FARlS, May 3.-Germany plans a
the last moment before the expiration
OF the Allied ultimatum to nut a new
! Cabinet in Office, accept the Londor
terms Internationally and then set out
to win France away from her alliance
with Great Britain, according to re.
ports current here tonight.
Word received at TIE French Foreign
OMce indicates that DR.. Gustav Strese-
mann, one of the leaders of the mon
archistic German Peoples Party. will
succeed Konstantin Fehrenbach as
chancellor. 1t is understood that
Stresemann is prepared to accept the
Allied ultjmatum without protest.
and that he, as the representative Of
the industrial groups of Germany, will
attempt to placate France by giving her
part in German industries and seek
ing eventually to build up on the Conti-
| nent a Franco-German industrial policy
that will exclude Great Britain.
Stinnes's Influence Active
The German Cabinet is again report
ed totterlng. Behind the move to force
its overthrow and put Stresemann in
power in time to save Germany from
further invasion is Hugo SHINES, coal
baron, who is plotting the Franco Ger
man industrial eptente.
Although there might be some sem
timent among some French industrial
leaders to favor this policy, in view of
the world supremacy that the COM
bination of French and German coal
and iron resources might bring, the
prevailing belief is that war hatred Of
Germany is far too strong still to per-
nit the realization of any such plan
Tor long time to come.
On the eve Of Premier Brands re-
fleets the seripusness of the era on
which the Allies are entering with
the dispatch Of the ultimatum to Ber-
lin.s France. of course, would have
preferred an invasion Of the Ruhr to
the administration of German finances
by the Allies, but sees great possi-
bilities in the present situation.
Bailly in the Intransigeant tonight
raises the question whether it wouldn' t
be better to break with the system Of
international alliances rather than ac-
cept guarantees that are doubtless
illusory." ssIf the debt commission
serves like the Nollet disarmament COM
mission" he continues, "we will be well
served. Moreover, why imagine that a
great country, conscious of it's power,
will support for thirty years. as il it
were poor Turkey, the foreign control
of its finances and budgets. Our COM
missioners will be thrown out of Ger
many inside of five years, and the war
which the Utopians Of Washington and
London pretend to have avoided wilt
recommence."
Control Held Inadequate
The semi-official Temps says:
"It will be insufficient to decree the
control Of German finances. 1t will be
necessary to organize and execute such
control. The task, which is extremely
complicated, is one which German Off
cials, taxpayers. exporters and inn
porters surely will not facilitate. The
resistance and the deceptions which
Germany can oppose against the MILF
tary controllers are nothing compared
to the embarrassment they can cause
the controllers charged with the
verification of their tax and customs
reports"
