Necessities Are Beyond Reach of German People Better Wages Than Ever, But Prices Much Higher —Factories Are All Humming. Lima, O., Ja,n. 20.—German work ingmen are finding it almost impos sible to support their families on the wages they receive, according to Leon Loewenstein, who recently returned to his home here from 3 trip to Europe. "Notwithstanding that wages are higher than ever before in the his tory of Germany, prices are advanc ing at a rapid pace,” declared Loewen stein. “Necessities of life are nearly out of reach of the common people. Trices advanced from 200 to 1,000 per cent In the last three months. "In the faoe of such economic con ditions, then* is no idleness In Ger many. Every factory that can obtain raw material is working. Ther^reems to lie a desire on the part of every one In the country to improve the national condition," Loewenstein said. Travel Cheap. "The universal opinion, outside of Berlin, Is that the country will not return to a monarchical government. The republic has endeared itself to the people, who feel that the German reparations to the allies should be ^p^id, but who frequently express the iierlre for a longer time in which to pay.” Low cost of traveling iu Germany is shown by Loewenstein's experience ir going from Cologne to Stuttgart. The trip consumed two hours on the fastest express train in Germany. A party of three made the Journey at a total cost of CO cents In United States currency. IMscusslng Industrial conditions in Germany, Loewenstein said: "Just as John D. Rockefeller is the controlling power of the Standard Oil company and Its subsidiaries, just so Is Hugo Stlnnes the leader In almost every Industry and business in Ger many. Stinnes in Control. "Stlnnes owns mines which pro duce every mineral found in the coun try. heads companies which convert the minerals into raw materials and controls concerns which make the fin ish products. He also controls the shipping on all the German rivers and controls the electric and telephone sys tems of Germany. “Every village and hamlet has elec tric lights—a think’ unthought of a few years ago. It is possible to talk ever the telephfihe from every town to any part of Germany. "Railroads, which are partly under i-itlqnes' control, run regularly. There senna to bo an Improvement in sched ules over prewar conditions,” said I .oewenstein. Cause of Race Hatred Is Told Mole d Sociology Professor Blames “Oppression Psychosis.’’ Columbus, O., Jan. 20.—The most si rlous menace confronting the white taco is "oppression psychosis," ac cording to Professor A. Miller. Ober l:n College sociologist, who addressed a local audience. ‘Professor Miller defined "oppression psychosis” as a mental attitude developed by a race, or class, toward nnother race or class by which It has been dominated. Pogroms, racial clashes, religious upheavals and other demonstrations of class hatred are manifestations of 1 oppression psychosis," Professor Miller said. He declared that it is the root of most of the seething hatred, social, racial and otherwise, which has transformed the world in to something like a slumbering vol cano which w'ould Uispaly violent activity at the slightest provocation. A disposition to unite in opposi tion to white domination is being created in the colored races by "op pression psychosis.” Professor Miller stated. He expressed belief that elimination of race prejudices and fallacies of belief would constitute a remedy, making it possible for all peoples to live together peaceably, lie said the colored races must be patient, and the white race must show more sense.
