became so great within a

foreigners became so great within a
few days that the allied authorities
soon decided that some concerted ac-
ton was necessary to protect the
residents.
The president OF tho Rhineland
province, acting under direction of
the inter-allied Rhineland high
commission, issued a decree prohibit
ing purchase of merchandise by for
eigners not actually residing within
the territory OF occupation. This or
der does not affect members of the
allied military forces, the Rhineland
commission nor other foreigners who
were In the occupied area on legiti-
mate business.
Officials deemed that this step to-
ward trade regulation was necessary
to prevent retailers from selling all
their stocks to foreigners taking ad-
vantage of the low rate of exchange
on foreign currencies at a time when
the price on goods in the German
stores had not been advanced. or at
least not marked up in comparison
with the depreciation of the German
money.
For days buyers poured into the
Rhineland on every train and by au-
tomohile from Holland, Belgium.
Luxembourg. France and other near
by countries, and business in the
stores of Coblenz. Cologne and Ak
la-Chappelle flourished as it never
had before. The foreigners bought
everything on sale and in whatever
quantity could be arranged with the
retailer. This abnormal demand for
goods continued for days and reached
such stage at times that storeheep-
err found IT necessary to close their
doors because of the crowds, or be-
cause the shelves were empty. Clerks
worked 16 and IS hours day try
ing to keep up with the demand.
Many articles of American manu-
facture are on sale in Coblenz stores
at retail prices much lower than in
the Omitted States. taking into con-
sideration the rate of exchange. 1t
is explained here that these goods
came from surplus army stocks in
France, which at various times since
the armlstice have been disposed Of

Then came the great discourse by
the French premier, NJ. BRAND Yet,

With all this going on, the public

without pacific accord. Such accord
Is impossible without entanglements
with England and Japan. Is there a
way out? No one knows.

nacious efforts, has succeeded at last
IN organizing her own bankruptcy
TO escape her creditors. There are
Journeys Of Hugo SHINES and Herr
Rathenau to London-related perhaps
to the Weisbaden interviews. There
is the French accord in Angora, which
has stimulated fervid debate be-
tween the bureaucrats of Quai 'Orsay
and the British foreign office. There
are the articles in certain English
and French journals, the excessive
stupidity of which finds ready echo
in the American press.

admit that am mistaken. But in the

ize that it is necessary to be firm
at times, but why not be firm on such
vital matters as our dealings with
Germany, rather than on secondary
questions such as Angora?
After all, who seeks England from
her pin pricks to France at Tangiers
and In Mesopotamia? And what Is
gained by forgetting the grand truth
recalled by Lord Derby two days ago:
"Eng1and's German frontier is the
same as that which separates France
with Germany"
One is inclined to quote the old
phrase, go, my sons, and see what
fools govern the world"
King Edward VII and NJ Delcasse
created the entente cordialle by
agreeing to the simple principle that
France should not hamper England
on the road to India. and that Eng
land should leave France alone IN
western Europe. in the western Medi-
terranean and In western Africa.
Where are the statesmen capable
of such constructive views today?
