France and Reparation Money.

wv HATEVER may be said of the equitable
w right OF the United States to share in the
Forthcoming instament of German reparation funds,
the attitude OF the French government has direct
ness and logic which is brutally frank and difficult
to combat.
The argument runs somewhat along these lines:
You Americans at the time OF the Versailles. peace
conference sat in with and assisted in framing
the treaty, which became Immediately binding upon
u.s. but which your Senate in accordance with an
adverse vote by your people, refused to ratfy. 1t
is true you left a few regiments guard at the
Rhine, but it was to your interest we'll as ours
to see that the cmbers OF did not break into
a conhagration. You took no part in assisting
Poland to hold in check the Soviet armies and you
declined to take the guardianship of Armenia
when that jurisdiction assigned you for pro-
lection and supervision. You made a separate
treaty with Germany, although you did recognize
the efficacy of the Versailles treaty to the extent of
permitting OF your citizens to sit upon the
permanent international court which that treaty
established.
Now, it is not intention permit the
United States government to pick the soft places
and leave the duties for US to perform If you have
repudiated our treaty with Germany wherever it
suited your convenience to do so, we will assume
the same right by applying for our benefit the ad-
vantages and declining to share them with you,
when see our interest in making those benefits
exclusively own. Having set up your own
treaty with Germany, collect your indemnity through
that channel instead of through the Versailles
treaty, to which you forebore to become parti-
cipating party.
This argument by the French government sug-
gests that calm intellectual astuteness which made
Marshal Foch and the other military chiefs SO for
midable in their simple directness, during the world
war. OF France it may truly be said: Thy soul
like star and dwelt apart"-in her habit of
following the plain dictates OF scf-intc est in peace
as in war
The very mathematical correctness OF the rca-
sonng makes the argument difficult to combat.
But then there is to invoke than cold logic in
situation Of the kind. Logically Tor example,
the United States might have refrainel from going

doubts on Scientific Advance

To the Editor. The w.snhEGou Hersld:
believe the following has a worth
while message. May l have space for
it in the Open Court column?
Scientific achievement does not
necessarily indicate, intellectual ad-
vancement; for It is largely concerned
with the material. and is. therefore.
linked with the physical rather than
the Intellectual aspects Of life.
The stupid majority is all too
ready to shout Progress" from
every house-top. siRply because it
reached the eminence by electric
elevator. without eXertinE itself
physically. and without taxing its in
genuity beyond pressing a button.
Pressing a button! Pressing a
button! Figurstively speaking. we
spend the greater part OF our lives
pressing buttons. And what does
this lead to? II leads to physical
and mental Incidence. And what
does physical and mental Incidence
lead to? 1t leads TO lowered moral
tone, unhappIness, encouragement.
unrest and perhaps war. And what
Is the cause OF this? The cause is
this pursuit We are proud Of: this
pursuit which we pirate Of: this pur-
suit whose virtues we are all too
ready TO extol: scientific achievement.
Why?
Because IL has insinuated itself
into hundreds OF modern factories
doing to minute perfection work that
once taxed the ingenuity OF millions
OF skilled men. breaking their in
itiatiVe by thinking for them and
destroying their incentive TO do bet
ter and more work than their fellow
workmen by doing an equal qua nifty
and quality of work.
Thousands Of the best minds OF the
country are directing their entire
energies into the channel Of scientific
achievement: but this does not indi-
cate intellectual advancement. Why
Because intellectual advancement
(the only real advancementl is
marked by progress in art and liters
ture and in this respect We have NOT
progressed one step since Rembrandt
and Shakespeare. We delight to saw
that we live in an enlightened age -
but shall We say that Plato was less

TIMELY VIEWS
ON WORLD TOPICS

An interesting account Of the
progress which the Poles have made
In organizing their new republic on
hrm foundation IL given by B
+. Castle. of the Irving National
Bank of New York, upon his return
to New York after spending eleven
months in Poland in the banks in
terest.
Poland" ne said. has made con
sistent advances in adjusting her
political relationships with her
neighbor countries. and in develop
ing her industries and transporta-
tion facilities. She is one OF the
few countries in Europe which can
now feed her population with her
own products. The great outstsnd-
ing problem still unsolved is tina,
of putting her finances on a stable
basis. There are in circulation
more than 100000, 100000 Polish
marks. and it is absolutely neces-
sary that a currency be evolved
with an exchange value which will
permit the purchase of raw ma
terial and half-fnished articles
abroad before she can advance CON-
mercially. No one. thus far, seems
to know how this can be done with
out some form OF international CO.
operation.
The country's statistics on eX-
port and import trade show a large
adverse balance. but examination
OF the figures reveals that this has
been due almost entirely to imports
Of coal that came from Upper
Silesia. Now that large part OF
the Silesian coal fields have been
awarded to Poland. the 'unfavor-
able balance will be much reduced
and 1t is not too much to expect
that in a short time it will become
favorable.
Exports include. timber, sugar
and oil, and exports of cotton tex
tiles in quantity may be expected
soon. Despite unsettled conditions
the cotton manufacturing industries
can export from 30 to 40 per cent
OF their production on to Russia
and to adjacent countries north and
south. There is now a market for
enough of her textiles to permit the
cotton cloth industries to work one
shift a day. six days of the week
This is. a distinct Improvement over
months ago. The raw material for
the cotton industry Ia obtained
from America through German and
British brokers. 1t is being shipped
chiefly through Bremen, Germany
and thence by rail. -
Transportation facilities have
been much improved. During the
war. Germans took over most OF
the rolling stock. but in the last
year a large number Of cars and
locomotives have been returned
Poland has built some rolling stock
and has bought considerable
quantity--some of the locomotives
were bought in America. She also
has Increased the carrying capacity
of her railrsads by Increasing car
loading efficiency. There has been
an Increase of 20 per cent, both In
domestic loadings and transit load
