The French kno10 that they haze
no chance OF thinning the Scar oy
olebiScite and are Dorking on a
plan to induce the Saar population
to uote in tdpor of q continuation
OF the present system OF goUeTn-
ment, under q commissioner dp-
pointed by the League. Those tDho
tolIow the situation in the Sadr
VALLEY say that this last policy
may gain a number OF determined
unti-Hitlerites, but all the same at
least so per cent of the population
ipiLI rote in fdpor of the Reich.

The reunion Of the Saar province
to Germany is going to cause untold
complications, because the makers Of
the treaty of Versailles overlooked the
economic difficulties involved in this
transfer of allegiance.
The treaty Of Versailles provides
that, should the Saar population vote
in favor of Germany, the German
government will have to pay cash for
the important coal mines which the
French government took over as a
compensation for the French mines
destroyed by the German armies dur
ing the war. The French mine own
ers were given stock in the Saar and
they are operating these at fair
profit.
Nobody at Versailles seemed to
hate considered the possibility
that Germany 1Oill not hate the
hundreds OF millions OF dollars re-
Quired to pay of the French, tUho
Uere handed ouer the coal fields.
There is no doubt that the German
government does not have today the
money to pay the French owners, and
even If it had the necessary foreign
exchange, Hitler would not dream of
paying them.
The argument put forward by the
German government is that the
French had all that was coming to
them during the 10 years they ex-
plotted the Saar Valley, and, since
the mines in Northern France are
working to their full capacity again,
there is no reason why the Reich
should part with so much cash again
This situation causes the European
diplomats many sleepless nights;
they don't see, for the time being,
any possible compromise, because of
the Ill feeling which exists between
France and Germany.

because he was extravagant with his

He was In Washington when the

had put his money in the Federal

Of it. This taught him a lesson. He
lost confidence in banks and decided
to be his own banker.

tic than old depotism. In the time
of Louis XIV no Frenchman was
compelled to serve in the army
Wars were made with armies of volun-
teers, mostly German, Swiss and
Scotch, commanded frequently by
civilian favorites of the King. When
the mercenary troops caused trouble
they were brought before civilian
judges; the court-martials never pun
ished them.
Under Napoleon III France made
q first real step toUard democracy.
Napoleon t1dS elected emperor by q
plebiscite, like Hitler, and one of
his first acts 1Das to order the for
nation of permanent national
army. the young Frenchmen dra,D-
ing lots for military serUice.
When the French republic was re-
established another step toward democ-
racy was made-the universal compul-
sorry service was established, each man
being obliged to serve three years in
the army and many years in the
reserves.
There has been about the same evo-
luton in almost every country in Eu-
rope as it changes from autocracy tC
democracy.
Had it not been for the American
ammunition makers, the World War
may have come to an end in the Spring
of 1915, when neither the central pow
ers non the allies had enough am
munition to carry on the war.
1t is true that the American manu-
facturers had to be coaxed to sell am
munition to the allies-they wanted
exorbitant prices and hard cash. The
allies, and especially the British, who
had important American bonds and
stocks were at first reluctant to part
with these good securities, but when
they realized that this was the only
way of obtaining the necessary war
materials they sold them here and pur-
chased the materials to continue the
fight.
Now the European nations accuse
this country of having prolonged the
war unnecessarily merely for the sake
OF huge profits. They argue that had
President Wilson ordered an embargo
on all war material there would have
been peace in Europe before the Sum-
mer of 1915.

BRITISH WELCOME
MUNITIONS PROBE
Embassy Here to Transmit
Full Hearing Report to
Government.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, September 5.-The Brit
ish government was represented today
by a well-qualified spokesman as well
coming the revelations of the United
States Senate investigation of a secret
armamentS pact between Vickers-
Armstrong, Ltd, of Great Britain and
the Electric Boat Co. of Groton, Conn.
A full report of the hearing will
be transmitted by the British En-
bassy at Washington for the consid-
Grafton of Government chiefs here
1t was stated there was no resent
ment by responsible leaders of the
fact that the name of the British gov
ernment was brought into public dis
cuSsions, and it was stated that Nor
man Davis and other American dis
armament delegates, made it clear in
their recent conversations in Europe
that they felt much could be done
for peace by exposing the tremendous
political influence Of private arma-
ment firms.
Pact Made 35 Years Ago.
BY the Associated Press.
The London Herald quoted Sir
Charles Craven, director of Vickers-
Armstrong, Ltd, as saying that a
working agreement between the firm
and the Electric Boat Co. of Groton,
Conn, both submarine manufacturers,
was made 35 years ago with the full
knowledge of the British government.
The revelations at Washington, in
the course of the Senate's munitions
inquiry, that such an agreement exists
created a sensation here.
All newspapers gave prominent dis
play to the testimony of witnesses
before the Senate Committee.
Agreement Admitted.
The Herald, Laborite in it's poll
cies, said that Sir Charles readily
admitted the existence of a working
agreement between the firms. He was
quoted as saying the Vickers company
had been using patents of the Amer
ican concern since the agreement has
been in effect.
1t was stated that the Electric Boat
Co. produced designs for the first
practical submarine and then gave an
order to Vickers-Armstrong, which
built five Holland type submersibles.
In attacking the agreement edi-
torially the Herald said that increas-
ing tension between the United States
and Great Britain some years ago
would have meant disaster to the
world, "but for the Electric Boat Co.
and Vickers- Armstrong it would have
been favorable market factor.
1.-The lesson is obvious. Firms will
not resist temptation to make divi-
dends from international friction.
And so, dividends must be made i'm
possible"
The Star termed the Washington
inquiry testimony "a shocking reyela-
tion of traffic in life"
1.-The business of ornaments firms,
as they see it," said the Star, lis not
to protect their country to make profits
and if some other country will pay
the price for weapons with which to
kill. drown, bomb or poison their fell
low countrymen, their chief concern
is to know if payments will be duly
made.
Whatever happens in America,
this country is entitled to hear the
answers to these charges. There is
no kind of privilege or official pre-
tense which should be allowed to draw
the veil over an industry which in
defense of nationalism has become so
international in its methods"
