Pressnre on Germany
,' Tho mairnitiulc of the task Franco undertook when she occu
pied the Iiulir industrial region of Germany is now being realized.
Teutonic resistance is stronger than was expected and difficulties
in the rear of the French, have developed. Collections on account
of reparations have been light. German industry, outside as well
us within the occupied areas is being steadily reduced. Thus Ger
man ability to pay gold on account of the indemnity charge is
steadily declining. Active opposition by German police forces
' to French military agencies has become serious in some places.
All this is different from what was expected. But it does not
bv any means warrant conclusion that the rreneh will not achieve hin.i. iiHUirm. v
their end
Iho occupied areas may be necessary.

The German magnates who have been exploiting Germany are
i credited with having enormous sums of money deposited in foreign
: lands and are supposed to be capable of buying necessary supplies
' abroad. This will not alter the fact that the Ruhr is the industrial

) always remains thJ possibility that France will be goaded to ex-
tremo action.
' Statesmen at Paris disavow the thought even of separating
- the Ruhr from Germany. There is serious danger that they will
lie compelled to change their program if Germany is too long un
' yielding. As the stage is set France will bring Germany to terms
or will otherwise indemnity herself, which would mean she will
reduce the German nation to straits far worse than the Teutons

Britain's Troubles
5 The British parliament is in session, and there are indications
I that, it may prove a stormy meeting. Premier A. Bonar Law has
fhad a difficult task assuming office under the control of the con
I sei vative party, and persons familiar with the quick changes in
j British politics predict there may be it complete overturn in gov-
eminent before long.
i There is great dissatisfaction in England over tho condition of
! unemployment, which is only slightly less acute than it was some
J months ago. The labor party is becoming more insistent that
f tho government do something to relieve these Conditions, and there
is nothing to indicate that tho government can do more than it is
doing at present
' The labor element in Great Britain is restive under the policy
4of the government towards tie occupation of the Rhinelaud by
France, and there is considerable agitation for the withdrawal of
British troops from Germany. The labor party does not seem to
,realizc, or care,.xthat a break between France and Groat Britain
iover the policy towards Germany would have an unfavorable rn
'Action in the Near Fast. Isolation of Great Britain in the Near
'East controversy might easily bring on a long and cosily conflict
with tho Turks.
i Reactions to governmental policies are quicker in Great Britain
Jtlian they are in the United Stales, and the administration of
government may be changed practically over night. Failure of
the premier to secure a vote of confidence from parliament usually
results in tho calling of a general election ami in most cases thj
'selection of a new cabinet. It is easy to undei stand something
of the problems that vex the British premier in Germany and the
Near F.ast.

thousands of people have been hop
ina some one in authority miirht ex-

told the Midday Luncheon 'Club ot
Now York that ''filth for filth's sake
characterized many New York plays,"
but that it did not represent the Ben
oral taste.
,fr. Skinner ilrawj a fine line, but
a lino that we can all recognize be
tween tho unmoral and the immoral
in stupe Production. "Uirly facts
about life which should never leave
the doctor's or th lawyer's office,
"make up ninny modern plays," he
declares and adds that one of the
promising things Is that few such
plays ever get away from New York
ami fewer still survive a trip into
the "pure clear atmosphere of the
Mill, lie West."
'What plays must' have," he says,
"Is a belief in human nature, a be
lief In the decency of humanity." Sex
dramas, divorce tragedies and dam
aged goods exposures have little faith
in and apparently no hope for hu
manity. Certainly they do not cater
to the ingrained sense of decency
which characterizes the American
public. Mr. Skinner plays parts that
are bad so does Mr. Whiteside and
others whose productions it is al
ways safe to sec. but they play these
characters so well that we love thom
for all their devilishness and out
sense of the proprieties and the de
cencies of our home lives are not
questioned nor insulted.
More strength to Otis Skinner in
his fight against 'Tillh for I'jlth's
sake."
