EUROPE MANIFESTS
DESIRE FOR U. S. LOAN
Promptness of Accepting Dawes
Report Shows Eagerness for
Quick Aid.
By WILLIAM BIRD,

By Radio to The Star
PARIS, April 19.--All Europe is to-
day in complete agreement on one
point, namely, that it is desirable TO
get loan from America and get as
large a loan as possible as soon as
possible.
That accounts for the unexampled
speed with which action has fol-
lowed action this week on the Dawes
report
But there has never been any dis
agreement on that particular point.
and SO 1T is only fair to say that
what has been accomplished thus far
might equally well have been accom-
pliShed two or three years ago.
Europe has always unanimously
wanted Americas money, but Europe
has never been ready to agree on
the use to which the money should
be put.
This time America has laid down
her conditions with the recommends
tion to Europe: Take il or leave it"
There is little doubt that Europe
Will decide to take it.
But the Dawes report, which, at
first glance. seems TO cover in detail
every possible contingency. and to
constitute in itself a new charter of
European peace, is found, on closer
examination, to leave certain loop
holes for future international fric-
ton. To take only one example: :
What body is 10 decide whether Ger
many is fulfilling her obligations un-
der this new plan, and whether mill
tary or other sanctions are satisfied?

PARIS, April 19.-Both Germany

election campaign, and the manner in
which these campaigns are being con-
Quoted reveals the wide difference of
mentality between two neighboring
peopleS
Germany's campaign is based on ma
tionalisrn. The trial of Gen. Luden-
dorff and the accompanying demon
stration, together with the recent
partial election at Potsdam, affords
sufficient proof of this. Defeat has
only heightened Germany's pride.

disaster, instead of proving the folly
Of such ambition, has been followed

brute force and scorn of foreign
opinion that caused her fall.
Patriotism Ideas Differ.
For since Bismarck Germany's con-
ception of patriotism is not, as in
France, a simple desire of men to live
material interests which passed from
bankruptcy to wealth in 1871 and from
wealth to indulgence in 1918 and wants
to reconQuer its old opulence.
German patriotism, which was an
idealiStic conception 100 years ago, is
a materialistic conception today. 1t

markets and big dividends And also

1t appears that no such conclusion
can be reached without agreement
between Great Britain and France.
Therefore. if Great Britain and
France disagree on this point, 1t will
simply be the Ruhr affair over again.
This illustrates the fundamental
difference in viewpoint between Great
Britain and France on the whole
reparations question and particularly
this plan. Both nations hope the
plan will work and will try to make
it work. But IL it fails to work, Great
Britain will be content to say: TOO
bad, but it can't be helped. The only
thing TO do is to wipe reparations off
the slate" But France will say:
We'll, IL we can't get reparations, we
will at least occupy Germany's mines
and machine shops and prevent her
from becoming military menace"
Ruhr Co-Operution Possible.
On the optimistic side. however, is
the belief that Franco German eco
nomic cooperation will develop
rapidly when the existing friction in
the Ruhr is removed by withdrawal
of interallied economic control and
that in the long run. france will find
the fruits of this collaboration Just
as valuable as reparations payments
could possibly be.
Acceptance of the experts plan and
operation OF the scheme will at least
make Russia. instead of Germany, the
outstanding European problem. While

CHICAGO, September 23.-Another
spirited battle between the Nationals
and White Sox is likely this after
noon.
The American League leaders are
planning to send to the mound George
Mogridge, southpaw pitcher, and the
local club very likely will use Charlie
Robertson, a right-hander.
Mogridge has been a hard nut for
the White Sox to crack this season.
In four starts against them, he has
won three times. Robertson has not
been so fortunate against the Bucks.
But Mogridge's last appearance on
the slab was anything but impressive.
In st. Louis last Friday. he lost all
craft after hurting three hitless in
nings, and had to be taken out of the
game. On the other hand, Robertson,
has been doing we'll recently.
The White Sox gave the Nationals
a good battle yesterday, despite the
one-sidedness of the score, and may
be counted upon to scrap this after
noon. Base ball sharps who calculat-
ed the Harrismen would have an cas-
ier time in their Chicago series than
the Yankees in the tilts with the In
dians at Cleveland are quite likely to
be crossed.
The only favors shown the Nation
ais here come from the fans in the
stands. They all rooted for the
league leaders yesterday and talk
about town indicates they will be
with the Harrismen throughout the
series.
AS in other cities of the western
part of the circuit. it is not because
they are against the home club, but
that they are more than anxious to
have the Yankees kept away from a
fourth pennant in a row.
The Nationals also are favored here
because of the fans respect for
Walter Johnson, who has been pitch
ing so long with no chance to cut
into the big show.
Also, there are a lot of old time
Chicago fans pulling for Clark Grif-
fifth, president of the Nationals. They
have not forgotten the old days of
his pitching for the Chicago National
Leaguers and his management of the
Chicago American Leaguers that won
the flag in 1901.
