To the large humber OF Germans
who were present at his meetings Cox
sounded the warning that Germany
only hope Is through the League OF
Nations and the salvation OF England
and France and Austria and every other
European power Is the same.
"The main opposition IN the world
~ the League of Nations today he
said comes from what is left Of imperial
i.m in Europe and from reacnonary
politic,ans in America In Europe there
Is no misunderstanding. The imperialists
would like 10 return 10 the old order, but
the people do not and the people hold the
mower In America there is some misunder-
standing but II grows entirely out of the
prcpaganda Of misrepresentation that
has been maintained for political pur-
poses through large outlays of money
for more than a wear In all the history of
human civilization there has never been
such an instance Of partisan obstruction
u human progress.
"If the treaty had been ratified by
the Senate the nations of Europe would
now be al work. with the possible excep-
tiol # Russia. This would be particularly
true Of Germany and France With the
work of fixing indemnities not completed,
Germany has not resumed her labOrs for
the timple reason that she does not care
10 create values until she knows what
she has 70 pay France will not go TO work
until she gets her indemnity apparently.
England and France cannot agree
on the indemnity that Germany is to
nav. England takes the view that 1T is
not a question Of how much Germany
ought 10 be made to pay but what she
can afford 20 pay If the indemnity is
beyond her capacity TO pay, national
insolvency is inevitable This would mean
the disruption Of the Government.
