SIMPLER PASSPORT RULES
DEMANDED IN EUROPE
Travellers Claim Big Financial
Losses by Delays at
Frnnfiera

BERLIN. January 15.-There is a
spontaneous demand from commercial
organizations Of Europe and the
American continent for simpler pass
port regulations. says Fred w. King,
acting president Of the American
Chamber of Commerce Of this city.
The matter already has been brought
to the attention of number Of gov
ernments and protests have been
made to Washington against the
American system of issuing short
time passports. it is stated
Representatives OF chambers of
commerce Of many nations are to
hold a conference for the purpose OF
developing passport plan that will
be at once satisfactory to the gov
ernments and meet the needs Of COM
mercial and other travellers.
Those advocating changes want
passports to be issued for. perhaps,
a number of years, instead of for a
few months, and to eliminate the Gus
tom of viseing, inspection and long
examinations at every frontier 1t
is claimed that the delays resulting
from present regulations have been
carried to most aggravatlnS ex-
tent by some of the smaller nations
Of central Europe.
business men have told me of los
ing hundreds of thousands of dollars
by being unable to keep appointments
and close contracts because of delays
in receiving credentials to cross the
frontiers" said Mr.. King. "The pres
ent system is absolutely hopeless
from q business viewpoint What is
needed ia simple method which will
do away with all the red tape and
permit people to move about as
quickly as affairs require. This is
entirely possible"

Endanger Peace OF the World.
Viscount Grey is one of the safest
and sanest men and he, perhaps more
than any other man in Great Britain,
accurately senses the present needs.
Worthy, indeed, of the man was his
speech in Glasgow the other day.
when he said that armaments still
endangered the peace of the world,
and he urged that their growth be
arrested, SO that no country might
again force the killing pace. He
commented upon the ghastly prece-
dent of a victorious Germany fore
ing the Franco Russian alliance by
forming the triple combination of
Germany, Austria and Italy, and he
warned against the possibilities of
allied exclusiveness, now that we are
in the position Germany held fifty
years ago.
Will these wise words be needed?
To me it seems that the time has
come, not only to check the growth
but concurrently lessen all firearms;
yet the only relief is in the reduction
of expenditures, and here is Americas
opportunity for leadership.

be bullied. 1t has come to stay and

Since inability to solve the reparations

his days in office Leygues. apparently
without consultation with anybody, took
the risky initiative Of communicating to
the British government his resolve to
abandon all hope Of 9king a total of the

should rest content with fixing five an

At present we are between war
and peace, and the latter will exist
only when nationalist passions and
revengeful desires and hates are
Gained and when economic Sc
curity returns. What is needed
to bring this about? 1t is neces-
sary that Germany keep her en-

right must she make reparation,
but in the interest of every one in

A united Europe in its present
distress will buy nothing, sell
nothing. What can the world do
against that? OF course, the peace
treaty failed to foresee such
things. but that is no reason to
spend a lifetime groaning about it.
The treaty is written. We French,
who more than any soaked it in
our innocent blood, consider it our
charter. The fury of battles did
not destroy our wealth, it was a
systematic rival who sought to
break our power of recovery. War
is ignominious, but victory would
be immoral If the victors, who are
likewise victims, went without
reparation.
France has but one interest;
namely. to rebuild herself along
side her countless graves, and
everything else is unselish. is dis

America, we are interested in the
final triumph Of right.
They say we don't agree on the
means. 1t is enough that we agree
on the end, and this we do. But
belief or faith in universal right
cannot be resorted to except on the
basis of respect for international
engagements. Otherwise that

cause they emerge from the war
the two least selfish nations.
Yet MISUNDERSTANDING separate
them. Reproaches do not help,
they serve only to embitter; COM
pliments do not help, they only
breed insincerity. We must tell
each other the truth. That is the
best course for honest people. To
know what one wants. to tell
where one is going, to tell others,
and to keep ones word is the only
diplomacy possible for. great peo-
pies, and their ambassadors are
their citizens.
Immediately after the war an
evil opinion surrounded France
like thick veil. Poor France!
She truly is unlucky! Before the
war she was the object Of hpmili-
ating pity for her ancient distress;
after the war she aroused an envy
that seeks to tarnish her glory.
She is accused of imperialism. of
endangering world peace and OF
throwing Europe into economic
and financial disorder through
stubbornness. So much for the
general reproaches.
The France which lay conquered
for forty-four years did not want
war. She tried to avoid it. She
signed five transactions in ten
years toward world peace. Now
she has become imperialistic!
Why? Because she maintains an
army? She has. just reduced the
period of military service. but re-
tains troops in the field. Why does
she? What is her role in the
world? France is peaceful
democracy. She had only one de-
sire. namely. to see Alsace return
home. She possesses in northern
Africa and in Senegal a territory
where justice has inspired the ma
tives with affection. She must re-
build her own economic fortunes
and repair countless ruins, bend
ing double with toll to clear her
self of innumerable obligations.

How can she be accused of black
designs? True, she retains an
army of 100000, but others have
kept their fleets. 1t must be re-
membered that France is alongside
Germany, Germany which still hates
and which has a weak government.

The detachment of America from any
thing like even the semblance Of active
participation in the enforcement of the
Versailles treaty indicates that before
long France will have to choose between
reducing her claims against Germany
to insignifcance or embarking upon the
hazardous enterprise Of separate military
action, such as would estrange her from
her former friends. For such reasons it
is devoutly and almost tremulously
