- 4 U. S. Alone Has Power to Curb - French Aim, Says British Editor Declares America Could Swing Whole European Dispute Around With- out Entangling Herself. BY A. G. GARDINER, Britain’s Greatest Liberal Editor. By Cable to The Star. LONDON, July 21.—The public is awaiting anxfously the next move in the European drama. Prime Minister Baldwin's failure to induce Premier Poincare of France to modify his attitude has thrown on Mr. Baldwin the responsibility of act- ing alone. His reply to the German offer now is being drafted. Before it is transmitted to Germany, however, it will be submitted to Poincare, but small hope prevails that he will in- dorse it S M. Poincare’s own speeches and the tone of the French press preclude any such expectation. An attack of ex- traordinary bitterness against Eng- land is proceeding in Le Temps. Eng- land s accused of every form of treachery and self-seeking, both dur- ing and since the war. This venom is significant in view of the semi-offi- clal character of the paper, and by contrast with the moderation and civility in British newspaper com- ment tthroughout the negotiations. Under these circumstances it fs clear that Baldwin's reply will have short shrift from Poincare. It fs expected that the basis of his note Will be in acceptance of the Ger- man proposal for an internation commission of experts to fix amount of reparations. This was originally put forward by the Secretary of “State of the United States and hope exists in some quar- ters that America may see her way clear to support the proposal now that it assumes the character of an alternative policy. Would Not Entangle. Such support would be entirely noncommittal and would not_entangl the United States in the European situation, but would be simply a fact-finding procedure. The effect of an American decision to take part in such an advisory capacity would be profoundly important. Poincare has established such an overwhelm- ing military power over Lurope that he is tempted to disregard European opinion and ride rough-shod over all resistance and advice. But he still is sensitive to American opinion | which is the only external influence | that can be brought to bear on him, | Moreover, American affirmation of its original ‘proposal would have other | reactions of great fimportance. It | would strengthen the whole move- ! idea Charges New British Move Is to Keep Balance of Power Harden Declares That Only Through Franco-German Can Europe BY MAXIMILIAN HARDEN, Germany's Foremost Publicist. By Cabl> to The Star. BERLIN, July 21.—Political and economic reasons are behind the pres- ent British move in the reparations question. It is the old problem of balance of power. Since Russia ceased to be a great power and Lloyd George left weapons in the hands of France and her allies from Ostend to Angora, but took them from Germany, England h been standing alone against France No European nation is bound to Eng- land. She dominates Australia com- pletely, Africa almost completely, has a strong position in North America, and dominates the trade channels to South America. Polite Phrases Exchanged. Can she then demand to be the su- preme arbiter in Europe? She and France have been exchanging polite phrases. But polite phrases do not alter realities. The question s whether England, in_ case of need, would venture a war; whether she could long endure French airplanes and gas bombs, the closing of the channel and the blocking of food supplies. The apathetically passive German policy, which rests all its hopes on England, appears to believe she can be the supreme arbiter. But Ger- many’s will is not paralyzed forever. Whoever in Germany today advocates an understanding with the French is regarded as a_born fool or a traitor. But only in this way can Europe be rescued Sees Golden Rule Forgotten. { Gladstone's liberal cabinet was at- tacked sharply in the house of com- mons in February, 1871, by the Tories because of its passive international policy, and it was urged to protect poor, conquered France against the exorbitant demands of _Germany. Gladstone was able to rescue his cabinet, but he was compelled to beg the German chancellor to reduce the | indemnity. Bismarck had demanded six but expected only five billion francs and he said then that England expected an exhibition of humani- tarian feelings from all other powers, but never exhibited any herself toward her opponents. Sven the greatest admirer of Eng-| land must admit this in view of what's happened in Ireland, Indla, Egypt and the Transvaal. The memories from 1871 ‘show us that the 12th of July in Westminster was not the premier of a new play. but merely a new stage etting of an old one. Now a tory abinet is being urged to protect poor Germany from the exorbitant demands of her French victors. Whoever be- lieves that the city of London is moved to expect that the end of the Ruhr conflict would end England's economic troubles understimates the intelligence of the British. Every one knows that. reparations, the Ruhr, and exchange rates are merely symp- toms and that a recovery of British trade cannot be found in Europe. Balance of Power. In 1871 intervention was not due to the fear that Germany's possession of the iron ore of Lorraine would make her a dangerous rival, and, similarly, today political and not economic rea- sons arc behind the British move. In both instances it is a question of maintaining the balance of power; in both cases a weakening of continen- tal power is welcomed, but no new power must arise which will not bow to Britain's decision. France has the biggest army, the strongest subma- rine force and air fleet. From Calais and, in alllance with Belgium, also from the Flanders coast, in the Is- lamic orient and in_ the Mediterra- nean, where she holds Toulon and Marsellle and strives for the domi- nation of Tangler, opposite Gibraltar, she can become much more dangerous for Britain than in the times of Joan of Arc and Napoleon. Hence France is publicly petted by Britain's left hand while the right hand is busy sawing off the legs of France's wood- en throne. Danger in Southeast. The murder of Premier Stambou- lisky of Bulgaria and the replacement of his cabinet with a nationalistic and anti-Serblan cabinet is a danger 1o the French defense in the south- east. In conference with the Turks, Spaniards and Italians, France feels | the countrles were i iand ment toward a settlement, The maller powers are today so_terror- ized by the exhibition of France's military _strength that while out- wardly they support ‘France, secretly they are in sympathy with the British with agree England _four times out of five” said a distin- guished Czech statesman, “but we support France because if we do not follow England nothing hap- pens, and if we do not follow France something very unpleasant happens.” France Realizes Power, The truth is that France has power to bully Europe and doesn’t hesitate to exercise it. Me: time, the small states are desperately uncomfortable under the sense of growing despotism which is making Europe a chess board on which they are moved like pawns by the master at Paree. They would welcome an escape from this humiliating and in- secure position and would rejoice at evidence indicating the new policy had the morul approval of, America. The effect would be noticed D ticularly in two countries. Italy tirely repents the deplorable aberra- tion of last January which led her to endorse the invasion of the Ruhr She is hostile to the destruction of ermany. Both political and eco- nomic reasons make her anxious for the restoration of peace, an sha consclous that the military domi tion of the French is Brave menace to her freedom and securi Bel- glum is in mewhat similar pos: tion. The country is divided sharply between the Flemings and th loons. The former are pro-English the later pro-French, but the nomic interests of the nation are de- cisiv on the side of English policy. Belgium is almost as industrially congested as in Englund equally dependent for j the restoration of peace and conditions. The nroximity of ¥ i the fear of French pressure, makes her afraid to incur Poincare's dis- pleasure. United States Backing Would Help. s generally held, aldw s adoptiow of the which emanated originally United States, received backing of America the Belgian opinion would be over- whelming. In any case, the British note is bound to consolidate opinion on new lines, but it i{s within the wer of America alone to give it a declsive 1mpulse and make it the in- strument that will divert Europe into the path of peace. the she that proposal, from the the moral effect on however, Understunding Be Saved. i that her English partner is quietly| suppor & her opponent !

It is hard to call it @ real treaty, for the number of questions it leaves unsolved is far greater than the number it settles.
