Germany's Foremost PubIicist


Berlin, May 6.-The German people
are being fed with the same untruths
as during the war. They believe that
the treaty of Rapallo. which the boil
shevists openly call a means for ex-
tortion." is a huge success for German
craftsmanship. They are being led to
think that the spring drive on the
RIVERA was a great victory. They
have not been told that the government
must make feasible a method of max
ing the reparations payments due be
fore May 81 if the nation is not to be
given the reputation of a bad debtor.
Lloyd George is being portrayed to
them as the savior of Germany and
they do not realize that all this is an
election film preliminary to the Brit
ish parliamentary elections. They are
being led to think of him as ready for
any generosity toward Germany at the
expense of France. even though he
does not suggest returning our ships
and our colonies. !
Says Farley Cost Wasted
All Europe, imagining herself very
wise, dislikes to be reminded of facts.
1t does not realize that the thunder
and lightning, the sound of trumpets
and flutes. to which it has been listen
ing for the last four weeks all form
the introduction to the British cleo
tons. The gigantic apparatus set at
Genoa, where delegates from three
dozen states have spent 100, 100000
marks or their garden party and van
ity fair, which might better have been
expended in feeding the crowds of
starving children of Europe. is a fail
ure. None of the great economic prob
lens are any nearer solution than be-
fore it met. although this, naturally. is
MT admitted nv tho dptpUafpE nr tho /
press choir leaders. for who likes to
confess that nothing useful is being ac-
complished by a corporation to which
ones self belongs?
Only one person can look back on
the last 80 days with satisfaction
That is Lloyd George. For him Genoa
is q California wherein he is grinding
out the film for his next campaign. In
the last film he appeared as David who
slew Goliath with his sling and pro-
claimed THE kaiser must hang" Ger
many must pay until all of the losses
of the allied and associated nations
have been compensated" But now
the labor party and the Wings will
hear David the tender psalmist, whose
only care is world peace and universal I
happiness. F..
Press is Orchestra" {
This scene could not rave been stag {
cd SO easily in Great Britain. where ;
he would have encountered the real .
Tories and the opposition of the pow '
erful Northcliffe press and the Morn l

.periencing the greatest trade crisis in V
its history. now that it has 100000 v
unemployed that suffer under a fright !
full burden of taxation: the unrest in [
India is increasing the costly unsuc-
ressful effort to establish a British
over Meteca and Medina: the I
call for Zaglul. England's enemy in '
Egypt; in short, the whole empire is o
like a worn out dress which. so soon {
as mended in one place. breaks out in S
another. Such a nation is not easily
persuaded to r~e-elect the government n
which seems responsible for all this. e
But with the whole world as an audi t.
torium: with the worlds press as an p
orchestra. a director with dynamic ac- o
romplishments can hope for much %
greater effects. ii

lair flowing, poses as the world peace
maker.
