pire. Yet. they are an appreciable factor.
The national wealth of the entire Ger
man empire has been computed at $780,
600 Oo0. 900. This is approximately equal
to that of the United Kingdom. although
1t is smaller per capita, because of the
larger population of Germany.
The national income of Germany has
been estimated at $40, ,0O0. 900. which
is not far from that of Great Britain. The
amount of foreign investment on the
part of Germany is thought to be about
$4,000. .G0O,0 900. This involves many forms
of capital Some of this capital. es-

was receiving from abroad something like
$3.50 .00o. 900 annually. 1t is a very in
tereSting problem to determine how much
of this continues, and Is. therefore. a war
resource of Germany; but even the most
careful estimates are largely guesswork.
The contrast between the Br tiSh and
the German foreign investments is as
marked as that between the economic and
the military policies of the two nations.
British investments are the growth of

taking care of surplus capital for which

at home. German investments are the
outcome o. a generation in which the
political unity following the Franco-Prus-
stan war was the foundation for a
marvellous industrial and commercial
growth. yet without creating much sur
plus capital
British investments have been largely
due to private initiative and enterprise,
with a British gunboat back of them to
protect and encourage them in the for
eign field. The benefit to British COM
merce of the private enterprise is an Incl
dent of huge importance.
German investments abroad have been
part of the German system. They are a

Pueblo.-Granting practically every
point which any labor union ever
asked, with the one exception of rec
ognition of the union. which. he says,
is not an impossible thing of the fu
ture. and voluntarily offering certain
betterments in advance of union de-
mands, even to the promise of peri

pany and employees, John ID. Rockefel-
Ter. Jr., gave out here to meeting of
miners representing his employees the
text of the Rockefeller Industrial
Plan by which he and his associates
hope to bring about permanent indus
trial peace in the mining camps of
the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company.
In brief the Rockefeller plan for con-
tinuance Of friendly relations between
the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company
and. its employees is as follows:
Wages always in proportion to those
paid in other competitive districts.
Opportunity to air grievances, real
or fancied. and the broadest scheme
of arbitration where company and
The right of the men to belong to
labor unions if they wish, and no dis
elimination against them If they do.

olations of printed and posted rules
or of state laws, and then usually

choose representatives to frequent con
| ferences at which all questions of
working and living conditions, social
and industrial betterment. camp san
itation, doctors and hospitals, mine
safety, education and recreation, shall
be discussed.

either real or fancied, by which an en-
ploye may take his case to various Of

State Industrial Commission for set

| Assurance that the company heads
will at all times work with the men
for the communal good, and invite
suggestions, criticisms and complaints
which are for the common welfare.
The plan was presented by Mr..

atives of the miners from every Colo
RADIO Fuel and Iron Company camp in
the state. The representatives were
elected by the workmen themselves at
secret meetings from which all com
pany representatives were barred. The
plan as proposed calls for the con
tinuance of this representative system
in dealings between employee and EN-
ployer. and the same secrecy which
the employees enjoyed in choosing the
men to represent them at yesterdays
conference will be adhered to, as 1t is
a part of the new Rockefeller plan.
After a thorough discussion the
plan was adopted. 1t will now be re-
ferred for approval to the board of di-
rectors of the company on the one
hand and to the company's miners at
the several camps on the other hand.
II the plan is adopted by both factions
1t becomes binding and will be recog-
nized virtually as a constitution for
