DOPE Plus x1 has added himself
A to the number of those who seek
Ito persuade France to let up on Ger
many, taking the stand that Justice,
world peace and the interest Of the
creditors can best be served by policy
that will not exhaust the resources
and impair the productiveness Of the
debtor nation.
Premier Poincare has been asserting
that his policy was supported by the
Vatican, but the pontiff, through the
medium Of a letter to Cardinal Gas
parri, now refutes this claim and takes
the same stand as that of the British
government and Premier Mussolini Of
Italy-thOugh the latter has been less
insistent than Downing street.
In his letter the pope suggests that
the amount of German reparations be
determined by impartial judges fur
nished with adequate data and with
means to control the reparations sums.
He continues:
likewise, if it is just that creditors
should have guarantees proportional in
Importance to their credits and such
as will assure collections from which
vital interests depend, we leave it to
such creditors to consider whether it
is necessary to maintain at all costs
territorial occupation implying heavy
sacrifices for both the occupied and
occupying countries, or whether it is
rather preferable to resort, even
though more gradually, to more proper
and less Odious guarantees.
"Once both parties accepted such
peaceful terms and ended their bitter
ness and territorial occupations, it
would be possible to reach that sincere
pacif1cation and peace which is indis-
pensable for economic reconstruction
and Is ardently desired by all.
"This pacification and reconstruction
is such a great blessing for all nations
as to justify any grave sacrifice"
Premier Theunis Of Belgium, whose
cabinet resigned on a local issue, has
not been able to form new ministry
and the Franco-Belgian solidarity on
questions concerning Germany is grow
ing weaker daily. In effect, Poincare
Is being isolated and his position is
becoming more and more difficult The
French budget Is demoralized because
In 1t immense sums are listed as recov-
cradle from Germany, and the franc is
falling in value.
Maybe the economic experts who
condemn the course of the French in
the Ruhr have the best of the argu-
ment, but 1t seems to some of us that
when they assert that the industrial
decentralization of Germany means the
ruin Of Europe, if not of the entire
world, they are overlooking what the
economic ruin of France means. The
French simply must obtain from Ger
many the greater part Of what they
claim, and this greater part Germany
has shown no intention Of paying ur-
der any conditions

The British and Greeks there are turn

the Turks pay their bonds on a gold
franc basis, which is three times more
valuable than the paper franc. The
English call this unreasonable, but
the French reply that the pound ster-
ling Is nearly normal, so the English
bondholders will be paid almost on a
gold basis. France is now willing to
leave this matter out Of the peace
treaty with Turkey and to settle it
later by negotiations. The Turks are
insistent that the bonds be paid at the

DRESIDENT HARDING has repeat
4 edly disclaimed that his speeches
on his trip through the West and to
Alaska are designed as campaign mate
rial, but it is probable that the gist of
most Of them will be found in the next
Republican national platform: After
his address on American membership
In the world court, in which he sug-
gested divorcing the court from the
League of Nations by making it prac-
tically self-perpetuating, he told the
farmers of Kansas what the national
government has done to rescue Amer
lean agriculture from the depression
that came with deflation in 1920. Incl
dentally he shocked some wheat and
operated a binder. In Kansas City he
insisted on compulsory consolidation
of the railway systems as a solution
Of transportation problems. Sundays
address at Colorado Springs was in the
nature of sermon, urging the Golden
Rule as panacea for the ills Of the
world. In Denver and Wyoming the
President made two most important
pronOuncements. First he declared alb
solutely for enforcement of the Vol
stead act by each and every state as
we'll as by the federal government. He
denounced the action of the 'new null
lificationistS" who have repealed or
tried to repeal the prohibition enforce
ment acts of various states, referring
especially to New York and Governor
Smith. Of this he said:
Instead of being an assertion of
state rights, it is an abandonment of
them; it is an abdication; it amounts
to confession by the state that it
doesn't choose to govern itself, but
prefers to turn the task or a consider
able part Of it, over to the federal
authority. There could be no more
complete negation Of state rights"
And this was his warning to the
"nullificationists" "If the burden of
enforcement shall continue to be in
creasingly thrown upon the federal
government, 1t will be necessary, at
large expense, to create a federal po-
lice authority which in time will in
evitably come to be regarded as an
intrusion upon and interference with
the right of local authority to manage
local concerns. The possibilities of
disaster in such a situation hardly
need to be suggested" He said fur
ther that they will discover that they
have perpetrated what is likely to
prove one of the historic blunders in
political management"
From the car platform at Cheyenne
the President declared himself opposed
to NATURALIZATION" of the coal min
ing industry; stated that certain mine
owners were as responsible for par
alyzing the industry last year as were
the men who went on strike. said that
the operators had been unable to pro-
duce fuel even when furnished protec-
tion, and announced that there would
never be any coal mined in free Amer
lea under force of arms" He alluded
to the already existing anxiety con-
corning next winters supply Of coal

in doing so, almost completely cut

now hold wide strips of territory
on both sides of the British.
Montabauer, in territory that was
once allotted to America for Oc-
cupation but never taken, was
seized by the French today.
