pact The psychologists learned that
Lloyd George drew the keenest disap-
pointment Of his life from the Genoa
conference so keen that the famous
Lloyd George smile almost completely
disappeared before the fifth week had
passed. The Tribune assigned a well
known Hungarian artist 70 record the
proof with few well chosen lines.
Psychologists had a brand new sub
ject in George 1ehitcherin, the Moscow
diplomat. They discovered that Tchi-
teherin, once a member Of the Cars
aristoeratic diplomatic corps, has a
weakness for pretty women. but is an
uneompromising and typical Red fighter
when dealing with capitalistie col
leagues OF the diplomatic set. The
frst discovery was made on the ocea-
sion of big reception given by the
Genoa municipality in the ancient du-
cal palace where the fsirest Of Genoesc
society gathered to welcome visitors on
a basis OF equality. While Tehi-
tcherin's Soviet colleagues, in their
evening suits and boiled shirts. wan
dered about the great rooms, rubbing
shoulders with the bourgeoisie as If to
the manner born, Tchitcherin was cor
rallied by the beautiful young Genoese
to write autographs, duty which he
accomplished with paradoxical amiabil-
ity throughout the evening.
Psychologists will doubtless suggest
that the capitslistie nations Of Europe
send their fairest Of the feminine sex
TO The Hague. where another attempt
is 10 be made TO make some agreement
with Moscow. Genoa seems to have
proved that regular diplomatic methods
arc useless.
Premier Skirmunt Of Poland could
testify that an amicable arrangement Of
any kind with the chief Soviet delegate
was impossible, fact which also served
in large measure to erase the famous
Lloyd George smile.
Skirmunt met Tehiteherin at lunch
con in a restaurant on the hills over
looking Genoa one day and the fight
started. Skirmunt attempted TO con

Is Germany a Monarchy?


Professor Axel Won Freytag-Lorine-
hoven. Of Breslau University. recently
argued that the Germany Of to-day was
lawfully no republic at al. The Pras-
sian Diet thereupon received from the
Social Democratic party an inquiry TO
this effect.
"In the lecture on German and Prus-
sian constitutions delivered by Professor
Won Freytag- g-Loringhoyen in the winter
term. 1922. a, Breslau University
he expressed, among others, the follow
ing views; The present republic exists
illegally. In reality We have siili

arch. Three reasons 60 20 prove that
the republic does no; exist legiiimately:
in the first place, an imperial Secretary

that the Kaiser abdcaied as German

did not abdicate as King Of Prussia
