T HE LITERAKY DIGEST has printed a symposium of opinions':
A concerning the Fri-neh occupation of the Ruhr. These opinions,
while divided, show a peneral tendency to condemn both countries,
t rance for making excessive demands upon Germany, and Germany
for showing no disposition to meet even her minimum obligations.
The most interesting opinion, however, is one from "Hell Maria";
.Dawes. It is interesting, fur several reasons, in the first place Gene-,
ral Dawes was in active service in Europe during the war, and there-
fore, in a position to know what he is talking about; in the second:
place he is a man of unusual force of character and originality of
lLought and in the third place his is the only opinion which sees'
some hope in the present situatiou, and hope just now is what the
world needs.
General Dawes' analysis in part follows:
The renumptlon of the orderly progress of civilization in Europe
and the world deienda upon a reasonable settlement of the reparations
question under which, while proper reparations charges are met. the
incentive to effort on the part of the tlerman people in not destroyed.
Nobody differs on this point, but nearly everybody, for four years, dif
fered on how to bring It about.
Owmany. In the economic war following the Great War. has dealt
with a coalition in disagreement between theinselces. and this selfish
disagreement among the Allies, together with the results of the planned
degredation of the mark,' has created the feeling among the German
people that it is possible lo avoid ayment of proper reparations. No
German government. Klrong enough to enforce collection of the taxes
Involved by proper reparations, has been possible in Germany up to
this time because this feeling existed.
On the other hand, public sentiment In France, which suffered
the moHt by the war. could not be solidified behind a government
strong enough to put through a proposition for reasonable reparations.
To the protest "f the German Government against the Invasion of
armed troops into a peaceful population the French national con
science answers 'itelglum.'
The invasion of the Iluhr. therefore. Is In my Judgment essen
tial, both to bring France to a realization that only a reasonable rep
arations can be rollected and to bring Germany to the knowledge
that it can not avoid its payment. It should be remembered that the
great French army today Is the safeguard of civilization in Western
Europe. No one need fear Bolshevism at this time in Germany, pend
ing the Inevitable ultimate decision of the tlerman people to form
such a firm government that It can take the economic measures which
will get them rid of the French army. Just as France did when the
German army in I ST t occupied Paris. At the same time demonstra
tion of the impossibility of the collection by armed forces of repara
tions directly from the German population, the underlying common
business sense of France, which needs money, the fact that she now
Us dominating the situation and will not have a compromise forced on
her by others, will bring French sentiment the more speedily to the
reasonable view.
The last event In my Judgment necessary tn bring France and Ger
many to a common-sense reparations settlement was the invasion of
the Ruhr district by France. I realize fully that what I have said is
not the present view generally of the press of the United States or of
our people. I have not discussed the matter from the standpoint of
right or wrong. This Immediate situation is not one in which long-distance
academic discussions will have much effect upon European real
ities. The last four years show that In International matters events
determine policies rather than that policies determine events. Two
things are especially desirable In the United States less deme.gogery
In Senate debates, where the pleasing of uniformed local constituen
cies Is an element In discussion, and more trust In the strength and
wisdom of President Harding, who firmly, and taking one step at a
time is moving In the right direction. In my Judgment the United
States must face with courage Instead of cowardice Its unavoidable
responsibilities, and I do not believe the poli. y of scuf.le con with
safety be ridden much longer by the demagog. Moral principle the
dictates of humanity, as well as economic st". '-interest, all combined,
will force the United States, with unimpaired sovereignty maintalned.
Into that field of international duty which sln-e the war it has not
fully entered. In my Judgment, irrespective of the present condemna
tion by the Amcrknn press of the French move. It will be universally
recognized and acknowledged long within two years of this time that
the reasonable settlement of the reparations problems, whl h by that
time should have been reached, was made possible by the situation
precipitated by the French hvyasion of jhe Ruhr'

HOW I hate to journey forth on these bitter winter morns!
For the wind is from the north and has bells upon its
horns; with that wind I have a tiff, and it hands me swat and
biff, and I soon am frozen stiff, from my whiskers to my corns.
In the he-men sort of tales we are always being told there is pep
in arctic pales, there is stimtihnt in cold: where the blizzards
fiercely skim till they'll rend you limb from limb, you are filled
with snap and vim and vigor manifold. Let the he-man face the
stnrm in their bold red-blooded way; I feel best when I am warm,
when I'm snugly in the hay; let the hero, minus fears, face the
blizzard that uprears; I have frozen both my feet when I toiled
upon the farm, and I say that warmth is sweet and that cold
has li'tle charm: let me sit before the fire with my dachshund
and my lyre, while the he-men we admire view such comfort with
alarm. Let the bold heroic souls tread the snowy aretie was'e
while the hitter tempest mils o'er the land in frantic haste-, let
