GENEVA. March 21.-"There. is a
new spirit in Europa Now at least we
approach something. No, have never
been a pessimist, but today when you
say you feel a different sentiment in
Europe-you arc right-it is here" In
those words M. Edward Benes. foreign
minister Of Cxechoslovakia. the out

rope. outlined to me the present situa-
tion in Europe.

1t is idle to forecast. but one may
say simply and accurately that Europe
feels the worst is at least over. Cen
trail Europe, Balkanized Europe, has
reached Ats adjustment more rapidly
than western Europe, but all Europe
Is slowly and visibly moving toward
adjustment. The great danger of
new war soon is about over. Only
Germany remains a hot bed of ha-
tired. reaction and bitterness. But to
my surprise NJ. Benes took a calm
view even of this.
Geneva believes the first step in
the Dawes commission, the second the
agreement Of France and Britain to
support this report, the restoration
OF united allied front before Ger
many. Geneva believes that the old
causes of Franco British misunder-
standing have been mainly dissipated,
that events have served to open Brit
tsh eyes to realities, also to demon
strate to France the folly of her many
illusions. When L say Geneva

OF nations here present.

Moreover, Geneva is q good method
of measurement, for in its recent ses-
Guilty came up, questions over which
intrigue. maneuver and rivalries be-
tween the great powers, might have
appeared, as they have before over
