UPPER SILESIA AGAIN
STINNES’S ACTIVITIES DISTURB POLAND. PARIS, July IS. Tin 1 “Matin’s” Warsaw correspondent states that there is great anxiety in Polish political and industrial circles over Herr Hugo Stinnes’s activities in Upper Silesia, where he has acquired numerous foundries and factories which could rapidly be transformed into one of the most formidable war manufactories on the Continent. Most of the Kattowitz mines have passed into Stinnes’s hands. [Provision was made in the Treaty of Versailles to settle the fate of certain portions of the German Empire by means of plebiscites, among them being Upper Silesia. The plebiscite taken in March, 1921, decided for Germany, but despite this decision, 1255 square miles, including some rich mining (coal and metals) districts, with a population of 892,000 were transferred to Poland.]
