Why is. this written, printed and read, when every Englishman knows that the Lloyd George hammer missed the nailhead this thne? In Germany lies exceeding any circulated during the war suc- ||ceeded in hiding the fact that the German government was accused by | |nine goverpments in two official let- ters and many angry speeches of dis- loyal and dishonest behavior; was ex- cluded from the more important dis- cussions; was not invited to The Hague conference of experts; and that nearly two hundred officials, with the lira costing 16 marks, en- joyed an aimless spring holiday on the Riviera without doing the sem- blance of useful work. As representatives of mo great na- tion ever before have been insulted in this way, only extraordinary skill on the one hand and stupid indiffer- ence on the other were necessary to make the people believe their dele- gation played an important role and at the end were highly esteemed. This effort was successful and en- abled this absurd comedy to be turn- ed into a world historical event, Vast Money Consumed. Three dozen governments, rep- resented mostly by individuals Who are becoming miore and more accustomed to spending a large part of every year in beautifully situ- ated conference places with sumptu- ous living —these, with reporters chronicling chatter and quarrels not worth reporting, ' swallowed moun- tains of money. Who, then, would confess that the whole show was no better than a stack of wet fireworks? Such confession would show the peo- ple that The Hague meeting will be superfluous. Enough already is known about Russian conditions and the bolshevik mentality—as Hoover's re- cent speech plainly showed—to judge whether , fredit should be granted {Russia without trying the arts of the Dutch cooks; but The Hague, as the name Implies, Is to be the hedge which hides political failures, taking for granted that the United States, which some regard as Greater Mor- gania, is so eager for continental recovery that the Olympic will blos- som with dollars and Europe will be turned into a policeless paradise. If nothing s accomplished in the Carnegi@\ peace palace, the ministers might g0 to some fashlonable bath- ing place ‘and put the world in order during lunch and bless the people at dinner. All this would be impossible it the truth ~were known about Genoa. When Voltaire wrote, nd that’s how history is written,” nobody im- £ined what new poison-gas weapons official lies would have at their com- mand two centuries later. Today, when home-coming delegations aré credited in the papers with “hi success and an extraordinary incre of German prestige,” the dollar is worth thirty marks more than before the conferénce; meanwhile the pur- chase value of the mark Is falling, and whether it will rise depends not on parliamentary oratory but on the Paris _reparations loan negotiations. The Genoa gathering recelved much greater 'attention here than the Washington conference. Greatest Show Since Barnum’s. ‘What's the difference between the two? Washington was a quiet, im- partial discussion of state affairs. Genoa was the greatest show since Barnum's, At the former there was a clear program, the greater part of which was accomplished. At the latter there was confusion and a mist of words wherein no urgent Euro- pean question was solved. It is clear to every business man that ruined and starving Russia can get capital and credit only if old debts are recognized and private property guar- anteed. Lloyd George was under the delusion he could decoy the Russians from the communist trenches, tame them, and, without offering capital, parade them before his distrustfui English .constituents. When he per- ceived this was pure illusioh he tried in an anti-war pact to pose before the old, and particularly before the new, world as ‘a protector of peace and trade. When Poincare declared France also wanted peace, but did not believe trade could be obtained through compromises with those who refused to recognize property rights, the ~white-haired gentleman from Wales could do nothing but switch on the lights in the lighthouse near The Hague. There is no real mate- rial for conference in that mass of quarrels and election tricks. Thirty governments had opportunity to pre- sent their views and take nothing home but hotel, restaurant and tele- graph_receipts. The Russians have only been emboldened in their de- mands for t tionalization of fof- Since their hopes-for And Germany? “She has the Rapallo treaty, which insures absolutely nothing. It brings resumption of diplomatic relations, but arouses dan- gerous jtlusions in the nation. Minis- terial speeches point to the danger from inereased aleoholic consumption but that’s not all. Brandy, beer an lies have produced & state of intoxica- tion. “We and the Russians—200 mil- lion s If thi es-Genoa a “world's his- torical event’—and I, myself, sce no other result—everybody who wishes brighter days for Germany and de- sires German intelligence used in world organization must oppose it.
