Essen, Sept. 6-(By A. P.)-If
Stresemann decides to make direct
overtures to France and Belgium
to end the Ruhr deadlock, regard
less Of what Great Britain does, il
will have the support OF an over
whelming proportion of the indus
trial leaders and of the German
population generally, provided Ger
man sovereignty in the occupied
territories Is guaranteed.
This opinion was expressed to the
correspondent of The Associated
Press today by a prominent manu-
facturer who requested that "for
obvious reasons" his name be not
mentioned. The manufacturer de-
clared that there now was no use
in hiding the fact that everybody
felt it was time to begin to do
everything possible tu bring TO an
end an impossible economic situa-
ton.
I'VE are ready" said the manu-
facturer, Ito discuss any sort of set
Element which would leave each side
with a reasonable amount of honor
Most Of the manufacturers and
heads of industry see there is no
use of further counting Great Brit
ain. We must realize thot if Ger
many. France and Belgium could
throw away pride and come to rea-
son we could reach an accord that
would be best for all concerned.
For our part. we are willing to
meet them halfway"
This manufacturer said he
thought the leveler heads on both
sides were beginning to realize that
the present situation could not last
without great loss to both sides and
intolerable suffering to the popula-
ton. He added frankly that it was
because the Germans thought If the
France undoubtedly could force
terms that the German leaders
wanted to begin TO talk business.
The manufacturer thought there
was a time when Great Britain S
formula for a settlement might have
been efficaceous if il had been tried
boldly: but that time now had pass
ed. He believed Great Britain did
not dare to try TO carry out hef
program.
There used to be time" he de-
clared. when every time the prime
minister of Great Britain frowned,
everybody else shivered. But that
time also has passed.
Two prerequisites to a settlement
of the controversy in the belief OF
this representative OF industry were
restoration of occupied territory to
complete sovereignty and fixing
once for all time, the definite
amount Germany must pay.

MARCINO ADMITS
He TOOK $4,000
BANK WILL GET II

Boston, Sept. 6.-John B. Marcino.
brought here today from Houston.
Texas. to face trial on the charge of
wrecking the First National Bank in
Warren, last February, admitted that
he took $4,000 in securities from
the bank, according to Assistant L.
S. Attorney John V. Sullivan. Mar
cino declared he knew where the
bonds are. and hoped that the bank
would recover every dollar, Sullivan
said.
Marcino explained his action. Sui
llNan said, by claiming that when he
took the securities he was op-
pressed in his business ventures and
Tor the time being had lost the use
of his reason"
Il fully intended to replace the
bonds" Marcino was quoted as say
ing, and my only desire now is to
aid inaheir recovery"
Marcino was brought here from
Houston, where he was arrested aft
err his expulsion from Mexico, by L..
S. Marshall Ralph Harvin of Texas
and Deputy Marshall L. II. Hutch
ms. Immediately on arrival he was
closeted for more than an hour with
the assistant district attorney, who
later reported that Marcino freely
admitted the act charged against
him but pleaded eXtenuating cir
cumStanceS.
Il do not believe a jury would
convict me If they knew the real
facts" he was reported as saying
Marcino was arraigned before
Judge Lowell in the Federal district
court late in the day on an indict-
ment charging him with aiding and
abetting Frank J.. Taylor. former
president of the bank, in miSa pply-
ing the banks securities. He plead
ed not guilty and after some argu-
ment among counsel was held in
So. 200 bail. He was held in Jail
tonight as the bail has not been pro-
vided. Attorney sullivan asked that
bail be fixed at 100000. but counsel
for Narcino argued that his iient
had surrendered voluntarily to the
Mexican government and that the
smaller sum was ample.
Originally there were two indict-
ments against Marcino. the 'ther
charging that he had aided and
abetted TAYLOR in embeZzling the
banks securities. 1t was announced
that this indictment had been
dropped. Abraham Goldman OF
Chicago, Marcino's father in-law. is
now awaiting trial on a similar ia
dictment.

csneya, Sept. 6.-(By A. P)-The
Storm over Italy's refusal to recognize
~. authority Of the League of Nations
=, regulate her dispute with Greece
,ives no indication of diminishing. On
n. contrary, it shows signs of devel-
,,nr into a political typhoon of the
A.. degree. Representatives of world
,,,,s, like Belgium, Sweden and Cru-
may went on record today insisting
r,on respect for the league covenant
and A being unqualifiedly convinced
,h,. italy should submit the contro-
,,rsy TO the league for settlement.
IN. cause Of world peace demanded
q, the very life Of the league itself
vas AT stake. several of the statesmen
declared before the council's session;
n the covenant was detied. precious
ruarantees for the smaller nations of
the earth would cease to exist.
The council again avoided taking di-
,.et league action on the Italian at
mud, towards the league, but endeav-
ored 10 advance a compromise plan
calculated to hasten solution of the
Greco-ltalian crisis through the col
hborstion of the League of Nations
ana the Council of Ambassadors.
This plan was put forward by the
3 suanish member Of the council. Count
ouinones de Leon. 1t was not adopt
al but! the council agreed that the
minutes Of today's session should be
forwarded 10 the Paris body for its en-
lghtenment
Signor Salandra, head of the Ital-
Inn delegation, absolutely refused to
accept all parts OF the resolution pre-
sented, which engased that Italy rec
cgni.e the competence of the league to
intervene. and even questioned the
right Of the council of ambassadors to
settle the question of general repara-
lion. which Italy has demanded of
Greece because Of the murder of the
Italian officers.
Among the suggestions made in the
Spanish proposal was that league rep
reseata,ives should assist in the Off
eial inquiry into the assassination and
that the Permanent Court of 1nterna-
,iersl Justice should decide the indem-
nifty Greece must pay Italy.
