Criticism of u. S. By
German Writer

Cologne. Oct. ga. p. By MaiO-
German morals are just as good as
American morals. but the Americans
are more successful in concealing
their lapses, according to DIR. Paul
itolrbach, who recently completed q
tour of America and is contributing
q. series of articles to the Cologne
Gazette ON his impressions of the
new world. DIR. Rohrbach saws the
impression which is general in Ger
many that moral standards are high
er in the United States than in Ger
many is quite erroneous, as the
American morality is only on the sur
race. and that when one digs down
he finds things as black as In Europe.
Dr Rohrbach says american cities
do not permit any large sections to
be given over entirely to the social
evil and to dubious amusements of
various sorts, such as are common
now in all European capitals, and es-
pecially in Berlin. in consequence of
widespread distress and general de.
cline In public morals.
Co-education does not seem to
have been as successful in America
as had been hoped for, according to
DIR. Rohrbach, who says American
educators told him the automobile is
machine designed to destroy NOR
ais.
DIR. Rohrbach was startled by read
ing typical American novels in which
the state of morals among the Amer
lean middle class Is unveiled, such as
Main Street" Rabbit" and Upton
Sinclairs Book of Life" But he does
not believe these books give a fair
picture of the life OF the average
American.
The high coloring of American
women and the frankness with which
they produce their vanity box in pub
lie and renew their complexion
amused DIR. Rohrbach. but he found
that women were not so much paint
ed in circles where music and the
higher things of life are given more
consideration. He found that women
lead in public affairs, as well as in
family affairs, but heard a number of
American men complain about the
amount of attention paid to women.
DR.. Rohrbach thinks American
women have too strong an influence
in politics and says they are "apt to
succumb to propaganda more readily
than men," This is the reason, in his
opinion, why French propaganda has
SO much success with the American
public. However, DIR Rohrbach found
many sympathic elements in Amer
lean character, especially in that of
the women, and he thinks the aver
age American is good-hearted and
sympathetic with the poor and UNI
fortunate.
