their previous pledges and all OF Mr.. Will
strategy in London led to swift and COM
plete disaster
For the moment Germany has failed to
separate France and Great Britain In
reality she has thrown them more closely
together than they have been since the hour
of the armistice. But the fact remains that
British and French interests are still diver
gent. The German is wholly sound in cal
culating that while France, mainly an
agricultural State with only a moderate in
dustriai life and a restricted export trade, is
little affected by German economic paralysis,
the opposite is the case with Great Britain,
whose present crisis or unemployment is due
in some degree to the closing of the German
market and to those other central European
markets in which the German played the
part of middeman.
If the British have been momentarily dis
austed with the German tactics if they now
support Lloyd George in an effort to compel
German submission even at the price of new
coercion, the major fact remains the same,
that this coercion will prove an expensive
luxury for the British, even if no British
troops are used. 1t will prove expensive
because ii will automatically reduce the
value Of the German market and if, as is
possible, there be domestic disorders in Ger
many following the new occupation. the loss
to the British will be still greater.

and the misconduct of the vehicle with the
close, individual attention of those who have
something of their own at stake. An air
of tenseness overhangs the interior, almost
visible in the internal atmosphere-the car
becomes on each journey the Juggernaut of

appears to have gained his experience-and
his dilettante spirit-driving an army truck
in the war.

the United States. So far the German has

be regarded as permanent than the
Anglo French.
1t follows, then. that all German foreign
policy since the armistice has been directed
toward two things; toward establishing the
importance for the British and American
exporters of the German market and their
interest In preserving it; and toward sepa-
rating France from Great Britain and the
United States and Great Britain from the
United States. On the success Of this
strategy ultimately rests the hope Of Ger
man escape from the consequences of her
military defeat.
Now looking back over more than two
years the whole German operation is spread
before the thoughtful observer. Germany
has played the commercial game with con-
summate skill. She has found in foreign
economists and bankers; in those OF the
Keynes school and in other schools precious
allies. She has reused the apprehension of
British and American producers over the
perlis alike of the degeneration of the Ger
man market following too onerous eXactions
and the dangers of paralysis in their own
home markets due to overstimulation Of
German industries to pay German ndemni-
ties.
Seeks TO Tempt the French
To Go to Extreme Measures
At the same time she has carried on with
respect of France q campaign of exaspera-
tion designed to tempt the French to extreme
measures without regard to Anglo American
sentiments and thus to separate the Allies.
She has steadily refused to meet the dis
armament terms so far as they affect land
condtions-that is, French interests, while
making no protest to complete compliance
with the naval conditions, which concern the
British. Last summer her policy moved the
French to the occupation OF Frankfort with
out British approval thus putting a sudden
and dangerous strain on Anglo-F French rela-
tions.
Meantime. do not think any American IS
Gnmindful OF the fashion in which German
propaganda has been at work In the United
States, at work against both Great Britain
and France operating sometimes under the
cover or the Irish question, sometimes
frankly exploiting Anglo-American rivalres
and in a recent instance endeavoring to
make capital out of a wholly false issue of
French black troops and the co-called
Rhine Horrors" The underlying purpose in
each case has been 10 separate France from
Britain or to embroil Britons with Ameri-
cans.
Confident that this campaign had reached
4 satisfactory point the Germans went to

Propaganda Offensive Abroad
Based on Different Lines

So much for the manipulation on Tho
home front AS to the enemy front tht
scheme has been, OF course, quite different
At bottom the Germans have based all theii
operations on two clear conceptions:
/. The economic solidarity of the world
is indisputable. ruined Germany must
affect the whole industrial situation of
the world, both from the economic and
the political sides-from the economic
because Germany Is great market for
foreign countries, from the political be-
cause there is always the peril OF

sociation which won the war is by no
means natural alliance and cannot be
expected to endure in peace time. Great
Britain and the United States have
enormous interest in preserving the
German market for their own products
and raw materials. France with such
interest is bound to seek TO reduce
German strength and thus to encounter
Anglo American opposition. But the
Anglo-American association is more to
