Contractors.

Contractors, laborers, building
tradesmen and others interested in

cause to congratulate themselves on
the open fall weather, according to

Construction News and the Oklahoma

rather unusual to see the volume of
building under way on December l
which is likely to be under way on
December 1 of this year if the weather
holds another few days.
"Of course it is true that construc-

RUSSIA AND GERMANY

The way in which Russia and
Germany have thrown a monkey
wrench into the Genoa negotia
tons by making a separate treaty
with each other, coming on top
of the intractable and overbealing
attitude Of both countries in the
first days of the conference, is
naturally regarded by the Allies as
an outrage. 1t is similarly re-
garded by many Americans. The
move, however, is quite under
standable, to one who is able to
look at both sides.
Germany wanted the Allies to
talk separations, and the Allies re-
fused. Russia wanted the Allies
TO talk armament, and the Allies
refused. The two outlawed pow
ers were right, at least, in regard
ing these two questions as funda-
mental to any general reconstruc-
ton of Europe. Convinced, appar-
entity, that the Allies would not do
much for them, and feeling shut
out from the inner circle controil-
my inc CONFERENCE, lHtH pIOCttu-
ed to do what they could for
themselves.
The country most ponsible
for this situation is France. 1t
was France that barred repara-
tons and armies from the Genoa
program. and was most insistent
in its opposition to any concilia
ton or compromise with regard to
Russia and Germany.
As a result, there is established
the beginning Of an economic ALI
anee between the two giants that
may hold the future of Europe in
their hands. Russia can get what
industrial supplies and skill she
needs from Germany. Germany
can get raw materials from Rus
sia, and exploit the Russian mar
ket German economic penetra-
ton may extend eastward, posi-
bly, even to the Pacific. There
may also be military penetration,
in time.
Central and Eastern Europe are
now banded against western
Europe, at least potentially. 1t
is a plain warning to France and
her friends of the need of mod
Grafton before it is too late.
