A GREAT FINANCIAL SCHEME. | Capitalists Propose Syndicate For Kidding Governments of Obnoxious Elements in Its Population.
 | LONDON, Feb. 11.-An afternoon paper | states that financial scheme of singular de- sign and vast scope is being considered by the capitalists of the leading European cities and 6 syndicate is said to be forming with a view to carrying out the plan. The action of Germany in expropriating the lands of Poles
 and colonizing them with Germans is said to
 have suggested the idea to the promoters. It
 is proposed with 8 practically unlimited
 amount of capital to offer facilities to any
 government to get rid of an undesirable
 clement in it's population. The understand
 ing is that offer will be made to the Ger
 man government to take charge of the prac-
 tical details of the intended transfer of the
 land ownership in Prussian Poland. Instead
 of the government buying the lands and
 disposing of them at easy rates
 tosGerman immigrants, the syndicate will,
 if it's offer is accepted, purchase the
 lands and offer substantially the same terms
 to settlers as those outlined by Bismarck in
 his recent speech on this subject. A certain amount of government co operation in the matter would be necessary in compelling the land owners to partsswith their holdings at a fair appraised value, but beyond this the State would not be asked to assume any new burden. The second part of the proposed enterprise, however, is an improvement up on Prince Bisnarck's intentions at least from humanitarian point ot view. Instead of turning the small holders out of house and home compulsorily, they will be provided with homes elsewhere. It is the de- sign to purchase vast tracts of land in some country where the presence of the Poles would not be objected to and to colo nize them there, forming practically new Poland socially though the political fabric be lost. Equitable terms of exchange of their present holdings for new ones would be of fered part of the scheme if this were pre- ferred 10 cash payments. The retention by the syndicate of central tracts in the newly colonized districts would be large element in the sources of it's prospective profits.
 Among the other movements which are held in view is the encouragement of the idea of the return of the Hebrews to Pales- tine, facilities for the purpose being offered to the Jewish residents of countries where strong anti-Semitic feeling is manifested. Irish emigration to America is also proposed to be stimulated, large tracts of land in the West being bought for colonial purposes. The estates of the Irish landlords being ta- ken over by the syndicate their rich lands would be offered to English settlers on at tractive terms, and it is believed by those in- terested that if the governments sanction should be obtained to this plan the Irish question would disappear from British poli tics. The details of the prospectus show careful calculation of financial results and in dicate large return on the capital employ ed. It is also contended that, while organized primarily as a money making scheme. it's op- erations will really be benevolent in their re- suits to persecuted and oppressed peoples
