Industries
May Assure
Ruhr Peace
Americans Predict Settlement
of Preparations Problem
Will Be Completed by
Reopening Business.
Radicals Only Obstacle
BY MARK SULLIVAN.

London. May 81. - The judgment
of some Americans, who looked care
fully into the Ruhr situation, is that
ultimately it and the whole repara
ton problem will be solved by an ar
ransement whereby the Ruhr indus
tries will be permitted to resume nor
NAL functioning and, out of the prof
its. one portion will go to the Ger
man owners, while the other will be
distributed among the allies as repa
rations.
This would have the advantage OF
giving everybody concerned finan
cal motive in promoting the great
est possible expansion of the Ruin
industries. 1t would have the add
tlonal advantage of permitting pay
ment of reparations through an even
flow of dividends over a series OF
years from a normal industrial unit
composed of the Ruhr industries
lind the French iron ore from Al
saceLorraine.
Must Retain Power.
This judgment of some Americans
Is based on the consumption that the
1ndustrialists, as they are called. will
continue to have as much power in
Europe as they have in the affairs OF
France, Belgium and Germany. The
nearest American term for this group
would be "big business. For the pres.
ent, they are extremely powerful In
all three countries, and in Germany
they have stepped into the places OF
power formerly occupied by the kai.
ser and the military junkers
In all three countries, these indus.
trialists are extremely embarrassed
by the paralysis in the Ruhr. In
France, a fourth of the blast furnaces
are out of commission. In Belgium,
the embarrassment is worse. In
Germany, it is worse yet.
The belief is. however, that Ger
many may b. able to endure the
strain rather longer than France
Certainly Germany is determined to
prove that German labor will not
work at the point Of a bayonet-a
fact which France and Belgium
proved when the situation was re-
versed.
Radicals are Menace.
If the industrialists in these coun-
tries should come to have less power.
Hnd if radical labor should come to
have moce. then we might see an
outcome Of the Ruhr episode very
different from the notion of an in
ternational economic super-state.
1t would seem as IL Germany, which
has initiated Russia to the extent OF
wiping out all internal debts and OBJ
legations by means of printing paper
money. might not hesitate TO imi.
tate Russia to the further extent OF
evading or repudiating her external
obligations. But, however plausible
that may sound in theory, there is
very little opinion here that expects
Germany to go communist or other.
wise blow up" The whole tendency
Is to expect a solution of the Rubr
problem through an agreement
among the industrialists.

claring that the farmers troubles

the keynote of a gettogether move
ment aimed at the bringing about of
closer harmony and better under
standing between the three great in
terests of the country, the railroads.
the farmers and the business men.
which will ultimately result in the
solution of some Of the country s
most difficult problems. He empha-
sized the fact that the railroads are
TO be considered as a business man, "
a unit whose interests are identical
with those OF farmer and shipper, CO
operating closely with them to bring
about these solutions.
Addressing more than 5000 people
at the first big triumvirate meeting
of the sort 10 be held in Nebraska
at Union Pacific day here Mr.. Gray
also said that the Union Pacific was
vitally interested in seeing Nebraska

and most successful of the nations
agricultural states. He made sug.
gestions regarding the development
of dairy and poultry industries and
the Improvement of reclamation work
as further assets toward accomplish
ing this end.
viii Aid Prosperity.
The Union Pacific feels that get
together meetings such as this said
Mr. Gray will do more toward
realization that their interests are
identical. bring real unity between
them and thus increase that prosper
ity than any other one thing"
Representative farmers. business
men and railroad officials here all
consider the celebration itself and
tho enthusiasm with which its get
together keynote was received as
highly significant and Indicative of
even closer relations affecting the
