EUROPEAN TREND
IS AGAINST WAR
Appraisal of Recent Elections
Shows Continent Definitely
on Side of Peace.
BY GERVILLE REACHE.
ecial Dispatch to The Star.

| Special Dispatch to The Star.
PARIS, May 26.--France this week
has appraised the new political situa-
ton in Germany In connection with
her own recent clearly pacifist parlia-
mentary elections and finds the Euro
pean continent definitely assured
against war and also against bolShe-
vism.
Moscow's worst enemies today are
no longer the conservatives or reac-
tionaries but the Social Democrats, who
have realized that MARKHAM extremism
would destroy the benefits the working
class has obtained in 10 years of un-
mistakable progress. German social
democracy now has achieved triumph
which some may consider excessive,
but which was necessary to show COM
munism its relative place.
With peace better assured, 1t Is i'm
portant to remove the last vestiges OF
militarism surviving from the war. The
German Left parties demand certain
international advantages which can
more easily be conceded to a genuinely
republican regime.
Advocates Evacuation.
During this year the zones now occu-
pied in Germany should be evacuated
This action would be particularly useful
If it were spontaneous and uncondi-
tional. France would reap moral ad
vantage far more valuable than any
material exchange that might be gained
through subtle negotiations
The reparations question is not so
inseparable from occupation as many
think and certainly a few soldiers on
the Rhine will not help much to solve
1t.
The Reich must pay its debt and
must admit there cannot be any
diminution without a corresponding
reduction of interallied debts, because
the Dawes plan is the corner stone OF
the whole financial edificc laboriously
erected since the war.
Doubtless it will be necessary to fix
the duration OF the Dawes plan. There
is no present reason why 1t should be
less than 80 years, the duration of the
allied debt agreements, which means
that after amortization Of the railroad
and industrial bonds in 81 years. the
Reich should continue the normal bud
getary annuity Of 1.250,000,000 gold
marks for 26 years more. But, as most
flnanciers find the charge too heavy,
they also find 50 years too long.
Shorten Payment Term.
II Germany could free herself by
anticipated capital payment--for ex-
ample, by mobilizing part Of her rail-
road bonds. which would in turn per-
NIT creditors to anticipate their
heaviest annuities--the duration of all
these agreements could be shortened
and the normal Dawes plan annuity
could be reduced to more reasonable
amount, such. for instance, as the sum
payable this year.
Such gigantic operation hardly can
be realized Immediately. but 1t might
be undertaken Immediately after the
American election and achieved during
the Winter, so that should there be an
economic crisis, then, as many fear.
this new arrangement would go far
TO conjure 1t by opening roster pros
poets.
The peoples of the world have placed
their bets on world peace and pros
perity and statesmen must, by broad.
foresightcd action, help TO realize these
hopes.
