GERMAN OPPOSITION
□ISM ANTLI NG OF VACTOR lES IN RUHR LONDON, Jan. 7. Attempts by the British military authorities in the Ruhr have so far failed to stop the wide circulation of a specially prepared magazine setting out the German case against the dismantling of factoi'ies. The Dusseldorf correspondent of “The Times” says, that 120,000 copies of the magazine are now in the hands of German workers in the principal iron and steel works in the Ruhr. They were purchased by the managements and distributed free to their employees, with the approval of the trade unions. Another 10,000 copies printed specially in English, have been sent •through the post and by oilier means to leading firms in the British and American iron and steel industries, '.gnd to others who, the Germans believe, favour the retention or the Ruhr’s heavy industries in the interests of European recovery. At least two American senators and several well-known people in England have received copies.
