by Fred Robertson, federal prosecutor,

cared he would produce evidence to
show that a gigantic scheme Of de-
struction was being fomented to over
throw organized government in Amer

in the chain for world revolution.
Robertson said that when the gov
ernment has gone into the records "the
public will realize that demoralized

of anarchy.

the soviet regime of Russia and the

EARLY PEACE TO

F. A. VanderIip, New York Bank

CALLS SITUATION APPALLING
Declares Great Productive Machine of
Europe Must Be Started to
Prevent Reign of
Terror.

Paris, March 15.-"I doubt # Amer

BUSINESS of the appalling situation
which confronts Europe and the wreck
which the whole fabric of civilization
is now facing" Frank A. Vanderlp
said to a correspondent here. He has
been investigating conditions in Eng
land and France and will continue his
inquiry in Switzerland and Italy.
America was once told there might
be peace without victory" he said.
What we have is victory without
peace. Production has ceased and un-
less production can be speedily re-

prehend the chaos which may ensue.
''There is nothing to be gained by
stopping to question who is to blame
or by finding fault with the way events
have been guided. The great pro-
ductive machine of Europe must be
started or the world will be confront
ed with a disaster such as no expert
ence has recorded. Here in France
everything waits on the settlement OF
the question of indemnity and the
progress of events in Germany. Each
day makes the prospect of indemnity
less possible.
Il have seen something Of the utter
wreck which the central empires in
flicted throughout the war zone. 1t is
complete-no words can picture truly
how complete it is. That wreck, how
ever, covers only strip from the
channel to the German border. There
is possible a wreck that will cover
all Europe. If production is not re
sumed, the horrors of war may be ex
ceeded by the horrors of this aftel
period, which is neither war nor peace
| but a breakdown of the machinery OF
civilization. In the face of such ap
palling disaster, every partisan consid
Grafton, every unessential difference oi
opinion, and every personal ambiticr
should be instantly forgotten.
"Unless terms of peace oan be speed
