Gutave Herve probably expresses the
dominant feeling in France when he says
in the victoire:
But a moratorium, after all, only will
complicate the difficulties. There IS one
solution Oniy-it is the immediate reduc-
ton Of the German indemnity and the

There is a sentiment among the gen

has allowed things to go to smash in or

are in largely of the opinion that Ger

Germany would have been capable OF
