By ARTHUR w. DUNN.

Neutrality-suspicious. several weeks
there has been In circulation something
that comes very near being propa-
ganda. but 1t may simply be the result
of more recent investigations Of con-
ditions in Europe. Stories are told In
various ways and at various times
about the condition of Germany and
her Inability to pay any large indem-
nifty. Then these statements are fol.
lowed up with others to the effect that
II will not do TO boycott Germany and
that she must have an opportunity TO
secure raw materials and that her
products must be bought by other
countries, else her people will starve
and bolshevlsm will take absolute con-
troll. Finally these stories eliminate
in this sort Of scare:
All eastern Europe. II is said. is bad

ward bolshevism. and there is grave

er of that vast territory comprising
Germany, Russia, Austria, parts Of
Turkey and most of the Balkans. This
would mean another war and on a
much greater scale and of far more
disastrous consequences than that
which has Just been fought.
In this connection II is said that
one reason why the president was so
anxious to get $100,000,000 to feed the
starving peoples of Europe was for
the purpose of stopping the spread Of
bolshevism. Possibly this carries out
the idea voiced by Senator vardaman
of Mississippi, who says that bolshe-
vism is a disease caused by hunger.
II may be that the hungry hordes Of
Europe are going 10 be a great menace.
but II is impossible for them to become
as great menace as was Germany.
The men who are putting forth these
ideas admit that there Is still a strong
sentiment In the countries lately nj
war with Germany to make that coun-
try pay, and pay heavily, for the in
juries she inflicted upon Belgium and
France and the enormous expense she
caused all the nations In the great
war. They also say that the sentiment
In the United States is stronger even
than in Europe, and they realize that
It would be very difficult to overcome
the idea Of exacting a vast indemnity
from Germany and at the same time
making her an outlaw among nations.
Nevertheless. they are asserting that
II Is necessary in order to establish
stable governments in Europe.
