'WAR WITH BRITAIN BOGEY
German AVrlter Declares Hughes
Should Make Statement on
i Conference Happenings.
" BY MAXIMILIAN HARDEN."
Germany's Foremost Publicist
(Copyright 1921. by Th Oresonlan.)
BERLIN, Deo. 3. (Special Cable.)
But for Homer w should know nothing-
about the Trojan wars.
Today we need a word from. Secre
tary Hughes, so that the whole world
may know what has been attained at
the Washington conference thus far
and what has been prevented.
The reports from Washington are
all too meager. This Is due not alone
to excessive tolls, but to national bias
as well. The world Is not In position
to give comprehensive Judgment.
We know, however, of one thing
that has been prevented at Washing
ton, and that is the limitation of
armies. France believes that she does
not dare reduce her army. In addi
tion, she wants a strong navy, a navy
particularly strong In submarines.
Unless I am mistaken, she wants
these so that the United States will
consider her a valuable ally.
Brland' Speech Good.
Premier Briand's speech sounded
magnificent even to those" accus
tomed to the best opera baritones
and this baritone is not only an ora
torical master, but he Is a. friend of
peace.
Brland is much changed since he
defended a friend in court for saying
the tri-color should be thrown upon
the ashpile. But at the same time 11
Is ridiculous to' doubt his desire for
peace, and equally ridiculous to pro
claim this adroit statesman as a serv
ant of militarism.
It is equally foolish to doubt what
he says about the danger threatening
Germany. Judendorff's followers are
very numerous, and the public mind
has not yet been demilitarlllzed. But
what Briand said we have heard be
fore. Official Germany before the war
made no speeches saying that we
would wear heavier armor only if
compelled to do so by the threats of
our bad neighbor.
From these same quarters came the
extraordinary heresy of the menace of
an Anglo-American war. W hat could
be sillier? The day such a war was
declared Great Britain would lose her
tmplre. '
Our Emperor Wllhelm, In his dreams
of a land route to India, Imagined
alliances with Chinese mandarins, In
dian maharajahs, with the Japanese,
with Mexico, the Turks, the Persians
and Afghans.
Krrnch Diplomacy Poor.
Badly enough, the French parlia
mentarians of today are not schooled
in foreign affairs, and have no bet
ter understanding of the psychology
of other nations than the pre-war
German diplomatist. France needs a
Talleyrand, who regained diplomati
cally what 'Napoleon had lost It was
a cunning Idea for France to "squeeze"
England Into yielding on European
questions by making a separate treaty
with the Kemalists in Angora. But
that treaty can be effective only a
short time. It offends and challenges
Britain to retaliate on her ally. It is
as .'clumsy and near-sighted as
France's theory of offering Ameri
cans, who are not children, a reserve
supply of submarines with which to
fight England.
Brland hoped to shov the French
chamber that he was strong but sup
ple. But reasonable folk might ask
if it was worth while to go all the
way from Paris to Washington only
to report a negotiation before a world
that Is longing for positive .resources
from the conference.
Premier Is Crltlrliie'd.
. Brland forgets that France is not
Europe and that Europe Is not the
world. Agricultural France, with a
sure market for her luxury exports,
can live without great imports. She
has only 39.000.000 of population, has
huge colonies and no unemployment.
Great Britain and Germany, and even
the United States, are now dependent
upon huge exports, and they cannot
allow the work of their peoples to be
hindered, and overseas markets closed
and ruined just for the sake of
France's comfortable economic Becur-
' lty.
They cannot agree that everything
In Germany and the east shall remain
economically sterile. Security for 39.
000.000 French against 60.000,000 Ger
mans Is only attainable permanently
by affording an equitable economic
opportunity from which the first Ger
mans of a United Slates of Europe
might grow so that even the military
leaders would recognize the utter
folly of another ruinous war.
France continues to consider herself
the axis on which the earth moves.
' If she fails to realize that her duty
today, as well as the duty of all na
tions, lies in international co-operation,
with each nation contributing
Its strength toward a rebuilding of
the world, then she must prepare to
see all whose Interests lie in such
co-operation turn a gainst her, not
maliciously, but so grouped economi
cally that even Mr. Hughes' promised
moral solidarity with France would
soon loosen.
Treaty la Worthless.
- France Is the only nation which
does not realize that the treaty of
Versailles, even If Just, is worthless '
as a constitution for a world which
desires progress, and not the obliga
tion forever to gaze upon dungeons
and hospitals.
Germany also once had the delusion j
of being a balance between Russia
and England, until they united against
her.
The danger of such blunders is
smaller since England's policy is be
ing directed by the dominions of her
empire instead of by Downing street
It is probable that a British-American
understanding concerning the Pacific
Asia and sea power will give a hope
of commercial reason which would be
better' even for France than tivsteri-
Cal cheers for greedy orators and an i
Sternal fear of a neighbor's conva'
lescence.
I have heard of our wonderful high
ways and are looking forward to driv
ing cross-country to tour Oregon and
the northwest. I do not believe the
estimate already placed on the num
. ber of cars that will come to the fair
; is exaggerated.
"While in the east I visited other
points, including St. Paul, Milwaukee,
I Kansas City and Denver, and while
1 business conditions are improving,
(especially In Jobbing lines, no section
generally is In as healthy a financial
situation as Is Oregon. Many steel
Industries are at a standstill. Build
ing in Chicago will improve as soon
as the wage scale is settled.
"In the farming communities there
is an Immense shortage of cattle and
sheep on feed. It is expected that
the war finance corporation will en
able the banks to finance the pur
chase of livestock to eat the Immense
crops, which up to this time have
found no market This should hold
out early hope to the cattle and
sheepmen of the northwest."
Mr. and Mrs. Strong were returning
to Portland on No. 17 train or tne

other counties of the state their just

averred this would not work to the
disadvantage of Multnomah county,
for the reason that hospitals were
available there for the care of these
patients.
