European
Situation
Is Critical
Avoidance of Deadlock Be
tween France and Britain
Over Reparations Key
to Settlement.
Peace Lies in Answer
BY Mark Sullivan.

London, June 20.-It is quite true,
as is constantly said in the most
authoritative circles. that the coming
few days will be most critical for the
future of Europe. Yet it is equally
true that the precise conditions of
the situation as it exists today make
1t most pregnant with possibilities of
the beginning of a cure.
To put 1t in other words If, as be
tween the British and the French,
there is blowup or a definitely
admitted deadlock during the re-
n Binder of the week, then it can be
taken as a fixed condition for the fu-
ture that the whole European situa-
ton will enter a new and most dan.
gerous phase. At the same time. If
this outcome is avoided. if there is
agreement on the step now under
consideration. then progress towards
a cure should be certain, though at
best necessarily slow.
The balance should turn one way
or the other very soon At the
moment the French reply to the
British QUESTIONABLE is being scru
tinized by the Belgian government
to whom: the French submitted it as
matter of courtesy. There should
be no delay in getting the Belgian
judgment.
To Lend Approval.
1t is true there is a ministerial
ci fr, ell 1e~fst Itt+ taf su n
question remote from foreign affairs
Anything at present that the Bel
gian ministry may do about foreign
relations will be approved by what
ever new government comes into
power.
For the reader to understand the
step that must now quickly eyentu
ate one way or the other. it is desir.
able to point out what is the pres.
ent situation in more exact and com
prehensive terms than have hitherto
been easy to communicate.
-Qn the issuance of the recent Ger.
ran note, the French government
first took the position that 1t would
not even talk about the contents oi
the German note with its own allies
unless the allies would promise as a
condition In advance 10 join tht
French in demanding that Germany
cease her passive resistance. This
was accompanied by the further con
dition precedent to an allied discus
sion of the German note that tht
allies should assent In advance tc
certain conditions laid down by
France about the division of repara
tions and about the mechanism to bt
adopted for their payment.
Aware of Blame.
In this situation thus presented
them, the British determined to dis
regard utterly any spirit Of brusque
ness that they may have seen in tbs
French attitude, 10 have the most
complete consideration for the feel
ings of the French and especially tc
bear in mind repentant concious
ness that the British government it

Says Summa Best Player Since Ty Cobb

The best looking outfielder to break

is the complimentary manner in which
Iris Speaker refers to young Homer
Summa, from Wichita Falls in the
Texas League, whd viii hold down
right field for the Indians this year.
When you consider that Mr.. Speak
er is some outfiblder himself, and that
he came into the American League
after Cobb, you get an even better
idea of what the Cleveland manager
thinks of the youngster.
"Summa looks mighty good TO me
in spring training. He is a left-handed
hitter, steps into the ball beautifully
and takes a healty cut. He is fast, has
a good arm and handles himself well
in the fild.
Speaker, who says he is in great
shape himself and looks il, believes
that his legs will stay with him and
that he will lose mighty few games

far and haven't felt the slightest pain
or weakness. However, often some
sudden start plays more havoc with a
bad knee than all the hard test you
put it 10. 49,
"If should have any trouble.
Summa can play center field in great
style and Frank Brewer will look
after right"
All of which proves the confidence
