RESTORATION OF EUROPE.

1t is strange how the legend fingers
that the United States during the war
was growing rich through the troubles
Of Europe. The truth is that. however
strong acquisitiveness Of Americans
may have been. the thing was impos-
sible, because Europe had no wealth
to bestow. AS millions Of its able
bodied men were Withdrawn from pro-
ductive industry. and as the fruits OF
industry were being destroyed by war,
Europe was forced TO draw from other
parts of the world such real wealth
as food and steel.
Being able to give little else but
paper in return, II, OF course. ran into
debt heavily and made the United
States a creditor nation. But II the
latter country hopes TO have the debt
paid IL must accept in it's turn real
wealth-that Is. the products OF thf
factories OF Europe restored to pros
perity.
No doubt some great fortunes were
made in the United States during the
war, but all these must have com,

that the defeat OF the Versailles Treaty

that failure to ratify the new treaties
will deeply injure the prestige of this

Racial Identity.

An E,nelIshman or an American
these days may be Mediterranean
or a Nordic. He may be Of an old in
digenous family or he may be an inn
migrant Of few years ago. The
streets of all Of the principal cities Of
the great western nations are streets
Of Babel. In them swarm vast, mot
ley crowds of men who have nothing
In common except their hunger for
land and money. Melting pots where
the ingredients do not fuse are these
great cities, so that an American or an
Englishman may be anything. But
when you say a Chinese or an East
| Indian, you know exactly what you
mean. The word summons a picture
of a distinctive kind of man. These
peoples are united in aspiration and
/ purpose because they are uniform in
blood and tradition.
/ That Is one great advantage they
have over the nations which now
dominate the earth. When you say
Great Britain, you mean a govern
ment, and governments have always
been transient and troubled things
But when you say China or India you
mean a people, solid and Homogeneous
and that is a thing as real and perm
anent as continent or an ocean.
The rea sons why these peoples per-
sist. retain their racial identity and
multiply while the occidental nations
lose their identity and die out at the
top, seem TO be chiefly two. In ths
first place. they do not go in for wal
and in the second place thay have n,
talent for industry.

Grave French Question

Paris, June 7.-(By The Associated
Press. THE allied separations com
mission, by a 3 to 1 vote overriding
Frances negative ballot, gave the
bankers committee Wednesday full au-
thority to propose an international loan
for Germany on any basis the commit
tee thinks desirable. The bankers,
however. indicated their disposition not
to take any action that would be in OPP
position to the French governments
wishes.
The bankers decided not to reach a
conclusion Wednesday but to reflect
upon the situation, discuss among
themselves and meet Thursday for a
more formal exchange of views and to
determine whether they could 60
ahead with the loan.
Louis Dubois, French member of
the reparations commission, conferred
with President Millerand Wednesday,
after a short talk with Premier Poin-
care before the session of the COM
mission. This was regarded in official
circles as significant OF the gravity OF
point.
Premier Poincare told the senate
foreign affairs commission Wednesday
afternoon that he hoped the negotia-
tons would continue for an interna-
tional loan to Germany, although he
hardly expected any early tangible re-
suits.
In the meantime. he said, French
industry, while awaiting German pay
ments in cash which could become i'm
pertant only through the aid of a loan.
must adjust itself to payments in
goods.
Repeating previous declarations in
the chamber of deputies as to Frances
determination to act alone if necessary
in case of Germany's default in repara-
tions, the premier said that, regard
less of whether the need for imposing
penalties upon Germany arose, France
had studied and prepared all plans for
various sorts of penalties and was
ready for the day when the reparations
commission might declare Germany in
default.
