AMERICA S BIGGEST CHAtlCE IN GERMANY Opportunity ' For " Industrial -y Penetration On Tremend i, ous Scale HINDERED BY DELAY IN SIGNING PEACE TREATY Hon. J. 0. Carr, Becently Ee turned From Germany, Dis cusses Industrial and Social Conditions la Vanquished Umpire ; No Hope For Them Until World Tarns To Normal The biggest opportunity that 'has ever presented Itself toAmeriesn busi ness men lies in the rehabilitation of Germany with American capital, de clare Bob. J. O. Carr, of Wilmington, head of tho legal department of Alex Bprnnt A Son, Inc., who bar recently returned, from... Europe., where he went on ft business mission for the Bprunts, 'ho'"r'tte largest cotton exporter! in the South. Mr. Carr andCbl. Walker Taylor, ipent yesterday in Baleigh. : Germany is bankrupt, stripped bare of every resource that one lime mad: It the greatest industrial nation on the earth, Mr. Carr sari, and until foreign capital is given a ehanee to enter the country and begin the rebuilding of its industrial fabric, it can only go from bad to worse until it has gone beyond hope. Its great manufacturing centers are standing idle, larking capital and raw materials to rnn them, and are being offered on ' the market at mere fractions of what they would cost to build in this country. - American Bnsineso Active. Scores of American business men have gone to Germany since the sign ing of . the Peace Treaty in Paris last summer, to look into - conditions, and have, seen tho opportunity for Ameri can initiative to take oyer Germany's industries at great profit and run them, but thoy are restrained from so-doing because the United States Senate has blocked the conclusion of the peace with Germany. Meanwhile the opportunity joes untaken, and Germany approaches nearer to final dissolution. 'An industrial penetration of Germany many- times more thorough than Ger many's one time Interest in the indus trial fabric of other nations is possible for America, Mr. Carr believes,' and that under very much wore favorably Circumstances than ever Germany had iu pre-war days, when she invaded every F nation bio i the gTobe with ler industries. Germany is entirely vilhng that Amer ica" should effect this monopoly of her industrials, realizing that in no other way ca.n she ever recoup the rrusMng defeat suffered at the hands of the al lies. . y-' . . i 'Mr. Carr predicted that within, a few Veeks an overpowering pressure wtmW be brought to bear on the Senate to effect an early ratification of the peace treaty which would allow American bus iness to begin the work that is before it in Germany. Technically the two countries are still at war. and any steps in that direction now wuoWbe made on too, precarious a ground to justify h move, The longer it is deliyed tho ii:fro Uncertain conditions in Germany l;rorop, and -the lorger it will take to (bring them to norm.il again,, if indrd jit can be dona without further, fight ling. ' ' J ... thinners Opposes. Trealy.. ' Cotton manufacturing industries ara 'Vpuarcntly the . only 'American forwi that are opposed to the treaty. It is realized that with German mills bought at extremely low figures, worked with low German, wages, cotton can be ship ped to Germany, manufactured and brought back here and sold for less than ' domestic products bring. "It 'a vwyprobabiy so, but It is the- only xraj that you'are -going to bring down the cost of living," declared Mr. Carr. , Internal conditions in Germany are ! chaotic, declared the Wilmington attor ney. The value of the mark has fallen from- Si-cents to about three cents. There is no gold or silver reserve, and the monev is worthless. The agricut- I iurni population are in fairly good Shape, made good crops, ana nave enough to eat, and are at work. There nr millions feathered in the great in- i dustrial centers that hiive done nothing since tne war. iney are oeginnmax-ve be hopeless of any return- of oppor tunity to make ft living. The men who tbaretorJerluiTff Hot the" money nor s the raw material to run them They wait for some turn of world affairs that will bring them work again, - No Ba Matertir-AvalUbU. "There is some little raw material flowing into Germany, but net much," continued Mr. Carr. "The condition f foreign exchange and tho uncertain ties of peace" mod 'thr iacl'of capital keep things stagnant. There have been nwybe iw,ow baler r esitoa shipped there, but that its notbirg compared with the annual consumption of several million bales before (he war. Their railroads are' in fairly good shape, save for the fact that most of their rolling stock got caught in the war sons when the armistice was signed." They .have no coal, and right after.,X-left there, they stopped all trains for ten days as a conservation measure. "American- business men are shown every courtesy, and nowhere ttve I ever been better received. - They are not bitter against w not ' against France, bur their hates of hngland surpasses anything that I have ever seen. They know that America is the only nstion that can save them from utter ruin, and they know that we are not going to do it as a charitable proposition. .They realize that they have got to have help, and are willing that America get the profits out of it if they get thoir liv ing and something to pay the billion of debt that hangs over them. SIMMONS FORESEES LONG :iLSTRUGGLEJU SENATE He Favors Interpretative Res . ervations As Compromise In Treaty Tight" Senator Furnifold M. Simmons, who spent yesterday in the city on his way baek to Washington, foresees a long and bitter struggle iu the Congress which reconvenes today before the Pesce Treaty is finally disposed of, and at best hopes for interpretative reserva tions that will not emasculate the treaty as s solution of the deadlock that has gripped the Senate for many months. The Senator was unwilling to discuss the probable riature of the compromise that is being developed by Democratic tenders to counteract the Lodge deter mination to kill off the agreement al together. He expects it to be brought up in the latter part of the month, after sufficient lime has been given for the completion of the details of the compro mise that is in view. As to Colonel Watts resTgnationrthe Senior Senator was of the opinion that he had done the wisest thing from a business standpoint to leave the Federal service. "Such companies as Colonel watts has organized have achieved not able success in other parts of the conn try, and I am sure that Colonel Watts' inconw -jrill.be several times as much from his new venture than he received as supervisor of intern revenue," he kJ. No steps have been taken by Senator Overman and Himmoiis for the appoint ment of a successor-to fill the place of -be-ree-Bly- -resigned supervisor.- The matter was left open by agreement be tween the Senators until - after the Christmas holidays. Ho declined to dis cuss the report that there would be no successor, ar has beea persistently rumored in these parts for some time past. The Senator left at midnight for Wahiugton, and expects to be present urTBe Jackson Dinner. Mrs. WiB-waaw"! see they are now experimenting with paving blocks made of peper."
