Gerard Tells of
RussO-German Pact
By James w. Gerard.
Former Ambassador to Germany.
Copyright, 1922, by NEA Service)

New York-What have for year
or more predicted in speeches and ar
ticles has happened.
Germany. forced into a corner, by
the demand for sums greater than can
be wrung from the German people, has
chosen to make an alliance with Rus
STA and to seek from the economic
benefits to be derived from such ALI
ance the wherewithal to pay her
pressing creditors.
Few people realize that for years the
commercial language of Russia was
German, that the educated part of the
population of the Baltic states is Ger
manic, and that from the men of
German descent in these states were
chosen many of the best generals and
administrators of the old Russia.
And as surely as night follows day
there will follow military alliance
between Germany and Russia.
France may we'll fear the day when
the hordes of Russia, drilled and dis
ciplined by Germans, led by Germans,
with all the vast resources of Russia
administered by Germans, will pour
across Europe in that constant drive
to the west which seems a brute in
stinct of all Europeans
The new Poland will disappear, once
more partitioned between Germany
and Russia.
No more important and startling
event than this alliance has happened
since that Armistice Day, when the
kaiser's empire fell.

A continuance of two weeks was

the arguments for a new trial for
1gnatz Potz, convicted of the killing
OF William Peterson, in the Wauke,

noon. when was argued by Attorney
Lester E. Williams, that new and

Attorney Williams arrived in court
after an early trip to Kenosha where
he had a conference with Judge Rob
ert Verne Baker who defended Bar
tole, and who has intimated that he has
several strong points to addfto those
already filed in the. request for a new
trial.
1t was said that a charge that per-
jured testimony had been given against
Potz would be urged at the hearing two
weeks hence. The identity Of the per-
son giving the testimony was not made

had been discovered Gin the vicinity
of Kenosna."

Williams, "but he has not. yet entered
his appearance in the case"
II ccsn not say just what the new
evidence will be, because it might in
jure our case were it to be made public,
at this time" Attorney Williams add
ed. Il can safely say, however, that
our case will be materially strengthen
ed by the addition of new evidence"
Judge Edwards set the date for the
arguments for new trial for Satur-
day morning, May 6. He stated that
this would be the last continuance and
the arguments for a new trial must be
started on that date.
Il cannot sentence Potz until after
June 1, anyway, so there is no reason,
for US to rush these arguments" said
Judge Edwards, "In order to leave
the defense open to appeal to the su-
preme court if their arguments do not
warrant a new trial, the statutes will
not. permit sentencing the defendant
until after June l."

Genoa.-The French delegation to the
economic conference has submitted a
protest against the German reply to
the allied note in which the Germans
stated they would refrain from dis
eussing Russian questions settled in
the Russo German treaty. The French
contend that the Germans under their
reply may insist upon discussing other
Russian questions.
Hope for New Conference.
Hope that world conference, with
the United States participating would
be held after the Genoa meeting, was
expressed by the German counsellor,
DR.. ,Wirth, at meeting of Germans
last night. The Genoa conference it
self is a step forward in the recon
struction of the world, he said, but
this could not be completed without
the United States.
Actual work on a plan for the re-
construction of Russia was started to-
day by experts representing the Soviet
government, Great Britain, France,
Italy, Japan, Belgium, Czecho Slovakia
and Holland. The heated politics sur
rounding the Russian problems has
been cooled by NJ. Chitcherin's note
accepting in the main the allied form
ula stating the terms on which the
great powers are willing to resume
business relations with Russia.
Sir Edward Grigg, private secretary
to the British premier, and others
prominent in the conference have made
it clear that no proposition has been
put forward for government loans to
Russia nor govermet guarantees of
loans. The idea of the financial and
economic experts is that when Russia
reaches position where she can give
investors assurance that there will be
legal basis for undertakings in Russia
and that foreigners will have protee-
ton under proper courts, abundant
credits will be forthcoming for the
development of Russia.
The single important point of differ
ence between the Russians aud allies
representatives is the unwillingness of
the former to restore the freehold
title of foreigners property which has
been mathematical or requisitioned by
Russia although they are willing to
restore it to the former owners for
their use.
