value of the Krupp shares, which remain
to the greater part in possession of the
family, is not an amazing sum for present
day Germany the property must rate at
close to s1OO,OOO,OOO.
Indeed times have changed in Essen.
and the changes embrace much more than
the manufacture of such things as reapers
instead of guns That after all does not
make any difference in the darkness of
Essen's streets or in the volume of clouds
emitted from black mouthed factory chin
neys. AS a matter of fact the visitor does
not see with his eye that anything is much
different. The railroad station is the same
businesslike edifice, the shop windows have
the same dashing array of merchandise,
the trolley cars glide past with the same
frequency The same pail of dartre15
blots out the sky and with the same monot-
ony the sun never shines-or at least after
numerous visits to Essen one has the
memory of a normal impenetrable indus
trial gloom.
The change is mental Ask the work
and he will respond with a growl of fault
finding. Ask a Krupp director at his
mahogany desk and he will pour out a
torrent of complaint, as though he had
waited bitter eternity to give his tor
ment vent. 1t is not enough to quote bad
business" statistics from other lands to
either of them.
Krupp and Essen, working extra shifts
making money, working extra shifts in a
country deprived Of army and navy, are
symbols of a nation. Virtually all Ger
many is like this growing employee and
his director. Virtually all Germany is
ignoring to-day's comparative we'll being
aSta suffering in the anticipation of the
complete anguish of a menacing future.
This symbol of Germany which Essen
represents is useful in another considera-
tion. Krupp was the great patron saint OF
paternalism, and paternalsm was the
ideal of the ex-Kaiserreich in its treatment
of the labor question. About half of
Krupp's employees dwelt in houses erected

mes, Germany's war Millionaire and post
war economic genius, has accomplished
much with Germany's basic industries
coal, iron and dyes. His work lacks the
sensational side of Bertha Krupp's, for his
enterprises originally were peace indus
tries. They were transformed into muni-
tions plants in the war emergency. But
his sagacity was displayed in his speedy
acceptance of the inevitable after Germany
was beaten.
Here is the first story of just how far
this great change has come about-an IL
Illuminating recital of forced change of
front by vast working population and
the transfer of capitalistic activities un-
raralleled in the history of the economic
world. 1t is the romance of machinery de-
veloped to the nth degree.
How to be prosperous though peaceful?
1t was problem of getting the technicians
of the god of war to profitable tasks in
which Krupp management had no expert
ence. And as testimonial of its success
stands the latest annual report of the
Friedrich Krupp Aktien-Geseilschaft with
it's showing Of gross profits to the sum of
S.OOO,O 900 marks and with the resumption
of dividends after three lean years. True,
they are dividends in paper marks on
nearly uninfiated investment. Still, they
arc dividends, and as such speak volumes.
Peace work was by no means foreign to
the Krupp works. Yet it would have been
admitted seven years ago tnat Krupp pros
perity, which then was byword in the
language of German business, had one of
its richest resources in war appropriations
So that the pacification of the works was
a challenge to manufacturing and market
ing sagacity.
The ways selected to reach the new
source of revenue are best summarized in
a brief list of some of the substitutes
chosen for war materials. At present are
being manufactured in place Of:
Gun carriages. now auto trucks and Diesel
motors.
Heavy guns, now forged tubes.
Armorplate, now boilerplate.
Ignitors, now cream separators.
Gun turrets, now locomotives.
The New York herald., 1922-01-29

by their employer and rented as low rate.
Krupp's employees obtained bonuses
above and beyond the State pensions and
sick and accident insurance. They read
books drawn from a Krupp library, and
ate bread baked cheaply in a Krupp bak-
cry, and bought their groceries and cloth
ing in a Krupp cooperative, and saved up
their quarters In a Krupp savings bank,
and went to the theater under the auspices
of a Krupp cultural society, and went row
ing in the park in Krupp boats, and held
meetings in Krupp social centers. They
hardly drew breath which did rot con-
contributed. Essen vas the zenith of Ger
man industrial philosophy, the pride of
the KAISER and the model of modern Ger
man enterprise.
Herein is the essence of the change, that
paternalism has suffered setback. And
instead of rejoicing in the astounding sue
cess Of the company in adjusting itself to
new conditions the men of Krupps who
bear the responsibility for the most part
are SOTry tndt OlSdrmament mas come. ana
they can't go on making guns and turrets
and armor plate. Not that they made more
money that way (for they admit that in
comparison with other factories abroad
they are keeping up), but because guns and
turrets and armor plate were part of an
Order of Things, and the spirit of this
order was Paternalism. And in paternal-
istic Germany there were no reparations,
no such oppressive taxes 0ast year the
Krupp plant paid 147.O00,O00 marks to the
State), no threats of French occupation Of
the Ruhr and Essen, no workmen's coun-
ellis, no disastrous strikes, no pillaging
Red armies.
Excepting always the middle class which
is being impoverished all Germany is
more or less like this Essen with its com
parative prosperity. True, IL is not sound
prosperity, it gives no security for the
future, and neither workman nor director
knows what loaf of bread or a ton Of
ore will cost four months hence. But that

pany to compete in peaceful business pur
suits.
The control of the Krupp works to-day
is no difficult task for the Entente. For
in the Communists employed in every de-
partment the former enemies of Germany
have the most faithful aids. 1t is part
Of the creed of radical labor that the dis
armament of Germany shall be complete
and Krupps would not be able to diverge
from the principle without the knowledge
of its workmen. 1t happens often that
suspicious employees send warnings to the
Entente, and the company has been an
noyed at having so repeatedly to prove its
innocence. Only once have such alarms
been of service to the commission, when
the Krupp company was filing an order
OF new guns for the Reichswehr But in
that instance the responsibility lay not
with the company but with the War De
partment. Only one military job is still
on the books. an order for naval gun
turrets for Brazil, which is being finished
by special consent Of the Allies. These
turrets are nearing completion in a divi-
sion Of the locomotive shop, and look there
as out of place as locomotive would have
looked four years ago.
what Krupp might earn without the
restrictions on fuel and export, and heavy
taxation, can only be guessed, but it would
be much more than to-day. For the com
pany, despite its valuable coal mines has
the use of only 80 per cent. Of its own fuel
output. Its allotment from the National
Coal Commissioner Is 1000 900 tons a
year, and at full capacity the works would
require more than 100000 tons. The
deficiency is partly made up by lights, of
which 1,4O0 tons are consumed daily after
a transport of fifty miles.
The company officials refuse to answer
the most pressing questions as to the sue

as it we're, bought in. For instance. the
company is not marketing its agricultural
machinery. but has entered into an Inter
essen Gemeinschaft" with a lesser but we'll
reputed company specializing in this field.
Such is common practice, and is the way
many of the great German corporations
are absorbing lesser ones. Krupp makes
the machines on the patents Of the older
company and sells them through the sales
department of its new ward. In the same
way it is making headway with it's kinema
projectors.
The auto truck department is succeed
ing more with its own initiative, but with
a bought out sales department. And the
manufacture of medical instruments and
cutlery Is growing, thanks to the perfec-
tion Of "alit," steel not oxidizing under
high temperature. The locomotive de-
partment has benefited by the overhauling
of the German State equipment, and from
the order of 700 locomotives for Russia, of
which the Krupp company is delivering
goodly portion.
Just how much the Krdpp company in
Nesteu III TeHttluR lls departments Is not
disclosed, but 27, 900 tons OF machinery was
scrapped, valued at about s4,OO0,0OO, for
which the Government promptly paid full
indemnity. A cursory inspection of the
factory leaves the impression that the AL
lied Control Commission impassionately
destroyed nothing more than was essen
tial to fulfill its duty. 1t was done before
the reign of Gen. Nollet, whose measures
aimed at the Deutsche Works recently
aroused the protests even of pacifists and
Socialists. The British had the word as
to how much of the Krupp machinery
should stand. 1t would, in fact, need a
considerable time and a considerable in
vestment for the Krupp company to re-
sumo war work again. But the plant GER

and at wages that buy at least enough to
keep together body and soul (albeit with
out any leeway) is fact prima facie, and
one that the Germans persistently ignore
They may be carrying on, but the indig-
nifty! The outrage. And they curse the
Allies and glover in their impotence Not
that this spirit is incomprehensible or un-
worthy. Be it simply recorded as the
material success.
Deriving profits from the present Krupp
establishment means more than finding
new markets to replace the lost armament
business of before the war. Krupps ex-
tended enormously after 1914. At the peak
of it's production the company had in all
departments nearly 100000 employees, and
10000 in Essen alone. New factories were
erected to enable mass output of small
field artillery and shells, and the cramped
space the company occupied in the heart
of the city not sufficing the lands outside
we're invaded and Joined to the main
works, mile and a half away, by rail
roads.
These new structures have not been
abandoned to stand as idle capital but
are teeming with activity to-day. Only
a few of the factories of the main group
are closed down. In other words, the COM
pany is earning on its entire investment.
But this has been possible because Of
the benevolence to Germany of the world
market and the economic upset wrought
by the peace treaty. The Krupp company
has not been able to declare dividends be-
cause it's directors anticipated the market,
or manufactured products heretofore un-
heard of. or its inventors devised new ways
of filling human needs. The Company
simply fell heir to its share of the business
which the dislocation of the economic
world thrust upon Germany. It's auto
trucks are not cheaper than those of its
competitors. Its locomotives do not repre-
sent unprecedented genius in manufac-
ture It's adding machines. cash registers
and motor scooters are not bathing mir
acles Of modern industry. They simply
can be built more cheaply because the
country is condemned to an artifcially low
production cost.
This needs no proof, but If il did, the
mere fact that Krupp cash registers are
not great success goes to substantiate it.
For the cash registers are being manufac-
tured by men accustomed to the leisurely
and immaculate technique of an armament
factory where accuracy and finish are
worth more than time. And this technique
is not suited to the business needs of the
ordinary market. Rush and quantity are
required nowadays, and some of the new
Krupp enterprises will not be heard much
of until the lessons of speeding up" are
learned.
