Germany Playing Same Old Game

= ERMANI, in turn truculent, fearful
~ and, when brought to bay, passive. is
playing the same old game OF the Hun. 1t
recognizes no argument save force, yields
to no persuasion save fear. 1t is amen
able only to threats, and it gives its prom
Uses with Il mental reservation that they
shall not be kept if a way can be found to
escape the penalty Of nonfulfilment. Every
step of the conference at Spa has been at
tended by the Hun endcavors to delay pay
ment of the price OF German transgression
Not once has il yielded. in spite Of its sol
cnn treaty obligations, except when the
cleaning sword OF Foch WAS braadshcd
over its head. and there is no prospect that
any OF the treaty terms will he carried out
except under the thrca: of allied force.
But Germany has no recourse except to
pay. 1t fought on the reduction OF its
armed forces in compliance with the treaty
terms until it could no longer resist the
allied threat. Equally truculent has been its
attitude on the delivery Of coal to the allies
under the treaty Its ability to deliver
100000 tons monthly has been carefully
asccrtained, yet Germany denies such abl-
ity. busters and pleads, cajoles and
threatens for an abatement of the terms
rather than agree TO what is known to be
not only possible but entirely reasonable,
1t is Il forcgOne conclusion, OF course. that
wise and forestal conditions that might
destroy its national unity. The allies are
as determined the Huns are stubborn,
and there was no idle buster in the ult-
matum of an occupation OF the Ruhr dis
trict in the event of noncompliance. The
coal will be delivered monthly so long as
cold steel is pointed at the heart OF the
Hun republic The allies know the Hun
methods and they are prepared.
The. German emssarcs at Spa, despite
their vocferous protestations of fear lest
civil war and a Red invasion through East
Prussia the whole portcnding Il reign OF
anarchy, ensue following allied occupation,
doubtless are experiencing Il secret satisfac-
ton that they are able to raise this new
club in resistance to the allied demands.
That danger. Of course. is positive, but it is
likely to avail them nothing. The allies
are well fortified in the east and can check
the menace should Poland fail to hold the
Reds in bounds. The German people them
selves, contrary to tho expressed views of
their Spa representatives. are in no mood
for acceptance OF the BolsheviSt doctrines.
Hence, the Red threat is bogy man raised
to alright the allies and deter them from
enforcing the treaty.
Should occupation OF any portion of Ger
many become n military necessity, the posi-
ton of the United States would be peculiar
inasmuch as ii would be invited to par
tcpate in the enforcement of the terms
of treaty to which ii is n signatory, hut
which its Senate has refused to ratify. 1t
is vitality interested in Germany's COM
plance, and yet its hands would seem to
he tied in so far as active participation is
concerned and it is doubted ii in any event
such participation would prove acceptab bic
TO this country generally.
