KRUPP-OWNED GERMANY.
The purchase of the Weser Zeitung by the Krupp interest, says the Berliner Tageblatt, ought to awaken the German people to a sense of a very serious danger which threatens them. The Krupp capitalist is invading every branch ot industry, and if something ia not done the German will find himself completely enslaved. The campaign to control public opinion is not only confined to purchase of the Liberal and Independent Dress, but tlie people will also be reached through the film. “This activity is being carried out by the German Animated Picture Company,” says the Tageblatt, which also declares that it is reported Horn many parts of Germany that ■■police officials are acting as agents for the company, bringing pressure to bear on cinema proprietors to replace the productions of other film companies with those ot the German Animated Picture Company.” "In one town,” the paper declares,
“the police granted a licence for the holding of a children’s entertainment only on the condition that the Krupp Company’s were shown exclusively.” That the company is almost entirely Krupp-owned the paper proves by giving the names of the companies subscribing to the shares. They ara all Krupp concerns.
