lieves in it with her entire faith
il there is a country that does this,
gentlemen, it is France.
Many Disappointments.
"Since the armistice we have had
many disappointments. France
has had to wa tor certain realiza-
tions which she has not been able
to get. She has seen Germany d.
gress-haggle over the signature
which had been given. Germany
has refused to stand by her pledged
word. She has refused TO pay com
pensation due for the devastated
regions. She has declined to make
a gesture of chastisement that after
all. every man of sense would ex-
pect after the horrors we have wit
messed. Germany has refused to
disarm, ...-
AT that time France was strong
and Germany could not resist.
Public opinion in France was nat
urally impatient, while under TINS
proyocation France remained per-
fectly cool. There was not one
gesture on her part to aggraVate
the situation. l may say emphati-
callv in the face of the world we
have no hatred in our hearts, and
France will do everything she can,
She will use every means TO pre-
vent between Germany and her-
self a recurrence Of this bloody
conflict.
..No Right To Forget"
She wishes for nothing else but
that the two peoples should be able
10 live side by side in the normal
conditions of peace. But after an
we have no right to forget. we
have no right to abandon ourselves.
We have no right to weaken our
position. And were it only because
we must avoid giving rise in the
bosom that would only be ready 10
take advantage Of it, to give rise
to certain hopes that would be en-
couraged by our weakness.
"Gentlemen. l spoke Of the moral
aspect of disarmament, ana re-
ferred to Germany. / do not wan
to be unjust; nothing Is lurlhei
from my mind. But we know there
is in Germany-there is one part Oh
Germany that is for peace. Thefe
are many people, especially among
the working classes, who want 10
work, who have had enough OF TINS
war, who have had enough or war
altogether and are most anxious 10
settle down in peace, and also 10
set to work. We shall do every.
thing to help that Germany, ana II
she wants to restore her balance IN
tho bosom of a pacific republic and
democratic institutions, then we
can help her, and we snail all Dc
able to contemplate the future WIN
feelings of security.
Another Germany.
"But, gentlemen, there is another
Germany, a Germany which has not
changed her mind and to which the
last war has taught no lesson. That
Germany keeps thoughts IN the
back of her mind; she has the same
designs she entertained before the
war; she has kept the same preoc-
equations and she cherishes the
same ambitions as the Hohenzol-
Terms did. And how can we close
our eyes to this? How can we ig-
more this state of things? This,
gentlemen, is happening at our
very doors, we have only got 10
look. This is happening but few
miles from us, and we follow the
thoughts of the Germans, or certain
Germans and the evolution which
is taking place And, more than
that. we have witnessed certain at
tempts to return to the STAKE Oh
things. Nobody could be mistaken
about the real bearing of what was
called the Kapp Putsch. We know
very veil that If it had succeeded
Germany would have returned to
her pre-war sta>e. And, we do not
know what might have happened
or rather we know too well what
would have been the consequences
of such a state of things.
Ludendorff's Book.
"Gentlemen, a volume has been
published by no less a man than
Field Marshal Ludendorff, who still
enjoys great authority in many
German circles, and who Is fol-
lowed by a great part of the elite in
Germany, professors, philosophers
writers, etc. We do read in this
book. Gentlemen, I should not
like to make. too many quotations.
