WHAT WAS GERMANY UP TO

Frank Simonds in the Review of Reviews analysing the
German peace offer. says the proffer was foredoomed to failure
because it envisaged a German victory. Simonds is convinced
that the proffer was intended to fail by those who made it. "You
must see" says Simonds, what the German is up to, what he
has been up to ever since the peace treaty was made. He is
seeking to escape paying the price of his devastations. He is
aiming to leave this burden on French, Belgian and Italian
shoulders" He says it was not stupidity, clumsiness, much less
madness, but a scheme to leave France to pay all the costs of her
reconstruction.
The security she offered was German railways and other
German property, but if Germany chose to default, by what means
other than another war could collections be made?
Simonds points out that the Germans did not promise to pay
save as the world lent them money and they would only pay
after a four-year moratorium. If they did pay, the sole burden
on their shoulders would be $1,000 600. BY initiation they
had got rid of their domestic debt incident to the war. To all
intent and purpose it was wiped out. Assume that it might be
lquidated at a billion and that Germany had already paid two
billions in cash on reparations, she had taken in not less than
S3,OOOO00,000 by Fleeing the world in mark manipulation.
Her whole debt burden, then, would be 7,O0O,OOOOOO but
that of Great Britain is $35, 900, 100000. Moreover, allowing for
discounts incident in delay in the payments of what Germany
offered, the sum of what she would pay, provided she honored
her notes, would not be very much more in present value than
what the British have undertaken to pay us on account of their
war borrowings. Germany, the aggressor, would have to pay all
her victims only a billion, or at the most a billion and a half, more
than Great Britain has paid the United States already.
While the majority of Americans are with France in the
occupation of the Ruhr valley, still we find too many who are now
anxious to forget there ever was a war and hail the Germans
as the finest people on earth. Too many of us forget too soon.
We forget the millions of lives, the untold sufferings and the
present hard times were brought about by the ambitions of one
peope-the Germans. They are to blame for all the suffering
of the war, and now they are trying to get out of paying for it.
They have tried, constantly and consistently, ever since the armis-
tce, to evade paying their just debts. They quit cold just as
soon as they saw they were beaten in the fighting and ever since
they have been whining and benyaching over the PREPARATIONS
settlement. In its way this attitude on the part of Germany is
even more disgusting than their frightfulness during the war
itself.
The maudlin sympathy and sordid support of Germany by
the weakly sentimental and greedy of profit is what Germany
banks on to help her turn defeat into victory. /.

DIR. SPEAKS
OF JAPANESE AFFAIRS.

The feature of the weekly Rotary
club luncheon on Tuesday was the
most interesting talk of DR.. David
b. Schnader, of Japan, on japanese
conditions and customs.
DIR. Schnader, who is in Bozeman
visiting his two daughters, one of
whom is an instructor at the college,
and the other a student at the local
institution, has been in Japan since
1887, and is now the president of the
mission college for training Japanese
Christian evangelists.
The purport behind DR.. Schnader's
talk was to prove to his audience that
Japan and the United States are con-
stantly growing closer 20 each other
In every way. He said that when he
first went to the islands he had mail
from this country about once in three
weeks Now they get u. S. mail al
most every day. In just such a man.
ner has the viewpoint of the Japanese
come closer approaching that of our
own people, according to DR.. Selma
der. He spoke interestingly on Jap
anese life and customs. of the m
creasing numbers that seek higher ed
ucation. There were some 800 stu
dents in his school last year and the
enrolment is always full.
DR.. Schnader said that he had got
ten the idea that Bozeman was a
frontier town and he was both SUI
prised and pleased with his surround
ings when he arrived here. He
praised the city very highly and also
the Rotary club, stating that it was
his first opportunity. to attend a ko-
tary luncheon and that he wished to
find out all that he could of the or
ganIzation, to take back to japan
with him.
In the regular business of the club,
Z. w. Sweet reported for the boys
work committee, stating that his COM
mittee had held a meeting with Burr
Clark, of the forest service, and that
the service had offered a site for a
permanent Boy Scouts camp up the
West Gallatin, just this side of
Karsts. The committee intends to
inspect this site and report at the
next meeting. 1t was estimated by
his committee, Mr.. Sweet said, that il
will require some $3.50 to finance the
work of the Scouts this summer, and
the club went on record to raise this
sum by every member raising SIS.
The Rotary club was invited to at.
tend the luncheon Of the college stu.
dents next Wednesday afternoon, fol-
lowing the commencement ceremonies
at the college.
Dean Norris, of the engineering
college invited the club to be present
at the new engineering building next
Tuesday. The building will be ded.
icated to the memory of ". Milno1
Roberts, the chief engineer of the
Northern Pacific at the time the frs
survey for that road was made il
Montana. Dean Norris spoke of Mr.
Roberts as an engineer with an inter
national reputation and one who haC
done much for the state. Presiden.

director of the corporation, declared
that Clarence Saunders told him that
If the corporation '1et him out" as
president he would wreck 1t. The
witness stated further that other
directors of the corporation asked
him if he thought Saunders would
carry out the threat.
Much of yesterdays session was
taken up with the argument of coun-
sci over the admissibility of testi-
mony relating to an alleged order of
Saunders directing the closing of all
Piggly Wiggly stores in the United
States, following his resignation as
head of the concern. Witnesses for
the corporation testified that such an
order was issued, but later revoked.
Counsel for Saunders moved to
strike this testimony from the record

did not affect the issues in the re-
ceivership proceedings. Cross-exami

on this point also was waived.
