cess Of the monarchists' coup in Berlin
James w. Gerard, former United State.
Ambassador to Germany, declared last
night.
1.-The revolution" he said, "is largely
The result of the failure of our own
country to ratify the treaty.
"Unrest in Germany is both political
and Industrial. 1t is industrial because
the people lack employment and they
are idle because they have no raw
materials and no organization by which
they could sell their products even if
they had materials. If the league of
nations had been functioning it would
have been possible for it to have solved
all these problems as they came up.
In my opinion, the situation is very
serious"
Giddings Criticizes Wilson
DR. Franklin H. Giddings, of Colum-
bia University, an authority on inter
national law, said:
The attitude here on the league of
nations has had an important bearing
on the situation in Germany. Presi-
dent Wilson's very unwise remark
concerning French imperialism was
read and has had an influence in Ger
maryland the influence has been
bad one. If the reactionary powers
stay in charge in Germany the situa-
ton is very serious one.
THE Allies have but one way to meet
an overt act on the part of the Ger
mans 1t the new German government
iasls to live up to its treaty obligations
the Allies will be forced to act. If it
lives up to its obligations, the change
IN government remains purely DO
nestle affair, however, and no concern
of the Allies"
Dr. Conrad Jenny, Swiss Minister to
the United States, in charge Of German
affairs, who came to New York yes
terday morning from Washington and
was found at the Pennsylvania Hotel
last night, declared that he "would not
like to say anything as yet concerning
it," when asked if in his opinion the
overthrow of the Ebert government in
Berlin meant the possibility of q re-
lnfn 70 power IN Germany OF any men,
ber of the house of Hohenzoliern.
81 am afraid" he said, chat could
not make statement with regard to
TINS matter SO soon, as I have not re-
celved any notification of affairs in
Germany excepting what | have read
IN the newspapers. l left Washington
last night, and shall return tonight"
TO other questions asked him con-
corning. the reported upheaval in Ger
many, he replied he did not care to
discuss the matter until he had heard
officially about it.
Vanderlip Sees New Menace
There is peril in the ascendancy of
the monarchists in Germany, accord
ing to Frank A. Vanderlip-the peril of
an alliance between Germany and
Russia. Speaking before the Womens
Republican Club Of New York State
yesterday at the Hotel Astor, Mr.. Van
derlip said:
III there is established a strong
monarchical government in Germany
you may Get politica! and military CO.
operation between Russia and Germany.
Russia will open her granary doors to
feed hungry Germany, and German in
dustrles VIII pour into Russia the
manufactured goods that are needed.
Ihose two armies are separated only by
the weak barrier that the courage Of
Poland offers, a barrier that cannot
stand real attack. Germany and
Russia in such union or so cooperat-
ing can face the Entente and offer
those nations such a problem as they
have not had since the beginning of the
war.
Russia has been trained by the New
York laundryman, Trotzky, until she is
a great, defiant thing to-day. Russia
largely has abandoned its communistic
theories, only small groups in the
cities still holding to the idea that the
proletariat shall rule. Germany and
Russia to-day marvelously 70 together,
Germany with it's genius for organiza-
tion, and Russia with it's natural re-
sources
