danelles, the Sea Of Marmora, the
BOsporus, and the Black Sea. The
British not only have the ships, but
they have the submarines and air
forces that are absolutely necessary
for the protection of their battle
fleet.
British Command Air.
They command the air and the
subsurface, as well as the surface
of the sea. With these forces they
can divide Turkey in Asia from
Turkey in Europe. They can hold
Constantinople, and bar Turkish
armies from Thrace. In the mean
time, If Greece and the Balkan
states, or most of them, can be
held together in a stand against
the Turk, the British can keep a
strangle hold on Kemal Pasha.
The Balkan states must choose
between England and Greece on
the other.
Which win it be?
If they bar the Russians, the
British and Greeks can bar the
Turks from Europe and restrict
them to Asia Minor.
Problem Allies Are Facing.
Now briefly consider what the
situation would be II Russia and
Turkey combined had plenty .oi
submarines, and sufficiently strong
air forces to command the air
over the Dardanelles! They would
drive the British fleet into the
Mediterranean. 1t could not stay
in the Dardanelles-not single
day or night. A hundred dread
naughts would be helpless with
Russians and Turks raining 1000.
Id. bombs upon them.
There is a warning for the
United States, and for Europe as
well, in this statement OF the dom.
mating awfulness of submarines and
air planes.
Command Of the air is vital on
land and sea. Add to this the com.
nand Of the sub-surface of the sea-
the force that alone nearly starved
England and won the world war for
Germany-and we see, as clear as
a cameo, a picture of the weapons
that will decide the next war.
German Skill a Menace.
IL Germany, with all her practical
experience and scientific skill. goes
the support of Russia and Turkey to
supply them with the weapons of the
future, the late allies viii find them
selves, helpless IL they cling to the
weapons of the past.
England, France and Italy may
be forced into another alliance for
mutual protection against sinister
alignment Of powers that will not
hesitate to use submarines, bombs
and poison gas to the limit of fiend-
ish efficiency.
The command of the air will de-
eide the fate Of civilization in the
next war.

PAYING FOR GERMANS

Some writer expressing himself on
the League of Nations and the ques-
ton of how many ways have been
planned for making America pay the
German war debts, writes as follows:
In q recent address before the
Vassar Club in New York, Henry
Morganthau, q Wilson Democrat and
q League of Nations partisan, made
the statement, according to the
newspaper reports, that 'if the
United States had entered the
League OF Nations, France would not
be in the Ruhr today"
All European nations, with the
exception of Germany, are in the
Eeague of Nations. Therefore, Mr..
Morgenthau's statement, il 1t means
anything, means that the United
would have been able to accomplish
what none of the nations or all of
them together In the league were
not able to accomplish. This checks
1t up to the United States. To say
that had it been in the League OF
Nations France would not now be In
the Ruhr Is to say that one of the
following three things would have
been done by the United States. II
1. 1t would have guaranteed
France the payment of the indemn-
ity she seeks from Germany. That
Is, the United States would have
paid the indemnity itself by under
writing the German promise to pay.
This would have necessitated raising
money in this country by the issu-
ance of bonds for which the Ameri-
can people would have been taxed
and these bonds or the money there
from, turned over to France in lieu
of the money she was unable to col
lect from Germany.
2. France would have been guar
anteed security from future attacks
from Germany by military alliance
with the United States. This is what
President Wilson attempted to have
done, going SO far as to bring a
treaty to that effect to this country
and asking that it be ratified by the
United States Senate.
8. France would have been told
by the United States that she had col
lected enough; that Germany had
paid all that she could pay and ought
to pay, and had France attempted to
enter the Ruhr she would have been
opposed by the military forces of the
United States.
These are the only three eventual
tiles that could have kept France
out of the Ruhr. Which one of these
three solutions, if any, would the

THE IDAHO REPUBLICAN,

people of the United States stand
for? The answer is abvious. They
would have stood for none Of them.
], Mr.. Morganthau's assertion is q
sample of the silly talk that is going
ON continually. 1t is q sample of the
vicious propaganda that is being cir
culated thru the press and from the
pulpit and platform; some of 1t
shrewdly by those who have full
knowledge Of its deception and mis-
chievous effect; some OF 1t stupidity
by those who, parrot-like, repeat
what some one else tells them with
out knowing what it means or what
effect it will have.
Out of the flood of propaganda
urging the United States to do
something to help Europe" what
concrete suggestion or plan has been
offered other than one which neces-
sarily involves the employment OF
our military and naval strength, the
cancellation of billions Of dollars due
this government and the loaning of
billions more? Not anything. Yet
either one or all three Of these would
mean the taxpayers of the United
States shouldering the financial bur-
dens of Europe and maintaining at
their expense sufficient military and
naval forces to enforce the advice Of
fered to Europe by this country.
Talk about Europe needing our
moral support is plain buncombe.
Europe may need it, but Europe does
not want it. The plain truth is that
repeatedly within the last two years
Europe has insultingly rejected our
moral support. 1t has refused to
give heed to our advice as to what
should be done to correct the deplor-
able situation in which European |
countries find themselves. What |
each European nation wants of this
country is that we exercise our power |
to take the part Of that nation in the
ENVIRONMENTS that are 60
ing on in the European continent.
There can be no doubt Of this. There
is no attempt upon the part of any
European country to conceal the
fact.
