French Comment
on killing Rathenau

Paris. June 2J--The comment Of
the Paris newspapers is generally
favora bic to the personality of DR..
Walter Rathenau. German foreign
minister, and the newspapers declare
that the cause of his assassination
may be explained by his efforts
peacefully to arrange reparations
with France.
The German nationalist and mon
archists hatred of France are linked
with a blind desire for revenge in ex-
planning the crime.
The Figaro says:
1.-The assassination is the result of
the Pan German cNaltation and is
further proof of what the French
people have long realized regarding
Germany's hatred of France. Rath-
cnau was an obstacle to Germany's
immediate revenge. His idea was to
repair first the results of the defeat.
He did not boldly proclaim his in
tentiOnS as did SHINES and Iuden-
dorff France must realize that
there are but two doctrines in Ger
many: one for revenge now and one
for revenge later
