4 % GERMAN OFFICIALS NOT FAIR, IS CLAIM Maximilian Harden, Publicist, Declares People Are “Fed Up on Absurdities.” LACK OF SINCERITY SEEN Charges Those Who Once Prayed “God Curse England,” Now Plead for British Safety. BY MAXIMILIAN HARDE! Germany’s Foremost Publicist. By Cable Dispatch to The Star. BERLIN, April 14—The German people are being fed up on absurdi- tles. The governing officials refuse 1o bo frank. They will not tell the truth. The inevitable result is mis- understanding at home, which allows the present cabinet to drift alons. Their claim that other countries dis- approve the action of France in the Ruhr because it is interfering with them getting reparations payments has the effect of stiffening the re- sistance here. The same people who only day prayed “God punish today are praving that he will England, instead of thinking wh a state with a deficit of seven thou- sand billlons paper currency can af- ford a vigorous policy to reguin lo prestige. The German public is i toxicated with the calculations’ of dumages France cupposed to be suffering through illegal occupation of our territory and expects a neces- sary miracle to eventnate which will extricate them from all of their troubles. Have Swapped Heroes. Yesterday it was Loucheur who was & hero in their minds. Today Lioyd George. only a short time ago the most bitterly hated of men. has taken that position as the result of Iils opposition to the French program voiced in the house of commons and in his various speeches. But you in America must not he too hard on a people who are starved both mental- ly and physica Should you hear something completely absurd from rmany, remember the existing condi- ns. In this connection here is the “dis- covery” of one of our engineers named Schuler. (American students need not remember this name as a part of history.) He is telling the world that the Ruhr is the scene of a vast mflict between Fr: and the United State: The he says, has discovered that Germany's steel Industry since the war hus be- come =0 formigable a competitor of the United States manufacturers that, should it once obtain the Longwy basin, the American magnates will be obliged to turn their whole concern into a film company and emlgrate to the healthy climate of California. France, he savs, is planning to don nate the world markets through the alliance of French and German or and supplies and the United States is working to prevent it. Prophet Schuler sees the only sal- vation for the world in an alliance whereby Germany, France and Great Dritain would unite with the United States and, complete an economic bar- rier against dollar rule in Europe. Falls to Comprehend. This new competitor with the Parisian clairvoyant obviously has not the slightest idea of American efiiciency or the might of the United States tariff laws. He is wholly un- able to reallze that the German worker, who now is paying 175,000 marks for a pair of boots—ave, even 160 marks for a single cigarette or 70,000 marks for a very moderate monthly consumption of gas at home—Iis no longer afraid of dollar- ization, but rather wants to wel- come it. Schuler ascribes States scheme to although it is fully realized that the latter, despite his chameleonlike demagogy, is not entirely such a fool as even to dream of making England solely dependent on continental Eu- rope for trade and raw materials. T would not trouble you with recit- & such silly nonsense were it not at serious journals of the German press, whose power in the past has heen potent, give it prominence, and it has been accepted by millions who still are in the dark regarding the political movements of the govern- ment. Believe War Result of Greed. For them the war was the result of business jealousy and political greed. and was forced on the kaiser and his peaceful generals despite their tearful Christian sentiments. The German people still allow Hell- ferich and the old imperialistic lead- ers, who promised them that the sub- marines would keep the American Army at home, to tell them that only patience is necessary for vietory to lead the const. ly growing national- istic party to power, and then to the restoration of Geérmany to her proper place in the world. It is because this is the situation that wild storles can Dbe circulated and accepted by a peo- ple who know no better.

NEW YORK, April 14.—The cruiser strength of the Japanese navy, count- ing the battle crulsers in commission and those under construction, exceed the combined cruiser strength of the Amerlcan and British navies, Dr. Charles Keysey Ldmunds, president of the Canton (China) College, de- clared in an address before the For- elgn Policy Association today.

PARIS NOW THINKS LOUCHEUR FAILED Fears Berlin Sees Weakening in London Trip for Rep- arations Plan. BY ANDRE TARDI Former French High Commissl: the United States. By Cable to The Star., PARIS, April 14 Louis Loucheur to London was a monumental mistake. The only re- sult to stiffen Germany's opposition because of the belief that France was weakening and was not ready to go through with her com- plete Ruhr program. When it was le hid crossed the channel there was a mildinterest h Tt was known he had talked with half a dozen Brit- ish ministers but, because he does not object to publicity. little atten- tion was paid to this 2t until the Daily Telegraph published his so- called reparations plan. which car- ried us back several months, did any one herc think a second time about the visit. Curiosity developed further when Loucheur,” carrying the paradox to the extreme, declured he had gone to London only to visit the museum. despite the fact that as soon as he returned he ‘had a long talk with Polncare. The people then realized that where there was so much smoke there alxo must be fire. and news be- ing scarce, the papers gave them- selves a free rein. According to trustworthy informa- tion the facts are as follows Loucheur, who wants to get into power and remains that his Jus reparations submitted at Parls, London, Ca ete.. will make for universal happi- ness if they ever are adopted, took it upon himself to go to London to talk about them. Before going he had a chat with Poincare. The lat- ter. who s unable to make a clear decision on any subject, did not dare to tell Loueheur to abandon his trip as it might prove embarrassing, he pulled out old plan ot December and elaborated on it The visit of M has been last Thus he let it be known he was fresh from Polncare’s arms, and this explains why Bonar Law, although ill. trav- eled miles to meet him and also wh immediately after he was the gues ot Lord Burnham. proprietor of the Telegraph, that paper published the reparations plan, asserting it was the “product of the best French minds." Thus Englishmen who conversed with Loucheur were convinced that the latter in reality was Poincare’ envoy. Likewise. Loucheur, when he returned to Paris, did not object to a certain amount of publicity concern- ing his trip. But the press has been bad from his point of view, and most papers criticize the move as spreading doubt concerning France's determination to carry the Ruhr enterprise to its natural finish with victory for our country. At first Poincare said nothing. Then Loucheur went to the Quai d'Orsay_and asked for support The semi-official press at once changed its tone, and Loucheur had it stated, without official denial, that the trip was authorized by the pre- mier. Unfortunately the statement will not bear examination. For example, the suggestion that Germany is to be substituted for Great Britain and France in paying the debts these two nations owe America has caused loud laughter everywhere among all who know that the interallied debt prob- lem is not so simple as all that Moreover, the old scheme of mutual debt cancellation long ago was dropped, and Loucheur, by warming over these old formulas, showed an unbelievable and lamentable lack of Jjudgment. From the political view- point I will make just this observa- tion: Poincare now declares his views are unchanged and he will re- announce them in a speech. How- ever, his hesitation has linked him with the Loucheur position, and the whole is a farce that should have been avoided. Poincare today real- izes this too late.

Copyright, 1923. SANTIAGO. April 14—Efforts are still being made to effect a compro- ntise on the Costa Rican proposal re- moving the requirement for partici- pation in Pan-American conferences to American nations having diplo- matic representation in Washington. Most of the delegates still think that the relief sought by Costa Rica is better obtainable in the form of an amendment to the present constitu- tion of the unlon, but that probably it will be possible to work out a compromise, agreeable to all the countries interested. One plan finding favor would per- mit any American nation without representation in Washington to name a special representative to take part in meetings of the governing board and sit at the conferences should it be desirable. Many, how- ever, consider this scheme unwieldly. It is generally accepted that the United States will not_oppose any change removing the Secretary of State in Washington as the head of the goverening board, because it would create a bad impression, It is also felt that the United ' States would be just as great a force in the deliberations of the governing board whether the Secretary of State were presiding or sitting as a delegate.

At the same time he emphasized his firm opposition to the proposal of the Iradical bloc that a decision of the {Supreme Court could be reversed by |a two-thirds vote of Congress. He ex- plains how his proposal does not in the slightest degree impugn upon the one all-important feature of inde- pendence of the courts, nor violate the equal power of the co-ordinate de- partments, which is the very basis of the American system.
