Mourns . France Alone.
France in 1914 was surrounded by
allies who had recognized her good
faith and her definitely pacific bent.
In 1922 she is alone. confronted by
a threatening Germany--alone with
her ruins. with her fifteen hundred
thousand dead. her eight hundred thou
sand mutilated. her three million wound
ed, laid waste because the war was
fought on her territority. because she
was for months Of tragic uncertainty the
rampant of the world. a rampant which
If demolished would have left the whole
world at the mercy Of Germany. The
war was fought on our territory be-
cause France happened to stand be-
tween the world and Germany. The
world seems to forget that very
easily.
France is isolated. With her
finances in disorder. with her indus
try but slowly recovering from the
turmoil, with a merchant marine dis
organized by the war, she faces a
and does not pay. because she was
permitted to escape even commence
ment to pay when she was well in the
position to do so. France is isolated
for having since 1920 annoyingly
counted on the automatic execution
of a treaty at the foot Of which Ger
many. the President of the United
States. and England had signed and
without tho strict application OF
which there is no hope for France
Of restoration. The will of the peo-
pie won the war. The will of all
was no less necessary for the estab-
lishment Of peace. Instead there was
substituted chatter, with it's inevita-
BILE procession Of quarrels without
issue.
France Refuses to Die.
France in 1914 had grouped around
her almost unanimously the other ma
tions. because she was recognized as
sincerely desirous of peace. Today
she Is accused Of wishing to continue
the war In peace time. She is ac-
cused of wishing to introduce the
argument Of the sword into interna-
tional conversations and to be de-
pendent upon those same methods of
force and intimidation which had
gone to compose the Bismarckian
peace. That. because confronted by
a Germany that refuses to disarm,
which will not execute the treaty of
Versailles or repair the damage done
or rebuild the ruins made by her, be-
fore Rally which today refuses
France the military guarantees which
she offered yesterday, France does
not wish to die. Come what may,
German brutality and bad faith, in
justice from her allies France will
proudly bear her burden. France de-
sfres to live. France will survive!
France never desired the war. She
