WAR POSSIBILITY,
BUT SEEKS PEACE
fcr FcrltiMl Jiki
Uaited Sw 8taff Correspondent. ....
v Copyright, 1912. by United Jiw '
Berlin. Dec. 1. Hugo Stlnnes, hM
Snartcial and political Influences cdn
ttitut Beri)&M Ihe hler factor In Gr-
puy'i futue, believes that war be
tween France and Germany, as fore
taat by Georges Clemenceau In Amer
ica, ia unlikely, unless
1 French politicians persist In their
policy of advocating ultimatums in. re
tard to the reparations payments : '
2 The French succeed in accomplish
big tbeir threatened occupation ot tit
- Ruhr and the Rhineland.
Even then, Stlnnes believes It. would
perhaps be only a case of afa "eventual"
struggle.
"WAR MAT BE. FORCED
Stlnnes. with road 1 plana f closer
FranooOerman cooperation and wttn
the firm afipe and belief in its realisa
tion . through intimate association of
French and German big business in
terests, haa informed his French buslr
ness colleagues unequivocally that,
while Germany cannot now halt such
occupation action in ; the Ruhr or
- Rhineland as has been suggested, such
action would lead to an-, eventual out
break of war spirit.
! In the course of time, he has warned
further, this outburst perhaps might
lead to actual conflict. Stinnett be
lieves that Franc has it within her
power not only to have her devastated
territories restored by Oermany, but
also to institute, an era of peace and
cooperation between the two nations,
lie contends that Germany is not In a
.'war mood, and even If she were she is
tn no position to menace France.
vIn short, be believes, Germany, does
net desire to start a war with anybody.
and will not do so unless as a result
of extreme depression, and by depres
sion finally forced to it.
REAL TJKIOIT ATM
. Far from hoping that such an out
coma will eventually coma from, the
Franco-German difficulties. Stlnnes is
driving for a real union between these
neighbors, a union fostered by their
big business men.
Through the arrangement framed by
Stlnaea and Minister Loubert of France,
representing F ranch Industrialist,
which agreement provides for restora
tion of devastated France by the
Stlnnes groups the Germans to furnish
material and labor, . .Stlnnes believes
the groundwork has been laid for" a
fruitful cooperation. . -
The German financial. giant is fully
aware that the French now virtually
have it In their power to do what they
choose with the Rhineland. But be is
one of those far-seeing men of the new
Germany, who Bay. "We want no war;
we want peace, work and progress."
Meantime, warned by the press and
'even more direct advices, that the al
lied powers are becoming more united
and bitter on the question of repara
: tions. Chancellor WlUielm Cono has be
. gun quiet, though desperate, efforts to
- head off the calamity he believes would
follow French occupation of the 3ih Ice
land and Ruhr. -. ? .
Turning to big business Interests for
assistance, be Is looking toward a for
eign loan guaranteed by them.
-Stlnnes, toward whom the govern
ment always turns in such situations,
is expected here Friday or Saturday
to consult with Cuno regarding rescue
measures. It is known that Stlnnes is
anxious to go to almost any lengths
to avoid any further French occupa
tion of Germany, which would cripple
German Industry.
It is not known, however,' how far
be is prepared to go la the matter of
uniting with' other Indus trfcl leaders
to guarantee a loan ? --
U. S. Is Blameless -
As Creditor! Harvey
States Jto Britain
Manchester, Eng.. Dec 1. Uncle
Sam prefers to help those who at least
try . to help themselves. Ambassador
George Harvey stated before the Anslo-
Americajt society XJwrwlay.
Harvey introduced the subject of
Europe's debt to Americsr while dls
cussing England's "trade revivat
"We want ail the people in the world
to make money, Xo make our money If
they can," he stated, tout not by lyin-
down- or. by pleading taa baby act.
In speaking of the position of the
United States as a ereditor nation.
Harvey said. '"What of it? It Isn't6 a
crime to be a creditor is It? I ask you
Englishmen, you ought to know."
Harvey, in pointing out that Great
Britain always has been the greatest
creditor nation in the world, said:
"You Englishmen earned your wealth,
and are justly entitled to keep It or to
use' it as you see fit. We humbly, hut
somewhat firmly, claim a like privi
lege." - . .
England and the United States,' he
said, are in the same boat, both being
solvent and both advancing the claim
of being honest, , "Neither of us is a
cannibal; neither a Shylock," he con-cluded.
