subject of the Ruhr invasion and the
necessity of canceling that policy as
a chief condition of ever restoring peace
or obtaining reparations. There is much
criticism of the fact that the report,
while proposing economic withdrawal
seems to contemplate continuance of
military occupation of the Ruhr. The
experts doubtless considered the subject
outside Of their purview, but it is Ger
tain that no enduring settlement is con-
ceivable without removal OF the French
army from the Ruhr.
By the sudden and unexpected ac-
ceptance of the report by all the al
lies Prime Minister Macdonald es-
capes for the moment the test to
which his craftsmanship would have
been put if France had hesitated. He
may yet become a leading figure in

BY Radio to The Star.
PARIS, April 12.-Damned with faint
praise-or praised with faint damns-
that is the fate of the experts report
at the hands of European opinion.
This may be because. despite many
disappointments. the peoples Of Europe
had still preserved faith that a miracle
might happen. But it hasn't.
Even the experts themselves do not
claim that their scheme will solve the
reparations problem. Their own view,
as summed up to the writer today, may
be stated thus:
IF Germany agrees to the report be-
fore May 4, then this scheme will have
a fair trial If there is delay, or an at
tempt at modification, it will be equiva-
lent to rejection.
But if everything goes well and
quickly, then we shall discover with
in the next few years whether the
reparations problem is capable of So
luton at all, for if this plan will not
solve it, then nothing will"
Delay VIII BE Fatal.
If Germany's acceptance is delayed
beyond May 4. the date or the parila-
mentary elections. it will become the
subject of "A referendum" like the
league of nations election in America
in 1920. with various parties Strad-
ding the issue in different ways, and
no clear result possible.
On the other hand, if the scheme
is promptly put into effect, it will
undoubtedly produce a large repara-
tions surplus credited to the allies ir
the German gold bank. But in order
to get this surplus transferred
across the borders of Germany into
the allied treasures there will either
be terrific strain on German ex-
change with a chance of running Ger
many'S monetary system, or else Ger
man exports will have to grow to the
point of making Germany the strong

He is only kept in office by the fact
that neither of the other parties
wants TO succeed to such an uncom-.
fortabie Inheritance. He suffered 81
serious defeat this week in the pro
posA that the unemployed should
live rent free while unemployed.
Moreover, the internal condition OF
the government is very Shaky.
There is much rivalry between trade
union and socialist elements and the
relations between Mt. Macdonald and
Phllip Snowden, chancellor of the ex-
chequer, are known to be strained.
John Maynard Clynes has failed con
splcuously as leader oc the house and

dicates she now is willing to do.
Feeling in this country is hopeful
for a final settlement, but not con-
fident. Much depends on the immi-
nent elections in France and Ger
many. The writer's information from
Germany points strongly to a move
ment to the right A wave of nation
alism is sweeping over the country
and will be reflected in the elections.
This is the inevitable reaction against
the Ruhr policy, which, so far from
Cisrupting Germany, is tending to
consolidate it on a nationaiistic basis.
Thus the roaring nationalist lion of
one country is answered by the roar
ing nationalist lion of another.
This changing spirit in Germany is
natural enough, in the circumstances,
and may have reactions on the French
elections, which now are expected to
go decisively in favor of Poincare, who
will return with free hand.

During the past several weeks the
publicity committee, under the direc-

been busily engaged preparing a cam
paign of education on the need of fill
ling the chest and its uses. Much
literature is being distributed, ad-

newspapers, outdoor advertising, such
as billboards, posters in store windows
and on delivery trucks, pamphlets
and cards, publicity through the
churches and schools and other fea-
lures.
