Berlin, April 1O.-Great Britain's dis
approval Of action of France in occupy

with much expression of satisfaction.
France is in the thrall Of chauvinism
and militarism.' says the Vorwaerts,

lead nations inevitably to perdition. 1t
is essential that Germany seek to live
in agreement with her neighbors and it
is the duty Of French socialists to see
that the ground for this understanding
be prepared. An international crisis can
be avoided only by the league of nations
becoming reality and taking hand in
the solution.
Great Britain's attitude" the Tage-
blatt declares. ''is a reminder to France
that the Versailles treaty is not com
pact between France and Germany. but
all European belligerents. The British
stand is a bad blow to the Millerand
government. but it is immaterial who
rules France so long as blind militarism
is not supplanted by common sense"
The Lokal Anzeiger. while admitting
there is dawn Of common sense in
the world" asks why the allies Of France
did not act more promptly.
