WHAT A GERMAN RULE
MEANS TO THE PEOPLE
Conquered Territory Systematically
Kxploltcd Under tlie Ilathenuu
I'luii.
Washington, I). C., April 25.?
The systematic exploitation of Belgium
by the Germans under the sotailed
"Rathenau Plan" is revealed
for the first time to the American
people in the latest publication of
the Committee on Public Information,
issued today, entitled "German
Treatment of Conquered Territory.
It is based upon unpublished reports
i to our department of state, and
I other sources as yet little known in
this country, and presents an appalling
record of calculated German
greed and brutality. Much of the
most damning evidence is derived
from the oflicial orders and other
utterances of the Germans themselves.
The Itathenau plan was suggested
early in August, 1914. by Dr. Walter
Hathenau, president of the General
Electric company of Germany. It
consisted essentially in the forma
11iuiii uuuer ins direction, of a bureau
to procure an unfailing supply
of essential raw materials for- the
war, such as rubber, saltpetre, metals,
etc., both by purchase in neutral
markets and by seizure in occupied
territories. Secretly a more dastardly
purpose was pursued. "The
plan aimed not merely at making
war support war by contributions
and requisitions forced from the
conquered peoples. It also sought to
destroy the industries among the
subject peoples so that it might not
be possible to build up again for
some years, if at all. In the meantime,
the German authorities counted
upon their ability to capture the
markets of the world for their own
wares."
As an example of the deliberate
crushing of Belgian competition, the
case of the glass industry is cited.
i ins whs one or tne most nourishing
industries of Belgium before thf
war, and German glass manufacturers
could not compete with it in tht
export trade. In the words of tlu
head of the German organization ol
glass manufacturers, "It became vital
to the German manufacturers o!
glasswares that the Belgian manu||

ingly. the German administration in bod
Belgium was appealed to, an dit pro- j rest
mitigated "an order stopping im- j witl
portation, transit, and exportation" ed.
of these goods. Seizure of Belgian ter
trade secrets was another feature suff
of this typically German plan. enf
The extent to which Belgium has cau
been denuded of its wealth, war ma- fUl'
terials, machinery, means of trans- ma
port and man power under this
iniquitous plan is almost unbelievable.

1915, "were requisitioned and sent

wool, flax. etc. Furthermore, if n??t
the entire stock, at least the greatest
, number possible of machinery parts 2
, were shipped to Germany, to be. p,n
, used, according to German state- ?"'
ments, in making munitions which ,lui
, Itelgian factories had refused to pro- P01due."
Belgian draft horses, the best
in the world, were seized and sent to
Germany to be sold to German farm- 001
ers. A long list compiled from the
German official ordinances is given
of the articles ordered seized in Hal Pa<
giuni. It comprises some 1100 sep- ios
at ate items, listed under such head- i('a
ings as minerals and metals, chemi- an?
cals, machinery, food, clothing, tex-i^d
tiles, household articles, old mate- j Sei
rial, oils and explosives, metal pro- wai
I ducts for industrial establishments,, Bit
I medical supplies, etc. The articles .aro
range from tungsten steel to ground | ce"
stag. from electric condensers and a'h
conductors to printer's slugs and
matrices, from all grains for bread- so
making to oat straw, from both tubs j ner
to stair-carpet rods ami doorknobs, I oas
from old rags to the skins, horns, ^ei
feet, bones and carcasses of horses, nie:
calves, goats, rabbits, and dogs.
Nothing apparently is overlooked or cou
forgotten in this rufhless robbery of
the quivering victim. It is Gortnan ^ei
efficiency joined to German unscru-1 ser
lousness and disregard of all rights i,,r
on the part of those not able to de- mai
