senting the cost of the Ruhr &C.

RADICAL PLAN OFFERED
FOR GERMAN PAYMENT
BY George White
Especial Cable, to The Atlanta Journal and
Chicago Daily News-Copyright, 1929
BERLIN, May 10.-Forty illion
gold marks ($9 $40, OO0,O 00) for repa;
rations can be raised in short time
by Germany if the government
adopts the plan suggested today in
the Vossische Zeitung by the indus
trialist Paul Litwin.
His plan is to compel all ind~s
trial stock companies to turn over
one-third of their shares to the gov
eminent for the purpose of paying
off the war debt.
IF the government acts on this
suggestion" writes Litwin, go 900,
600, 900 gold marks 4,240, 900, 900
:; would be realized of which 100000,
900 900 gold marks could be aprla1
to Preparations"
This plan, says Litwin would OF
course meet with great QlS1aVoi
among big industrialists like Slim S
and Thyssen, but he maintains thai
the government must adopt some
policy along this line if the repara
tons problem is to be solved
The Rote Fahne asserts that ne
rotations between French and A1er
man industrialists arc going on right
along behind the scenes.
Three great German groups,
SAYS the Communist newspaper, 'tht
SHINES outfit, the General Electric
combine, and the Hamburg and Bre
men shipping interests for the frs
time in history are united and are
conducting joint negotiations wit:
the French Industrial interests"
1t Is said in Berlin that the heav.
sentences imposed on Baron KrUpl
Won Bohlen and Halbach and hi
directors were a measure to fore
Krupp to accede to a plan unde
which 60 per cent of the shares i
the great Krupp works are to b
sold to a French group, leaving tn
Germans with only a minority in
terest.
So far Baron Gustav has fatl
refused to consider thi plan, bu
the French hope that Imprisonment
will make him change his mind,
