POLNCARE VISIT FAILS
TO EN7HUSE ENGLAND
Policies for Which He Stands Believed
Inimical to British Interest and
People Are Alert.

good the declining French population
now is frankly accepted as a French
military policy.
Political and economic disruption
seems to be the main motive Of Poin-
care. The master Poincare policy
seems to be the dismemberment OF
north and south Germany and French
domination over the coal and iron re-
sources OF central Europe. The re-
latfon of all this to the paralysis of
British trade now is apparent to the
public. We desire to remain friends
with France. but still there Is
general conviction that European
peace alone will restore European
prosperity and that France writes
to peace.
Grave Responsibility.
No one, more than Lloyd George
recognizes that he is gravely respon-
sible for the power he gave to France
to distate the policy during and
after the war. 1t suited his domes-
tic political purposes to be popular
in France. He paid an extravagant
price for this luxury. He now realizes
that the tide of public opinion is
turning and that nothing but a dras-
tic reversal of French opinion and
policy can prevent a serious rupture.
He has become instead of the hero
of France the particular target for
the animosities of the French news
papers.
The attitude Of the French press,
like that Of her music halls. long has
been surprisingly hostile to England,
oftentimes brutal and insulting. In
England the strength of the liberal
movement against a military agree
ment with France is powerful. Labor
opinion is emphatically the same. The
feeling on the subject has been
strengthened not alone by a sense Of
the calamitous policy upon which
France has embarked. but by a grow
ing knowledge Of the origin Of the
war and the share which the Poin-
care policy had in it. The mind OF
serious students is becoming pro-
foundly disturbed by a deepening con-
viction that Germany was by no
means the only culprit.
Liberal sentiment is growing rap
idly under the influence of the post
war policy to repudiate French mill
tarism the same as Prussian militar-
ism, and this is the feeling that over
shadows the visit of Poincare today.

LONDON. June 17.-Premier Poin-
cares visit to London this week end
arouses very little public enthusiasm.
The French Bismarck has never
touched the English imagination and
public opinion is changing slowly
hut profoundly under the influence
of the French policy of which he is
the chief inspiration. The change
would have come before but for the
pro French attitude of a portion of
the influential English press, the
Northcliffe newspapers being mere
echoes of the widest extravagances
Of the boulevard press. The glamour
of the war helped to obscure the vio-
lent conflict of the interests of the
two countries. That now is passing
and the naked realities are becoming
visible.
England. living by external COM
merce. finds her trade perishihg un-
der the ruin organized by France.
Twenty per cent Of our working popu-
lation is unemployed, living by doles,
costing the nation $500.000,000 an
nually. The demoralizing effect of
this vast outdoor relief is alarming.
Taxation is crushing. There Is no
sign Of recovery.
No Recovery In Sight.
1t is being realized that there is no
prospect of recovery while the French
military dictatorship of Europe
strangles all activities. The Wash
ington conference was the first real
awakening. The public here was
shocked by the revelation of the
astounding French submarine aims
Genoa increased this disquiet. The
silence as to the meaning and the
facts of the French policy of the last
three years is breaking down. The
enormous military dominance of
France no longer is ignored. 1t is
realized that there is no parallel that
can be drawn since Napoleon tram
pied over Europe. Her armies are
undiminished. Her aerial force is
nearly twenty times in excess of that
of England. Her devastated regions
still are unrestored. German labor

AUGUSTA, Me, June 17.-Warn-
ing against any general effort to

Controller of the Currency Girls
singer in an address before the
Maine Bankers Association. There
have been manifestations of
tendency of late, he declared. to
advance prices in directions
where they could reasonably be
considered a bit premature"
Such movement" Mr.. Girls
singer said. II feel. would just at
this juncture be likely to prove
-untimely and to bring unfortunate
consequences. I am quite familiar
with the fact that in general the
tendency is to buy on a rising
market and to sell on a falling
market. But that does not by any
means assure that business is
bound to get good when prices
are getting higher, or get worse
when prices are getting lower.
The great buying and consuming
public is not going to be brought
into the market by the cheerful
program of asking it to pay
higher prices when it has already
proved unable to pay lower ones"

Untermyer Declares Attor-

Bulge to Prosecute.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, June 17-Samuel I'm
termyer took another fling at Attor-
ney General Daugherty today in a
statement issued as he stepped aboard
the Majestic for a vacation in Eu-
rope.
In connection with the Attorney
Generals announced program for
prosecuting war fraud cases, the
counsel for the Lockwood committee
charged that because the Morgan
influence is too strong to withstand,
Mr.. Daugherty simply will not bulge"
toward prosecuting the General Elec-
trio Company for the monopoly the
committee alleges it holds over the
electric light bulb business OF the
nation.
IF Attorney General Daugherty
shows as much organizing ability and
desire to punish powerful war fraud
offenders as I have experienced in
the twenty-five or more antitrust
cases in which we have been vainly
trying to get action from him for
more than a year, we shall soon have
plenty of horn-tooting and other
forms of publicity and camouf1age,
under cover of which a few little
fellows may be crucified and every
really influential offender will slide
out under cover of the noise," said
Mr.. Untermyer. ..-.-
Having His Experiences.
Mr.. Daugherty Is grand past mas
ter in that art. have had and am
still having my experiences with him.

to withstand and he simply will not
bulge. 1 have offered to take charge
