Isaac Marcosson Tells Ad
Club Drastic Trade Curb
Is Necessary; Says Teuton
Has Not Suffered Enough

If the world permits Germany to
make the economic "comcback" she
plans to make, it will be only a matter
OF time before the war will have to
be fought over again, said Isaac Mar
cosson, writer. speaking yesterday ut
the Advertising Club. 1t was his first
address since his return from Europc.
Mr.. Marcosson would keep Germany
so curbed economically that she never
again would be in position to make
war on civilization.
"Onc of the tragic features Of the
war is that Germany has not beer
beaten badly enough" he said "Ro-
turning German soldiers are hailed as
savlors OF the German factories. 1t
is tragedy that Germany got 10
taste of the hideous despoliation of
factories and homes that She visited
upon France and Belgium. German
factories are intact and Germany has
vast amounts Of raw materials store d
IN neighbcring neutral countries. Ger
many, is ready to begin her economic
omeback.'
~ Germany is allowed the freedom
OF the seas that some sentmentalists
are uemanolng for her, she not only
Will be able to pay back all her debts,
but in one hundred years will be in
a position to start another war.
THE war is Won. but it must be
kept won. The only way to cure the
German is to curb his freedom of the
sea, make it expensive for him to do
business and never again let him
fasten mis- held on the business of the
world. Then he will not be able to
make war again"
Mr.. Marcosson said that he was op-
posed to President Wilson'S trip to
Europe.
"But while he is there he said, az
hope he will visit Belgium and that
part of France where the German has
left the mark of his devastating heel.
] should like, before he sits down at
the peace table, for him to see some
Of those ruined cities. | should like
for him to talk to some Of the survivors

ticularly like for him to see one French
soldier who, although bearing fresh
wounds, was made to work in a Ger

ROTTERDAM, Dec. 12. "Perhaps

Thus tho Berlin correspondent of

tai of Prussia. From the opening sen
tence 1T would be gathered that polit-

The correspondents proceeds to OK

row behind it the whole middle class
element "who in their hclplessness,
see no other means of salvation than
moderate socialism. The bourgeois
parties are greatly demoralized by the
shameful end of the imperial house
and the military catastrophe. They
have no leaders strong enough to Crap
pie with these circumstances, and
therefore are professionally satisfied.
Ebert and Haase have taken in hand
the building of a democratic republic"
The correspondent proceeds to ex-
plain that the government is severely
handicapped by the disunity in it's own
camp, while the extremists are seek

Hurd Takes Issue
With WheeIer's Stand
Against Boycott

Richard NJ. Hurd, chairman of the
no-German-goods committee of the
American Defence Society, still preach
es a boycott against Germany, despite
the opposite attitude assumed by H. A.
Wheeler, president of the Chamber of
Commerce of the United States.
Germany is defeated, but uncon-
quered," said Mr.. Hurd yesterday.
"She plans trade war upon the world
which will compensate for her mill
tary defeat. The safety of the world
depends upon keeping Germany eco
nomically poor. No modern war can oe
waged without vast supplies, and these
can be obtained only by a nation of
high industrial development.
"Sharp exception must be taken to
Mr.. Wheeler's statement as applied to
a boycott of German manufactured
goods. The sentiment of repulsion for
all things German which exists in the
Allied countries cannot fail to bring

MANY years before we admit them to
fellowship" is advocated by Colonel
poosevelt in an article entitled "The
League of Nations" in the January
metropolitan Magazinc,' issued to-
dsy. Excepts from the article follow:
"Without question there is a general
desire for some kind of international
srreement or union or league which
will tend to prevent the recurrence, or
al least to minimize the scope and the
horrors of such hideous disaster to
humanity as the world war which is
now closing In common with most of
nv friends | strongly share this feel
ng.
IF the league of nations is built
On document as high sounding and
as meaningless as the speech in which
Mr.. Wilson laid down his fourteen
points, it will simply add one more
scrap to the diplomatic waste paper
basket. Most of these fourteen points
could be interpreted to mean anything
or nothing. They we're absolutely true
to the traditions of the bad old di-
plomacy, for any nation could agree
to them and yet reserve the right to
~, y
posite manner to the Interpretation
that others put upon them.
"Let Us Face Facts"
Therefore in forming the league
let us face the facts, whether pleasant
or unpleasant, and let us show good
faith with ourselves and with every
one else. The first fact is that nations
do not stand on any real equality, and
that at this moment we are not so
treating them. A couple of years ago
Hayti and Santo Domingo were two lit
tie independent republics. According to
the principles Mr. Wilson has publicly
laid down they were as much entitled
10 the right of self determination as
the United States or France, and all
our dealing with them should have
been frank and above board. But in
practice Mr.. Wilson conquered them,
killed large numbers of their people,
deprived them of determination,
and kept the action and the reason for
the action absolutely secret. During
the same period, in dealing with the
affairs OF China, huge but pacifist
power, unarmed and helpless. Mr.. Will
son made his most important agree
ment about this peaceful republics
future not with China at all, but with
the Empire of Japan.
"As Mr.. Wilson practises only secret
diplomacy we cannot tell what his
Justification for these various actions
may be. But it is of course obvious
that it would be absurd to include in
a league of nations countries like
China, Mexico, Hayti and Santo Do
mingo on a make believe equality with
the United States and Japan. Anc
there are dozens of other countries
