France had a definite plan. Under
the water with the airplane, on land
with poison gas and black troops
France was supreme. To rule the
continent she needed two other fac
get them. First she took the Saar
valley, then she put her finger into
Upper Silesia and saw that Poland
was favored in its division. Now it
is the Ruhr.
France talks of reparations. The
American people think that France
invaded the Ruhr to secure repara-
ton payments. That is all fog. She
invaded the Ruhr because she needs
coke, and because she intends to
break up Germany. She will keep
the Ruhr as a separate political state,
economically a part of France.
THE Ruhr is only about 120 miles
square. but it is the vertebrae of
central Europe. 1t is the foundation
of German industry. In it are more
industrial and chemical experts than
in all Europe. From it come not only
coke. but the chemical products which
were one of Germany's chief exports.
In Selling the Ruhr, France ruins
Germany.
France planned for all this in her
annexes to the treaty of Versailles.

I returned from San Sebastian to the
capitol before it became clear TO me
that the Spanish nation as a whole
decidedly welcomed the attempt which
the general had undertaken to re-
form the administration.
Grave political abuses had grown
up throughout Spain which had led
to the persecution of that part of the
population in each constituency which
was against the party in power. So
I at once gave my full confidence to

quence was that this difficult consti-
tutional crisis passed over without a
