DESPAIR IN COMMENT

trend of the comment in this mornings
Berlin newspapers on Gcrmany's appeal

the reparatiOns question. written in the
absence of knowledge of what the
American reply would be. was skcptical
of any good coming from the German
move. the notes most frequently struck
being expressive of resignation and de-
Spair over the circumstances which had
prompted Germany's action.
The Nationalist press recalls the ap-
peal made by Germany to President
Wilson in 1918. just before the close
of the war, and asks why Germany is
placing herself helpless in the hands of
an ally of her enemies.
The Liberal newspapers. indicating

clare. however, that it furnished an
uncXampled demonstration of Ger

view by saying: Panic stricken be-

shelter behind American mediation.
That is their last card, and after Pres

The expected refusal however, will
not be regarded as changing in any way

Won't Take German Goods

The difficulty in the way of making
payment in annual sums by way of rep
aration is that no one will take Ger
man goods in sufficient amounts to meet
these annual quotas. and Germany can
only pay with goods
The so per cent import tax upon
German goods imposed by the Allies
shows the Allies will not destroy their
own industrial systems in order to coll
lect reparations in German goods,
which can only be sold in competition
with their own manufactures.
No intimation has been given here
as to which theory the present admin
istration will accept, whether 1t will
60 along with the Wilson idea that all
Europe must be saved, or whether it
will agree to the French view that
Germany must be thrown to the wolves
to save the viCtors in the war. Prob
ably the administration has not yet
crossed the bridge.
This much is evident. that in the
negotiations this government will take
the side of the Allies. At most Ger
many will have one more chance to
save herself by working for the Allies
and making their recovery possible.
If the havoc of the war has been
so great that general restoration seems
impossible. so much the worse for the
country which started the war.

amount of reparations will come up
anew IN conference In which this
country will be represented. II Is likely
that he will approach the subject with
an open mind.
The administration attitude Is that
this country is vitally interested In
the economic recovery of Europe which
is at once our debtor and our biggest
customer. Every man, woman and child
in this country has something at stake,
according to the State Department, in
the prompt settlement Of this question.
There are two ways i'm which Europe
can be restored. One Is the Wilson
way, which contemplated the restora-
tion of Germany as well as the Allies.
The world, especially this country and
England, has been more or less under
the dominion Of that view ever since
the peace conference.
The Wilson way has thus fnr failed.
II hasn't saved Germany and it has
not restored the Allies. The other way
Is to admit frankly that the war wrought
such havoc in the economic structure
that only the victors can survive, at
the expense of the vanquished. This
theory, for political rather than eco
Ionic reasons, prevailed in the treat
ment of Austria, which was stripped
of the means Of existence.
If it is to be followed now with re-
gard TO Germany, France. England and
Italy will be strengthened at the cost
Of making Germany another Austria.
Instead of working for the Allies during
more than generation, which is what
fixing Of reparations implies. Germany
will be asked to hand over her assets
outright to the victors who will use them
| to rehabiitatc themselves. This is the
line France is taking. apparently with
English support, in occupying by force
the coal and industrial regions Of Ger
many. The Central Empire has had a
chance TO pay by giving her notes. She
has failed and now her property may
be seized
