Is not an examination Of history es-
sential, and may not such an exami-
nation reveal the fact that to restore
TO Germany certain things taken by
the Treaty of Versailles will inevi-
tably be to restore to Germany ex-
actly the ambitions, the appetites,
the necessities" out of which came
the last and most terrible of human
conflicts?
Fruit of Robbery
To restore Germany means, if it
means anything, to return to Ger
many certain territories, whose
products were an essential circum-
stance in the German industrial de-
velopment. But how came Ger
many certain territories whose
gin at the beginning, in 1742 Fred
@rick the Great, by one Of the foul
est of ofenses against right and JUS
ticc and in reputation of his own
written pledge, attacked Austria
and seized Silesia. One portion Of
Silcsia was inhabited by Poles, ex-
actly the district which the Treaty of
Versailles now assigns to Poland.
subject to piebiscite.
Thirty years later the same SOW
ereign engineered the first partition
of Poland, depriving the Poles Of
The lower valley of the Vistula, and
Frcderick's successors continued the
spoliation of Poland, acquiring as
their share Posen and Danzig, sub
stantially the areas which, under the
Treaty Of Versailles, are returned to
the Poles, although, because the
Germans have been successful ir
colonizing Danzig, following thei,
, forcible seizure Of it, that town Is
placed under the league Of nations.
despite the fact that it is the single
seagate of the Poles.
In 1914, following the first abdica-
ton Of Napoleon, Prussia took the
Saar coal basin, north and east Of
the Saar River. This territory had
not been acquired by France at the
expense Of any neighbor or through
war; it had been peaceably acquired
as a result of an arrangement with
Austria. After Waterloo, Prussia
extended her claims and annexed the
balance Of the Saar basin, south of
the river and including Saarlouis.

Still After Coal
In 1871, after the eFranco-Prussian
War, Germany. become the new form
Of Prussfan power. annexed Alsace-
Lorraine, thus contemplating tho &C.
QUESTION Of the coal districts OF Lor-
raine and at the same time acquir-
ing the vast iron regions north Of
Metz. In 1914, It IL worth recall
ing, one Of tho objectives Of Ger
man policy was the acquisition Of
the remaining iron districts, Just
across the French frontier, about
Briey, and this was long proclaimed
as one Of the "war aims Of the
Germans, one Of the demands Of all
their peace campaign.
Finally, in 1864, Prussia led Aus.
tria into an attack upon Denmark,
which resulted in the seizure of
Slesvig- Holstein, and in 1856 prus-
sia attacked Austria, and, after sue
cessful war, annexed Slesvig- -Hol-
stein, promising to permit the Danes
in Slesvig to decide their nation
atty by plebiscite, but never maxi

Now, the acquisitions of Prussia
and Germany in these wars of con-
quest are precisely the foundations
OF the economic development of Ger

human beings, but does not contain
the minerals out of which can be
manufactured products to exchange
for food.
In a word, the problem is whether
the world shall intervene to return
to Germany her lost mineral regions
Which were themselves stolen from
Germany's neighbors, thereby per
petuating the ancient wrong, or con
sent to see Germany pass through a
long period of agony, for which the
single solution must be sought in the
migration Of millions of Germans.
But the question is complicated with
other considerations. TO restore Ger
many's lost mineral regions is to do
violence to French and Polish possi-
tllltles, to deny each the expansion
in population Which would logically
follow the development of their new
mineral resources. Moreover. it is
to furnish Germany with the re-
sources to maintain population
which has become, by its very size. n
menace to all neighhoring states.
Will Rule Russia
1t is not difficult to perceive that
If Germany be restored she will be-
come, in due time, the economic mas
ter of middle Europe and the true
director Of Russia. Around Ger.
many will necessarily gather all the
fragmentary creations which replace
the Hapsburg empire on the map.
But, after all, this spells the realiza-
ton for the German of the old dream
OF Mitteleuropa. Master Of the mid
die of Europe, will he not inevitably
return to his old demands for the
possession of Belgian and Dutch
ports, for the control Of the north
OF France, not for military reasons.
primarily, but for the far more COM
peillng reasons of international trade
and industrial Independence?

New-York tribune., 1920-03-07
Chose War

The German chose war; he chose
it>deliberateN; he prepared for it
with a consciousness of it's meaning
for him, but he did not prepare for
it through some mad lust for more
military glory or expanded power.
New fields and new markets had
become a matter of life and death
for him, and he used his military
weapon to acquire them, with the
full consciousness that in the end
the sword would merely be the tool
employed by the manufacturer to
clear the way for his wares and
plough new fields to furnish him
with foodstuffs.
The notion that Germany was the
victim Of military caste and has
recovered from its madness is based
upon very superficial examination
Of the facts Of German history, and
indeed Of all history. But this be-
lief underlies all the present. discus
sion Of restoring Germany. One
may concede that it is an arguable
policy to endeavor by the seizure
Of purely German lands to compel
the German masses to migrate.
Justification might be found even
for this policy, given the character
Of the German attack upon her
neighbors, but no such question is
now under discussion.
New-York tribune., 1920-03-07
By Frank H. Sinonds

r NDERLYING all else in the
thesis which is being put
forward from one British
quarter at the present hour
is the argument that the salvation
Of Europe economically must be
found in the restoration of Ger
many, not within the frontiers fixed
at Versailles but within the limits,
SO far as they can be attained, Of
1914. 1t is in such work that
the ''liberals" of whom Maynard
Keynes is a conspicuous spokesman
are inviting American cooperation,
and the fundamental doctrine is
that Germany must be preserved.
But is there sufficient warrant for
this argument to lead Americans to
accept this British doctrine blindly?
Is not an examination Of history es-
sential, and may not such an exami-
nation reveal the fact that to restore
TO Germany certain things taken by
the Treaty of Versailles will inevi-
tably be to restore to Germany ex-
actly the ambitions, the appetites,
the necessities" out of which came
the last and most terrible of human
conflicts?

they suggest a contract on the part
Of tho French to turn over to the
Germans enough iron ore to keep the
German factories at work, receiving
on this condition a commensurate
amount Of coal.
New-York tribune., 1920-03-07
Which Shall Suffer?

No one will argue for punitive
annexations at German expense
but to-day the question is one Of
punlshing Germany's neighbors BY
withholding from them what was
once their own because Germany
having taken it by force and de.
yeloped it with skill, now stands in
need of its increased yield for her
own prosperity, or for her own
economic salvation, for that matter,
for the greatness of the German
necessity does not add to the Ger
man claim one single atom. It is
for France and for Poland to decide
whether the rehabilitation of Ger
many at their expense is a profitable
enterprise for them; it is not for
Great Britain or for the United
States to insist upon such a rehabili.
tation.
Even if one should concede, snd
the concession is by no means war
ranted, that Germany would make
better use of French iron or Polish
coal than the French or the Polss,
it is hardly q logical argument for
turning the iron fields and the coal
mines over to Germany. Nor Is II
an argument in favor of such spolis-
ton to allege that without these
Germany may die. Germany wlll
not, of course, die, but even very
great shrinkage in population q.
companied by internal suffering aud
unrest would not be justly pre-
vented at some one else's expense
