WASHINGTON', July 1’.—Economic j
demobilization after the war, the un
scrambling of the omiette made by
pouring all a nation's resources into
the frying pan of war, is beginning
to occupy the attention of Germany’s
statesmen and financiers. Hirst state
ments on what the public may ex
pect, made only recently and trans
mitted here in official dispatches, show
that the government of the Hohen
zollerns plans to retain a groat part
of the industrial control seized under
the guise of a national necessity and
that this control may he expected to
be used as a weapon against the for
cign competition.
"When tii" government declares that
a state organization will not tie neces
sary in all directions, lint that on
the contrary It is hoped that a great
part of the economic life will be left
free, then it is undoubtedly well not
to take too optimistic a view of the
^ize of this free domain," says the
Berlin Tageblatt, In reporting the gov
ernmeuf's plans. “Government organ
ization Is nlannod definitely only for
the textile industry, especially, and for |
groceries, fats and oils, hides and |
leather, and shipping spactf. The organ- (
izations in >|ucstion will be built on |
the basis ol tin* present war organ!

"The 'Wlrtschaftsstellon," as the i
peace org Miizatlans will be called, will
not be < i npulsory syndicates witli fi- t
nancial participation, but more in a t
way that all industries involved in a (j
certain district through their cooper s
alive a . lations appoint delegates, a
who In io members of the‘Wirtsch- n
aftsstelle In connection with the a
•extile ini' stry, for instance, the spin- s
Tiers, weavers, garment manufactur- 1
ers, wholesale and retail dealers, as j c
w 11 as the employes, would come into : n
consideration. The ’Wirtschafellen" | s
most in the first place take care of j
money matters, that Is. must divide s
the money which is at disposal for r
the enterprise in question. It should t
not do independent business, except
in cases where the circumstances abso- s
lately demand it Heal business might <
be transacted, as for instance with l
foreign countries, such as now the i
Ukraine, where it is necessary to take i
a common stand. i
" The shipping trade is probably that
which will have the freest possible I
position inside of this organization. :
The fact that the position of the Ger
man tonnage and means of transpor
tation in the transition period is en- <
tierly in the dark has enusod the ;
steamship ovvnprs to also be drawn
into the compulsory organization. This
should be handled by an office which
would seo that derm an tonnage first
and foremost is used for German im
port purposes.
"Wholle the least possible compul
sion will bo exercised with regard to
steamship companies, it is the inten
tion to make it very strict toward the
textile Industry. Tho reason lies
mainly in the great shortage of raw
materials. The plan is to establish
offices for control of the various ma
terials, such as cotton, wool, jute,
hemp, flax, silk, etc., and these offices,
apart from their main work of divid
ing the manufacture, should distrib
ute the raw materials.
"A simpler thing is with regard to
groceries, as there Is no lack of them
on the world market, blit rather an
overflow. The regulation should In;
in the hands of a hoard of inter
ested parties, under stale control, and
in each ease permit should he given in
order to prevent foreign firms enter
ing the German market by aid of in
laud illegitimate trade. With regard
to coffee and tea, a coffee import tin
ion and a tea regulation office will be
established in Hamburg. The rice or
ganization will he more severe, as the
Dutch mills are said to have amal
gamated. Here a state purchasing
agency will be formed."

STOCKHOLM, July —Germany's
aim toward control of the economic
life of Itnssia after the war is going
rapidly ahead. The plan is being
worked out through an organization
which has already spread to different
parts of the country.
Copenhagen has been selected as
leadquarters for this work. Control
las already been obtained to Copeti
l.tgen over a branch of a Chrlstf
tnht banking house by Privy Counselor
dendetsohn, the famous German ban
;er, who is said to be the motive power
n tlte transactions which are to fce tin
ier a neutral flag, German officials
leliove. according to information re
eived til Stockholm, that by this ar
angeinent. Germany'* risk will be re
uced and at the same lime safe
uariled against any consequence of
he war whatever the outcome may
e.
Germany - errorls to control tin i
ountrv are to be directed at first !

and against the Russian metal in-j
ustry and nmny private enterprises,
uch as railways, banks and steam
hip compatible. I'ossesseon by tier-1
uin interests has has been secured of
great number of shares of stuck of
nett concerns. Russian simrehoiders,
:boring under Bolshevik! threats to
onfiscate their property, have been
nly loo willing in many instants to
ell to (lie Germans at u sacrifice.
Attempts have been made also to
ecwre control of large banks in I’d
ugrad. Special endeavors have been I
lade by the Germans to get hold of
hares of the railway lines to the
onlit coast toward Turkestan and aj
ontrolling interest in the system of
he Troitsky railway. This line
caches from Zluoust, by way of Orsk.l
o Troitsk, touching extremely rich
nineral and agricultural lands.
Another important object desired by i
he Germans is control of the Russian
Ream Navigation and Trading Com
>any, w hich has its headquarters in
idessa Germany now has physical |
lontrol over vessels of this company
md is energetically working her way
10 us to have established economic
control over this company when the
var eventually comes to an end. The
Russian Steam Navigation Company
las a fleet of sixty-nine modern steam
irs, and ninety-two sailing boats, and j
iwns coal mines, Ifirgo shipyards and
locks.
Even at this date Germany has her
-yes on the Pacific ocean trade. Plans
tiave been set for buying the Russian
Baltic Mercantile marine to sail un
