Treaty Does Not Give
France Any Security,
Asserts Henri Bidou

Paris, May 1.-THE military
clauses of the peace treaty do not
give France any security in the view
of Henri Bidou, the military critic
of the Journal Des Debats. He
says that they give France the from
tier of 1870, which is the frontier
made against her in 1915.
All military writer's between those
two dates, Bidou continues, main
tanned that neither the frontier nor
Metz was capable of defense in case
of defensive war. He also says
that the treaty gives Belgium no
more security than it gives France.
AS to the 80 mile demilitarized
zone east of the Rhine, he adds. it
is of no protection because German
covering troops could cross and
seize the passages of the Rhine and
establish strong bridgeheads be-
tore the French could stop them.
M. Bidou declares that every one
knows that by permitting Germany
100000 seasoned troops, it will have

nation could gather.

man; Thinks Public Will
Demand Explanation.

! Washington, May ll.-George N
Peek. chairman of the Department
of Commences industrial board
which was dissolved last week aftel
a controversy with the railroad ad
minstration concerning steel prices
declared in statement tonight thai
the public would demand an ex.
planation of the wrecking, ap.
parently on the obstinacy of q
single individual, of plan to make
| an immediate reduction in the cost
of living of such all apparent ma
tional value"
Il can only conjecture an axp1a-
nation" said Mr.. Peek. Throughout
the battling controversy the board
has found itself checked by forces
in opposition which it could neither
understand, reason with nor over
come, but which grew in strength
until they forced abandonment of
the plan.
Buying Revival Halted.
I'm theory the plan has been ap-
proved almost unanimously by busi-
ness men and associations and by
editorial and press comment the
country over; in practice the plan
has been proved by the order books
OF steel producers and the buying
revival which Immediately followed
the announcement of steel prices
and ceased Immediately upon the
railroad administrations rejection
of those prices.
1T is inconceivable that the rail
road administrations unsubstantial
objection alone was sufficient to
justify the abandonment of policy
OF such Importance. Nor toward
the end has the director-genera1
been alone in thwarting the purpose
of the board. The secretary of the
treasury has taken stand in direct
contradiction to his message to the
president urging the creation OF the
board. The attorney general has
rendered an opinion that the plan
of the board contravenes the Sher-
man act, but the facts assumed as
the basis of that opinion are so
with the actual course
of conduct of the board as to rem
der the opinion inapplicable, yet it
has been used as basis for the
abandonment of the boards plan.
Rail Administration Obdurate.
TN all the opposition the board
has sought in vain for substantial
reason. 1t urged the railroad ad-
first to aid it by one
single fact or argument to arrive at
a lower price for steel, and second,
to name price which the railroad
would consider fair.
The railroad administrations
only answer has been that the steel
price announced by the board is
too high If too high means that
he railroad administration can force
over prices by smashing industry,
smashing labor, smashing the public
interest, and throwing production
nto the hands of the most powerful
Ind lowest cost producers.
The board agrees that the price
S too high but it is precisely these
esults the board was set up to pre-
'ent and the case stands proved that
over prices without these results
re impossible. Still the railroad adj
persists and announces
pecifically that its only view of a
ow price is one that shall, by in
lerent attractiveness, induce buying,
