Thus at the present time France has iron, but lacks coal and coke. Germany has coal and coke, but lacks iron. Stinnes therefore con- eeived the idea of the collaboration of German and French industries for the restoration of the devastated re- gions, dividing orders between them, the Germans furnishing the machin- ery, materials and labor, but only to the extent that French industry would permit. He came to Paris in 1920 and I made this proposition, which was so well received by French business men that Charles Laurent, president of the Union of Mining and Metallurgical Industries and of the committee for in the devastated regions, was imme- | to Berlin.
