Encouraging Germany
the Editor of The iTr;huna

~0~~N~~~N~F
To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: AT this crucial time, when Of
hand advisers are trying to impress
American opinion with the necessity
of interfering in European affairs,
think that the unjust suspicion and
prejudice which are being instigated
against France by skillful propaganda
would vanish if the bipartisan Amer
lean press would consider more thor
oughly than heretofore the psyche.
logical and moral side of the issue Of
the reparations still owed by Germany,
guilty of the war.
The remarkable study by your corre-
spondent w. B. Stevenson in The Trib-
une of last Sunday shows conciusively,
that the German people, as G y7ssss--s.
have remained unpenitent, militaristis
and revengeful In heart and spirit
Germany will never repair the havoc
she has caused to the world, and espe-
cially to France, if she is not made to
do so by whatever coercive measures
are adequate to her peculiar psychol-
ogy.
Mr.. Lloyd George has so far sacsa-
feed all the principles sf right for
which nations like individuals, must
stand to his political ends, with the
sad results that the world at largo
can already appreciate. His firtatioa
with Soviet Russia has ended in the
Genoa and Hague failures; his support
OF Greece, disloyal 30 the Allies in the
war, is ending in the present Greek
disaster and has caused the general
unrest Of India; his sabotage of peace
and his present stand are encouraging
Germany in her spirit of revolt ard
fake insolvency Il. D.

Students of the origin and causes of
of the World War will find much
food for thought in the volun1inous
work which the German government
is now publishing, presenting from
the German point of view the politi-
cal history Of the Reich from its foun-
dation in 1871 down to 1914. When
complete it will comprise at least
forty volumes. The first installment
OF SIX volumes has just appeared,
bringing the narrative down to the
episode of Dropping the Pilot"
in 1890. All that was long time
before the tragedy of Sarajevo and,
would at first thought appear to have
no relation to the World War. Yet
1t contains one suggestive foreshad-
owing of the policy of Germany in
1914.
1t was during the brief reign of
Frederick III. The Crown Prince.
afterward William II, was develon-
ing the injudicious habit of writing
personal comments on the margins
of official dispatches and other docu-
ments. This caused the Iron Chancel-
lor to write him letter of remon-
STRANGE, couched in terms of grave
irony. If, he said, the Crown Prince
was dissatisfied with the policies
which had been pursued since the
creation of the empire and if he
wished to establish new policies for
the purpose of bringing on war, then
Iit would be highly desirable SO to
New-York tribune., 1922-09-04

shape those new policies that the
German people would think when
war came that their government had
not provoked nor sought it but had
been forced into it in self-defense.
ITO irritate Russia he added, so
that she will begin d war is, with
clever diplomacy, quite possible. ;"
However, he thought that it would be
better to have the war begin on the
Western than on the Eastern front.
In the light of what happened in
1914 those words of Bismarck's
seem prophetic. He meant them
ironically But William Hohenzol-
lern always was destitute of gense
Of humor and of ability to appreciate
sarcasm. 1t Goes not seem to be far
fetched, therefore, to suppose that
he took what was meant to be ad-
monition an advice, and that he
adopted a sardonic suggestion as a
prescription to be followed liter
ally. Certainly he pursued, more than
a quarter of century later, pre-
cisely the policy which Bismarck had
outlined - irritating Russia yet
beginning the war in the West
rather than in the East, and per-
suading the German people that it
was a war of self-defense and not
of aggression.
Bismarck wrote the words quoted
in 1883, and died in 1898. Per-
verted to the contrary of what he
intended, his counsel prevailed in
1914 through the will of the man
who, after having heard that coun-
sci, dismissed him from the Chan
cellorship as an unprofitable servant
New-York tribune., 1922-09-04

The hard-coal peace has been con-
cluded, but there will be no jubila-
tion over it except in the camp cf the
mine workers. 1t is a harsh peace,
dictated with conquesors arro-
ganee. No easier terms could be ex-
pected from Mr.. Lewis, flushed as he
was by his victory over the soft coal
operators.
The settlement rubs in on the pub
lie the penalties Of the soft-coal sur
render at Cleveland. The war.wage
scale was extended in the bitunainous
field only until Marcf. 81, 1923; but
in the anthracite field it is to be ex-
tended five months longer. This is,
apparently, sort of bonus to the
anthracite miners for quitting work
last April to help along Mr. Lewis's
fight to prevent a wage defation in
soft-coal territory. The anthracite
operators, faced with bargaining
demand for 20 per cent increase,
would have conceded at almost any
time renewal of the 1921-'22 wage
scale. In fact, they made such
proposition several weeks ago; but
other issues were dragged in to de-
lay an agreement until after union
victory in the bituminous field was
assured. Coal politics, therefore, not
only inspired the anthracite lay-off
(eyen the miners have refused to call
it strike) but prolonged it into
September, thus depicting hard-coal
stocks by 30,o0o,oo0 tons.
So far as the anthracite miners
are concerned the public will have to
go on paying excess labor costs for
another year. Mr.. Lewis is to have
his pound of flesh bond. But what
will the operators do? Will they be
able to persuade the consumer that
they haye received a mandate"
from him to continue selling coal on
a war-price basis?
The Federal government and the
state governments will expect the
coal to be marketed this winter at
reasonable rates. They are creating
agencies to protect the public
against gouging- against famine
charges. The operators are mistaken
if they believe that the public has
consented to pay through the nose
for the five months shutdown in the
coal industry.
Coal is basic commodity. It's cost
enters into the cost of nearly every
ether commodity. Uneconomic pro-
duction, with seasonal vacations and
constant quarreling between opera
tors and miners, is national aff1ic-
tion. The chronic sickness Of the in
dustry must be cured in the general
interest. Now is the time to begin
curing it. The country will stand
firmly behind Federal and state
legislation to reorganize production
and distribution and make a repeti-
tion of this years wasteful shut
&down impossible.

To a Cricket

10 Cricket
No doubt you fancy that your
strain
Repeatedly repeated
Falls on my ears like golden rain
(Most singers are conceited)
You think to cheer me when I'm
Is your nocturnal mission;
Instead Of which you drive me
mad
With that weird repetition.
/ cannot read, I cannot think;
My freside dreams evade me,
When you, within some chimney
chink,
Begin to sarenade me.
From out your hoarse and husky
throat,
That must be lined with
leather,
There comes one note, one stri-
dent note,
Fer hours and hours together.
A gutteral moan the pigeon
blends
With his untuneful cooling,
Variety the tomcat lends
To raucous back-fence wooing;
But you keep harping on one
key
No earthly power can still
you
Arousing the desire in me
To seek you out and kill you.
The poets in their, laws for years
To h art h S d song have
spurred you,
Which proves they have defec-
tive ears,
Or else they never heard you.
No poet yet has done me wrong,
And so I'll not revile 'em;
But you must find another song,
Or some snug asylum.

HOOVER SAYS HE'LL
FIX COAL PRICE:
(By Associated Press)

Washington, May 31-Secre-
tary Hoover today assumed re-
sponsibility for fixing a reason
able price on spot coal during
continuation of the present coal
strike. Opening the conference
here today of union and non
rnion operators in the producing
fields, Hoover declared that any
agreement between the operat-
ors looking toward fixing a price
on coal even though in the in
terest of the public, would be IL
legal. He, therefore, asked the
individual operators \ to agree
with him upon reasonable
price for coal in their respective
districts. He said a fair price
would depend upon the condition
i'll each district and where pre-
profit offering begins and ends.
He said there is no shred of law
to enforce a fair price or pre-
vent prohteering.
