STINNER'S COMMANDING FIGURE
ROMANTIC RISE OF HIS PARTY.
LONDON, 9th June.
The Daily Chronicle's Berlin correspondent says a- romantic feature of the elections is the growth of the so-called Popular Party, which is identical with the old National Liberals, raised and financed by Herr Hugo Stinner, who now controls sixty-two newspapers. Herr Stinner is far and a.way the wealthiest and most powerful German, and is probably worth a thousand million marks. He made enormous fortunes out of war contracts, and has been spending liberally to build up a new party on the ruins of the National Liberals, who collapsed with the monarchy. . His name is now in .everybody's moutnT Some think he is the great man whom Germany is seeking as the saviour of the country. The Berlin newspaper Freiheit states that the German workers are bent on following a clear Socialistic policy, and never again will they be used as a tool by the bourgeois parties.
