Great Problem Untouched. So much for what happened at Genoa. What is now likely to happen In Europe? The great problem of eco- nomic reconstruction has not been grappled with at Genoa. The confer- ence was prohibited from taking up essentials, through which alone the Germany has a pre-war debt of roads, has 14,000,000,000 in obligations to federal states and municipalities and has outstanding 246,000,000,000 discounted treasury notes.

Mr. Lloyd George met these crises with consummate tact and grim de- termination to hold the conference together. French determination to sacrifice none of her logical and ab- stract rights to contribute to the so-| lution either of the Russian question or any of the problems of reconstruc- tion made the task of the British premier one of the greatest of his Yife. Political Bombs Hourly. There were surprise explosions of political bombs almost hourly. By a miracle of management on the part of Mr. Llovd George, aided at every turn by the policy of conciliation and good sense on the part of Itay, the succession of crises was passed. The settlement of the Russian ques- tion has been mo settlement at all, but merely a reference to them. The direct successors of the Genoa con- ference are the two Hague commis- sions, one composed of epresentatives of the powers, with the exception of Germany, appointed not at the con- ference, but by the individual gov- ernments: the other including repre- sentatives of the soviet republics. They are to meet at The Hague to at- tempt to find some ¢ommon basis of action. Lloyd George's Dream. At the opening of the conference Mr. Lloyd George denominated the gathering, not as an economic con- ference, but a peace conference. He had drawn in alarming terms a pic- justment of the German indemnity in a form possible for the German nation to bear; second, reduction of arma- ments so that by lessening military expenditures there will be some hope of balancing budgets in certain countries, while at the same time by such re- duction of military forces the extreme danger of aggressive military policles and ambitious desires of European hegemony will become less dangerous. Boundaries Are Unsound. Third—Readjustment and definite fixing of boundaries so that the fu- ture may promise some practical se- curity. ~There are now boundaries ethnically, economically or geograph- ically unsound. It is impossible to draw a map of Europe 80 as to make true ethnic boundaries. One might as well try to draw a line across a checkerboard which would range all the white squares on one side and all the black squares on the other. Eth- Furthermore, will she agree in time to prevent financial catastrophe in Germany? The first act in America's role ought to be to throw all the moral force she can on the side of a sane adjustment of indemnity burdens. By that I do not mean abatement of one jot of what it is possible to obtain, but I Mo mean that blind greediness should not be permitted to wreck Europe. Upheaval in Possibilities. There are not impressive reasons for hoping France will act sensibly and promptly. Her logical mind, remem- bering the terrible injuries resting on the lever of the Versailles treaty, de- mands her pound of flesh. A settlement must be made quickly to avoid the possibllities of invasion by France and tne catastrophic danger of financial collapse of Germany, a col- lapse involving inability to feed her over-industrialized population. Slow nic boundaries being impossible of starvation does not lead to radicalism, resources to force rearrangement of indemnities, help stabilize currencies, attack comprehensively the problem of demoralized transit facilities and give credit temporarily to feed coun- tries which cannot balance their for-. eign trade until internatlonal mar. kets are restored. Every small loan we make not only invades resources we can more effec- tively apply later, but postpones re- alization by Europe of the true na- ture of its situation. T belleve it possible for America to help eastern Europe comprehend the vital need for those cpuntries sink- ing their prejudices and recognlzing their economic unity. Something approximating economic federation is attainable, but attalnable only through American help and direction, Europe's problem is economic, it is true, but underneath is political, and underneath the political, spiritual. The reproductive energies of Ger- ture of peaceless Europe with un- : 3 e g Sl R L ities that have. made the name famous. That is a reason for: with possible danger. He came to Genoa with the belief that the con- ference would bhe a failure unless " something was done, even of a tem- 2 insurance out of hos- porary charadter. xiving against the breaking tilities. 3 He had in mind a simple ten-year pact of non-aggression in which every nation of Europe would unite in agreeing -to recognize _existing +frontiers and not to invade its neigh- bors daring the life of the pact.
