EUROPE: NEEDS BOW :
TO OUTSIDERS WILL
Reference of Silesian Controversy to the
League of Nations Viewed as Departure
From Self-Determination Principle

Brazil and China will help decide the
fate OF country quite unknown and
Indifferent to them.
Passing Of Europe's Power.
Thus we have an answer to this
purely European question" as Am
bassador Harvey interpreted Presi-
dent Harding's verdict, to be made
nents, Japan presiding.
Poor Europe must accustom herself
to the idea that the days of her
sovereign omnipotence are over.
The British dominions. which at
London forbade renewal of the
Japanese treaty. also warned ener-
getically against a further yielding
to France.
France. an agricultural nation. can
feed and. clothe her thirty-nine mil
lions of people from her own produce.
She has sufficient coal, or can get it
by an exchange of iron ore. Yet she
clings to the superstition that she can
force Germany for centuries to pay
countless billions in indemnity. I will
not dispute the moral right to this
demand. for in Europe's all too war
like history almost every conQueror
has demanded it. But today 1t Is as
unrealizable as that some European
nation should redeem its bank notes
with gold
To fulfill what France demands
operate the most tremendous export
machine the world ever saw and cram
all the world markets with goods.
France. with her specialized exports
could stand this, but not England,

wages and the insolvency Of her
former customers, to say nothing OF

American workman. Englands eco

she is squeezed between a gigantic
American export and German ex-
port machine cheaply fed with paper
wages.
Englnnd's Future Mennced.
Since England's fate depends upon
her export reactivfty she cannot al
low Germany under the whip of the
sanctions to be forced to capture the
world markets with a perpetual
dumping system. Consequently she
refuses France the means of threaten
ing Germany from a Polanized Silesia
and securing for herself control of the
continents iron and coal.
Frances fury against England fails
to take into account the fact that
England is not acting through politi-
cal intrigue. but economic necessity.
No verdict Of the league can change
this.

cordial as it was in the days of the
Maid of Orleans, of Napoleon and of
the Fashoda incident, can be saved

PARIS, August 20.-Profound
dissatisfaction reigns throughout
France az a result of the recent
meeting of the allied supreme
strict discipline which the govern.
ment exercises over the press has
failed 70 prevent the expression Of
this sentiment. The fact Is that the
practicall$ and morally.
The primary accomplishment ex-
pected of the recent session was. a
decision as to Silesia. a decision
which should Immediately have
followed the plebiscite of last
March.
Passing this to the league Of ma
tioEs constitutes one more viola
tion of the treaty of Versailles, and
is consequence Of the absurd
method of analysis applied during
the last three months to the dis
puted territory.
Cloud on Decision.
When a decision is made by the
league of nations. both Poland and
Germany can argue properly that
that decision Is invalid, since the
treaty gives the league no juris-
diction- whatever on this question.
AS for the sanctions adopted at
the supreme council meeting last
nomic and military. But they
formed an inseparable whole, They
come as a result of Germanyfs nom
execution of her engagements con-
cerning reparations, concerning
war criminals. and concerning dis
armament.
AS to the criminals. they have
gone scott free after. a parody on
justice. AS to reparations. Ger

600. 100000 marks due MAY !. and
obliged to pay only 1,000:000.000
August 81. has not acquired half
that sum. AS to disarmament, Gen.
Hocfer's completely equipped
forces on the Silesian front is most
eloquent testimony.
The supreme council was to de-
termine the future regulation OF
Germany's disarmament, which is
far from complete. and to take
measures to end the camoufis ge
of munition manufacturing, which
is increasing at an arming rate.
Instead Of making a decision as to
this, the council appointed a COM
mitfee and discussion was de-
ferred.
Other Issues Evnded.
For prompt decision concerning
the Leipsic travesty in dealing
with the war criminals. the coun-
Gil substituted another committee.
The council program further called
for action reinforcing the inter-
allied commissions forces in
Silesia- Yet nothing was done.

BERLIN. August 20.-If reading
the peace conference reports has not
member that the chief aim of the
league of nations is to secure for
the peoples of the world self-deter-
mination. and to protect them from
aggression.
Now we find that the first impor-
tant duty imposed upon the league
is the settlement of the Silesian con-
troversy. The Silesians are a mixed
race. as like and unlike neighbors
as the Alsatians.
Pledges Against Division.
After the Silesians had been as.
sured in Berlin and Warsaw that
their land would not be divided, no
matter how the plebiscite of last
March resulted. so per cent voted
German and 40 per cent. Polish.
These figures would have been quite
different if the question had been put
as it is today: Do you Silesians want
to be united or divided? Therefore,
there should be no decision as to
which part should belong to Ger
many and which to Poland until this
question has been answered
III the league, whose authority was
greatly diminished by the with
drawal of the United States. does not
put this preliminary question to the
people, it sinks to the level of a sub
ordinate entente organism. abdicating
the functions for which it was
created.
The league of nations ought not
to reckon only with coal. iron, tin
and lead shares and dividends, NOV

Holds Secret Treaty Invalid.
Is industry necessary to the whole
continent to be torn asunder and a
people still young in civilization split
apart because France demands con-
troll of Europe's coal and iron and an
eastern bulwark against possible
German remiiitarization?
IT does not concern the league which
part OF SlleSla France has promised
the Poles. for any such secret treaty
is a breach of the covenant Hun
dreds of thousands of Silesians do
not want to belong to Germany. Still
more would not for the world belong
to Poland. Even the most skillful
partition would weaken industry and
would not stop guerilla warfare and
murders. The Paris breakfast table
policy overlooked this, and also the
question as to whether a verdict in
compa tible with article So Of the
Versailles treaty is binding on those
principally interested. namely Ger
many. Poland and the (always for
gotten) upper Silesians.
