T. P. CULLEY & SON 1327 G Street N.W. Open Evenings Ketablished 1903 THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON. Bitter F eeling in Germany Aroused Against Invaders blockaded raw materisls were res placed or the deeds of the ghost ships such as the Emden or the Moswe and the merchant submarine, Deutsch- land, which aroused the wonder of the world. Activity in Industries. The Franco-Belglan occupation, which has developed far beyond the original plan, now efter six. weeks has not brought anything for the show window.

Although the government been | compelled to issue thirty marks _daily, stabilizing_the issue at about 22,000 to the dollar and &o has prepared the way for an Internal gold loan. Vrance, which had not expected so difculties, seeks comfort in ironical questions, seeking to learn how it is that a state which had stored up so much coal is unable to pay the small amounts due under the reparataions clauses: how a country which ,in January declared it could j rot meet any obligations at all now is able to find billions for official and private Ruhr relief funds. It also wishes to know how the Relchsbank, which now is not a state bank. and whose gold reserves really are mor gaged to the victors, will be able to_guarantee the proposed gold loan. But Germany is not listening to those fronical ‘questiions. ‘A curious attempt to elevate sabotage to na- tional heroism has given a fresh impulse to the technique of deceit that hardens hearts as work hardens hands.

G. GARDINER, & Liberal Editor. By Cable to The Star. LONDON, March 3.—Bonar Law still holds his hand. but events and inter- nal pressure are driving him toward 2 inevitable action. The great perll ot a D the situation is that the delay may 4 e continue until it is beyond control. 2 Iqu\“ | | ‘l ] All observers agree that the present \ o passive resistance in the Ruhr cannot be continued indefinitely .and that maintenance of the military strangle.. hold there will bring violence ant that then more terrible things wil: follow. The view persists that the French military position in Germany !s not wholly” without anxiety. Poincare's promised adventure did not involve general mobilisation. but should vio- lent developments occur the present army s wholly inadequate and the grave danger would arise of main- taining lengthy lines of communica- tions in the midst of a great hostile | population, i German Restraint Remarkable. | The restraint of the German people 180 far has been remarkable, but symp. { toms are not wanting that storm sig. | {nals are being hoisted. Should vio: {lence on a great scale take place, and ithe conflict assume the character of a national uprising of an unarmed Deople against a foreign invader, the position of England will be one of alarming difficulty. There is no ques- tion of supporting the French under such circumstances. Public opinion would strike dead any government that ventured on Such a course. On the other hand, a policy of neu- trality inevitably would lead to aid from Britain to Germany, which would inflame French feeling. In these circumstances what would be the position of the British troops on the Rhine? Would the French hold them as hostages? Impossible to Forecast. It is impossible to forecast the lim- its of the conflagration Should the German prairle take fire. These con- siderations are plain to Premier I Bonar Law. They constitute an over- | whelming argument against drifting. He sees Poincare walking about a powder magazine with a lighted can- dle in his hand. He cannot blow the candle out himself, How to induce ! Poincare to extinguish it is what must be solved. Liberal and labor opinion demands the recall of the troops. It further favors Jjoining with America in a formal expression of disapproval of the invasion and in a statement of & reasonable plan of settlement. As an alternative proposal some liberal leaders would have Bonar Law ascer- tain the minimum terins of both sides and then call a conference at which | both Germany and America would be represented and submit these three aquestions: Submits Questions. { How much has Germany paid? { ¥ow much can she pay? 1 Footwear. How shall she pay it? Unfortunately France is in no mood! at present to accept such a course. The reparations motive has been re- placed _with: the determination to crush Germany. Until she finds for herself that this is impossible as a permanent policy she will be deaf to all outsiders. The' liberals agree to this, but insist that, after all, France is not alone. Therefore the necessity arises to put a peace policy before the whole world. ~Untll that is done they say the world stands helplessly by~ while- civilization goes over Niagara.
