~ ARIS.-If one we're to judge fu-
ture events by surface indlCa-
tionS, France is on the verge Of
l. a new and emphatic revelation
of policy similar TO her oCCupa-
ton of the Ruhr Valley nine years ago.
The whole cOuntry-its people, politi-
clans of all parties and the press of
every shade Of opiniOn-are with one
voice denounCing the alleged German
purpose fraudulently to escape repara-
tionS payments and Systematically to
destroy the peace treaties.
Not even in the AnsChluss crisis of
last Spring was French opinion so eX-
cited nor so unanimous Once, how
ever, this state of mind is examined,
once the various Spokesmen of national
opinion are subjected to the ineXorable
question, Germany is not going to pay
and what are you going to do about it?"
it becomes plain that while French
opinion is united, French policy is not
only vague, but actually underlined. In
deed, precisely as all American politi-
clans are united against the cancella-
ton of allied debts, but unable to devise
any means of collecting them. French
public men are agreed as to the sacred
character of French rights and silent
about means to preserve them.
In theory France has three remedies.
She can go to the World Court and
accuse Germany of bad faith, and if the
court accepts her view she will be free
to employ sanctions; that is, to occupy
the Ruhr again. In the second place,
France can refuse to permit a plebiscite
in the Saar in 1885 and thus hold on to
this immensely valuable region finally
There also are possible punitive tariff
steps and refusal to extend time for re-
payment Of loans to the German
Reichsbank.
Reparations Finished.
In practice, however. all Frenchmen
realize that the time for military sane
tons is over, and France is as little
likely to attempt to collect reparations
by using her army as the United States
is to enforce debt payment with her
Navy. Again, the Saar question does
not come up for three years, so there is
no present help in this direction
Finally, in. the matter of tariffc and a
further moratorium, the financial risks
are not inconsiderable. Being essen
TALLY realistic, therefore, the average
Frenchman has already come to the
point of perceiving that reparation pay
ments are for all practical purposes
done Of course, he goes further and
says with similar conviction that all
debt payments are terminated. Ger
many will pay no one and no one will
pay the United States. That is his pri-
vate view, although he still applauds
his politicians who thunder forth the
''inviolability Of contracts" He wishes
politicians were right. He may even
cherish vague hope that something
will turn up, but practically he has said

There is perhaps a slightly better
chance than that of the proverbial
snowflake in hell Certain material
and psychological forces are weighing
the scale in favor of disarmament On
the material side, and very important,
is the present economic distress which
is worldwide in its sphere of influence.
There are no specially favored nations
that can afford the present burden of
armaments or envisage with any light
heartedness an increase in cost under
that heading. Even France, which for

Happenings and Insight.

of their nature, it is impossible to cover
these current happenings in any pub

sent an ever-Changing Kaleidoscope

of date before they are published
Current events cannot be covered sat-

documents. These documents often do
not appear until a lapse of many
months: sometimes they never appear
in available form; often they are in

official publications and periodicals

Reliability of News.

perintendent of the Indiana Anti
Saloon League.
AS our reports come in, we find
that the dry league Endorsed can
didates ran far ahead of the rest of

Points Out Dry Vote
York pointed out, in substantial
ton of this statement, that David
Hogg of FIT. Wayne, Republican
candidate for reelection to con-
gress in the Fourth district. a. drv
OF record, ran 5000 votes ahead Of
Hoover. The popularity of Frank
lin D. Roosevelt was all that pulled
over James 1. Farley, Democratic
wet candidate, York said.
If the presidential candidates
had run close, or if Roosevelts
margin of victory in the Fourth
district merely had been one or two
thousand votes, Hogg would have
won,' York said.
The same is true in the Sixth
district, where Fred Purnell. Repub-
llcan, the incumbent dry, was de-
1eated by Mrs. Virginia Jenckes of
Terre Haute, wet and a Democrat
There also Purnell ran ahead of
Hoover, and If the vote on Presi-
dent had been close, Purnell would
have been elected"
Defense Plans Mapped

source of the Anti Saloon League
would be thrown into the fight to
keep the prohibition statutes on the
books. This is the worst dry de-
feat ever recorded in an Indiana
election.
A campaign of "pitiless publicity"
for the legislator or state official
who fights to make the state wet

York said. Several conferences of
the leagues strategy board will be
held.
Another plan which may be pur-
sued here is that outlined by F.
