H. Around to Wilson View.
u Broadly speaking, there is the
almost satisfaction here that the
allies are endeavoring to agree
among themselves before they ap-
Srroach the Germans at the Spa con-
ference. 1t is felt that the allied
premiers enter the conference with
q changed attitude toward Ger
many. Fully year has had to
pass, unfortunately, before the al
lies have been brought around to a
realization of the correctness Of the
viewpoint expressed by President
Wilson and his financial advisers al
the Paris peace conference, namely
that the sooner definite sum was
fixed for the Germans to pay and
the sooner arrangements were
made to help Germany earn the
money to pay her debts the quicker
the world would get back on its
feet.
Three factors have prevented
Europe from doing IL months age
what she is accomplishing today
First, Prime Minister Lloyd George
had made an election promise tc
the general effect that Germany
would repay England for her whole
war cost. This raised high hopes
in England and kept Lloyd George
In power. This election promise is
probably the most famous in all
history and was vaguely referred tt
by President Wilson in his confer.
ence with the senate foreign rela-
lions committee. The publication
OF the sensational book by J. NJ
Keynes, British financial adviser
who revealed the secrets Of tht
Paris conference, has had ire
mendous effect on English public
opinion, which realizes now tha
the indefiniteness Of the indemnity
question has kept and would keel
Germany from beginning to earl
the money to pay her bills. TIL
allies know they must accept
much smaller indemnity than the,
advertised they would collect.
