planned system for leaving France
economically helpless for years after
the war.
In some cases factories and ma
chinery were entirely destroyed; In
others, parts of machines or whole
machines were confiscated and car
ried OF into Germany along with
the other loot.
1t is Germany's plan to utilize
these stolen French machines in
manufacturing goods with which to
compete with France in the markets
of the world, or even to sell to
France herself, since it was the Ger
manns' crafty scheme to reduce
France to the rank OF consumer
where she had been essentially a
producer. The same plan was fol-
lowed to a large extent in Belgium.
There is absolute justice in the
French demand for restitution in
kind, that Germany be made to re-
turn stolen machines and parts, and
replace from her own stock those
destroyed. Such policy will go fur
ther toward showing Germany the
folly of her plans than any mere
money tax could do.
1t would be manifestly unfair
that Germany should be free and
unhampered even in her business of
debt-paying while innocent France
struggled toward reconstruction for
years before she could compete in
the markets of the world.
OF all the wicked German policies
there is none more deserving Of a
punishment which fits the crime
than her destruction of the materials
of the Industries of France and
Belgium.

ARE WE AT WAR?

1t is said the president will re-
turn to help engineer the closing of
the present congress and then beat
1t to Europe again to help frame the
peace terms, all of which means
that peace is yet many, many weeks
distant. Meantime, the Poles and the
Bolsheyiks and the Americans in
Russia are continuing Ii fight. The
riot of bloodshed and robbery is un-
checked @ ft "
The withdrawal of thousands of
Japanese troops from Russia is a
mystifying move to we common peo-
Pile. But all such moves are prob
ably no more mystifying to the COM
mon people than to congress itself.
Our law-making body at Washington
is entirely in the dark. With the
possible exception of the president,
Col. House, Secretary Baker, Secre-
tary Lane and Postmaster-General
Burleson and Mr. McAdoo, no one
in America knows what is going on.
Even Senator Chamberlain, who is
chairman of the military affairs COM
mittee, does not know-or at least
says that he does not know-what
propositions are to be put before
the peace congress by the president
1t is probably well to keep all such
matters from the general public, bu
it would seem that congress, which
body must ratify any agreements
ought to have some insight as to tn,
nature of the proceedings.
Recently one congressman askeC
whether we were at war with Rus
sia. Strange, but no one could tel
him whether we were or not; yet ou
soldiers are over there right nov
fighting the Russians. If we are no
at war with Russia, why are W
fighting them? If it is the purpos
of America and the allies to eventu
ally squelch the Bolsheviki, VIII
not do it now and save the brain
of Russia" which the Bolsheviki ar
bent on destroying? 1t is asserte
that any man in Russia who display
any culture, dresses neatly and al
pears prosperous is instantly marke
for death by the Reds.
Meantime the casualty list of An
erican dead continues to come
from the vicinity of Archangel. An
the common people and congres
must resume their waiting game.
