End ofGer1nan
Republic Held
Royalist Hope
Harden Tells America ''New
Generation of Raging
Hates Will Rise Unless
the Nations Extend Aid
Desperate Spirit Arising
Failure to Realize on the Ia
Points of Wilson Said to
Have Enraged the People

Unless Germany is assisted in her
s,essnt economic collapse by other ma
lions she will cease to become a re-
oublic and will rear "a new generation
~ raging hates" according to Maxi
mf1;an Harden. editor of Die Zukumft,
- Berlin. His views were contained
IN a letter just received from Berlin
and presented before the Council on
Foreign Relations at the Hotel Astor
last night By Frank n Doubleday.
Mr.. Harden declared in his letter that
European monarchists were depending
rnon financial catastrophe" of Ger
nsny to restore monarchy. Only an
exchange of views from representa-
tires. other than official or profess
s;onal, from the countries of the
world could save his country, Mr..
Harden declared.
The letter was read at conference
called to consider what reparation
Germany should be made to pay. Diff
ferences of opinion developed as to the
severity of the demands. Paul D.
Cravath, who recently visited Ger
many. declared it would be utterly
futile to saddle her with a heavy
repsration burden"
A Message to America
Mr.. Doubleday, the chairman, ex-
planned while studying conditions in
plained that while studying conditions
in Berlin he had talked with Mr.. Har-
den, and the latter had proposed to
send q message to America. Mr.. Dou-
bleday said he recently received the
letter and, in accord with an agree
ment, made it public.
In answering the question, "Do the
German people now repent all the evil
acts Of its government in 1914?" Mr..
Harden said that they were for a time
"ready to repent and merci.essly con-
demned Willie I'm II and all the imperial
system"
"But." he said. 'tthey have been made
tc change their minds since President
which were promised as a basis for
negotiations, have been withdrawn"
Since then, he said, millions of Ger
mans swear that the war was the re-
suit of conspiracy in which English
commercial envy, Russian desire for
conquest and French thirst for ven
geance cooperated.
Germany thought to acquire the
full rights to all advantages of the
fourteen points promised by President
Wilson," says the Harden letter. But
the armistice became dishonorable
And now at the end of 1920, before
even the amount OF the real reparation
is fixed, Germany, entirely impover-
ished snd drowning in a stream Of
paper money, must pay 130 milliards
Of marks in money, materials, imple-
msnts and goods.
Royalists Build on Despair
IF the yoke of occupation remains
upon Germany, then a new generation
will grow up of raging hates. Tie
deeper it is thrust into depair the more
fervently it is ailured by the prospect
Of violently throwing off the yoke. 1t
is on this that the monarchists are
reckoning. From the princes and their
agents one hears ever and again that
the financial catastrophe of the country
will also be the grave of the republic.
Therefore the masters of yesterday
want to wait until the German people
are fully reduced and bankruptcy has
become evident and any ohange in the

A great spirit of hatred for America
and Americans is sweeping over Con-
tinental Europe and will not be checked
until the advertising men of America
take the doctrine Of Americansm to
foreign shores and teach misguided
people the truth about this country's
attitude toward Europe, Alexander
konta, New York banker, told $50
members Of the Sphinx Club at its
annual dinner in the Waldorf-Astoria
Hotel last night. Mr.. Konta returned
pean countries, including Austria,
where he interviewed the President of
the Austrian Republic.
There is nothing resembling q
Christian spirit left in Europe" Mr..
konta said. II found a warlike spirit
everywhere, d belligerent attitude
among the people, but do not think
they would go back to the trenches
if war were declared In England there
is agitation for an army Of 100000 men
and in France and Italy there is con-
children talk about, but the enemy is
not named.
Mr.. Konta indicated he believed Ger
many was preparing for war, saying
that during an inspection of the great
krupp Works at Essen he was told that
1920 was the most successful year in
the history of that institution. Every
where in Germany, he said, he found a
sentiment in favor Of delaying compli-
ance with the terms of the Treaty Of
Versailles.
In Austria, Mr.. Konta said, the peo-
pie, especially officials of the new re-
public, were outspoken in their hostil-
ity to the treaty. Although apparently
down and out, Austria, he said, is still
in defiant mood.

statement on instructions from Wash
ington, in order to show that the VII
son government does not expect France
to accept less than the treaty gives her.
Mr.. Wallace says that America, with
drawal was neither dictated nor in
fiuenced by Frances desire to force
Germany to disarm and that Frances
alleged intention to occupy the Ruhr
had nothing to do with the present
decision. It is widely accepted AS
simply a move to give Mr.. Harding a

the American press representatives,
which said:
"The United States has participated
in the meetings of the Ambassadors
principally for the purpose Of dealing
with questions relating to the armi-
stice and also in order to keep con-
versant with questions relating to trea-
ties. pending action by the United
States upon them.
''In view of the fact that most of the
important questions relating to the
a1mistics have been disposed of, and
inasmuch as the Treaty Of Versailles
has not been ratified by the United
States, there appears to be no further
occasion for continuing the American
representation in the conference.
"There is no hidden reason for my
withdrawal. AS is we'll known, my
status has been that of an unofficial
ciic questions which have been handled
by the conference, such as the negoti,-
tion and signing of the treaty witch
Hungary. Now, after more than one
hundred meetings, after practically all
the questions in which the United
States was directly interested have
been settled, it is meet and proper for
America, since she has not ratified the
treaty, to withdraw her representative.
Assurance Given France
In an additional paragraph sent to
the French newspapers the ambassa-
dor said:
This decision no longer to take part
in the conference of the ambassadors
should not be misrepresented. Amer
lea cannot but condemn that spirit
which considers treaties to be the
equivalent of scraps of paper, and she
considers that those who provoked the
great war should be held to their en-
gagements, which were solemnly en-
tered into by the treaty"
This anti-German declaration on the
ev: of the Paris conference of Allied
Qremiers is expected to cause mild
Sensation. The declaration, which is
IN line with the assurance which Am
bassador Wallace is understood to have
| given Premier Leygues last night, is
likely to be accepted by the French
as Americas formal pledge that she
supports the French demand that Ger
many be forced to carry out the term:
of the treaty she signed.
French Feel Encouraged
France will be encouraged by this
assurance to take a strong position in
the event of further German evasion
The French already feel that it woulc
be better to settle these things, il

Hoyt in his complaint, which was

Frank Mcmahon. When she was en-
ployed by the candy company as
stenographer,. Hoyt said, she used to
introduce Mcmahon as her brother.
Mrs. Hoyt won fame as the "kissless

lation as Fortville, is now denied this
service.
The postmaster general bases his
suggestions for discontinuance of the
village mail delivery service on the
ground that the expense involved is
not warranted by the benefits received.
Basis of Suggestion
He states that as general rule in a
town which has such service the dwell
ings are clustered around the business
section, when is concentrated within
a space of one or two blocks. mo
patron, therefore, has any considerable
distance to travel for his MAIL" the
report reads, "and the bulk of the
mail is for the business houses, which
are within a few steps of the post
office. Some member of practically
every family has occasion to visit the
business section, near the post office,
one or more times daily, and their
mail can thus be obtained without in
convenience or special trip for that
purpose"
The average cost for village delivery
service is now about $1,000 per year
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1921-12-19

must have minimum of $4,000 gross
annual receipts.
In his annual report the postmaster
general states, this rule has since
been followed with but few excep-
tions," a statement which apparently
contradicts ruling made by the post
office department last month in re
fusing a petition for the establish
ment of village mail delivery service
in Middletown, Henry county, Indiana.
The ruling referred to reads, in part:
Must Be Urgent.
"The department has recently adopt
| ed the policy of declining to estab-
| lish village delivery at any postoffice
unless there are urgent service rea-
| sons therefor, such as congestion in
| the postoffice or inability to properly
| handle mail in any other way"
| About year ago village delivery
service was established in Fortville

ton of approximately 1900, about
three hundred less than the population

WORK OF NEWSPAPER
REPORTERS PRAISED
BY BEVERIDGE IN TALK

WABASH, Ind, Dec. 19-Albert J.
States senator from Indiana, address
ed a union meeting of the churches
here last night on "The Bible as Good
Reading" The First Methodist church,
where the meeting was held, could
hardly accommodate the large audi
ence
Mr.. Beveridge was greeted enthusi-
astically by many of his friends IN
Wabash.
Some of Mr.. Beveridge's friends
urged him to enter the race for the
Republican nomination as United
States senator in the 1922 primaries,
but Mr. Beveridge declined to COM
ment on politics. asserting that his
present trip was to discuss nonpolitf-
cal subjects only.
In discussing his subject Mr. Bev-
eridge said in part:
More than 800 years passed from
the time Gutenberg of Mainz invented
printing, until the beginning of mod
ern journalism AS we now under
stand that tremendously influential
profession, it is the growth of scarcely
more than half a century; yet it has
drawn to itself perhaps the brightest
minds and, speaking by and large, the
most sensitive consciences of the day.
Heart of Century
"The basis of this extraordinary in
tellectual development of what is call
ed civilization is the collecting and
reporting of news. The task of the
reporter and correspondent is the
throbbing heart of the twentieth CEN
fury journalism.
The art of reporting requires keen
intellectually, incessant energy, and
above ell, high and moral steadfast-
ness. The ethical is necessary in
Journalism more than any other phase
of modern life.
"The reason is obvious; the people
necessarily must depend upon the rec
ords of facts as presented in the daily
press. If these facts are not set forth
in proper proportion, the people have
no just or solid foundation for sound
andd accurate judgment.
"The reporter who willfully mis-
states facts is a public enemy; and
the same is true, of course, in a much
greater degree, of the managing editor
who, for any consideration whatever,
knowingly misleads the public.
The art of reporting, then, de-
mands on the part of the reporter, a
study of the best models. AS reader
Of the public press, | should say that
the essentials of reporting are accur-
acy, vividness, brevity and through all
the pure and indebted spirit of truth
fitness"
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1921-12-19

lie of the service to the people in
those communities. The suggestion
made in the postmaster generals cur
rent report for a discontinuance of
that service is evidently due to mis-
understanding on the part of some one
who does not know conditions in our
rural communities"
People Approve.
The development of the rural mali
delivery service, it's advocates in con-
gress contend, has demonstrated the
public necessity for this postal facility
as well as it's approval by the people it
serves. The second and third class

estimates, will bring the total pros
pective cost of the service to approx
mately s13,000,000 per annum, in the
event the service should be provided
for all third class offices, numbering
2,259. The appropriation for village
delivery service for the current fiscal
year is 100000. The service is now
established in TAG offices.
