Theodor Wolff editor Of the Tag
blatt, a man Of sane judgement, and
mild language took occasion in a re-
cent issue Of his paper to give
France lecture on neghborliness.
While he didn't exactly sing a hymn
Of hate, he did point out quite sig.
nificantly that, even though France
had been sinned against, she might
stupidity stir up new trouble for her
self II she did not take a new tack.
The occasion for most of his re-
marks was the alledged quotation of
the French socialist about Thomas
who recommended the peaceful
penetration Of the left Rhine bank"
as well as the recent allied demand
for alteration of the German consti-
tuition as respects Austrian represen-
tation in the Reichsrat.
Most Of his remarks were directed
sQuarely at France.

entente powers" he wrote "through
all their measures, conditions and
decisions have, like the German In
dependents, strengthened nationaiism
and the counter revolutionary and
militarists reaction in Germany"
The French deputies, he complain
cd had gone on the theory that the
treaty was too mild and that it did
not offer sufficient security to
France.

continued "that a great folk cannot
always be laid in chains. Since one
cannot exterminate such a people
(the Germans) nor down them in the
sea, it is alwas the part of wisdom to
prepare for their living as neighbors
and together.
'But Clemenceau and Tardieu, as
well as most of the deputies, will not
go this path The single idea of
these parliamentary critics of the
treaty is that the entente has done
wrongly in allowing Germany to ex-
ist."
Wolff insisted. too, that there was
more "Prussianism" and more Of a
yoke" about the authorities in Pa,is
han in all Prussia. His article was
written on vacation in the noun
aims, and from nature he drew a
smile which, translated betewen the

tir up a nation and weld it anew

attempts to separate
ome of the Rhineland regions from
