When Lloyd George Yielded

Yet at one and the same time
the British oppose French military
action alone, or with Belgium as the
sole partner, and shrink from em-
ploying British troops in such an
operation. This was the underlying
basis for German policy. Up to a
certain point Lloyd George was
pound to go to avoid military action
measure of compromise he was
bound to impose upon his French
associates, and this measure he did
impose. When he had reached his
limit, when it was plain France
would stand no more, then Lloyd
George became adamant, and in
the end, under threat of military ac-
tion, Germany climbed down.
But an alliance, like chain, has
only the strength Of the weakest
link, and the Germans, knowing the
British opposition to more military
ventures, knowing that labor disap-
proves of the Treaty of Versailles
and favors it's amendment, will be
able to exploit the situation still
further, tempting France to act
alone and thus straining the Anglo
French association just a little
more.
At Spa, then, we have seen the

.A on the second anniversary
- of the decisive German de-
~ feat in the Battle of the
Second Marne, which was itself the
first long step toward the collapse
of NovemberS 1918. If one could
remount the laconic phrases so
familiar in the official statements of
military operations in the days Of
the World War one might expect
from German sources something like
this:
Son our Western front the army
group of SHINES has completely
ruptured the Versailles line Of the
enemy. The break through was on a
very wide front and our forces are
still advancing.
"On the Eastern front our gallant
allies, the Bolshevists, have COM
pletely beaten the Polish forces,
which are everywhere in retreat, and
have agreed in advance to accept
as an armistice line the boundary
fixed by the Versailles Conference,
which deprives Poland Of all Of her
ancient territory"
New-York tribune., 1920-07-25

will unquestionably work the eco
nomic weapon to the utmost; he will
seek, now by defiance, now by clever
negotiation, to make it profitable
for Britain to expand trade with
Germany and thus to increase the
reluctance of the British, purely ON
French or Belgian issues, to break
off the ordinary peaceful relations
and resort to arms and armed
pressure.
Little by little, then, the Treaty
of Versailles will now dissolve and
vanish. Germany will have to pay
something, but the total amount of
her paying is going to be insignifi-
cant by contrast with what was re-
garded as the irreducible minimum
at Paris. We shall have reductions
at once, such as have taken place
in the matter Of coal, but we shall
have scalings down after each crisis,
Of which Spa was sample. That
Germany will produce these crises
may be accepted as a matter Of
course.
There Are Other Fronts
But the Western front is not
the only area OF hostilities, nor
Is it certainly the most important.
Moreover, on the Western front
Germany's possibilities are going to
be sharply limited for many years
to come. On the whole, it may be
doubted If Britain would ever again
permit German attack upon
France and Belgium without inter
vention. And since France and Bel
gium have entered into mutual de-
fense alliance, with specific pro-
vision as to the number of troops
each will supply, any attack upon
France will almost certainly in
volve Belgium.
Even British labor would hardly
resist British action if Germany
again threatened the very existence

A Coming Coalition

That Germany will ultimately
seek to reconstruct her Mitteleuroua
seems certain. In Balkanizing Con.

nations have made this wellnigh in.
evitable. But in such course un;o,

Poland been successful in the East
might have offered an obstacle to
German aspirations toward the
South as we'll as toward the East
and the assistance Of the Jugo-Slays
would similarly have been assured
But the Poles and Czechs have been
permitted to quarrel and the Quarrel
has led to an act of treachery on the
Bohemian part which will never be
forgiven by the Poles, and two races
necessary to each other if either
were to continue free have been sep
arated, probably forever.
IN word, Of all the edifice created
at Paris it seems now, after year,
little likely that anything east Of
the French and Belgian frontiers
can survive that German Renaissance
which is no longer to be doubted.
At Spa German representative
successfully preached the Treaty Of
Versailles; in the East Russian mill
tary successes, Lithuanian Polish
and Czecho-P Polish disputes have pre-.
pared the way for the later restora-
ton of the conditions which existed
before the war, conditions which
amounted to the enslavement of the
Poles and of the Czechs. Instead
Of closing the German road to the
East and the South, the failure Of
the Allies has broken down the OBJ

in arriving in Paris.

Back to Greatness

Thus, in reality, the events in the
East represent something even more
important for Germany than those
in the West; together they mean an
impressively long step in the direc-
ton Of former greatness. Coincldent
with these developments is the re-
surgence of the reactionary elements
in the German state; the voices
which are most clearly heard noT
are the voices familiar before 1914
and between 1914 and 1918, and they
are using the same tone and the
same words.
