A—4 % ECONOMIC RUIN- FEARED IN EUROPE | Franco-German Political Duel | for Supremacy Has Omi- nous Backgreund. (Continued From First ) and Germany with the semblance but | y of economic adjust- ment. And, ™ reality, in Europe at the moment there are three political pro- grams, the French, the German and behind both the Soviet, each wholly political in its objectives, each seeking | behind the cover of economic pros- pectuses to further the ends of a na- | tional, or, in the Russian case, of a class, hegemony. At the bottom the French scheme, even Briand's latest and most ambi- | tious conception, announced at Geneva | after its nominal author had been de- | feated at Versailles, is mnothing more than an attempt to discover tardily some economic supports for the old familiar design to preserve intact the territorial and political situation cre- ated by the peace treaties to the ad- vantage of French security and influ- ence. By this situation and by the military alliances through which France assoclated with herself the newly lib- | erated or largely expanded succession states. ‘France insured her own se- ! curity against a new German attack | and the succession states fortified themselves similarly against German, | Hungarian or Russian purposes. French Supremacy Sought. But this arrangement, purely political and military, and perfectly satisfactory in a Europe at once prosperous and peaceful, was fatally limited in a con-} tinent where financial, industrial and commercial conditions were catastroph- fcal. Thus more than a year ago| PBriand was driven to propose his United States of Europe, which fore- shadowed some organization of Europe on the basis of cartels, customs ar- rangements and financial co-operations. But in all this the underlying design was to fortify the political by the eco- nomic; politically and territorially Eu- rope was to remain in the mold of the peace treaties, and France to continue secure and supreme. By contrast the German conception, of which the recent Anschluss proposal is a preliminary detail, is at bottom no more than one more German attempt to bring about the transformation of the whole situation created by the peace treatles, to enable Germany to| escape from the consequences of & lost war, recover her surrendered lands in the 'east, end reparations payments, re- gain military parity with France and, eventually, by setting up a Central Eu- ropean combination of states naturally ‘united by economic ties, break down the French group, associated for political Teasons. Thus Austria is at once to enter the German economic customs frontiers. Hungary, in the nature of things as an agrarian state nceding markets and as a mutilated country seeking treaty re- vision, would follow. Jugoslavia and Rumania, although military allies France, would succumb to the inev table economic attraction .of the A tro-German markets. Czechoslovakia ‘would thus be isolated, surrounded, con- demned to go to Berlin for terms. The French combination would dissolve, but one must perceive that while the Ger- mans are employing the economic weapon, their aim is as political as the French., Soviet in Background. As for the Soviets, their game is un- concealed. ‘Their objective is world revolution as the prelude to the exten- sion to Europe and the world of the Moscow experiment. To forward this scheme the Bolshevists may play with nationalism in Germany or Fascism in Italy, support disarmament proposals at Geneva, and make special economic bargains with capitalist nations else- where. However the means may vary, the end sought is the same and is political.

Richards is visiting Washinzton in the course of a | tour of American churches, under aus- | pices of the World Alliance for Inter- | national Friendship. He is expected | tonight for a four-day stay. | Rev.

From Washington Rev. | Richards will go to New York to be the | guest of Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdick | of the Riverside Church. Rev. viet play is in the background. Aside from the French and Germans, | the great protagonists of the two projects of Pan Europa and Mittel- europa, there are various other states| with interests which not only conflict | with French and German at certain | points, but at others are radically dif- ferent. Britain, for example, is con. cerned always with the questions of trade and peace. Italy, as the political! rival of France, is greatly concerned | with questions of prestige and power. | Both Italy and Britain can stand to-| gether against France in military and| naval issues, because the: present French hegemony is distasteful to both. But both are just as gravely concerned over any restoration of German hege- mony. Economically Pan Europa would be a menace to Britain, politically and militarily Mitteleuropa’ would be - & deadly threat to Italy. There remain what might be termed the distracted neutrals. The states| like Holland, Switzerland, Belgium and ' the Scandinavian countries, suffering| to a_greater or less degree from the world economic _crisis, are concerned vitally with the present European chaos. They are equally anxious to see the| end of the French domination and to escape the possibility of German control. France Holds Advantage. There, briefly, is the present Euro- pean lay-out. 'There are the forces and factors which permanently underlie | all the varying and changing projects. | But what it is essential to perceive is that while international discussior whether economic or concerning arma- | ments, will always be conducted on the high level of morals and ideals. France and her allies on one side and Germany and her natural associates on the other are working for their own politics all the time, while Italy and ritain_are trying to protect or ad- vance their own similar interest now, by backing Germany—now by support- | ing France. | In this collision of French and Ger-| man purposes, France has two colossal | advantages. ~ First, her own military strength and that of her allies; cecond, her financial power, which enables her | on the one hand to subsidize her allies and, on the other, to excrt pressure upon Germany and her friends, which must obtain fereign loans and, in t: current situation, have no source e: cept the French. Even Italy measurabl suffers from this fact. Thus, while in the days of the Ruhr occupation it was perhaps exact to speak of the French_military hegemony in Europe, today finance has taken the place of armies. | Nevertheless, despite these great ad- vantages it is no longer to be ques- tioned that the French scheme has broken down for the simple but suf- ficing reason that it was founded ex- clusively upon military rather than material bases, upon politics rather than economics. Herself economically a self-contained ~ country, relatively slightly industrialized, France is botn unable to offer a market to her agra- rian allies and to supply them with their industrial needs. Germany, not France, is the market for Poland, Jugo- slavia and Rumania, as well as Hun- | gary. Even Czechoslovakia is, by the Very force of geography, a unit in the Central European group. ' Nature, itself, seems to have designed all Central Eu- rope as a homogeneous economic bloc. Decay Foreshadowed. i ‘The effort to set up a political com- bination in absolute contradiction of natural economic facts has resulted in the progressive disintegration and de- cay of the economic life in all of Central Europe. This decay was fore- shadowed when the peace treatics Bal-| + kanized the whole area, setting up new | frontiers and insuring new tarifl bar-| riers. Enormously accentuated by the resent world depression, in itself the ing was unworkable, ' the other hand, while Germany A has all the advintages incident to| position and the natural lmerdepend-‘ ence of her industrial plant with the agrarian resources of the other Central Furopean countries, she also suffers | from certain grave handicaps. 'The war drained her of her liquid capital, the post-war - experiences of inflation’ de- | stroyed her middle class, the onset of the world crisls, most severely felt in Germany, produced social and political | effects which may yet bring about the | collapse of the whole German govern- | mental framework. Her industrial | lant is in perfect shape, her technique | of production is admirable, but weighted down with the burden of reparations | payments, compelled to produce greatly | under conditions involving a progres-| sive lowering of the national standard | of living, she is totally urable to carry | on single handed. She must borgow | abroad to live at home. But where? America is not lending in Europe. Britain is unable to help. There remains France, but to get meney in Prance, Germany must agree to political econditions which in fact amount to the acceptance of the French conception. In a word, Ger- ny must accept her present frontiers as permanent, her disbarred state as| final and consent to act a French- written role in a French-directed Eu- ropean drama. And that is impossible | for any German government. The ate | tempt to meet French ideas even mod- erately Jilled Stresemann and he could have no successor in the present tem- er of the despairing and passionately excited German millions, { German Collapse Feared. | ‘There is, then, in Germany the pat- | ent possibility that either there will be an economic collapse resulting from the impossibility to proceed without foreign aid, or a political explosion due to an enforced submission by the exist- | ing government to French terms. No one of the informed public men with whom I talked in Europe deemed it! possible to exclude the possibility of | some form of German collapse or ex-| plosion, the effect of which would be| felt from Hamburg to Constantinople. | Meantime the immediate effect of | this Franco-German deadlock is & pro- | gressive economic and even moral dis- integration in all of Central Europe. Returning to Berlin, Vienna and Buda- | pest after three years of absence, I found nothing more striking than the unanimity of the testimony from all| sides, from foreign diplomats and jour- | nelists quite as much as from domes- | tic bankers and business men, that “Europe is going to the dogs.” After more than a full decade of ex- periment with the system set up by the Paris peace treaties in Central Europe, | no objective investigator could fail o] arrive at the conclusion that the system has broken down, that es a result of | the breakdown political, economic and social disintegration is proceeding with | appalling rapidity. The single perti- | inquiry is whether co-operation | eplace chaos in time, | Americans from a distance might casily gather the impression that all the various pending projects of Euro- || pean co-cperation and combination | renresent. some coherent effort to deal | with the situation. But attendance upon the most insignificant of inter- | netional meetings instantly discloses the utter anarchy which lies behind th carefully worded official statements de- signed to diszuise futility and failure. | It is this total failure to arrive at any adjustment between political forces | facts, this progressive | disintegration on one hand combined with unbreken paralysis on the other, | which has resulted in the raising of | the question as to the future of capi-| talistic civilization. And if there is any solid_basis for optimism it arises from | the fact that the possible danger is at | last being recoghized from one end of Europe to the other.

Semi-Annual Clearance SECRET PETITION | LAID T0 ‘POLITICS Montgomery Official Sees At- tempt to Destroy Coun- ty’s Credit. BY WILLIAM S. TARVER, Staff Correspondent of The Star. SILVER SPRING," Md., June 4-— Petitions circulated through Mont-| gomery County. demanding a grand jury investigation of the county administra- tion brought forth countercharges last | night from Lacy Shaw, president of the Board of County Commissioners, that the move was “political character as- sassination,” initiated by anti-adminis- tration leaders for the purpose of ruin- ing the county's credit. He said the motive back of the cir- culation of the petitions was to make it difficult or impossible for Montgomery to find a market for its road.' school and park bonds authorized by the last Legislature and so defeat the develop- ment program of the Democratic organ- ization now in power. Responsibility Denied. Meanwhile leaders of the Progressive Democratic party and the Republican party steadfastly denied authorship of | the petitions and disclaimed that prep- aration of the petitions was instigated by them or that they have circulated them or urged that they be signed. They said that the petitions are evidences of widespread dissatisfaction with methods of the present adminis- tration, which is finding an outlet. The petitions, they said, had their origin in the rank and file of the anti-adminis- tration forces and in no sense represent a premediated poltical move by leaders. Circulation of the 100 petiticns, now being signed, has been going on for about a week, it was learned yesterday, but £o quietly was the work done that organization leaders knew nothing of it until publication of articles vesterday in daily newspapers. The petitions are anonymous. Mr. Shaw spokesman for the county administration, stated that the move 1s “but a continuation of the political character aséassination in Montgomery County that has been fos- tered ,and forwarded by political lead- ers opposed to the county administra- tion for the past several years. “Because of the fact that attacks of this character became so acute less than a year ago, the county commissioners on their own volition went before the grand jury of Montgemery County and insisted on a grand jury investigation of the county’s affairs. The county commissioners then felt that such an investigation was imperative in order to prevent the undermining of public faith and confidence in the integrity of the county government and the county’s business affairs. Clean Bill of Health. The investigation at that time re-| sulted in a clean bill of health being| given the administration. Mr. Shaw asserted that the probe a year ago was “opposed publicly and privately by these | same anti-county administration lead- | ers who are now -_culating the peti- tions for anct Mr. Shaw s that “if the petitions | being circulated have sufficient merit to justify the judges in referring them | to the grand jury, we shall be just as eager to aid the grand jury in its in- vestigation this time as we were in insisting upon it a year ago. “If it is the desire of any one in| authority that the records of the county shall be audited by disinterested audi- | tors, we shall co-operate with equal | enthusiasm.
