Vanderlip Predicts Revolt
Unless Treaty Is Revised

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. e.-Frank A.
Vanderlip, of New York, in an address
here tonight, declared the treaty of
Versailles placed economic conditions
on Germany that are impossible of full
filment and that if the agreement is
not revised a worldwide Bolshevist
revolution would result. Unless the
allied nations are quick to realize the
seriousness of the situation, he said,
political and industrial chaos is sure
to come.
There is possibility of Bolshev-
ist revolution in Germany" said Van
derlip. "The revolution would bridge
the Atlantic and we would soon feel its
effects in this country ways other than
economic. We have lacked leadership
in America, financial and otherwise,
and the Germans have had all the
hope crushed out of them"
Vanderlip said America must again
go to the ai9 of Europe, not with huge
loans. but with system of credit by
which America would furnish to the
war-ridden countries food and raw ma
terials.
