Russia Breaks Through

No Longer Alone.
BRITAIN rs FOR HARMONY
Lloyd George Shows She Will
Not Support Alliance for
Revenge.
by SIR PHILIP GIBBS.

Special Cable to THE New YoRK HERALD.
LONDON, May 6.-The Genoa confer
ence still dominates and interests all
people who look beyond their front
parlor to the great world with its pas
sionate problems, and who understand
even little the tremendous drama of
current history. To my mind there
emerge very clearly from all recent
crises of this conference certain vital
issues upon which European civiliza-
ton is staked.
Is it possible for Europe to ar
range any pact of peace which shall
be more than breathing space be-
fore another international conflict Is
it humanity probable that Germany will
abandon all hopes of revenge against
France and accept for all time the
penalties imposed on her by the Treaty
OF Versailles? Will France under
Poincare take violent action against
Germany alone if need be to enforce
payments which will make Germany
bankrupt, or will France modify her
claims in order to secure allied sup
port? Above all, is the German-r Rus
sian treaty future threat to Euro
pean peace?
These are questions that must be
answered at Genoa or afterward. They
cannot be thrust into the background

the sole exception OF the representatives
OF Soviet Ukrainia. who are Bolshevists
and are governed from Moscow. Apart
from this Ukrainian Soviet, Vienna has
two more or less Acknowledged Ukrai-
nian diplomatic missions, with the right
OF issuing passports and other preroga-
tives. but without country, as the
greater part Of the Ukraina Is In the
hands Of the Bolsheviki and the rest is
occupied by the Poles. There are also
several Ukrainian Governments in
Vienna. ! am not sure how many, as
every tenth Ukrainian has the habit of
starting new Government But two
of them are to be found regularly every
afternoon in the Cafe Casa Piccola on
the Mariahilferstrasse, each at a sep
arate table with a complete set of Min
listers.
The Premier OF one of these Is VASTLY
Wyschyvany. formerly Archduke will
helm. AS a rule. rival Governments of
one and the same country are on very
bad terms. But this does, apparently,
not apply to the two Casa Piccola Gov
ernments. They maintain something like
diplomatic relations by sending each
other their foreign ministers and nego-
tiating extensively over matters which
nobody but an UKrainian will ever be
able to understand.
Whereas the average Ukrainian Min
lister. including the Premier. has n COM
paratively easy task, as the possibilities
for governing are naturally very re-
stricted, the Ministers of Finance have
1t pretty hard, as they must find the
necessary funds for keeping up the show
and paying tho consumptions of the
Cabinets. There are several versions as
to what all these Ukrainian diplomatic
missions and governments live on. Some
OF them have managed 10 get hold OF
public funds. others seem TO issue post
age stamps from time TO time, and in
some cases they are supported by rival
foreign Governments. who use them as
tools for the achievement OF their own
political ambitions.
In any case the two Governments In
the Cafe Casa Piccola are not a joke.

Vienna can easily convince himself of

there is always a chance that one OF
them may suddenly dissolve or remove
to another place in the neighborhood

exactly what has happened and where

art, and they desire TO know how-or
why-we do Il. And now they are
going to establish a great museum OF
our art, so that they may find what
forms and colors are salable here.
About a year ago a great shipment
OF beautiful Japanese dolls and toys
was returned to Japan because they
did not sell here. The reason given
and accepted was that American chill
dren were not interested in slanting
eyes and olive complexion. Now the
Japanese mean TO make their toys in
conformity to western ideas of prettl-
ness.

Technical Training Does Not
Nullify Liberal Education

Education is individual; it is not a
machine product. There is great need
to-day for the technical training. but
the need for the liberal training is no
less imperative. People must be able
TO 90. but they must know what to do
and why to do. They need to think
and in thinking must be able to grasp
subject not from a limited point of
view but In its entirety.
Life is in its nature limited. and
human understanding, too, is not all
comprehensive in its grasp. In the
nature of things some must attend TO
the particular work of particular ma
ehines, as it were, others must have the
more comprehensive grasp OF tho
whole plant. We need the technical
worker, but we need the other tyne of
mind as well. In many cases we can
hnd both persons IN one individual if
that individual has had the wider
training. 1t is obvious that such
training is not practicable for all
some have not the inherent capacitv
10 master such tasks; others are pre-
vented by economic reasons from nor
toilowing such a course TO it's goal
Ihese limitations exist, but in nv
judgment the best specialist is the one
who builds his splendid special study
upon the broad foundation of the

summer may be material. The date
when the paper was signed may be
very material or 1t may be of no par
ticular Importance. In recent case
the Judge directed the acquittal where
a witness swore that he received on
separate days two important letters
which, in fact, were not written until
several weeks after the witness swore
he received them.
The last loophole in the definition Of
perjury-that the witness must de-
clare ito be true which he knows to
be false" resulted in so much difficulty
that section 1926 was added to pro-
vide that: IAN unqualified statement
of that which one does not know to
be true is equivalent to statement Of
that which he knows to be false
Contradiction Now Presumptive.
1t is so easy for the defendant ac-
cused of perjury to testify that his
false statement was an innocent mis-
take where he was misinformed about
the facts or where his memory was in
accurate. Even in cases where the
same man had testified on different
occasions to contradictory statements
he would say that he had learned
better or that his memory had been
refreshed or faded. To meet this loop
hole section 1927 was enacted ito pro-
vide that contradictory written swear,
ing was presumptive evidence Of per-
jury.
One of the most common forms OF
perjury is in civil cases to put in a
false answer TO get delay. The call
endar of the Supreme Court of New
York county is more than two years
behind. The effect of an answer which
raises material issues is to delay the
trial. and delay is always an aid to
the defendant. 1t is not uncommon
for defendant to put in a. denial of a
contract which he signed or of ar
agreement which he made or the re-
ceipt OF goods which were delivered
to him. Especially where the defend
ant is in financial straits and unable
to meet his obligations he is liable tC
swear to a false answer.
In not one of hundred Of these
cases is there any attempt to prose
cute for perjury. Where there is such
an attempt the usual defense Is that

his iawyer drew and did not realize
that he was committing perjury ano

career in avoiding direct break up.
But Poincare, the French President,
at home with his people and aware OF
their passion rising gustily day by
day, made his terrific speech at Bar
le-Duc. in which he made 1t plain that
he regarded the German-Russian
treaty as a direct menace to France
in future years and would take no
chances now,
The Nations Aroused.
Every national fear and passion,
every delegate of every nation repre-
sented and every Journalist OF all
these nations was excited and
aroused From Genoa the wires or
the world throbbed with words OF
anger, doubt, distress. Those who
wanted to kill the conference. all those
of France and some of England, saw
here their splendid chance. All those
who wanted to kill Lloyd George as a
political force, all those Of France and
many of England, We're quick to get
the message of the crisis through TO
their papers and public. And Lloyd
George and his little band of comrades

than their little regulations, heard in
the bowling of this storm menace OF
future evil destructive of Europe's
chance of peace and very tragic in its
consequences to the mothers of boys
and men still young.
For let there be no mistake about
this business. Out of Genoa will come
a reasonable chance of peace for many
years or dreadful certainties Of war as
soon as the forces still spent after the
recent conflict have renewed their
these issues. They cannot be thrust

ostrich. Indeed, they have appeared
like skeletons at the feast, rafting

cepted. until those problems have been
discussed and solved.
Fatal Blunders.
The first fatal blunder of the con-
ference, in my judgment, was the de-
cision. forced by FranceA to leave out
all reference to German indemnities.
That is at the root of all economic
and political problems in Europe. Some
better and more reasonable way of
payment from Germany must be de-
vised before there can be any pact OF
peace. All the evidence shows that
Germany cannot continue to pay on
the present scale without financial col
lapse and reputation, in which case
France assuredly will use her mill
tary strength, unless restrained oy her
allies, and even despite their restraint,
In that case Germt ny will use Rus
sia as her drill ground and arsenal for
future vengeance and escape. That
would be an inevitable menace which
would keep the nerves of Europe on
edge until another crash came. So
Lloyd Georges pact of peace, glorious
as it is in imagination. would be but
a sham truce if it contained such high
explosives as the French claim to adj
vance into Germany in the event of
her default.
The second blunder at Genoa was
the method of dealing with the Rus
sian delegates. Agreement was pos
sible upon the Russian problem be-
tween Germany and Great Britain,
with France If she liked to join, long
before the Genoa conference began
Owing to home politics in England and
France the chance was missed Of con-
fronting Russia with an agreed ulti-
matum with severe conditions IN re-
turn for economic aid. conditions
which would have satisfied public
opinion.
Russians Split Farley.
AS it is, the Russian delegates have
assumed the dictation of the confer
ence, have argued every point with
Oriental casuistry and slipped in with
their German treaty, which split the
conference as though by a sharp
sword. I see an intense personal
drama here as well as political prob
lem. Lloyd George, surrounded by
faithful followers who know his caree;
is at stake on failure or success, was

was revealed. 1t was not the terms

- HERE was a perfectly natural
state of excitement engendered
Il in the art sales rooms of New
York when a rumor reached the city
that a mysterious japanese who had
been buying at extravagant prices all
sorts of valuable pictures, tapestries,
potteries, &c, was coming to TINS
country with similar purpose. His
name was given, but while the rumor
awaited confirmation it told very little.
But that he was going or had gone
about France. Austria and Italy buy
ing up every art treasure in sight was
told over and over again in series OF
cable dispatches.

The son or the father or both are be-
hind the movement of the great Mu-
scum of Occidental Art which is soon
to rise on the slopes of hill overlook
ing the Bay OF Toxic and in sight OF
famous Fujiyama.
The younger Matsukata kept step
with the conference and did not buy
any pictures until he returned TO New
York, and then he did not reveal inter-
est in even genuine antiques. He
bought instead examples of Inness,
Chase, Davies, Mary Cassatt, just as
he had bought in England paintings
by Whistler Abbey, Sargent and Shan
non, as well as canvases by modern
Englishmen, including Frank Brang-
wyn, Sir William Orpen, Augustus
John and ID. Y. Cameron. Brangwyn
was engaged by him TO draw plans for
the museum buildings.
Matsukata has made no secret OF
why he has. been purchasing with the
greatest lavishness every kind of west
ern art. It is In order that the Jap
anese may learn our ways in art. as he
has already learned them in war and
commerce and master them and make
their profit OF them. There is not the

verbiage, leaving out the root causes
