KRUPS WORKS
BRITISH PLAN FOR PEACE OUTPUT LONDON, July 28. “The British authorities in Germany have abandoned the plan to raze the vast arms centre of Krupps., which once employed 68,000 workers. Instead, they propose to convert all suitable works to peace production,” says the Berlin correspondent of the Daily Express. “The Allied Control Council is considering plans for establishing light industries at Krupps for the production of electrical and chemical goods, household utensils, and agricultural machinery. German war armament specialists, who once made guns, may henceforward, under British expert guidance, make kitchen stoves. “The step was taken not only to increase production to pay for imports, but also to put goods into the shops and give the Germans an incentive to earn more. Sixty per cent, of German workers in the British zone earn less than £2/10/- a month, and many women and children who have been expelled from eastern Germany subsist on from 7/6 to 12/6 a month.”
