An impressive scheme for world eco- mic relief was published today by Edmond Hugo Stinnes, eldest son of the great industrial megnate, in the; Berlin Deutsche Allegemeine Zeitung. In the list Herr St outlines, of | the various points necessary, partizu- Jarly from the German angle, the first| 1s cancellation of reparations, or the| simultaneous cancellation of 50 per cent | of reparations and private debts, since, according to his calculations, Germany is in a position to produce an annual export surplus equal to about ohly hall of its necessary payments abroad.

Third, Germany should make clear its intention of turning its back on Moscow and coming closer to the allied capitalistic ~ world, particularly to France. Fourth, the interest on all public and private German_internal long-time Joans should by fiat be redueed 50 per cent, thus lowering all production ccsts. Filth. rents should be lowered by 20 or 25 per cent Sixth, cartel end mum Salary Probosed. Seventh, salaries and pensions of all public employes should be lowered, pos sibly to a maximum of $3.000 annual Eighth, wages per hour should be maintained, but the number of working hours per workman should be reduced. Ninth, university-trained _students should not seek to enter professions where they have no chance, but should be admitted into industries as a Kind of privileged workmen with chances of quick advancement. Plan’s Chances Held Slim. Herr Stinnes’ second article, to be published tomorrow, outlines ~further | means of realizing these measures. | These means include lowered rents, in- timidated cartels, administrative ' re- form, the feeding of unemployed di- Tectly by goods and preferential instcad of most favored nation commercial treaties Unfortunately, the plan has chance of being carried out. «Copy TWO OF 17 BURNED _IN OIL BLAST DIE| little Beven Others in Philadelphia Ex- plosien Are Not Expected to Live.

The same forces, to a certain extent, opposed Stresemann, who, hed he lived, with little question would have been Hindenburg's suc- cessor. The most significant figure, however, is Otto Braun, premier of Prussia, the greatly cominant state, in size and in- fluence, in the Reich. ” Braun is a So- | cialist, yet the industrialists say “he| measures up to the need.” Braun is a level-headed man, shrewd, a sound po- itical stratogist, and he wiclds incal- culable inflience. He has supported himeelf egainst countless intrigues, | which are more numerous in Prussia | than anywhere else in the Reich, even | Bavaria. For obviously the party| which can capture Prussia captures Germany. Braun has the advantage of more factors in his favor, and fewer against him, than any other prospective candi- date. 1 Schacht in Roll. There is a third potent name, that! of Dr. Hjalmar Schacht, whose power today is scarcely less than when he headed the Reichsbank. Industrialists and politicians alike admit, reluctantly it is tre=, that Schacht's name is almost certain to b2 introduced into the presi- dential nominations. Moreover, it is admitted that, in personal character.| Schacht is the strongest man available | for a crisis which, if it comes, will de- mand ruthless fron-handed dictatorship. But of these three Dr. Luther is the only avowed campaigner, and in spite of h's substantial services, few in the ranks of the leaders seem to want him. But here again the analogy with| Stresemann may serve—although the two men were wholly unlike—for the| leaders would not have chosen Strese- mann.
