 Berlin, Aug. 13.-Just what attitude pr. Gustav Stresemann, the new chancellor, will take toward pig business', now that he is installed as head of a ooialistic-bourgeofs cabi- net is a question which is already actively agitating the minds of the politicians. They recall that Chan cellor Stresemann was wholly in debted to the influence and support of industrialists for his political ad- vancement.
 When the old political lines wore forced to dissolve after the revolution of November, 1918 Stresemann, then Reichstag leader of the old nation- al liberal party suddenly found him self marooned, as the newiy-crsated democratic party of Theodore Wolff refused to receive him into it's fold. Undaunted by the rebuff, Strese- mann proceeded to organize the Ger man peoples party which presently became known as the industrialist party because it was no secret that it's organizer had recruited the new party out of the ranks of the indus trialists' following and won for 1t their material support.
 The working out ofthe postwar problems gradually resulted in creat- ing d right and left wing of the party Stresemann being commonly viewed as the cham pion of the liberalrfactton.
 When the Wirth cabinet retired nine months ago the United socialists refused point blank to enter the coalition government in which the German peoples party was repre- sented.
 In Accord With Socialists.
 Just what has prompted the socialists to abandon their erstwhfle prejudice against or suspicion Of Dr. Stresemann's party in connections with the present crisis is not yet apparent but the promptness with which they consented to enter into coalition with 1t suggests to political onlookers that the new chancellor evidently is in full accord with the demands put forward by the united socialists with respect to the new governments fn- ternal policies.
 Dr. Stresemann grew up wholly in e"ii now he is reported to be on good terms with big business as repre- sented by Shines, the Kruups. Thyssen and others. The new chan cellor's outstanding political virtues as his friends see it. is his ''p,iable in meeting political faculty which freouent- ly shows itself in his speeches before the Reichstag. of which he has been a member since 1907.
 No Decision on Cabinet.
 As the new cabinet represents a purely partisan government it Is in teresting to note that the ,nited enter the new ministry with parliamentary asset of 17S Reich stag members as compared with a .otal of 1sS claimed by the 8 bour- seois parties with, which the social sts are now allied.
 The maintenance of Chancellor 1uno's passive resistance in the Rubr N all costs is the first pledge of Gus av Stresemann.
 Other plans in Herr Stresemann's platform are financial and economic itaoflization inside of Germany. no separation from the Rhineland, and m economic policy of liberty in the Ruhr.
 Nevertheless. he intends to open negotiations with France, according Q speeches he has made in the past ortnight. From what he said last week, he does not intend to sacrifice he national existence of Germany as whole for the sake of conversations with France, but he is willing to do everything to obtain just and fair 'ayments for France for the devasta- Ion wrought by German troops.
 He holds that the passive resistance. however. is just as sacred, national iuty as did Herr Cuno. Herr Strese- nann,s declaration of fhe naru rnr-
