UGO SHINES, Financial
Kaiserl Germany APP
pears to have exchanged
political and military
1E<9S kaiser for financial and
. WeENA Industrial kaiser.
~ The Hotel Adlon on
F%hfIHa. the famous Inter den
Linden W literally the
new Imperial Palace in Berlin. On the
third floor is the SHINES suite and
here sits the man who gives orders
to Germany-and to other countries.
A glimpse of the corridors Is suffi-
Gent to suggest the extent Of Shines
operations. Here, day after day,
crowd of business men wait patiently
to be summoned to the presence and
be given their orders. Each has a
portfolio. Each has come, from far
or near, to report. They are the dl.
rectors aud executives of the many
and far-reaching enterprises owned
and controlled by Germany's new finan-
cial and Industrial dictator. The list
isr endless-newspapera editors bank
presidents, coal miners, shipping off,
Gals. politicians. statesmen aud what
not.
When SHINES appears in the corri-
dor II is TO rush through; he is al
ways In a hurry; those with him are
put to II to keep up. He acknowledges
no salutations. He brushes Interview
ers and photographers aside. Awe
falls upon oil as he passes. THAT was
2hnnnQ ~ thQv 0f IN n
passed.
SHINES poses as a sphinx. But his
power Is very real. 1t seems literally
true that the fail of the house of Ho-
henzollern brought about the rise Of
the House Of Shines. Under cloak
Of the new republic SHINES hides a
sovereignty that is not the less abso-
lutte because financial and Industrial
Instead Of political and military.
Those who protest against Shines
power in Germany also declare that
he is working toward consolidated
Central Europe TO be created through
economic domination instead Of mill
tary means. His general plan is said
to be first to secure economic re-
sources and the newspapers In the
various countries bordering on Ger
many. A chorus OF protest is heard
from the press Of Central Europe.
Control OF newspapers, not only IN
Germany but also In Austria, Czecho-
sloyakia and Hungary, makes SHINES
newspaper king, says this press,
which charges that he is now nego.
tiating with the owners OF scores OF
well-known publications all through
Central Europe. For instance, the
Kassai-H irlap of KoscIa, says nc be-
gan by gaining control OF the Deutsche
Allgemeine zeltung, after which he
formed kind Of amnlgnmation of the
following Berlin publications: Die
Post. Deutsche Tageszeitung, Deutsche
zeitung and the Taglische Rundschau.
This newspaper then continues:
HE bought the German news agen.
ey. known as the TeIegrafenunIon, ana
then one newspaper after the other
In large provincial towns came under
the control Of the greatest financial
juggler Germany ever produced. He.
bought the Munchen Augsburger Tag
eszeitung, and threescore OF other
smaller and larger newspapers, and In
order TO be able to feed them with
news, be purchased the Rammert tele-
graph agency, supplying news items
to 400 other than SHINES concerns.
Several paper and pulp factories were
secured In consequence OF the news
paper purchases among these being
the Henelell- Donnersmarck paper
mills"
