BIC TRADE IN AUTOS
PUT AGAINST CLAIM
OF GERMAN POVERTY

Despite Germany's alleged poverty
1t is interesting TO note the great
increase in privately owned automo-
biles In Germany during the past
year over the figures for 1921.
July 1. 1922, according to figures
just issued in Berlin and forwarded
to the Department of Commerce by
Commercial Attache Charles T.. Her
ring, there were 165.315 automobive
vehicles of all kinds in Germany,
compared with 11S.S40 on July ]. 1921.
The increase In the year amounted
to 39.3 per cent.
Out of this total S2.505 were tour
ing cars, 43.5S7 motor trucks, and
37,941 motor cycles. The remainder
were other types of motor-run vehi-
cles, such as tractors, street clean
ing and fire-fighting apparatus, etc.
The 1922, census Of automotive vehi-
cles shows a ratio of one automotiye
vehicle to each $50 of population. or
one touring car to each 120. The
corresponding ratio in 1921 was one
to 500 and one to 1000, respectively.

ESSEN, January 13.-M Coste,
French inspector general of mines
and head of the Industrial mission in
the Ruhr, today assented In principle
to the German mine owners demand
for cash payments on coal deliveries
to France and Belgium, and the own
ers expressed their readiness to re-
sumo deliveries Monday IL satisfac-
tory terms were arranged with the
individual mines.
The mine owners demand so per
cent advance cash payments every
ten days. the balance being payable
within three days after accounts for
deliveries are rendered.
The situation was discussed at a
conference at which approximately
twenty-five directors. representing
twelve mines on both sides of the
Rhine, were present, as well as the
allied commissioners and civilian
engineers. No military officers at
tended the conference.
Agree ON Cash Payments.
Obviously referring to the removal OF

sitting by asking why the mine opera.
tors had changed a system OF long years
standing. The question was not am
swered and Fritz Thyssen, brother Of
August Thyssen. speaking for the direc-
tors present. called attention to Gen.
Devigne's announcement at yesterday s
conference that the orders of the Ber-
lin government no longer applied 10 the
Ruhr district. Herr Thysseu declared
that the German law still governed the
Ruhr, and as the federal commissioner
had ordered that no more payments
should be made by Germany for repara-
tions the coal mines could not make de-
liveries.
NJ. Coste replied that he was not en-
powered to discuss the question OF rights,
and demanded resumption Of the ship
ments.
Herr Thyssen said it would re- i'm
possible to make deliveries, unless pay
ments were provided for the workmen's +
wages, but the Germans were ready to
discuss deliveries on cash payments
NJ. Coste said they would be paid
for ''as heretofore" and a long dis
cussion on the significance of this
phrase enSued. The directors then
presented a statement in which they
announced their readiness to make de-
liveries to France and Belgium il

sociation, providing no conditions to
the contrary were prescribed by the
federal coal commissary.
Deliveries Planned.
NJ. Coste agreed in principle to cash
payments, but insisted that the past
deficit in Germany's deliveries must
be made up.
A second statement by the directors
was then presented, declaring that
the marking of the deficit in deliver
les was out of the question. 1t was
explained that this was due TO the
removal of the syndicate. and indiyid-
udl mines could not enter into n
wholesale delivery agreement. II was
added that because Of the occupation a
reduction In the output of the mines
must BE- looked for.
The directors statement announc-
ing the above terms of payment ex-
pressed readiness to begin deliveries
Monday IL satisfactory arrangements
could in the meantime be made by
the commission with the mines. Thus
IL appears that the commission's next
step will be negotiations with the
owners individually with reference tq
specific agreements.
Deny Pay VIII Stop.
The population of Essen continues
quiet, while the extension of the
French occupation is grdoudIiJ plo
ceeding. a majority of the rooms in
the leading hotels and the whole or
part of six schools in the greater
city have been requisitioned by the
French and Belgians, who have also
been provided on demand with quar-
ters for the establishment of French
bookshop.
Pay day at the krupp works passed
without incident. but the workmen
warmed to report in circulation
TO the effect that next Saturday
when the first full week of work
under the occupation will be COM
pleted. no money would be forthcom
ing, the management referring then,
to the French mission for their
wages The krupps MANAGEMENT
late today denied any such intention.
There also has been much propa-
ganda among the working classes
that the French would increase the
working day to ten hours. Gen.
Degouette, however, issued pro-
clamation today informing the coal
miners and working men generally
that the French occupation authori-
ties have absolutely no intention of
interfering with the eight-hour day.

II goes without Saying that the ma

restore allied solidarity as to the
course to be followed with respect to
Germany depends almost entirely on
the turn of events in the Ruhr re-

all reports reaching the Washington
government from Its own agents

There can be no question that fears
of the grayest nature have been en-

RUENOS AIRES, January 1S.-The
fact that Canada has not been in
vited to participate in the Pan Amer
lean conference is criticized by La
Nacion in an editorial article today
The exclusion of the country that had
done so much toward the common
progress Of the American nations Is
unjust, the editorial argues, particu-
larly in view of the fact that Canada
is engaged in drawing closer her re-
lations with Latin America.
"The legal scruple" that Canada
lacks sovereignty is no good reason
for barring her out, contends the
newspaper. which notes that Canada
is a member of the league of ma
tions and also participated in the in
ternational labor conference in Wash
ington in 1918 and had delegates in
the Washington armament confer
ence last year.
The term Pan-American," it ar
gues, Is hostile to any omission and

Should France determine 10 call an

from Paris, invite American partici-
patton interest will center in the
American attitude. In advance Of
such an invitation, 1t only can be re-
iterated that the administration has

jected before the breakup OF the pre-

that there was strong inclination here
to join in the conference, provided it
