A Curzon Lecture

Mr.. Baldwin's Government has
been unlucky in its diplomatic
negotiations concerning t h e
question of German reparations.
Its plans have pretty steadily
miscarried, it has aroused hopes
which were in the event frus-
trated, and it's publicity" has
been badly managed. The most
glaring Illustration of the latter
was the giving out of Lord Cur
zon's note on the very day of the
upset in Germany. This was un-
fortunate staging. What was
meant t. be the biggest sensa-
ton of the day had to take sec
ond place. Indeed, so unhappily
was the publication of the note
of the British Foreign Office
timed that it is doubtful if it will
receive the consideration which
it deserves. People will ask,
why read the labored argument
and the long survey made by
Lord Curzon, when what happens
in Berlin tomorrow or next day
may put a new aspect upon the
whole AFFAIR."
Awkward in the opportunity
of its being made public, the
British note was even more awk-
ward in its manner. 1t was con-
ceived in Lord Curzon's worst
style. This does not mean that
it was not skillful in logic and
impressive in its statement of
fact. 1t was both these things,
and, unless circumstances soon
put an entirely different color
upon the whole matter, the Cur
zon note will demand the most
serious attention from the French
Government. But the British
Foreign Secretary must have
forgotten, if he had ever taken
it to heart, the saying of one of
his predecessors in Office, Lord
Palmerston, that in diplomacy it
is the tone which makes the
song. Lord Curzon's tone is
about as maladroit as it could be.
Throughout he writes with that
air of hurt personal dignity
which no one can assume so of
fensively as he, and with a mag
isterial gesture as of one setting
ignorant people right. With de-
licious unconsoiousness he ex-
pressed the hope, after acknow-
Lodging the courteous tone of the
notes of the French and Belgian
Governments, that his own re-
marks to them would be received
in the friendly spirit in which
they are offered" The French
might well pray to be saved from
q friend not only candid but
brutal.
A study of the British note in
detail can best be made in the
light of the occurrences of the
next few days. That it would
rave a bad reception in France
must have been foreseen. 1t is
certain that the British would
lave resented a similar document

addressed to them by M. Poin-
care. No people like being lee
tured across their borders after
the condescending Curzon fash
ion. Even if his manner were
to be discounted. as only pretty
Fanny's way, the substance of his
note was itself severe. He attack
ed the reasoning of the French
and at the same time challen-
ged their motives. Not even did
he shrink from going so far as to
imply that the French intention,
despite repeated official denials,
was to remain in the Ruhr indef-
lnitely, IF not in pcrpetuity."
Then he gravely proceeded to
point out that, if the occupation
of the Ruhr continued as long as
thirty six years, it would create
a situation which England would
be compelled to view with the
greatest concern" and then it
might be case of appealing to
Article XI, of the Covenant of
the League of Nations. Such a
recourse threatened at the end
of thirty-six years! Surely by
that time Great Britain will have
another Curzon to deal fittingly
with the emergency.
As Immediately affecting the
relations of England and France,
the British note specifies two
things. One is that the British
Government will decline to dis
cuss further with France the
question of her national security
The other is that, given the
French attitude toward German
reparations, Great Britain is pre-
pared to notify the French
Government that the debt to
England incurred by France
during the war must be laid in
full. There are, in addition. as
affecting the general internation-
al situation, certain indications
of policy which are left veiled
almost in the form of vague
threats. The Curzon note does
not say that Great Britain will
undertake separate action with
regard to Germany, but leaves
it to be inferred that she may.
Lord Curzon reaffirms his deter
mination to insist upon compell-
ing Germany to pay up to the
limit of her capacity, but dis
sociates himself from the efforts
of France both to fix the amount
due and to secure its payment.
He objects to the French stipu.
lation that Germany must first
of all abandon passive resistance
in the Ruhr, not perceiving that
there may be way of arriving
at a practicable compromise in
that matter.
Apparently. in this particular,
tie French have shown more
foresight than the British Gov
ernment. Fully two weeks ago,
the French counted positively
upon the formation of a new
German Government, and the
Temps declared that the next
German Chancellor could easily
escape the diplomatic difficulties
of dealing with passive resistance
in the Ruhr if he would merely
that he left it to all
the officials and in general to all
the inhabitants of the occupied
territory to regulate, according
to their. own judgment. their
conduct toward the French au-
thorities. This, it was added,
,ould be Immediately followed

ion Commission to take evidence

FRATEnIVAL ORDERS
 HEAR CAPT. DANCEY
 AT l. ]. l. r. HALL

There was a splendid representa- tlon of the fraternal organizations of Seward at Odd Fellows Hall last eve hing to meet Capt. Dancey, American ization Officer of the American Le- zion. It was an eleventh hour call. and the Legion Committee was more than gratified with the response.
 Cal. M. Brosius presided and called on A. E. Fucker, adJutant of the Sew ard Post, to introduce the speaker. The plans for an Americanization pro- gram were fully explained and the CO., operation of the various fraternal or ders was asked in making the differ ent numbers Ci the program a success, with special emphasis on the presen- tation of "The Man Without Crun- try at the Liberty Theatre this even ing, and the public mass meeting of Sunday afternoon.
 Captain Dancey spoke for forty min utes, carrying his audience through varying stages of the world war and its aftermath and, out of his expert ences overseas, as we'll in world trav- el, drawing object lessons thar should be helpful to every American.
 There were many lessons taught by the war, he asserted. One thought inn pressed upon the world was that there is no one nation that can conquer civilization. Never before in history has nation been better equipped or better prepared, than was the Ger man nation, when it hurled upon an world, the greatest dis aster in the history of the ages, Yet they could not succeed and, never once, from the fourth day of August 1914, up to the eleventh day of Nov 1918, did the Germans succeed Tn reaching one of their objectives."
 Another great lesson taught was the need of organization, T 20 into town after town I find Rotary Club, Kiwanis Club, Commercial Club, several church and school clubs fraternal organizations, and women's clubs, with host of others, and vet when 1t comes to the matter of find Ing an organization that is ready and Willing, without quibbling or passinp the puck, to undertake something of community or patriotic order t al- most IS Impossible to find such an or sanlzatlon. Some say that we are or 5anlzed to death. Perhaps we are oelleVe that there is great need in every community, of an organization nat IS ready and willing to undertake ,hese things of worth while order"
 Captain Dancey spoke of the invisi- De frontier between Canada and the Jnlted States, and characterized it as ne greatest object lesson the world lad yet seen. It was in direct con- rast to other frontiers, where fixed 'ayonets and guns were the line of lemarcation.
 interest ln the Sunday afternoon sally Is growing rapidly and it begins Q LOOK that Seward will do, what ey- ny town and city is doing today ack to auditorium in the interests of ne greatest of problems before tba eople today the problems of Ameri- anlzatlon. It will be an old fashion q community get together and thr, ne question period the audience will ' aole to discuss, with the speaker alngs of national and internationa1 luer' The presentation of "The Man Vithout a Country" at The Liberty nls evening will serve as a fitting reIude to the public rally.
