s THE SUNDAY OREGOTTAX. PORTLAND, JULY 9, 1922 ' FRANCE HOLDS KBf F 0 6ERMA E Concessions Must Be Made if Problem Is Settled. FRENCH FRANC FALLING Economic Experts See No Hope of America Helping' Under Present Conditions. WASHINGTON, D. C, July S. (By the Associated Press.) Solution of the German financial and indus trial problem rests with France, in the opinion expressed today iy well- inforced economic experts of the United States government. Partici pation in any relief measures for German rehabilitation under present conditions was regarded. by some officials as an economic impos sibility.. - ' " Viewed from the economic ange, the German situation, it was de clared, was solely a question of Ger man credit, which rested upon the reparation terms. Unless Prance is willing to make concessions in the matter of reparations to enable Germany to carry her burden, Ger many, it was asserted, cannot hope to borrow money to continue her rehabilitation and meet reparations payments. German Credit Believed NIL Under present reparations condi tions, some officials regard Ger many's credit as practically nil, and with a loan from the United States government out of the question, it was seen how funds from private sources could be raised in. 'this coun try un4l a rearrangement of the reparations system would free suf ficicient German securities to en able the flotation of a loan. France, in view of some officials, is facing two courses with respect to Germany, either the maintenance of the present attitude of standing firm and taking eventual German payments or granting of repara tions concessions, permitting Ger many to make some payments in the near future with the resultant increase in French stability.' French Fntne Kalllng. The French franc, officials pointed out, is falling, as well as the Ger man mark, and it is believed here that a more stable German currency would be reflected in a improve ment of the French exchange po sition. The probability of Germany's failing to make the reparations pay ment of 50,000.000 gold marks on July 15 was not regarded 'by offi cials as foreshadowing any serious economic consequences, as it was explained that it would only be a postponement of payment. Officials added, however, that should the Ger man payment be made some disrup tion of exchanges affecting British pounds. Scandinavian currencies and probably the French franc, as well would result from the purchase of gold by the Germans to meet their obligations. LONDON, July 8. (By the Asso ciated Press.) American, embassy officials said today that, while no formal representations had been made by the British government looking to the participation of the United States in allied efforts to rehabilitate Germany, the subject had been discussed for some time in diplomatic and other circles and the hope expressed that the United States might be induced to lend its support to the project. It is generally pointed out in financial quarters' here and else where In Europe that in the present state of Europe's' financial depletion little can be done by the allies to restore Germany's shattered eco nomic structure without the assist ance of the United States. publican facade and that Berlin'B laws will be-, defied by the Ba varians. " Secret Societies Powerful. The center of the "consul organi zation" founded by ex-Captain Ehr hardt is in Munich. It has thou sands or active members every where. It issues orders "to suppress by any means every movement (based on internationalism." , I TViaf maane oil ii.Iia Aaaia an derstanding among peoples and who don't put German selfish ambitions above everything else. The mem bers of the "consul organization" are instructed never to argue with such elements, but to use their weapons unhesitatingly. They are urged further - to invent "new.and irresistible weapons, for instance the firing of explosives at a dis tance by electricity, and to select particularly resolute men for special duties." " - Hundreds of such secret societies exist with plenty of money, power- fl fnfl,.AnAn A x for civil war, and thousands sup port them for their "'patriotic mo tives." . v , Poison Penetrates Deep. This poison has penetrated too deep and the blunders of the victors have been too many to hope for the speedy healing of a government whose next task will be to notify creditors that it cannot pay its debts. A clear but unthreateningr declar ation from the powers might help the situation in Germany. It should be to the effect that: "Every help will be accorded to assist peaceful Germany, but there will be no intercourse with a Ger many returned to monarchism." An international congress of un official liberal leaders should follow this declaration. The German republic, however, will be safe when it needs no other protection than its constitution and a proper public spirit. . GERMAN POLICY SCORED (Continued From First Page. . mts repuDiic is colorless, dull and unglorious, with only the tre mendous burden of its predecessor's debts, then naturally the belief arises among the people that the old times, with their orderly, spruce conditions and their low prices were best. The masses readHy believe that their illness is the result of a fever. Policy Arraigned Scathingly. Given such ignorance, one can readily imagine the effect on the unpolitical German mind of the fol lowing series of declarations since the year 1918: 1. We were not defeated in the war, but betrayed by the socialist democrats, the Jews and the pacif ists on the eve of triumph. 2. We were cheated of our prom ised rights by a faithless enemy. 3. Since then we have been insulted, robbed, dishonored by breaches of the treaty, by the extortions of the reparations commission, by annexa tions and by the presence of black troops on our soil. These statements daily have been hammered into millions of German minds by innumerable papers and magazines. The whole flock of newspapers has sprung up, thriving wonderfully on the glorification of kaiserism, militarism and monarch ism. They have conducted an anti Semitic campaign and have agitated preparedness for revenge. Their thrift has come largely from adver tising by nationalist business men. Many of these publications are di rected by ex-officers, mostlv and they have been propagated by letters of recommendation from the Hohenzollern princes. Attacks Are Tolerated. The republican government has tolerated all of this and even (in the reparations. Silesian, Rhineland and-other disputes) has accused the victors of breaking their word, not realizing that such declarations would only bolster up the national feeling. From this belief, that out side Germany only scoundrels live, scoundrels who wish to ruin Ger many and started a war against the innocent German empire for that purpose, it Is a short step to a fanatical persecution of all who do not join in the propaganda for re venge, but who desire Germany's spiritual regeneration and hope to see the day when Germany will take herplace with the other nations, striking for a purer international morality. The bill for the protection of the republic provides stern punishment, even death and confiscation of for tunes, and partly reasonable but largely brutal measures to prevent the murder wave from growing. But we must doubt their effectiveness, especially when we know that in the second largest German state, Bavaria. Crown Prince Rupprecht again is living in the royal castle and reviewing troops, that mon archy still is alive behind the re- GEHMAN PAPER REVIVED ILLINOIS STAATSZEITUNG TO BE PUBLISHED AGAIN. One of Oldest Newspapers in America Long Factor in Local and National Politics. CHICAGO, 111., July 8. The Illin ois Staatszeitung, one of the oldest newspapers in America and ranked in its time as the leading German language American newspaper, will once more come into being tomor row. . . The announcement of the initial issue of the paper states that a number of this city's leading pro fessional and business men are be hind the venture to revive the .pub lication. The Illinois' Staatszeitung passed into the hand's of Otto Doederlein, former United States consul at Leip zig, Germany, during the second Cleveland administration, at a re cent receiver's sale. The paper was founded in 1845 under the name of Volksfreund. In 1847 the present name was adopted and for 75 years its political and social influence was a factor in the shaping of local and national af fairs. Franz Hoffman, preacher, banker, farmer, national economist and lieutenant-governor of Illinois, was its first editor. Among the men of the Staatszeitung, whose names are linked with the country's history, may be mentioned Brenttano, Vocke, Raster, Rapp, Mannhardt and the two Hesings. " The strength of its leadership consisted in a faithful interpreta tion and application of the ideals of true Americanism; and notwith standing the fact that It had linked is destinies to the victorious char iot of the republican party, its chief concern has been the welfare of the people, and an uncompromising de mand for honesty in politics and political offices. 1 Its decline began before the world war. And when internal financial troubles were added those incident to the war fever, it collapsed. 1 QEI1IS CAPTURE, IS REPORT Republican Chief Declared Surrounded in South.

' Erskine Childers, one of De Va lerate chief supporters, and recently reported as commanding the rebels in the area south of Dublin, is said by the correspondent of the Daily Mirror to have been badly wounded. DUBLIN; July 8. (By the Asso ciated Press.) There has been a re markable response to the provisional government's call for volunteers to assist in putting dowfi the repub lican revolt.
