BY Frank ;. Taylor

United Press Staff Correspondent
Copyright, 1919, by United Press.
BERLIN, April 20.-- delayed. } -
The present German government is
playing into the hands of the reac.
tionaries and militarists who expect
to overthrow the republic and re-es-
tablish the monarchy as soon as the
allied armies are demobilized, Emil
Barth, radical leader, charged in an
interview with the United Press to-
day.
Barth, who was member of the
provisional cabinet, just completed a
three months tour of Germany, study
ing developments and determining the
strength of the workmen.
The threatened monarchist revolu-
ton may be averted. he said, by a
popular uprising which would result
in establishment of a proletarian die
tatorship.
Among other statements made by
Barth was that:
Germany can and should pay for
the destruction she wrought.
President Wilson has been deceived
by the present German government.
The allies make . mistake IN COM
promising with Germany on the Dam
zig question, as the militarists Row
believe they can get what they war;
at Versailles.

We know, or think we know, pretty
we'll what to do in international af-
fairs. Almost every one agrees to
some kind of league Of nations.
Are we anywhere nearly as clear
about the industrial problem!
The Facts in the Case Needed.
Again, as In those hard months
at Paris, / feel strongly the want of
knowledge Of the facts in the case.
The prime difficulty here and now,
as it was in Paris, is the want of
proper publicity. The great Amer
lean public does not understand the
situation.
I felt over and over again at Paris
that if only l could sit down with :
group of my neighbors and explain
the whole situation, present the diff
cuities involved, describe the dan
gers of drifting without construc-
tive purpose, l could show them
why, even though the treaty was
defective IN many ways, it was abso-
lutely necessary to get some organ
izatlon at work, some league in be-
ing to steady the world.
/ have had exactly the same con-
viction since beginning the study of
the present industrial situation in
America.'It is based upon the same
solid faith in the essential good
sense of the American people. If
they can only see the situation as l
have been seeing it in some Of the
great industrial centers where
strikes have been raging; if they can
only know what the issues really
are as I have had them preser ted by
leaders on both sides Of The great
controversy; if they can only under
stand how intensely human the
problems are, how full of the COM
mon stuff Of life; if they can be
shown where the truly reccnstruc-
tive experimentation is goirg on and
who are the thoughtful leaders on
both sides-if the Anne eican people
can see and know and under stand
these things, they will decide Alright
regarding them.

Gen. Richard w. Young, COM
mander Of the 65th artillery brigade

Saturday night, following an opera
ton for appendicitis performed one

rank of major in the Philippines.

Emerging, with No Settlement.
We are indeed emerging from both
strikes, but with nothing really set

haye gone back to work dissatisfied.
There is no compromise and appar-
entity no spirit of compromise. Judge
Gary stands just where he did be-
fore the strike began; so does Mr.
tsompers; so do Mr.. Fitzpatrick and
Mr.. Lewis. In the coal strike both
operators and miners are sullen. The
Pennsylvania operators were as un-
willing to accept the presidents pro-
posal for a temporary cessation of
hostilities as were the Illinois min
ery.

ing upon the discomfort among the
miners, in his state, ptedicts another
strike in April, and the "a presidents

reconcilable difference of view.
Judge Gary was heartily cheered by
$500 members of the American
Iron and Steel Institute, an organ
ization of the iron and steel masters
of the nation, when he declared his
determination not to deal with rep
resentatives of labor unionism.
This is the great question con-
fronting the American people, and,
in fact, the world public" he said.
Judge Gary has received hundreds
OF letters ana kilograms from en-
ployers and employers associations
