home today by Senator Reed Smoot of Utah who went abroad at the re quest of the late President Harding to study conditions in Germany as they affect the reparations problem Equally doleful was the Impres sion brought back by Representative Ash well of Louisiana who also has been on a tour of Europe Both agreed that conditions abroad boded ill for America particularly for the farmer for whose surplus crops they said Europe was not in a position to pay Europe will be able to get along without American foodstuffs in large quantities they added because crops abroad in contrast to almost every thing else were good Action Soon or War Senator Smoot said he believed it ctill was possible for Europe to set its bouse in order without a period of chaos but he declared that unless the nations acted soon war would surelycome While the chief difference between rance Germany and Great Britain appeared on the surface to be over reparations he said he suspected that beneath this lay the problem of coal In view of what he had seen he said he earnestly hoped that America could remain free of European en tanglements He did not believe however that entry into the World Court under the reservations sug gested by the late President Harding would constitute an entanglement On the contrary he thought America could do much to aid Europe in its readjustment without Herself becom ing unduly involved Past Help Representative Aswell thought that conditions in Europe had reached such a pass that there now was nothing the United States could do save exercise her United States would have been helpful five years ago in settling these matters" he old jealousies have taken newi life Bitterness hatred and strife are still rampant withjhe question oftepaxatjons the Wnter eontenfidnV

paid reparations but is pursuing some other aim was the ground taken to night by Count Harry Kessler of Ber lin In his lecture on "Reparations and before the Institute of Pol itics The speaker named as the four points of the policy which rance is following "by a tradition which has become as powerful as an the possession of the Rhine frontier the weakening and disintegration of Germany a system of military al liances either carved nut of Germany or round about and threatening Ger many and powerful rench arma ments After outlining the historical and traditional rench fear of the Teuton Count Kessler declared "But if this rench fear of Germany is one of the great permanent forces of European history It is also a great recurring fact thftt this volcanic force of rench fear has regularly turned into active attempts to dominate and dismember Germany Every great rench ruler since the 15th century has reached out to grasp he German Imperial Pushing Separatism In Rhineland It was Count Kessler's contention that in aiming at the dismembership of Germany the fomenting of separat ism in the Rhineland and Bavaria has been one of the persistent objects of rench policy He cited efforts in these districts attempted with the use of such "rather weak Smeets and Dorten but "They are employing another nffich more effec tive method in the substitution of a rench and Belgian administrative machinery for the German and the wholesale banishment of the German officials They are taking the back bone out of the Rhenish people prior to swallowing it" Count Kessler regarded the status of the reparations commission as the result of an effort on the part of rench and English politicians to evade the responsibility ot setting a definite limit for reparations Speak ing of the decision to form a commis sion said: "In rance it paved the way back to a permanent occupation of the Rhine frontier and to economic crippling and destruction of Germany or If the sum was not fixed now there was some hope that later on it might be fixed at such a hight that it could never be paid by Germany: that therefore the rench troops need never withdrawn from the Rhine and that Germany might be crushed rance is financially verymuch in need of cash: yet she has never pursued the obvious courses open to her for getting cash rance has always flatly refused to have Germany's capacity impartially ex amined The inference that rance does not want primarily to be paid but is pursuing some Other aim seems Gen Bliss Lectures Saturday It was announced today that Gen Tasker Bliss will address the In stitute on

clearly that the United States ultimately will be asked by tne allies how much of the interallied debts she expects to be paid The book contains 37 telegrams and jitters most of thetn between Premier

position plainly in a June 12 message to the rench embassador at London He instructs the embassador among other things to tell Lord Curzon British foreign secretary that "it is tht: prob lem of interallied debts which pre vents us from telling Germany now the exact amount she owes The message adds: solution of this problem is in the hands oi Eng lands first of all and the United States

had not been published consist mostly of instruc tions to the embassadors on how to present the rench viewpoint on the situation Pressure Until Germany Pays They set out in great detail and often in the exact language declara tions already made by the premier publicly and emphasize Poincare's absolute conviction that Germany can pay must pay and will pay because rance will follow a' policy of making it easier to pay than to stand the pressure in the Ruhr Premier Poincare explains his Idea of guarantees suggesting that Ger many deliver the Rhineland railways to the allies give them certain
