TO be fair to the French, there Is
much TO be said from that point of
view If one looks ahead not further
than, say. fifteen or twenty years.
But the world perhaps is going on
a little longer than that. There win
be some French boys alive in 1941,
There will also be many German boys
and great numbers of Russians. The
English people look ahead further
than the French and they believe,
rightly or wrongly--God knows-that
the present French policy, If un-
checked, would end in sure destruc-

with her, but love of France; or If
they will not believe that, though IT
is true with some of US. then let me
say that it Is the fear of another
monstrous war which would bring Us
all into the abyss.
There are other instincts at work in
British minds at variance with those
in French minds. Our knowledge of
arithmetic seems to tell us that new
German prosperity would mean new
prosperity to all of us, because she
can't pay or buy if she is kept poor
The French knowledge of arithmetic
disputes that conclusion.

there be love between them.

think Of the immense. patient

by the spirit within him he saved
France when nothing but miracle
seemed able to save her. / remember
at last the ending OF the war heralded
by the capture OF such cities like Lille,
when the people received US as saviors
and gave us thanks in n way that
seemed to make the war worth While.
1t wasn't long ago. Is it so long
that all has been forgotten and that
now we two people, joined together in
a communion of sacrifice. should be

word treachery as 1t was used in the
French press. and challenging each

picion?
There must be many soldiers in
America, forgetful of little irritatioas,
who still have for the French people
friendly memories and who are per-
picked between this friendliness and
perhaps disapproval of French policy.
So 1t is in England, with more IN

Britons See Case of Vengeance.
One thing not understood in Eng
land and perhaps not in the United
States is the actual motive of for
eign policy which seems TO raise
French militarism upon the ruin of
German militarism and appears to de-
mand more than justice, more than
reason-blind, ferocious vengeance
from their beaten enemy.
Now, it may surprise people when
I say that the French have a hatred
of militarism, but that Is the absolute
truth. No nation in Europe is more
disgusted with war. The French
peasants, to a man, want peace more
than anything in the world. The
French middle classes are uttering
against the militarists. The one great
dominating impulse in France to-day

They want the Poles to have Ger
man Silesia. not for vengeance's sake
against Germany, not for love of Po-
land, not for any wealth that will
come to them from the Silesian mines
and industries, but because they are
afraid that if this territory remains in
German hands it will be used by them
in future years as an enormous ar
senal in which they will manufacture
weapons to strike at France again.
They want to occupy the Ruhr and
all that Westphalian country with its
teeming factories not so much to hold
1t for ransom-though that seems
good to them-as to ring it round
with French troops for the prevention
of ornaments which later would be
used against France. Great as their
loathing is for standing armies and all
military burdens, which still lie heav-
lily upon them after, the war, they are
willing to support them in order to
make themselves safe against recov-

Want n Helpless Germany.

Anything to keep Germany so weak
that she cannot strike again is the
underlying purpose of every French
man. Nothing that will give Germany
a chance to regain her strength and
independence will ever receive the
consent of the French. That spirit is
not the same as militarism. 1t is its
exact opposite in motive. Yet by a
paradox it works out the same way.
1t is also made use of by a small
clique of army chiefs and react.onary
politicians who are the power behind
the throne of the French Government
and who undoubtedly have the pur-
pose of so strengthening France by
ring Of alliances financed and con-
trolled from Paris that they will be

the while he reviewed every angle
Of the situation. He found 1t impos-

relations with Shirley, and he recalled
that she had the very best of reasons
for placing their relations on bust

Bryce obeyed, and for the first time
