 He considered that the rnatarIa1 d;s armament of Germany had been real ized although he declared 1t was en- dangered by the easiness of converting her factories into means of maktn1 chemical war products As regards Ger many's moral disarmament, he said there were two Germanys: One consistine o@ the army, the universities, the state func- tionaries, the wealthy class and indus | trial leaders whose policy was based upon non-executiom of the peace treaties. and non-responsibility for the war, and the other composed chiefly of workers who, while detesting France, aboqninated war.
 The twa conditions which we muse strive to maintain" he continued, "are permanent control and execution of Ger many's long-term engagements as the
 surest guarantee that the equilibrium of
 Central Europe shall not be troubled, and a military force in France sufficient to convince Germany that the equilibrium, broken in our favor by the victory, is not on the point of being re-established or broken for her benefit.
