HUGO STINNI,S

The death of Hugo Stinnes, prac- tically Germany's financial dictator, assumes an importance today, just as the Dawes plan for reconstruction of Germany is discussed, may have R decided bearing upon the decision made by Germany as to that plan. There is little question but that Ger many's decision would have been stinnes' decision. And the more faith placed in the economic soundness of the plan, the more it would seem probable that Stinncs would have favored its acceptance. For the man was. above all things, keen in his per- ception of economic wisdom.
 But his decision, if favorable, would not have been given for the sake of the individuals of Germany. He would have been swayed by his creed of belief in the propriety of the power Of united industry. He was interested in the welfare of the workers only because he believed industry would profit most from satisfied cogs in in- dustry's machine. If he accepted the plan because he saw in 1t economic safety for Germany, 1t would be for the purpose of protecting Gcrmany's industry rather than Germany's peo- pie even though their welfare de- pended upon the German industrial prosperity.
 IL was Stinnes who made the people go to work in the Ruhr after the French occupied that trrritory-and he made them work because, and only because, France had made it impos- sible for him to take any other stand and preserve his Euhr interests. His acceptance or advocacy of the ac- ceptance Of inc Dawes plan would have been inspired by the same mo- tive--namely 10 bring liability 10 Germany for tho sake of German in dustries. While Germany was crnm- bling. Stinnes vas building Up his vast wealth. For two years his has been the final word back of the govern mcnt: his has been the policy adopted. And no one knew just what his fcel- ing was regarding the reparatious payments. therefore no ono know what Gcrmans's policy would bc.
 But this much may be said. Those who believe that there is possibility of Germany's eventually emerging from financial distress in such way that the people of Germany individ- ualIy will have a chance to share per- sgnally in whatever prosperity may come. do not mourn the disappearance of Hugo stinnes from the leadership of the industria1Ists. Ii Is only as great. impersonal influence tirst we are able to ser and write Of him and. as an influence opposed 10 increasing the power Of The people. as such.

Why Not a Wake:

April 10, 1s.t. Editor, The New Britain Herald. The republican machine in New Britain met with fatal accident on Tuesday.
 Why not hold walcs? Not being a caucus the party voters generally might be invited. An enjoyable time could be had by all, not excepting, perhaps, members of the defunct. There need,be no ex- pcnse for coffee and sandwiches. The affair Of Tuesday should not be allowed to pass into the oblivion of forgotten history without some rec ognition formally of its significance. A similar function might be held in Hartford in behalf of the demo- cratic machine.
