French shipping officials forsee a
strenuous freight war with Ameri-

the reported decision Of the United

Premier Sees Danger
if1~ French Attitude.

Lloyd George realizes this. He knows
the limits of subordination to the French
policy has been reached and that a
perilous reaction is imminent unless the
engine Is reversed. And the French
press, finding his attitude changed, is
speaking its mind about him in terms
as bitter as any 1t could employ II he
were the German Chancellor.
The immediate cause, of course. is the
Ruhr. The French determination to get
control of that coal field, defeated at the
Peace Conference. is still the paramount
aim of the French policy. There is no
concealment Of this. 1t Is openly pro-
claimed In newspapers like the Echo de
Ports and Is steadily worked ,for by
French militarists. politicians and finan-
ciers. It was this purpose which led to
the attempt to stampede the Allies last
spring by the occupation OF Frankfort
with black troops. It was this purpose
which governed the conference In Spa.
The object Is simple. The Power
which controls the coal of Germany
controls the life of Germany. The
saar Valley already has been taken.
In Upper Silesia French propaganda Is
working with might and main to trans
fer this field from the Germans TO the
Poles. There remains the Ruhr, by far
the most important field. France does
not conceal her intention to occupy this
field. Germanys punishment was laid
down at spa II she falls In any of her
undertakings. And Germany has got to
fail, for France means to have the Ruhr
ut all costs.

fled. Therefore the League of Nations
is Inc only authority to ameliorate pres
ent conditions in the world. A de-
stroyed Germany would bring with It
Bolshevism over Europe and involve
general misery. What we expect from
the Entente is the furthering Of inter-
national understanding. which could
be easily reached IL our opponents
realize that pressure causes counter
pressure; unnecessary harshness against
and humiliation of Germany will create
new Nationalist and Bolsheviks and
make the danger more threatening,

velopment, civil war and usurping Of

IRENE parties is brought about.

While for years French poets may have

been delighted to honor.
There are only forty places provided

needed for men who win wars. write
romances. or produce comedy destined
to fill Partisan theatres-and the purses
of the theatrical managers. There is no
room for the mothers of such men. for
the women who sacrificed every comfort

which might lead to literary anarchy
and a striving for an excess Of individ-
