THE MIRROR OF
PUBLIC OPINION

fercrs thereby has been compensated.
There must be literally thousa ands OF

Department II powrless 10 ofYer re-
dress 10 /our citizens.
The reason Is well known. Having
failed TO rntify the Versailles Treaty,
the United States Government has no
way OF bringing the matter up for net
tlcment with Germany. This WAS ex-
plicitly admitted In the Senate a few
days ago by Senator Lodge. He stat
ed that II would be necessary to nego-
tiste an added treaty with Germany
before all these claims could be ndju-
dicated. That being so, no time should
be lost in doing 1T. The country
doesn't want tho American claims of
1914 to go unliquidnted for nearly n
century, as was the case with the
famous French cIaims.-New York
