 These large enterprises are af ated closely with the German g ernment. Where a German subj has an investment over here of q \ Vate, individual character we ouI not to disturb it, Iut these grI industries, these great conce| financed by the Deutsches bank, s| ported by the junker class, are kind we ought to Americanize."
