PARIS, France, June 17.—The most formidable industrial combination in the world is foreseen here by some as the possible result of the Loucheur- Rathenau conversations at Wiesbaden. These were practically conferences between the French 'and German min- isters of reconstruction on technical reparations matters, but these gentle- men represent par excellence the big industries of their countries. 1t is believed arrangements for the economic co-operation of France and Germany which has been Paris gos- sip for a fortnight were planned. The Paris newspapers, though re- rved, hint that these conferences ventually may result in ‘ranco-German co-operation.” This| would mean, according to the inter- 1 | " or written agreement, by mon nding. Krupp Underbids World. This scheme would create a for- titor for American for- eign trade in many lines, but chiefly stanee’ the Krupp works are already underbidding the ...u Ol lurge contracts because of the low production costs " for this very purpose. German industry in certain lines is now feverishly active, while,son the other hand, French industry is lan- gulshing, A Franco-German combi- nation of business men, more-or less independent of politics, has been dis- cussed here for many weeks unde the stimulus of large French lndus<l trial interests. These assert that the French and German interests in com- petition might ruin each other, as they are dependent upon each other. ! Could Agree om Prices. For instance, France, as a result of the war, has most of the iron; Germany has most of the coal. They have become, since the war, serious competitors for the first time in the same lines of production. Why not, ask the French industrialists, pool forces, the Germans guaranteeing to France all the needed coal, and France guaranteeing iron for the Weatphalian smelters? Then they could agree on selling prices, bids and general commercial methods. Thus Germany, which is now able to undersell France, would be permitted to raise prices to the French level. Or, the Germans, when necessary, could underbid the French minimum in order to kill oft competition and | agree to pool profits and losses. It is evident that such a combina- tion with a policy directed by the French and with technical matters controlled by the Germans, would be able to underbid the American in- dustrialists, as, for example, in the construction of railroads and public i power stations in South America. The potentialities of such a combination are infinite. It might become &, cam- petitor of British industry or the latter might be admitted. ~Although the combination itself is not political, it might bring in its train political consequences leading, perhaps, to a close alliance. It may be considered | as a substitute for a Franco-British | alliance. Briand's Change of Poliey. An eminent French diplomat in dis- cussing the Franco-German parless said: “From a general political point of | view it would be pucrile to belittle | the portent of this Interview, which is the second time since 1571 that a French and a German minister have met face to face. It is an effort to try a new policy. Until now France has counted chiefly on constraint to insure the execution of the peace treaty—the so-called Ruhr menace. “But, 8 France was unable to ob- tain the unreserved support of the allies in this policy, and as French experts expressed doubts as to the efficacy of the proposed action, no other recourse remained to M. Briand save to attempt to win from Ger- many’s consent and good will what could no longer be demanded from Germany by obedience alone. It is this evolution in French policy which has marked M. Briand's recent speeches, the particularly conciliat- ing tone of which has caused sur- prise here after the bravado of the previous month. “It is practically certain that the — e CO-OPERATIVE MARKETING ORGANIZATIONS BOOSTED Chief of U.

HOT SPRINGS, Va., June 17.—Farm- ers' co-operative marketing organiza- tions are a ‘“permanent economic in- stitution,” George Livingston, chief of the United States bureau of mar- kets, declared today in an address be- fore the convention of the Virginia Bankers’ Association. Enabling the farmer to participate in profits of dis- tfibution and at the same.time open- ing a more direct road to the con- sumer, such organizations are des- tined to have a far reacning effect upon both the farmer and the general publio, Mr. Livingston asserted. “But development in this direction must be based on the safe foundation of economic law,” the speaker con- tinued. “Success depends as much on ch industrial France and Germany | will supply cach other freely with ! raw materials and sell under a com- | ‘D.
