Revival as the Result Of

BERLIN, Nov. 90 (By The Associated
Press).-The reactionary forces in
Germany, says the "vorwaerts," the
Socialist organ, are being strengthened
by Frances military policy and "con-
slant heckling OF Germany" The news
paper asserts that it fears a monarch
sstic or nationalistic revival which
will overthrow the country's hard won
democracy.
"The only real disarmament the
newspaper continues, must be of
spirit, and this applies particularly to
The French. The Washington con
ference cannot do it, for the eyes of
the Americans will be turned toward
the Far East, and not toward Europe.
"Chaos came with Americas help to
Europe, and order cannot be restored
without American assistance. But the
United States seems to have lost in
terest, giving the French Nationalists
an opportunity to extend their in
huence over the whole of Europe.
What is needed is not a disarma-
ment conference but new peace con-
ference. German workmen never want
TO see war again, but injustice and a
search for vengeance are false foun-
dation upon which to build a peace
structure"

perturbed about it, and assert very
frankly that 1t strikes blow at the
whole idea Of naval holiday. They
could not stand by, they insist, and see
nation witch maintains the most
powarfui army in Europe build also a
feet of great strength, especially when
the next door neighbor of that country,
another Latin country, builds feet
which, when combined with that OF
France, would be considerably stronger
than the British feet.
The British feel that such feet In
che hands of France is wholly unnec-
essary, in view of the alliance between
the two countries and the fact that
the British feet fought fer France dur
ing the war,
If the French insist on doing this
thing the British say fatty, it will
be impossible for the British to join
with the Americans and Japanese in
declaring naval holiday.
Despite many denials that any feel
ing exists and despite the polite utter
ances In public, there is q surprising
amount Of real feeling between the
British and French delegations here,
which on at least one occasion almost
cropped out In an open session Of the
conference.
British Antagonism Aroused
Before the idea that the French
wanted feet as big as that of Japan
had gotten around---at the time when
it was thought the French would be
satisfied with a lot of submarines---
one distinguished writer insisted that
France wanted to build these subma-
rines to prey at some time on British
commerce. The feeling about the
building Of big French battle feet
has reused even stronger comment in
private.
So the American delegation is work
ing as hard as it can to persuade the
French that they must not do this
thing, which would disturb the whole
spirit of accord in the conference, so
Far as naval armament limitation is
concerned. They have been working on
the same theory on the Japanese ever
since the first day the American pro-
posals were read--at the convening Of
the conference.
With the Japanese the text has al
ways been tho Mutsu. With the
French there is no such symbol, but
shere has been considerable converse
sion about the fact that the French peo-
pie will not stand much more taxation
and that further French bonds, the pro-
ceeas OF which would be used for battle
ships, will not be attractive to in
vestors.

Neac Zealand Said TO Favor
Retaining Japanese Pact

WASHINGTON, Nov. % (By The As
:ociated Press).--New Zealand stands
beside Australia in favoring the con-
tinuance of the Anglo-Japanesa Treaty
for the present, at least, or until "a
more comprehensive system" for guar
anteeing the peace of the Far East has
been found. "We see no publication for
scrapping that alliance without substi-
cutting something for it," declared a
spokesman for New Zealand TODAY.
New Zealanders insist that the An.
glo-Japanese Treaty has no application
as against America. They hold that
tne speech Of Permier Lloyd George in
the House Of Commons recently on the
SUBJECT sufficiently expressed the NV
Zealand viewpoint.
