Fraterni- zation in Hamburg and recol of the second internationale won't store the former enthusiasm. The German republic itself must bear the main part of the restoration of the country through guaranteeing reparations if the latest proposal be- s effective. Tt ‘must pledge its s, its posts and its te- real es e, which, nder proper management, could make & yearly profit of from 600,000,000 to 1,000,000,000 gold marks. This is the estimate of our best industrial leaders. They suggest that, in addi- tion, a second guaranty shall follow carrying 500,000,000 marks vearly, 60 per cent of which is to be horne b agriculture, banks and wholesale in- dustry and the remainder by other industry. This would guarantee from 1,100,000,000 to 1,500,000,000 arly for thirty vears and could be increased when fugitive capital is returned. This offer comes s late that the French will regard it as marking the succ of their Ruhr ction, but it is not too late to destroy the dangerou legend that only heavy industry F been hindering the settlement of the reparations problem. People who at- tack Stinnes as behind the proposal believe it is part of his plan to get the state undertakings into his hands. But it is merely a question of leas- ing, not selling, the railroads; and if private ownership can make profits where the state has only deficits this defeat of the bureaucrats can only be of advantage to the public and cannot damage the workingmen.
