anything to assure French security short Of
stultitication of engagements made at the
time Of the armistce.
The French have been assured Of every
military protection along the Rhine and for
fifty kilometres (about thirty-fvc niles
east OF that river even to tho extent of con
sdering that any military activity in that
section shall be looked upon as hostile
act. But this is not considered enough and
additional claims lead to the conviction that
tney are open to construction as meaning
something more than military security
and verging on territorial control
"fhe President is not willing to 90 that
far in creating more Asacc Lorraine situ-
ations, and it is this stand against these
claims which is causing the delay until
some middle ground is found'
Concerning the Saar valley, with its
rlch coal fields, "The Brooklyn Dailv
Eagle" has made the following prcdic-
ton
I'VE shall soon know the decision of The
conference In regard to this difficult qucg-
ton. One thing only is certain at this time:
Inc representatives, of the United States and
those OF Great Britain will not sustain the
french claim TO the Saar Valley and in the
face of their opposition the claim will be
renounced. 1t has been a donperous1v die
turbing factor in the deliberations at the,
Quai d'Orsa and the sooner it is shclvcd
the sooner Will the peace treaty, too long
delayed, be ready for signatures"
Opposing the French view, as voiced
by Marshal Foch, that the Rhine prov
lhces should form a buwarlS against
1uturc German aggression, "Thc Phila-
delphia Inquirer" has outlined views cvi-
IDENTIFY held by certain members OF the
conferences:
Marshal Foch was quoted as saying that
as an lnsuperablc barrier against another
herman attack all the territory west of the
Khinc should be brought under the French
jurisdiction. That was the view of a soldier
VINO took no account Of any other thnn mill

The League

IT HE league of nations is still in a
draft of the covenant completed and
carrying many revisions, though it is
stated that it is a question of days "be-
fore the Monroe Doctrine feature, the
japanese demand for racial equality and
Leon Bourgeois amendments regarding
inspection and control of armaments
will be agreed upon"
While awaiting the publication of the
revised covenant, Baron Makino's state
ment insisting on the racial equality of
all nations is believed by some to presage
another delay in the treaty. According
to "The Boston Globe" the racial equal
ity problem will have to be solved now:
East and West have come face to face
at Paris. Japan has asked that its sub
jects be placed basis of equality with
other people inside the league of nations.
Christendom is conscious that one of the
master nations of tTfe world is outside the
Caucasian race.
"For thousand years all equal dip
lomatic intercourse has been between white
nations. Turkey, thrust into the European
concert toward the end of the nineteenth
century, was not an exception. The powers
we're obliged to deal with the sick man of
Europe because the sequel to his death
would have been scramble for his estate.
But the premiers did not regard the Grand
Vizer their equal; and he and his master
accpDfpd ho in fPriOr placo life heipr
at is different with Japan. There are
five great powers in the world-Great Brit
ain, America, France, Italy and Japan.
Alone of all the colored races, her people
have broken into the charmed circle
america cannot dodge the issue which
Japan is raising now and which China and
India are sure to complicate in a few dec
ades The real choice open to the world
is whether it is to be faced separately or
together. Must each nation struggle alone
toward solution, or shall they reason to-
gether and meet the race question within
a league of nations"
According to a recent dispatch from
Paris the French view of the situation
is that
"the principal Japanese demands un-
deniably acceptable, though it may be
necessary and possibly unwise to include
the specific statement in the league prof.
ect"
1t is remarked incidentally that "this
spirit of compromise and willingness to
avoid a deadlock dominates all the work
now going on, from the Council of -Four
down."

men hear that America and even Great
Britain arc incessanty finding new diff
cultics and new reasons for tender con
sideration of the German pocketbook"
How Britain feels about reparation as
it affects Britain is suggested in the fol-
lowing Associated Press dispatch:
"Coloncl Claude Lowthcr, Unionist, de-
clared that the delegates to the peace con-
ference in Paris needed to be reminded
that a majority of the members of the
House of Commons soemnly had pledged
themselves to exact the utmost farthing
from the Germans He said he hoped
Great Britain was not trucking to the
United States and bowling before Presi-
dent Wilson, who could philosophically
bear every countrys financial cmbarrass-
ment but his own"
This IS the final arrangement of pay
ment, according to dispatch published
by "The New York World":
"The treaty clause on rcparatons will in
cfudc this point: Germany is to be compelled
to accept responsibility for all damages in
cludcd within the seven catccories based
upon the damages inflicted upon life and
property of military nature. In cf-
feet, she will be asked to sign blank
check for the sum involved, which is not to
be placed Immediately at the final figure, but
is to be calculated at meeting to be held
within two years from the date of the treaty
signature.
"For purposes of guidance. computations
Inn % H.. i
mans, and these will show an approximate
total of $4,000 600, 900 as the amount to be
paid.
"lt Will be determined that this sum,
either in full or in large part, shall be
pad within a period of one generation. or
thirty years, with the possibility of com
position if Germany shows good faith and
the possibility of proonging the period of
maturity If she proves rccactrant. She
is to pay at once $4,000, 900 900, of which
Sl,00oO0o,o00 is to be applied upon food and
supplies allocated to her, the balance being
used for immediate payments to Belgium,
France, Serbia and other countries which
suffered from INVASION"
Naturally enough, intense anxiety is
evident in France over the result, tho
belief in some quarters being that vital
interests Of the republic are on the point
of being sacrificed tosccurc an amicablc
termination. The French attitude is
clearly estimated by Frederick Moore in

II OW to deal with Bolshevism is per-
maps the most vital problem con-
fronting the Four 1t comes down to
TWO constantly recurring theories The
French view has been outlined by Fred
erlck Moore in The Tribune as follows:
Renewed efforts are being made con-
stantly by the French in the hope of per-
suadng President Wilson to countenance
military action against Bolshevism, but
they are again being told definitely that
America will not assist with men or money!"
Thus he continues:
lhcsc conflicts of opinion as to how to
deal with Bolshevism again have been
Drought INTO the foreground by the Hun
garlan action, and there are indications that
Germany may adopt similar measures in an
endeavor to avoid the penalties which the
Allies intend imposing upon her."
The suggested antidote is the ration
ing of Russia on some such system as
was used in Belgium, using some neutral
country as an Intern rmediary-possibly
Denmark, and according to a recent Trib-
une dispatcn
ut seems likely that the filtration of the
leaders of the peace conference with the
Bolsheviki will lead soon to the recognition
of Lenne's government by the United
States and the Allies-the only possible out
come of the present policy of non-inter-
ference III Russian affairs"
"The Washington Post" inquiries, how
ever:
What compromise or bargain. then, can
be made with Lenine? . How can the
allied nations forsake the innocent and
loyal millions of Russia and consign them
to death for the sake of keeping Leninc
from threatening the Allies ?"
And "The Montreal Daily Star" re-
joins:
We cannot reason with the Bolshevist.
The only weapons he understands are the
weapons of his own choice. We must either
exterminate Bolshevsm by force of arms or
isolate it's victims like the plague Within
fifty years Bolshevism or democracy will
rule the world"
New-York tribune., 1919-04-06

tial defence of France is the Rhine he is to
be believed above any statesman. His is the
duty to cXpound the military fact. 1t is the
statesmcn's duty to recognizes that fact and
square it, as it can be squared in essentials
with the rights of the Rhine provinces to
ci-goVernmcnt and free Development
Because of this cleavage many authori-
ties see a dcadocked conference result
ing from the naturally intense desire of
France for future guarantees against
aggression and adequate remuneration
by Germany for her war losses, balanced
on the other side by the fear of a future
war against a Hungarian Russian Ger
manic alliance under the banner Of Boil
shcvsm which it is thought may be pro-
clpitated by the refusal of Germany to
sign the treaty. Among the clauses
which President Ebert has announced
Germany will not consent to
'is the confscation by France of the Saar
territory, the annexation of the left bank of
the Rhine, tho demand for ndemntics c:-
cceding the income of the nation, the rcduc-
ton of the army to 10000 men in the face
of the growing Bolshevst danger and the
looting Of the German colonies in Africa.
If all or most of these demands are in the
peace terms, Germany will not sign
