GERMANY MAKING A RARD FIGHT
TO SAVE HER FINANCIAL INTEGRITY
BY T. A. McNeal

AS / write this review, aside from
the natural worldwide anxiety concern.
ing the outcome of the Versailles ne
gotations, perhaps the greatest inter-
est is centered in the prospective har.
vest in the United States. Never be-
fore has the world depended so large
" on the United States for food as
now. In every European country there
is a shortage, but with an almost
childlike faith the people Of these
stricken lands look 10 the United
States as a country of illimitable
wealth and unbounded plenty. And
just at present this faith would seem
to be almost justified. Never has
there been such prospect for har-
vest, and teeming abundance appar-
emily almost assured. l have lived
in Kansas 40 years. In that time I
have seen the state stepped in the
gloom of crop failures. and dressed
in the glorious garments of green and
gold that some with reasonable rains
and the absence of destructive floods,
but never has there been such a pros
pect for profitable harvest as at the
beginning of this delightful June. 1t
is true there are still possibilities of
disaster, but the chances for an abun-
dant harvest largely predominates
over the chances for general disaster.

Our Future Tied With Europe,s

There is a strong temptation to
dwell on the happy conditions which
prevail in this country and ignore
world conditions outside of our boun-
daries. Unfortunately, if we speak
from selfish viewpoint, we cannot
ignore world conditions. Whether we
like it or not, the future of the United
States is tied up with the fate of ciyili
zation in general We cannot, if we
would, withdraw from Europe and say
that we will have no further part in
the settlement of the problems which
Immediately concern the unhappy,
war-worn people of that continent. The
conclusion of peace does, therefore.
most deeply concern us, for if the
world is to continue to be convulsed
py destructive wars we must inevi
tably become more or less involved

pathy for Germany in her humiliation
For Ally Terms Are Hard

1t must be said that the terms pro
posed by the Allies are hard terms
and if carried out to the letter mean
the permanent relegation Of Germany
to position as an inferior power
They mean more than that if carried
out to the letter, for under these pro
posed terms, the restoration of Ger
man foreign commerce would seem tc
be an impossibility and the burdens
laid upon German industry greater
than any people could be expected tC
bear. Not only must Germany give
up her merchant fleet, but she mus
continue to build vessels. for man,
years to come to supply her rivals il
trade. Not only must she give up thu
greatest sources from which she ha.
heretofore drawn her supplies of iror
ore, but large share of her coal sup
ply as well must be handed over t.
her enemies.

German Reply Able Document

The representatives of Germany
have presented their protest and coun-
ter propositions to the Allied Peace
Conference at Versailles. 1t must be
conceded IN fairness that it is an able
document, and is clothed in dignified
language. If we did not know the
utter disregard of human rights
shown by Germany at the time when
victory seemed certain to the kaiser
and his military advisers, we could not
help being impressed by the appeal
made by the present representative
of Germany. If we did not know that
it was the settled purpose Of the Ger
man government when war was deter
mined upon, to despoil both Belgium
and France to such an extent that
France, especially, would never again
be able to resist any demand made
upon her by her conqueror; if we did
not know that the German people
were promised that the spoils of war
would more than compensate for any
cost to Germany; if we did not know
that the German emperor himself pro-
claimed the doctrine of destruction to
the uttermost as the only one to be
pursued by his armies, we could not
at the present time help feeling sym

Austria Given is Days

Owing to the vastly greater interest
lin the peace terms offered to Ger
many, there has been little interest in
what is offered to Austria. Indeed, it
lis generally understood that Aus
Itria, as separate nation, naturally is
|extinct. 1t is to be split up between
Ia number of nations. One has to go
back in the files of the newspapers to
recall what terms have been offered
Ito the empire of the Hapsburgs which
only years ago was counted as one
|of the first class nations. About all
we can recall of the terms is that Aus
Itria was only asked to pay about one
twentieth as much in the way of in
ldemnity as Germany; that her army
must be reduced to $4,000 men, and
that she must give up all of her fleet
and yield to Italy in the way of ter
Iritory whatever Italy may see fit to
demand, so long as that demand does
mot interfere in the opinion of the
Peace Conference with the territorial
rights of the Jugo-Slavs and the
ICzecho-Slave.

U. S. Not a vIndlctive Nation

1t has always been the policy of the
United States to forget and forgive.
Always victorious in wars, we have
never pursued a policy of vindictive,
ness in time of triumph. At the close
of the Spanish-American war, decadent
Spain was helpless. We might have
demanded anything in the way of
reparation that it was within the pow.
er of Spain to give, but instead of de-
manding that she pay the cost of the
war, we provided, without cost to her
the ships to transport her soldiers
home from Cuba The Philippines
were forever lost to Spain when that
short war ended and, according to all
precedent, we were under no obliga.
tion either to protect Spanish inter
ests in the islands or to pay Spain
anything for the surrender of her SOW
ereignty. We did, however, protest
Spanish interests and paid to the I'M
poverished government at Madrid 20
million dollars for islands we did not
need and which have since been to us
liability and not an asset We might
easily have subdued Mexico and taken
possession of all its territory, and
there could have easily been found
justification for our action, but, it was
not according to our policy to force
our government upon an unwilling
people, or to crush by military power
weaker nation. That policy has not
only won for the United States the
respect and confidence of weak peo
pies everywhere, but commercially il
has paid.

But Germany Deserves II

That Germany deserves her hard
fate can hardly be denied by anyone
who has studied the history learding
up to the war and kept informed con
cerning the conduct of Germany while
the war lasted. However, the question
of greatest concern to the world is
after all, not what punishment Ger
many deserves, but what course is
most likely to preserve the future
peace of the world The crimes thai
have been committed can not be un
DONE The lives that have been wan
tonly destroyed cannot be restored
Much as we may feel that the authors
of this horrible calamity deserve the
most severe punishment that can be
devised, the future peace of the worlt
is of vastly greater concern than the
avenging of wrongs committed.
have still feeling that mercy is {
stronger force than vengeance, ant
that better civilization cannot bt
built On foundation of hate and mill
tary force.

Asks a War Investigation

Z. Germany asks for neutral COM
misison to investigate the responsible.
ity for the war, the commission to be
given access to all the archives of the
belligerent countries and the right to
Investigate all persons who took an
active part in the war.
Except in the matter of the German
colonies, it will be seen that Ger
many is ready to concede rather more
than might have been expected. The
demand in regard to the colonies will
mot be granted

Can't Control Germany Permanent,

1t does not seem to me that this
policy dominates in the conclusions Of
the Peace Conference. l believe that
better way would have been to have
demanded that the men in Germany
who were directly responsible for the
bringing on of the war should be given
up and appropriately punished.
would not have executed them, but
would have selected some safe place OF
banishment and have sent there the
kaiser and his sons, the military lead
ers, a few hundred of them; the civil
leaders who were. in part, responsible
for the policy that prevailed in Ger
many; also, the leading eucators in
the universities and other schools, who
fostered the German imperial ideas
and policies. I would have seen, too
that the Punishment was permanent.
would have restored to France what
was taken from her in 1870. l wouIc
have compelled Germany to make
reparation for injuries done to France
and Belgium, but I would not per
manently cripple German industry.
would give the German people to un
derstand that it was up to then
whether or not they should be restored
to world confidence. In short. do no.
believe it will be possible to perman
emily control Germany by force oi
arms. The people of the United
States will not consent to act perman
emily as indemnity collectors, and
France is not able permanently to sup

Great county and Great PeopIe

In a way, the world-tragedy has
Injured to the benefit of the United
States. 1t has demonstrated to the
world, and to the people of the United
States themselves, possibilities and pc
tentialities which even we, who are
accused and, perhaps justly, of being
boastful nation, did not suspect.
The most peaceful and unwarlike ma
tion in the world, considering our
size, we astounded every other nation
with the rapidity and effectiveness OF
our military prowess. 1t was accom-
plished, it is true, with perhaps un
paralleled extravaganza of expendi
ture, but that the people of this coun.
try could, with such apparent ease,
raise the funds necessary to pay the
war expenses, was the most astound
ing development of'the war, next to
the rapidity with which we trans
ported an army of more than mil
lion men to France. The United
States has within the short space OF
less than five years, become not only
the granary but the banker for the
world.

APPARENTLY, no financial burden is
too great for the people of the United
States to assume, and no task too
prodigious to be undertaken. And our
charities have been as great in pro-
portion as our undertakings in tusi-
ness or war. Never has there been
such marvellous organization for the
relief of distress everywhere. 1t can
truly he said that the people of the
United States have undertaken the
task of the healing of the nations Be-
fore the year is ended the Red Cross
will ask the people of the United
States for a donation reaching into
the hundred of millions in all proba-
bility-and will get the money. At the
same time the Protestant churches of
this country are engaged in cam
paign to raise " billion dollars for
the spread of their religion in a prac.
tical way throughout the world. 1t is
not supposed that this vast sum will
be expended in the old style Of mis-
sions, but in the practical uplift of
people sunk in the depths of poverty,
ignorance, superstition and filth. 1t
will be a practical religion of better
food, better housing, better sanitation
and general enlightenment.

4. Germany agrees to devote her en-
tire economic strength to the service
of reconstruction of the devastated
regions of France and Belgium. To
make good the loss in production of
the destroyed mines in northern
France, Germany agrees to deliver 20
million tons of coal per annum for the
first years and million tons per
annum for the next 5 years.. In addi-
tion to the coal,4 she agrees to make
deliveries of benzol, coal
tar, sulphate of ammonia, dyestuffs
and medicines.
5. Germany offers to put her entire
merchant tonnage into a pool of the
worlds shipping, to place at the dis
Iposal of her enemies a part of her
freight space as part payment of
and to build for them for
a series of years in German shipyards
an amount of tonnage exceeding their
demands.
6. Germany offers river craft from
her own resources to replace river
boats destroyed in Fance and Belgium.

No Massacre, SAYS Paderewski

Reports of prosecutions and mas
sacre of Jews in Poland have caused
great excitement among the Jews in
the United States, and all over our
country Jewish organizations and So
cieties have been holding meetings and
passing resolutions demanding that the
United States takes hand in behalf
of the prosecuted Jews in the new
republic. Now the president of Pol
and, Paderewski, issues an invitation
to the United States government to
conduct an investigation. He denies
the reports of Jewish persecution, and
declares that in Poland, Jews are CIV
en- equal rights and privileges with
other peoples. II is to be hoped that
such investigation will be begun at
once, and that it will be be.thorough and
impartial People of the United States

public of Poland. We want TO see it

Economically, We Dominate All /.

1t can be said truly that the United
States now occupies a unique position
among the nations of the world. 1t is
the greatest in influence, and should
guide the worlds policies. Speaking
collectively, it has shown courage
and unselfishness which should earn
for it the good will of other nations.
1t is the greatest in wealth-we have
become the worlds bankers. It is the
greatest in production-we must fur
nish food, clothing and machinery,
manufactured articles, and even ideas,
to a greater part of the universe. In
the history of the world no nation has
been so rich, powerful or so we'll
equipped. The year 1914 saw us a
debtor nation, owing more than bill
lion dollars to the money lenders of
other nations-the year 1919 finds the
world owing us more than Is billion
dollars, and our banks piling up cash
in untold quantity. II the coming
harvest fulfills the present promise;
our domination of the world in an
economic way will be more pronounced
than ever before.

of nearly 100 per cent in years.
In 1918 the value of our crops ag-
gregated IL billion dollars If the

the lands adjoining on the Colorado
side of the state line were not open
ed to settlement until about 1898,
When they were occupied and the
water diverted by the new Colorado
settlers, leaving the river dry below
