PUSHING AIR HOSPITALS
NEW IDEA HAS TAKEN

ais floating 5000 feet above England
is the apparently fantastic dreau oi
a number of experts who are endeay-
.ering to persuade the ministry OF
health to take over from the air min
istry airships, OF the RIA type, which
successfully accomplished the trans
Atlantic flight under General Matt
land, and which proved themselves
superior TO Germanys' Zeppelins as
regards length of flight and time in
the air.
The announcement of the sale Of the
R-3S to the United States navy de-
partment, and OF possible similar sales
at an early date, considerably dis
appointed many who advocate British
air supremacy at all costs, and they
are supporting medical enthusiasts in
the hope of saving these huge and
costly airsfips from the air ministry's
economy axe.
Interviewed by the London Globe,
& leading doctor attached to the
Royal Air Force during the war, de-
clared that the airships would provide
wonderful treatment for the cure of
consumption and other diseases.
Patients would be able to live for
several days or weeks at height of
5000 feet, enjoying complete rest and
breathing air as pure as that of any OF
the most famous mountain spas.

On Decline OF German

Berlin, November 25.--FBy The AS

has deserted the flag" says Tho
Norwaerts in bitter comment on
the decline in value Of the German
mark.
Numberless cases are occurring in
which the German sellers do not al E

shoulders and lay the blame TO the

Robbing Their Country Charge.
For their own sakes several

committing theft of food by driving

Through pressure on the rate of

bought in Switzerland for ten marks
and the loan. is bought up in guam
titles by those who realize that Ger

and that the mark will rise.
THE purchaser of war loan will
then make fifty per cent instead OF

The newspaper declares that some
means must be found for preventing

statement that while the government

OPPOSED BY CAPITALISTS
THWART
WORkMEN BODY
Germany's Moneyed Men Do Not
Take Kindly To Socialistic
Schemes
CARL d. GRoAT.

Berlin,-[By MaiI.l-G erma n
capitalists are already bringing
their plans TO thwart the workmen
when the workers council law Civ
ing labor advice in industrial man
agement becomes effective.
As drafted, the law gives workers a
right to examine the corporation
books at the end of each year. Pre-
sumably such right would immedi-
ately lead to demands for greater
participation in the company's profits
when these were high.
Bat the big corporation do not pro-
pose to have their balances appear
big at the end of the year.
Form Holding Companies
Instead they will show the work
men either "doctored" balances or will
form sort of holding companies whose
business it will be to take the parent
corporations products at a compare
lively low price and to then sell them
at a normal rate On the books of the
fist corpol-ation-the books which the
workmen OF the councils will see
the company will appear TO have
made smaller profit than 1t did in
reality.
That such plants are afoot was
quite openly admitted by one of the
nations prominent industrial leaders,
and this statement was confirmed by
other men in touch with industrial
and legislative affairs. In fact, when
steps were under way to get the dem
ocrats to approve the book-examin-
alton portion OF the law, interested
legislators merely, told their dem
ocratic colleagues that they needn't
worry the, workers wouldn't be able
TO make case out OF any big cor
poration books"
Promoter Would Impress America
Part of the planned deception is
for the benefit of foreign countries.
OF course in the first instance it is
based on the desire of the big in
dustrials not to share their profits
extensively with the labors. But in
the second place-and this is by no
means minor consideration with the
German industrial captain the pro-
motor wants TO impress America and
other nations with the idea that this
new system of labor's participation in
management of industry doesn't mean
complete specialization. Americans who
have viewed the German industrial
situation and pondered particularly
over the law have gained the impress
sion that Germany was fast heading
to the point where the worker would
have practically all the "say" and--all
the profits.
The majority socialistsand among
them men identified with German
labor unions-believe in slow sociali-
cation. And the industrial captains
are seeing TO it that-law or no law
they shall not have their grip on
things entirely wrested from their
hands.
