- TIE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., FRIDAY, MARCH 2, 1928, RUMR OCCUPATION PROMISE TROUBLE Germans See Real Peace| Only When Allied Troops Quit Territory. BY FRANK H. SI) Correspor ot The BERLIN.—Three years ago. I was in | Berlin when the foreign minister, Dr. Stresemann, launched the first pro- posals which were to lead to Locarno. to the entrance of Germany into the and to the whole approachment with made international | ever since. Today German poli ce more at a point | of crisis hardly less important —and | again Stresemann is addressing himself | to_France | The triumph of Repu | within Germany and of a foreign policy of and co-operation. | history of Furope in the markets of the world, regain her prosperity, re-create her capital, she must have a peaceful Europe in which to_trade. 4 There is, however, an element which one must regard as imponderable. Apart from all the practical aspects of the question, nothing is more unmis- takable than the genuine desire of the Germans for a sound, friendly relation with the French. Despite all that has happened since the beginning of time, the German instinctively likes the Frenchman more than any other Eu- ropean. French culture, French art. French literature, the French theater are popular to a striking degree in Ber- lin at the moment. Nor is there dis- coverable any evidence of the wartime bitternesses, if indeed in the case of France they existed before the occupa- tion of the Ruhr. Evacuation Held Essential. Viewed from every conceivable angle, because of its effect upon Franco-Ger- man relations now and hereafter, be- cause of its effect upon th contem- porary and future task of bringing | about European conciliation and ap- peasement, finally because of its effect upon German mentality, I am bound to say that the prompt evacuation of Ger- man_territory seems to me the most important and pressing circumstance in the European situation. Moreover, to present German tranquillity. Germany will again be the strongest _| it appears just as important as a con- | S { tribution to_future French security as UTILITIES TO HAVE PART IN EXPOSITION Local Companies Will Conduct Ex- hibits at C. of C. Show This Month. . The public utility companies of Wash- ington will have 100 per cent repre- sentation at the industrial exposition to be presented by the local Chamber of rium beginning a week from Monday, it was announced today by M. A. Leese, general chatrman of the exposition committees Displays are being prepared by the Capital Traction Co.,, Washington Rail- way & Electric Co., Potomac Electric Power Co., Washington Gas Light Co., Chesapeake & Potomac Telephone Co. and the Washington Rapid Transit Co. The two traction companies and the bus company are merging their en- deavors in one exhibit, which will oc- cupy a dominating position on the up- per floor of the auditorium and take t form of an informational display de- plcting various phases of utility service. This exhibit will compare the old with the new ecquipment and contain models of part of this equipment. There will be a sectfon of underground track arranged so as to show exactly the operation of this system, which has eliminated overhead trolleys from the streets. A large map specially prepored for exhibition use will show the siureet car and motor bus lines of the city and adjacent territory. Models of the street cars will be in- cluded in the exhibt. Safety charts and safety posters will describe the work of the utilities toward elimination of ac- e en e A ! | cldents, and photographs of old cars and busses will recall scenes which have passed from the streets of Washington. A meeting of exhibitors will be heid at 2 o'clock tomorrow at the Auditorium to discuss the placing of exhibits and ! arrangements for decorations. Distribu- tion of posters for window display was begun_today _through cxhibitors. FLAT TIRE? MAIN 500 LEETH BROTHERS THE GREAT ATLANTIC & PACIFI TEA co. LOWER PRICES THAN EVER BEFORE!!

They must go in seven vears, according to the ‘ren‘!y. they must leave the second zone in less than two vears. They add nothing to the security of France which is not actually contained in the British guar- antee of Locarno. For the period of the unexpired span of occupation the Germans are willing that there should be League of Nations inspection to | prove that Germany is still living up | to her treaty obligations. | Il Feeling Threatens. Prom the psychological point of view ! my judgment is that if the current year sees no great modificetin= nf conditions respecting occupation, not only will the whole beneficent process of appeasement and conciliation be- tween the French and G..uiews 4ovp-os be postponed, but—and this is far more serious—there will develop in Germany | the conviction that no such appease- ment is actually possible. | In appraising the German state of} mind one must appreciate that it is practical. The Germans have arrived at the conclusion that for their own recovery and future existence European e is essential. They are concentrat- all their attention upon treaties of trade and commerce, not alone with neutral nations, but even with Poland If Germany is to reverse the fatally un- favorable balance between exports and imports, resume her pre-war position IS sin plicated conditiens the whole Ger- nent are ad- nd the gov- iations this ave performed. since we iven proof woard motor boats now on 0’ BOAT Jiect 1o the ap- 1115 am prevent tha | there Y | which will express itself at the later | veriod. | becomes _final. although certain restric- y may retard it.
