Measures Taken
To Meet Menace

The governments Of the Allied
nations, and especially Of America,
and the business men Of neutral ma
tions, have not been idle = the
face Of this menace. Many meas
ures have been taken to meet it;
more are in contemplation. The
war has developed, it has forced the
development, in many countries, of
Industries which meet the German
on his chosen ground. 1t has
aroused the attention Of the world
to the danger. War measures have
gone far to destroy the German
machine outside of Germany itself.
Following are the leading points
which stand to the credit of the
Allies and of America in the coming
war:
The Saar Valley field contains 18
per cent of Germany's coal, 60 per
cent of her iron, and enough potash
to supply the world when developed.
If the entire Saar field goes to
France under the peace treaty, Ger
many will have been struck a Grip
pling blow.
America has developed a supply
of potash that is now able to care
for about 80 per cent of her own
needs, and that experts believe, if
given protection, can supply the
world in five years.
In England, France, Italy anc
America hundreds of millions in
German property has been seized
and sold to loyal citizens. The
fabric of the invading octopus has
been torn to pieces. In South Amer
ica, too, through the use of the war
powers, German business has been
badly crippled. But this has no
where been quite complete, and
there are great fragments of the
octopus left, ready to function
again. Nor has any adequate
scheme been devised for preventing
the prompt reconstruction Of the
machine, as fast as American or
Allied citizens can be tempted by
greed or duped by conspiracies.

war. Let VS. consider, in making
peace, what protection we can give
to the commercial existence Of the
freed nations"
That is Herbert Hoovcr's opinion
of the German menace.
The Herzog plan, stupcfying in
its frank rapacity, is simply the per-
fection Of the organization which
grew up during the wonderful Ger
man expansion Of the last few dec
AIDES, perfection toward which
Germany has moved fast during the
war and has now almost attained.
1t combines amazingly with the prin-
ciples advocated by leading German
Socialists.
The state is to take full control
of industry. 1t is to determine
what business and profits each may
have and to have power to assign
men willy-nilly to industries, to
hold them there under a military
discipline and prevent their desert
ing to any other job or to another
country. The whole machine is to
be under control Of commercial
general staff.
This staff, covering the world
with spies, is to decide how much
of each German product each nation
should consume and at what prices,
and how much of it's own products it
should sell Germany and at what
prices. Germany is to be the sole
judge.
If a country rebels, if the people
will not buy or sell to Germany at
the prices and in the amounts as
signed, punishment is to follow.
Germany will select certain indus
tries-like the dyestuff. trade or
potash fertilizers or vitality needed
medicines-which she can absolute
ly control and Of which she will
have carefully protected world
monopoly, competition in other coun-
tries being beaten down by scientific
"dumping." When commercial war
is declared she will refuse to sell
these protective products" to the
offending nation, maintaining the
boycott till the others industries are
crippled and she is forced to sur
render. The whole German COM
mercial world is to be assessed to
pay the campaign expenses, and
when the commercial war is won is
to be reimbursed from the heavy in
IDENTITIES to be exacted. Thus the
whole power of the German organi-
zation can be thrown instantly
against any single point in the
world.
This system is to be buttressed in
every possible way. German in
ventions are to be kept secret
others are to be stolen. Trade
marks are to be piratcd and ncu-
trails used to hide the German origin
of goods. German commercial trav-
cllers are to go disguised as Of
other nationalities. Surplus stockc
Of goods are to be created and held
for dumping purposes.
The transplanting Of German in
dustries or workmen to foreign soil
is to be prohibited, except the highly
trained scientists and engineers,
who are to go as spies, propagan-
dists and corrupters. A world prop
aganda is to he maintained.

~ ERMANY has already de-

@ TRMANY has already de-
r clared an invisible war
She had elaborately planned
TO do 50. Before the ink was dry
on the armistice-
German agents were in Italy
taking orders for goods at so per
cent below the market prices.
German agents were in Holland
and Scandinavia offering goods
guaranteed to be so camoufaged
that neutrals could sell them to
anti-Germans as their own manu-
facture and at cut prices.
German agents were in Spain,
guaranteeing delivery within six
months at cut prices, of any
goods, whether previously sold by
Germany or not.
German agents were waiting by
the thousands in Switzerland for
word to begin the invasion Of
Allied countries
Thus even before the old war
ended the enemy began the War
After-the- War. While the Allies
have been almost in panic over the
spectre of Bolshevism in Germany
the German trader has been at.
tacking Allied trade.
In this new war they have struck
not haphazardly, but with deep
preparation. They have well
drawn plan of campaign inspired
by Teuton cunning and treachery
They have intact a world machine
for aggression and propaganda
They have an industrial equipment
which is actually stronger than be
fore the war.
New-York tribune., 1919-04-27
Russia Offers Chance
To ReCOuD All Losses

In addition, as preparation for the
trade war, Germany has struck deep
into Russia-how deeply is not yet
known, for the "open" diplomacy of
the Bolshevists left certain unpub.
lished paragraphs in the Brest-Li-
tovsk treaty. But throughout Russia,
where even before the war practi-
cally all banking and production
were managed by Germans, German
capital has been and is to-day buy
ing up the industries which were
ruined by their Bolshevik friends.
More than 100000 German agents
are declared to be in Russia, where
all other foreigners are barred. Am.
bassador Francis declared publicly
recently that unless this were
stopped in ten years the world
would learn that Germany had won
the war and the Allies lost it. Now
the Bolshevik rule, and with it the
German power, is extending through
Hungary. No wonder the Germans
are not surrendering their Mittel-
europa dream.
The first weapon of all German
plans is propaganda. Many thou
sands of the Huns most skilful
agents have been interned, and to-
day the German schemes are still
suffering from lack Of their abili-
ties. When peace is signed that will
be ended. The great foreign espion-
age and propaganda system will be
restored almost intact, and particu-
larly so in this country, where there
have been no executions of German
agents and few sentences that
amount to more than a few years.
Bombers, bribers, liars, spies, all
will be back in their accustomed
places before our boys are home
from the Rhine. There is a plan ia
deport many Of them, but even dur.
ing the war our border was con.
stantly being crossed by known Ger.
man agents.
New-York tribune., 1919-04-27

unions have been formed to push
German foreign trade with a back
ing such as has never been given.
Neutral firms and trademarks
have been bought, subsidized or
coerced for Use as DISCUSSES.
Great quantities of certain goods
dyes, potash and probably steel
products--havc been gathered for
dumping, while raw materials are
ready to be sent into Germany to
start her mills or to be thrown onto
the world market to manipulate
prices for her benefit.
In fact, of all the Herzog scheme
little remains to be done but to
make the final concentration of
power, to organize the general staff,
so to speak, and to tighten the
screws of discipline. The Herzog
plan, in all essential features, could
be completed in a matter of weeks.

Old I77periaIist Gang
Remains in Power

Run down the list of the men in
power:
Ebert, the Kaiser's jackal for the
betrayal of Russia.
Erzberger, another Of that pack.
Scheidemann, an open tool Of i'm
perialism and betrayer of his fel-
lows.
Bernstorff, on whom no comment
is needed.
-, DR.. Albert, father of a million lies
on our soil.
And SO on
German socialism itself, suppos-
ing it should rule, has in it nothing
that would make it less willing to
strike for commercial Imperialism,
provided the proletariat got the
benefit. Not move has been made
to bring under control or to modify
in power or aggressive purpose the
great machine built under the
Kaiser for commercial invasion.
The German Socialist breaches a
new kind Of control Of the govern
ment, but nothing of govern
ment of liberty. He wants a state
that rules every detail of life even
more than did the Kaser's, a social
lied autocracy, popularized Prus-
sianism, but still the old Prussian
autocracy, only with ballots instead
Of Gott to select the autocrat.
