VERSHLLES PAC S TBVEARS L Military Provisions Fail to Strip Germany of War Machine. Nr the Assoclated Press. NERI PARIS, June 28.—The treaty of N RI Versailles, almost completely a dead- letter because of German nullification, was 18 years old today. The anniversary of the World War document that carved new European political boundaries found all but ter- ritorial provisions and clauses cre- ating the League of Nations now in obeyance. Though steady German blows have hacked away much of the treaty signed in the Hall of Mirrors at Ver- sailles June 28, 1919, Germany is still separated from 1,303,879 square miles of territory she once ruled and 37.000,000 former subjects. Reichsfuehrer Adolf Hitler casts a longing eye at former German terri- tory and the lost overseas empire, but Frenchmen are adamant against any «, Pevision that might restore territory to the Reich. Military Power Restored. The treaty’s military provisions, de- eigned to strip Germany her great war machine, inspired Hitler to some of his most dramatic strokes in restoring the Reich to a powerful military position Hitler reconstituted the German @i~ force, raised a conscript army and budt a navy after negotiating a treaty with Great Britain to permit the | Reich a naval tonnage equal to one- third of Britain's. He remilitarized the Rhineland in| \. defiance of the treaty, resumed con- trol of German waterways and re- armed positions, such as the North Seas Island of Heligoland, which the treaty forbade. Other dead sections of the treaty | KONIG include: ‘War reparatios, twice scaled down, were discontinued in 1931, after Presi- dent Herbert Hoover declared a debt moratorium; Disarmament never took place; Guarantees of treaty enforcement | all lapsed after the allied powers with- | drew from occupied German territory; Kaiser Goes Unpunished. Punishment of Kaiser Wilhelm, who was ordered by the treaty to stand trial before five international judges, | never occurred, since the Netherlands, where he took refuge, refused to ex- . forever of | B Shipping News Arrivals and Departures at New York ARRIVALS.

Drafters Declared Not Seeing Far | OR M Enough Into Future. | BRUSSELS, June 28 (#.—One of Belgium's drafters of the Versailles treaty and World War foreign minis- ter, Paul Hymans today admitted the ‘World War treaty makers did not see | ‘\tar enough into the future. | ‘The anniversary of the treaty sign- | ing, 18 years ago, found Hymans ready | § to admit error, but he asserted revi- sion at present would “provoke new disastrous conflicts.” The Belgian statesman said the League of Nations, even though in *“eclipse,” is not doomed, and declared & “moral reform” was the first pre-| requisite of world peace. “Today’s task,” he declared, “is one rf appeasement, restorations and join- ng. | “The instinct of violence and the mischievous forces exciting all sec- tarisms must be destroyed and the spirit of the wish for peace created. “To succeed in this, economic in- terests must be brought nearer each other and fostered. international trade currents, the circulation of currencies and the exchange of goods must be re-established. “Right now Premier Van Zeeland is conferring with President Roose- | velt, toward whom the old continent's hopes turn.” (Premier Paul Van Zeeland, on a! mission to the United States, is at-| tempting to lay the basis for elimina- tion of trade barriers.) “It is easy to criticize the Versailles Treaty today,” said Hymans, “but to Judge in equity it is necessary to re- constitute the atmosphere in the midst of which the negotiations occurred. “We had just weathered the most frightful ordeals and awakened from ¢ the dreadful nightmare.” | President Woodrow Wilson, Prime Minister David Lloyd George, and Prenlier Georges Clemenceau, he said, | “were governed by the spirit of vic- torious peoples and this spirit in them- gelves, Doubtless errors have been | committed in this enormous under- taking and a certain want of fore- sight may be admitted.” “But the Versailles Treaty.” he! added, “contains large parts full of | business equity. It has given satis- faction to the legitimate aspirations ©of many peoples.” — SCIENTISTS TO SAIL Americans to Study Self-Suffi- ciency Discoveries. A group of American scientists and {ndustrial experts will sail for Europe eoon to study methods of developing | synthetic fabrics and motor fuels. | Dr. Henry G. Knight, Agriculture | Department scientist, who heads the | delegation, said European countries in pursuing “self-sufficiency policies” have discovered methods of producing cloth without wool, cotton or flax, and making motor fuels from such ma- terials as potatoes. - > .
