W
y friends or foes, but impartial judg-
ment demands that friendship and
enmity alike be disregarded. Foes as we'll as
friends are entitled to fair treatment and one
must be on guard against prejudice or bias.
AS to the present case, the Russian people are
friends of Americans, and in times past the
Russian government has shown frlendshlp Ior
the United States.
In bolshevik times America has demon
strated that Russia's desertion of the cause OF
the allies in the great war was no par TO
American relief in unsparing measure when
famine stalked through the Muscovlte domln-
ions. OF this do not and should not boast,
for it would have been inhuman TO close the
ear against a cry for help. But the Russian
people have not forgotten. They remember
with gratitude. So it may be concluded that
the way is open for a dispassionate opinion OF
the rule of the SOvietS.
Despite the glaring Inconsistencies of Com
munsIn and the ghastly history back OF the
eight or nine years OF Soviet rule and terror
ism, Russia today has a settled form OF gov
erhment Its laws are enforced. The SoVlets
have adopted a type of civilization of which
have little knowledge and with which
Americans have no sympathy. We may hope,
however, that some good must come out OF
so much boodshed and suffering as have
marked the recent years and that Russia may
heed the solemn voices of experience.
Nothing can be expected of the Communists.
Trotsky has been suppressed by them, but as
Lenin's political heir he may be heard from
again. At present he has succumbed to party
discipline. In the elections practically no one
votes except Communists To put up an Oppo-
siton ticket is to face disaster, if not destruc-
ton as Trotsky has found out. The Com
munist convention determines the immediate
future not only of the party but of Russia, for
Russia is mpotent against the Communist
ruling group.

The bolshevists have asserted and exercised
the right of revolution, but have denied it to
others It must be noted at the beginning
that to prevent counter revolution the Soviets,
willing servants of the Communist party, have
been merciless in hunting down opposition.

European Feeling Against America
Growing Into Desire for independence

Franco-German discussions two of the
oldest and bitterest of foes brought
together as consequence of Amer
lean policy. America is today the one
subject most Europeans can agree
upon. Our debt policy seems.to them
all the remorselesS and deliberately
predatory policy of the single fortu-
nate and prosperous people on this
planet. That policy to the minds Of
the millions of plain people who suffer
is directly responsible for their priva-
tions, their difficulties, their troubles.
Nothing is more common in Britain
than the explanation Philip Snowden
mentioned recently, that the money
that should go to provide education in
England has to be diverted to pay
debts in America. The italian eats
war bread to enable his government to
meet the American debt, so he is told
at least. In a word, for what it is
worth of good or evil millions Of men
and women in Europe believe utterly
and passionately that the course of
the United States in the matter of
the debts explains their sufferings. A
whole new generation is arising in
Europe which regards the United
States with a passion which no longer
subsists between any of the bellig
erents.
We have done great and generous

One final word. we are in my judg
ment fairly near to some collective
European resistance. If. as seems
inevitable. the French ratify the debt
settlement, with certain reservations.
there is every likelihood that this rati

has waited. believing American opinion
would change and that America
would cooperate in a policy of can
collation..
But Europe is not minded to wait
much longer. The European opinion
is hardening very rapidly. There is
general belief that the debts TO us
Evening star., 1926-10-31

can be paid only by the gradual in
vestment Of such huge American
sums in the industries and banking
of the debtor nations that these
countries would to a degree at least
become controlled in the United
States. that the result Of the piling
up Of a balance in our favor annually
due to debt payments and ordinary
international trade would be such
that we should presently become the
holders of a mortgage upon Europe.
And Europe does not mean this to
happen. Europe is waking up to what
it conceives to be the danger Of it.
The American invasion is taking on
very clear and even sinister appear
ance' not alone to the uninformed
ma sses. but to the world of finance
and business as well. The politician
knows it and his reaction can be
calculated, the press is aware of 1t
and, not without measure Of govern
ment inspiration-or to say the least,
without government interference in
certain cases-is sounding the same
note.
Issue Is One of independence.
Insensibly. the issue Is rising from
one of debts to one of independence;
that note was very clearly sounded
long ago in Clemenceau's letter to
President Coolidge. 1t may be easy to
exaggerate this sentiment at the
moment, it is more Of tendency than
anything more clearly defined, but
there is developing, l noticed months
ago, but much more clearly this time,
what one must define as a general
European attitude toward the United
States. and it is an attitude Of bitter
ness. of resentment, Of suspicion and
of incipient hostility. 1t is founded
on the increasing belief that behind
our debt policy. which seems abhor-
rent. there is hidden and even more
sinister and dangerous purpose, which
is no more and no less than a purpose
to enSlave Europe, to use the war
debts as a method of obtaining control
of all that ws worthwhile in the
economic life of European nations,
their railways, their banks, their
mines. their industries, in a word, to
exploit Europe.
However mad and monstrous such
conception may seem to the American
public, the fact remains that it exists
and grows more precise all the time,
and under the spell of this conception
or illusion there is developing a gen.
eral European sentiment with respect
of the United States, and there Is
preparing q concerted and combined
political movement to dispose of the
debt question once for all by some
thing which may take the form of
cancellation if the United States is
conciliatory. but otherwise must end
in reputation.
Thus, in my opinion, before another
year has passed there will be striking
and perhaps even sensational devel-
opments in the debt dispute.
