pay without national bankruptcy.
Might Obtain Pledge.
In return for that concession from
France. which England desires not
for any love Of Germany, but to save
European peace recovery. Great Brit
ain might obtain pledge OF peace from
Germany and Russia regarding
France. guaranteed by all European
powers. That would be a pact OF
peace such as Lloyd George vaguely
desires. butt with special references
and guarantees to France. whose pres
ent apprehensions are fully justified.
In my opinion, such a solution is
possible on one condition only. II is
that the United States should CO.
operate in this peace plan to the
full extent Of her political and eco
nomic influence. 1t is too much to
hope even now that the United States
should realize that without her in
fiuence as arbitrator and creditor,
without her moral support on the side
Of peace. thee is only one alternative
IN Europe and that is a regrouping
Of powers according to the old belief
in force? Unless the United States
backs the Lloyd George school Of
thought the Poincare point OF view
will win. ] fear in that case France
will lose first and most because less
even than Great Britain could she
AFFORD that war for which all nations
would prepare. however long might
be the breathing space of fevered
peace.

COUNTESS TAKES
TRIP IN STEERACE
Deplores Heated, Stuffy
Rooms in Which Poor Class
Must Travel.

NEW YORK, May -5.-Countess
Christine Rosenkrantz. daughter of
one of the richest men in Dem
mark, Baron Wedell, has always
taken an interest in how the other
half lives.
On her many ocean travels en-
joying the tennis courts. swimming
pools, and other luxuries of the
first class liners, she. has often
wondered what it was like down
in the depths of the ship where
the Immigrants huddled with the
big bundles that contained all their
worldly goods.
So, coming to America to inves-
tigate Salvation Army work in
which she has long been interested
in Denmark, the countess Travelled
by Storage to see for herself
She told her story at the Ritz
where she Is trying, in palatial
surroundings, to forget some of
the scenes of those pathetic i'm
migrants bound for America to
find the end of the rainbow.

above the berth. they were ter
rible," the countess said, putting
her carefully manicured hand to

the stuffy heat of the Storage.
Nowhere could one open a win
dow Floors hard as stone-like
the streets those poor people were
soon to be tramping. No air, a
temperature like an oven in your
berth and a floor like ice, that is
the steerage.
Narrow iron stairways that re-
minded one of prison, with loose,
wrought-iron balustrades-if that Is
the proper word. t.-

smelly blankets.
Then the hardest thing Of all
the ignominious label of the steer
age. That is the hardest thing
they must bear. Many of those
people had positions of dignity and
even rank until the war left them
penniless. The humiliations of
steerage travel are constant
mockery for such people"

Isolation, refusing support IL France
insists upon using force to extract
payment from Germany.
Personally, think IT is possible
that the advocates OF force are
right 1t may be that human ma
ture is incapable Of reasonable
argument, or at least not ready for
any other way of governing than
that of force. ireland doesn't inspire
one with much confidence In the
effect OF peace offers. Germany Is
by no means to be credited with
having abandoned ideas of war OF
revenge whenever she is strong
enough to come back on France. But
IL force is to be adopted as the only
way of logic, then there is no avoid
ance OF another war on a big scale
more terrible than the last We
may make up our minds to that,
get ready for It.
France Believes In Force.
France believes only in force. All
else seems to her sentiment. falsity.
Illusion. She is convinced Germany
will attack her again, whatever
full. however generous. France,
therefore. is determined to strangle
Germany. for as long as her own
power lasts. Desperately in need
of German money. which Germany
pledged herself to pay and now
says she cannot pay. France pro-
poses to seize German industrial
areas and control German finance.
keep her bled white and powerless.
That is logical as I said last week:
its only fault in logic is that IL mere
ly postpones the time OF German re-
venGe. while It makes II inevitable
by intensIfcation OF hate. Germany
in that case will use Russia as her
arsenal and in fifteen years from now
perhaps will fall on France with
tigerish ferocity. Great Britain may
stand again by France. Victory again
may be ours. But such another Vic
tory as the last would be our death
We simply cannot afford II. II is
vitality important. therefore. that
some other policy should be devised
and agreed to between France and
Britain.
One Good Effect.
One good effect of Genoa was the
shock the sentiment among both peo-
pies when certain words OF Lloyd
George. twisted and exaggerated in
newspaper reports, threatened to open
a breach between our two nations.
That would be the last and most
tragic outcome of the war. for IL
would make but A grisly farce of
our common sacrifice. and would be a
blasphemous mockery to the dead
youth who fought together in the
fields of France. II must not. can
NOT happen. 1 for one, and millions

abandon all hope OF human progress
IL France and Britain were TO
abandon friendship and acknowledge
emnity.
There is only one way. as II seems
to me, out Of this horrible dilemma
1t is for France and Great Britain
to make n new alliance on new and
definite terms. Britain must agree to
wipe out all debts owed her by France
on condition that France cancels by
so much Germany's Indebtedness to
her. And France must agree to
