Grave Charges
Against Russian
Red Cross Missions

Sofia, Bulgaria, Feb. le.--tBy n. ~
A bulgarian white book just issued
in reply to the accusation of the Rus
sian Soviet government that Bulgaria
hindered the Russian Red Cross mis-
sions in their work of repatriating Rus
slams alleges that the red agitation
in Bulgaria was similar TO the prac-
tees exposed by Secretary of State
Hughes in his recently published docu-
ment with regard to Russia.
The white book charges that the
Red Cross mission headed by NJ. ko-
retzgy devoted all its energies and
most of its resources" to espionage,
organizing Soviet activities in Bulga-
ria, recruiting. among the refugees for
the Soviet army and stimulating the
work of the Bulgarian communists.
The mission also is alleged to have
been actively engaged in eXterminating
rival factions among the refugees. The
white book" cites certain cases of al
legged assassinations. Figures given
from the missions report tend to show
Il negligible number of Russians were
repatriated.
Documents are reproduced to prove
that the Soviets repeatedly have re-
fused to permit the repatriation of So
00e Bulgarians held i'm Russia against
their will and in virtual internment

PREDICTS SHUTDOWN
ALL INDUSTRIES IN
OCCUPIED GERMANY

Paris, Feb. 10-FritZ ThySsen, the
German iudustrialist, predicts a
general shut down of all industries
in the occupied regions Of Germany
if present conditions continue, ac-
cording to an interview published IN
the Orefelder Zeitung, says dis
patch to the IIavas Agency from
Dusseldorf. The mining industry
ia particularly burdened by the
Franco Belgian agreement. TRysscn
is reported as having said. and the
metal industries are unable to COM
pete with the French and Belsians'
whose products, produced at low
or cost and under the treaty or
Versailles, are allowed to enter the
Rhineland and Germany without
customs payment.
Thyssen said the high cost of pro-
duction to the Germans had compel
led them to seek large credits and
"these have been granted them TO
such n large extent by foreigners
khat there is justification for the
Year that. sooner or later, foreigners
will become SO heavily interested in
German industry. that it will simp-
~ pass INTO tnelT COHtipi. 1hiS9'
conditions were improved and re-
lief granted. Thyssen declared. "one
can count on general cessation OF
work in all the industiCs.'
Time to catch their breath and re-
habilitate their finances, according
to Thyssen, must be given industry.
.Industrys resources" he added,
sare being strained beyond their
strength. The Reichs is also COM
hitting the error of trying to impose
excessive taxes on commerce and IN
dustry. It is certain the consequent
ces will be lamentable."
Nevertheless, according to Thys-
sen. a great part of Germany's rep
aration payments eventually can be
horne by business aft it is helped to
regain its strength. IF we are Civ
en- time to recuperate. resume work
and produce under normal condi-
tions." Thyssen is reported to have
said, lit would become not only pos
sible for industry to bear large
share of the reparations, but indus
try itself would offer willingly Ia
take a large proportion of this bur-
den upon its shoulders"
