qusred Is q matter for the free choice
OF the victor"
Commenting on this, Julius Curtius,
foreign minister Of Germany, says:
IF the wording Of treaties has any
meaning at all, this can only mean that,
after Germany has fulfilled the prelim-
mary condition, the prescribed sequel,
general disarmament, must follow"
In fact, during earlier discussions the
otficial French representatives at Geneva
had constantly affirmed these principles,
and admitted not only the moral but
the legal obligation CT France and the
other States to disarm, not merely as
an obligation toward Germany but as
one Of the prescribed vital tasks OF the
league
Never says Herr Curtius, even in
the time Of absolute military might,
when France and her allies dictated
the Versailles treaty, had the despo-
tism Of the victor demanded that the
one-sided disarmament OF Germany
should be perpetuated. The raising OF
such demands ~ years after peace may
have incalculahle consequences"
To what extent did Germany dis
arm, and how? In pursuance Of the
treaty Of Versailles Germany has re-
duced her army TO 100000 men and
has abolished conscription. The Ger
man army Is now an army Of regular
soldiers with i2-year service. Ger
many has no trained ofifciaI reserves,

MOSCOW, THE window OF the

written looks out on q cobble-ston
side street in a section OF Moscow
which so far has undergone few out
ward changes attributable to the reyo-
luton. Hardly 500 yards from one OF

is here only one passing vehicle each
Is or 20 minutes.
Were it not for the large apartment
building so yards away, the Illusion of
being in . small town would be COM
plete, for there is no other structure
in the neighbofhood distinctly OF an
urban character, and there is but a
faint echo of the din rising from the
busy thoroughfares near by. For Is
minutes at time on q late afternoon
the only distinct sounds are the chirp-
ing of birds in an adjacent garden the
shouts OF children at play in the street
and the drone of piano.
Even the fire station at the corner
has Sfnall-town atmosphere about it.
There is something m the appearance
OF the building with its tower that re-
calls the station house in typical
American community. The scene OUT
side the station house doors is strikingiy
familiar, for the firemen sit about on
chairs or benches. or stand in groups,
swapping stories and waiting for action.
Their uniforms alone seem out of
place-knee boots, khaki jackets with
leather belts and khaki or blue trousers.
