildings 2 were completely destroyed or severely damaged during the war. More than 600,000 have been rebuilt. ‘ When the German invasion started, the farms in the war zone of northern France had nearly two and a half million | cattle, horses, mules, donkeys, sheep, goats and pigs. The same region today has over one and one-half millio: And more than nine-tenths of destroyed factories have been rebuilt. Railroad mileage is virtually restored to normal. This reconstruction work has taken more than five years. France is also making rapid strides at regaining her in- dustrial strength as it existed before the war. Last year she mined almost as much coal as in 1918, from mines in the northern section. This is a remarkable | comeback, for systematic devastation of mines reduced her coal productive capacity by half. Some experts figured it would take 20 years to pump the water out and otherwise | repair. France in 1923 mined more iron ore, produced about as much pig iron and turned out more steel than in 1913. Her freight traffic in 1923 was a bit larger than in 1913. Similarly, her auto exports gained a half in volume. He general export trade jumped about 22 million metric tons in 1913 to nearly 25 millions in 1923, though imports corre- spendingly increased from about 44 million tons to 54 millions. This information about France’s recovery as an “economic machine” is furnished by’ the foreign information division of the Bankers Tryst Co. . = «The showing is so good that it will astonish most of us. It gives the lie to the propaganda that the French people have not been buckling down to work. But France still is in the swamp up to her neck—financi- ally. Recovery in this direction depends chiefly on the prob- lem of reparations and terms of settlement of France’s debts to'her wartime allies. + THIRTY It the last 10 years America has bought 30 billion dollars worth of imports from other countries. In the same time, ~ we sold 52 billion dollars worth of exports. ' This left us 22 billions “to the good.” Where is the money ? , Nearly half of it was furnished by ‘war leans to Europe. gold and securities were shipped us on the balance. The German railroads, it ia found, | one of the great dairy product concerns in America. That it fA clected to come-into North Dakota is just another proof of the grow: | ing importance of the common- are in first-class condition, and the property is unencumbered. Thus | it is perfectly practicable to draw from them by means of a capitali- zation distributed among bonds, preferred and common stock. Germany's industries in like: manner present ample securi ind opportunity for revenue-r ing. Thanks to the depreciation of the mark, they have freed them- selves from practically all obliga+| tions. The complete depreciation of their secu has amounted to! confiscation in ft favor as ag t the holders. Accordingly they are now able to bear a bur- den of debentures almost as large as the cebts from which they es- caped. . The resection of both Germany and France to the proposed settle- ment will determine its fate. Germany can scarcely consent, since to do so would mean her sinking into economic ruin be- yond hope of rescue. France must give up her eco- nomi ranglehold on the Ruhr though she may keep her military hold for security's sa She mu give Germany full freedom to work out the plan of reparation payment and budget balanci This will require some political backing and filling, some maneuvering to sat- isfy French public opinion.

ON PROWIBITION Unless witnes are lying be- fore the senate committee inve: gating the acts of Attorney General Daugherty, sponsible govern- iment employes in Washington hav@| lielped to prohibit prohibition. At this writing the testimony before the committee had not directly linked Mr. Daugherty with the whisky deals, but it had made a di- rect contact between the tranvac- and men known to be his It also is noteworthy that, n the case of tthe fight film tion, persons interested hébiting either had or they had inflyence with higher. Prohibition has produced a great variety of cro: purposes. When some energetic, honest and cour- ageous officials in the government have been bending every effort to stop illegal traffic in liquor, others have been deliberately aiding vio- lation of the Jaw. Not only in the present instance is it suspected that employes of the government connived with violators, but en- forcement officers at various places have accepted hush money from the booze interests. Congress did not. know when it enacted the law that enforcement would be so diffi- cult, that the rewards for dishon- esty would be so great in ‘their possibilities, and that so many per- sons would deliberately undertake to Wlock enforcement.
