MUST LEAGUE WITH FRANCE AND BRITAIN FOR PEACE Otherwise, the "Peace" Made With Germany, Even Though She Signs, Has No Effect We Have Merely Stipulated Conditions; to Enforce Them, U. S., France and Britain Must Maintain Armies. By FRANK H. SIMONDS. PARIS. France. Hay 19. In the dis- . - i cussion Id detail of the tnns of the treaty of peace which haro been served upon the Germans, it is essen tial to recognize two fundamental dif ferences between this peace and all preious pre settlements of modern tustory. In the treaty of Versailles recogni tion is taken of a new order In the world. Hitherto the end of a great Trar has been followed by a settlement based mainly on territorial compensa tion to the victors and only inciden raiiv br financial awards. France 11- omdated her debt to her conquerors , the end of twenty-odd years of reelutionary and Napolenoic wars by the payment of 140 millions of dollars. Phe paid for the Franco -Prussian war financially by giving to Germany a billion dollars. The measure of a war In the past has been the provinces wos and lost. The Difference. Bat modern war is a different thing. The peace which we are to impose an Germany is primarily economic rather than territorial. We are going ;o put Germany to work for 3 years to nay some poruuu, nut f ar to her enemies this would be impossible hut to pay for the devas lation which she has created on sea jnd on land. After the Treaty of Frankfort, France resumed her own existence without enemy occupation i less than three years. We have foreseen the occupation or merman territory for 15 years, wun P01"1' r lennite extension it me icrmo "c nr.r comDlied With. Vnd there can be no mistake In the fact that we have put Ger many Into economic bondage for a generation, a bondage deserred. a bond EC Inevitable, gUen feer crimes, but no less a Bondage. We have taken her snipping, we ' - - . . i ae taken vast amounts of material) renlace what she has stolen and destroejd. and if It be exaggeration o say Germny Is ruined, it certainly; anndt be beyond the mark to say that for half a century she Will be n the hands of her creditors, flnan c ally, provided the terms of peae stand. What of the Future? Looking for the future, it is well !o consider what this means. Ancient war was comparatively lnexpensHe. lt was ridiculously undestructive. .ties ond towns survived and re sumed their agricultural occupation the day after a battle, but modern nar wipes off the map and the loser :n modem war must confront conse quences beyond the conception of any one in the past. Sj much for the fact that this is primarily an economic punishment of Germany. Now. in the second place, this peae cannot be a -settlement, except in the narrowest sense, because it settles nothing. It only arranges a method of settlement. It leaves it for the future to enforce terms. It adjures, n all essential cases with minor ex ceptions, the liquidation which hither to has promptly followed war. Therefore, it is is impossible now o go beyond the statement that if the terms of peace can be enforced, and are enforced, it is a Just peace. , But it may be a generation, granted, that Germany does accept the treaty 'f peace, before anybody can measure, its real value. ! Three points of View. I There is a third circumstance of major importance. The treaty of peace as drafted represents three thoroughly distinct .points of view American. British, continental. The American point of view was compre hended in the president's insistence on the lague of nations as a basis of peace. The British view was comprehended in a dominating desire to preserve and expand Anglo-American friendship, and the only less controlling necessity of preserving intimate association with France as guarantee against pos sible German aggression in the future. The French point of view was one Do You Want The Boss's Job? HE is the boss because of what be knows, as a remit of tie study and experience be has goae three gh.

Looking to the future, France was incapable or rely ing: upon any paper arrangement, any still untried experiment in Interna tional association, to protect her from a new invasion, and she was bankrupt and ruined unless Germany were to be compelled to pay for reconstruction in her 10 devastates departments. The conflict of these three point of view immediate. In evitable, and has dominated the whole pence situation. As a re sult, we bare a compromise, n compromise to be erltlcUed a all compromises must be as a sacri fice of essential principles of all three? conflicting settlements. Mr. Wilson's American ideal of ' without bitterness for the fu iture. has been modified almost oat of existence br the economic burdens placed upon Germany, burdens which oua-ht of rlsrht to be placed upon her. but as they mean long-standing eco nomic servitude of the country, will unquestionably promote as great bit terness as did the annexation of ter ritory in other wars. Germany Cannot See Her Sins. The theorv that Germany would recognize her sins and accept her loss in a spirit of meekness win not szana the light of day. It is. after alL in a sense, ridiculous to Imagine that. however just the sentence passed noon Germny. It will seem Just to ithe Germans, since It reduces them to a second-rate industrial country for an indefinite period of time. It Is unnecessary to linger over other compromises. To the imperative demand of the British colonies. Mr. Wilson has yielded, and accepted the .mandatory system, which, in fact. means l transfer of German colon ies main to the British empire. in the Surh fvimlftinnn an nnt nnnn this transfer are illusory. The truth is that Britain, France and Japan will hold the German colonies as they hold their own. and as far as Germany Is concerned and this is the capital point she loses them completely and without hope of restoration. m i lxiuu i nope ui resLumiion, T)e SJUBe u trne of compromises of the Saar and Dantsig. Germany loses both territories, the first for a period of time with the possibility that the loss will be permanent; the second permsfoently, but in eah case acqui sition by one of Germany's enemies is In deference to Mr. Wilson's con tention. He hedged about so as to , preserve the Issue and the cause of: the difficulty indefinitely. Xinly Stolen Land Taken. So far the territory to be taken from Germany is, without exception, territory acquired at the expense of neighbors of Germany and held against the will of the peoples. Alsace-Lorraine, Schleswig and the Polish frontier land represent the spoliation of previous Prussian ag gressive wars. The Saar valley be came an economic gauge as a result of German devastation in northern France. But who is to guarantee the per manence of all these changes? The American answer has been the league of nations, but the league of nations' has no power In itself. It has no! armies: it has no fleets. In theory. ; It was to become complete within a relatively early time by the entrance ; of Germany, but in fact this would: mean Germany's voluntary agreement1 to submit to terms hl(h every Ger man will regard as a sentence of I death. I do not th'nk any thoughtful men can imagine that Germany will accept the economic conditions of the treaty: of Versailles with any greater! wil lingness than the French accepted 1 the provisions of the Treaty of Frank- ! fort, or with any less considerable: reservation. Must Impose Terms by Force. We have. then, so far as Germany Is concerned, made a kind of treaty of peace which can only be imposed by force, for which execution can only be sured by continuing application of force, and it is purlle to Imagine that Germany will abide by the terms of the treaty of peace one day after the force behind them is dissipated. In reality., we have only in part made peace with Germany by this (Continued on pace X column 4.1 State. A USTRALIAN NEARS COAST OF IRELAND 1TI - BOLSHEIiN-C-3 PROCEEDS ES 1010 OF FOE 'J Gen.
