BERLIN, October 10.-PoliticaI Ber-
lin is like Il sensitive barometer reg
every rumor in Paris. Today's news
that France had refused to negoti-
ate with the German government con-
corning reparat'ons endangered
Chancellor Strrsesmanns Dictator
ship law. which had passed its second
reading and seemed likely to obtain
the necessary majority on Thursday.
The fact is that the German gov
crnmcnt has been so weakened III
nancially. politically and militarily
as a result of the Ruhr struggle. that
1t may be said to exist only by the
courtesy OF France. France--ofiiciaIly
or semi i-officially-now insists that
repara tionS deliveries be Immediately
resu1nrd hN the industrialists. whom
the Reich must compensate. But the
Reich cannot lay out the necessary
money without further depreciating
the mark. To stabilize the mark it is
ful negotiations with France. but
these are refused until payments be-
gin. Thus II vicious circle is complet-
ed--iermany must pay before she is
allowed to become stable, and She
! must become stable before she can
pay.
Government Loses Power
v.
ment Is being deprived OF its autho-.
ity by the direct negotiations Of the
French with the German Industrial
lists on political and economic mat
tiers. while refusing to negotiate with
the Stresemann government.
Thus, the industrialists, according
to the view here, can evade tax ohli-
cations by paying their taxes direct
| ly to the French; can eyadc German
export and price laws by receiving
they can have French backing In de-
mandiug that the impoverished Ger
man government reimburse them for
reparationS deliveries.
The real character of the recent
agreement between the French and
the Otto Wolff Konzern still is vague,
but the view adopted here Is that it
represents mutually profitable
trade. whereby the French receive
reparationS goods and are able to pre-
vent German dumping through their
control OF export licenses, while the
Wolff Konzern receives permission to
resume exports. Thus. the Industrial
lists are able to completely defy the
0orman government.
Government Weak.
The governments military weakness
is the natural result of its inability
to create tolerable living conditions
for the people, while certain rich
people can afford to spend large sums
for the support of irregular military
bands.
Finally. the power of France over
the whole daily life OF the people Is
enormous. For instance. If France
takes directly from the Ruhr all the
coal she wishes, leaving insufficient
for Germany, the nation must then
import coal, thus raising prices above
the world level. increasing production
costs throughout Germany, crippling
export, causing more unemployment,
further delaying the Introduction of
a stable currency and making the
distribution of food increasingly un-
certain and expensive with the ap-
proach OF winter.

Interest here centered on whether

whether they intended to scatter up

Perth Amboy evening news., 1923-03-12

Mayor Wilson this morning got in
touch with the police, gave instruc-
tions to have the report of the land
ing of booze from boats in this city
investigated and then conducted a
personal survey of the situation. At
noon the mayor said he had been
unable to secure any facts or infor-
nation which would corroborate the
reports published by the New York
press that thousands of cases OF
booze were being landed along the
shores of Raritan Bay, Perth Amboy
having been mentioned as one of the
places where the rum runners were
most active.
There is no reason in the world
why the New York newspaper men
must pick upon Perth Amboy ana
endeavor to give it black name as
q rendezvous of rum runners when
the reporters would have little diff
Guilty in find much greater activity
along these lines if they visited
the Long Island shore. The shores
of Staten Island furnish even a more
favorable landing place than Perth
and South Amboy. ! have looked
into the reported landing of booze
in this city from rum boats and have
not been able to secure any authen-
tic report of these activities"
Perth Amboy became quite prom
jnent during the activities of auto
mobile bootleggers, Mayor wilson
said, but that is no reason why the
New York newspaper men should
continue to rub It in," now that
large quantities of liquor are being
brought in from the rum Heet whlch
is anchored off the Atlantic coast.
INQUIRY at the local customs
house today failed to reveal the &C
tiyities of any rum boats over the
Weekend, Custom officials ex-
pressed their belief that some Whls-
key is being landed in Perth Am
boy, but the quantity, they say, can
not commence to compare with the
number of cases New York papers
report being landed.
In order to land 5000 cases OF
iswhiskey in one night, custom OIL
Gals point out, it would be neces-
sary to use 120 boats having a ca
pacity of fifty cases each. When
the booze is unloaded from the boats
it would take a similar numper OF
t-ucks TO cart the stuff away, GUS
toms men say, and they express
their doubts as the existence OF 1zU
boats havin q fifty-case capacity IN
these waters.
The approach to Raritan bay was
patroled Saturday night by three
fast boats, it was learned from the
customs men today, and none OF
these reported any booze running
activities. Owing 20 the stiff breeze
last night, customs men said, smal
boats would not venture out to the
Hbooza fleet"
