Gemeral Strike Move Falled. Their long isolation from the world and their tyrranical powers seem’ to have blinded the eyes of evén the eleverest of the Russians, and there is no denying that their pupils in the German section of the third interna- tionale have become ' pfesumptugus through having had a favorable elec- tion result. They hope that because 200,000 communistic votes. were cast in Berlin they will have the masses behind them. They wanted to begin a genmeral strike the last day before Easter, leaving the townspeople without light. water, cars, postal service, telephone or foodstuffs, and to force those already cowed to give litical power. ‘m:‘;:’- mistake. In spite of all the meetings and the proclamations, which took on a hysterical and grotesque form of exaggeration, the strike proposal has not up to the present time found favor anywhere. A lot of young, crazy-headed, unem- to fan the flames. Unprejudiced justice was nevel more necessary than now. Neve since the autumn of 1918 has Europ: been further removed from peace.

France, somewhat worried for a time, is convinced now that Ger- many will find no comfort in Washington in her efforts to avoid paying just reparation for the destruction wrought in our | northern provinces. 1 shall refuse to make a choice between diverse opinions as to ! what America’s final attitude is to | be, because the American govern- ment is passing through a period of evolution and preparation, and anything like pressure or sugges- tion from a former associate would be unseemly and unwel- come. It is obvious, however, that President Harding and his asso- ciated, after examining the world situation, have recognized the ab- solute impossibility of a straight- out rupture between the United States and Europe, which some consi@ered desirable a few months ago. A formula is being sought, and that _in iteelf is encouraging ,to those Europeans who feel that our war-time solidarity ought to con- tinue in peace time in an appro- priate form. 1 said a few months ago to a republican senator of the United States: “We only hope your administra- tion will not begin with a separate peace with Germany.” T was thinking of the Knox reso- lution.

The ‘miners’ representatives accuse the government of heedlessly precipi- tating the -risis by premature re- moval of control over the industry.
