according to the treaty of Versailles, the piebiscite was to show only where the German-Ponsh frontier was to be drawn The treaty does not allow for . majority rule over the entire province. but permits of only the smallest possible minority being placed under foreign rules.
 Despite the two-fifths Polish vote In the province, Chancellor Wirth as ceaselessly repeated 'undivided SiIe- sia must remain German" Hence the loud outcry of today, which the chancellor has not attempted to sti- He, because it has served to draw attention away from his mistakes in signing the Weisbaden agreement for reconstruction work in France be- fore he knew Silesias fate This Loucha -Rathenau agreement binds GermAny to deliver in the next four years material to the value of 10,00o,- 000,O00 paper marks for use in the devastated regions, besides heavy cash payments. These sums must be paid to contractors by the German treasury, which thus will be com pelled- continuously to increase the enormous paper money influxation from which the country now is suf- xering.
 Appreciate Depreciation.
 Only by increasing her exports to an extent hitherto undreamed of can Germany free herself from this dis tress. Money depreciation facilitates exports and, therefore, is so welcome to the industrials just now that a Westphalian leader said recently:
 ."If the mark should improve con- eRderably, it would be a terrible eco- homie catastrophe"
 Go meet even half of the repara- tfons expected of her. Germany must export so copiousiy and so cheaply as to become an export plague. poison- Ing the commerce of all industrial nations, and her only hope today is that the countries thus reIationed will demand revision of the treaty and 6 reduction of the reparations to possible figure.
 Production for mass export is pos stblel only if strikes are avoided and labor's demands conceded in under standings with the trade unions. Therefore the so-called peoples party (which is really rnonarchist and rep

The social democrat party convention declared its willingness to form a coalition with this "Stinnes party" as the labor papers call the peoples party.
 Lure of office strong
 It is true that many proletarians are against such unit and threaten to desert to the independents If it is consummated, but gradually, even in Germany, the lure of office entices leaders of both the right and the left. Men who have spent their lives as petty party officials or as obscure country editors do not despise the prospect of becoming president or minister or even under secretary with well furnished official dwelling and motor for the wife who shares in the title of "excellency." The rep resentatives of private wealth are Ce- mandink in exchange for their re- serve credit. needed for essential im- ports, control of the principal state apparatus. They want to make pri- vate enterprises of the railroads whose deficits now make great holes in the state budget. They also want the municipal gates, water and cleo tric tram services. and even the post office. putting all on the basis of private profit.
 Possessing such power, the inter- ests could impose high rates and combat the efght-hour day, whose sp- plication in the railways alone cn1sos all sorts of expense and difficulties.
 Who could resist him who rules over the haryests of the fields. the wood of the forests. the coal of the earth, the iron. the textiles. chemi- calls, heat, light and all the means of transport?
 More swiftly than the. socialism prophesied 8 thousand times before during and after the war. approacaes the era of private capitalism. The proponents of industrial and agricul- tural union which is to hasten these events and whose strength was shown in last Sundays elections, would be foolish to allow the Si- lesian decision to distract them. German feelings are perhaps pained thereby, but the decision revealed the seed from which a new European economic system may sprout. The political frontier fixed is not to be the economic one. Germany's enter prise and technical skill are to co-op crate with Poland's workmen and Frances capital. If such superna- tional communities could be created everywhere voluntarily and not by order, then could Europe emerge into prosperity.
