STINNES INTERVIEWED.

THE ALTERNATIVE.

PARIS, January.10. Interviewed by the Journal des Debats Herr Stinnes said the Ruhr industrialists agreed to pay reparations for the Reich until April 15 after which they could not continue. He outlined the scheme. of deliveries in kind as a subsequent form of settle ment and advocated that the Reich pay German Mines and factories for deliveries under long term contracts to allied industrialists who would pay the respective governments therefor, such pay ments to be written down to reparations account, the Reich to ensure repayment to industrialists by allo cation of revenue fromrtain taxes. He was optimistic of a solution of all difficulties if the plan was adopted. The alternative to a sound Franco German agreement' was war,

"MAJESTIC" CAPTAIN'S COMMENT.

NEW YORK, January 10, Sir Bertram Hayes, Captain of the "Majestic," commented on the recent grounding of the "Leviathan" agreed with the testimony of Captain Hartley of the "Leviathan" before the Commission of Enquiry, that the stranding of the "Leviathan" was due to the narrowness, and tortuousness of the channel and erratic tides. He said the channel had too little water for such an unwieldy craft as the Majestic" and "Leviathan." "It is terrible to have to wind one's way up the bay against winds, tides, and currents, and continually dodge small craft which dart across steamers' path unrestricted- ly."-Reuter's American Service.

Chang Chien responding briefly to the toast of the guesta, emphasised that while the object of the mission was to acquire information, this was in no way con- trary to the interests of foreign manufacturers trading with China. He contended that China would be unable to increase her purchases substan- tlally and rapidly so long as her ability to pay there. for temained undeveloped. On the other hand the development of China's vast natural resources would mean a new era of prosperity for other nations. The British industrials had a reputation for fearlessness in facing competition and he did anf doubt that despite competition, these would be amongst the first to contribute to and benefit from the industrial development of China. The mission. visits Rochester to-morrow and thence it proceeds to Sheffield, Manchester, Birmingham and other in- dustrial centres.
