SEVERE PEACE

GERMAN FLARE
Revolt Partly Due to
Wish of Rich to Have
Voice in Taxation.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE,
Especial TO The Argus ,


Washington, d. c., March 10
Plenty of theory but not much fact.
That's the most that can be said
thus far concerning Washington
opinion Of the new German revo-
luton.
Where the wish is father to the
thought, the upheaval in Germany
Is regarded naturally as confirma-
ton and justification of the large
variety of opinions expressed on
Capitol hill during the last Il
months of treaty discussion. Will
son defenders say it proves that the
president was right when he said
that chaos would come to Europe
II America withheld her hand from
the enforcement of the peace
treaty's obligation; former Presi-
dent Taft, not exactly a Wilson
man, but a staunch friend of the
treaty and League of Nations, says
the same thing.
Cali 1t Internal.
But the irreconcilable opponents
OF the treaty and league call the
German revolution an internal af-
falr-entirely divorced both in
cause and effect from the peace
treaty. Information thus far avail
able at the department of state
would seem to bear out this view to
certain extent. The revolution
does appear on the face of official
cables received to have been mott
waited by the desire of the mon
archlsts and reactionaries to get
back into power, something that
was inevitable no matter what hap
pened outside of Germany. No
party that once held power either
imperial, Republican. Democratic
or autocratic is ever content to stay
outside the gates of the treasure
house as long as there is a chance
to get on the inside.
But while friends of the treaty
insist none of this German trouble
would have happened if the League
OF Nations had been set up. i'm
placable foes of the pact say it is a
direct consequence of the "cruel
and harsh terms of peace imposed
| upon Germany" which is the way
Senator Philander c. Knox oi
Pennsylvania. himself former
secretary of state, expressed il
several months ago. only to be de-
nounced Immediately as pro-Ger-
man. But recent expressions and
comments from Great Britain have
indicated that the sober second
thought of the peace makers has
been one of apprehension that they
(, may have imposed upon the van
quished foe terms of peace which
made it impossible for him to earn
the money to pay his indemnity.
ReyO.t Against Taxes.
| Indeed. not a few people here
look upon the German revolution
as the skillful plot of the wealthy
classes in Germany who would
bear the greatest burden of the in
demnity to get out from under. AL
ready the new Berlin government
has set itself up as a judge of what
| terms of the treaty it will fulfill
those that seem "just and reason
able" This is virtual hint Oi
notification. and is admittedly hav.
/, ing a disquieting effect here. Fol
