THE GERMANS AT SPA.
As for the conference at Spa,
there is just this to be said about
it, declares Frank H. Simonds in
an article appearing in a recent
number of the American Review of
Reviews: Actual peace and order in
the world will only be restored when
both Germany and Russia are
brought within the world system
again. Success or failure in bring
ing Germany back will depend sole
ly upon the spirit in which Ger
many comes to a world conference.
San Remo was in a real sense a
dress rehearsal among the Allies.
There agreement was reached that
the treaty should be applied, not
abandoned, but that the application
should be in the spirit of reason and
for the purpose of restoration and
not of destruction. It is an enor
mously important thing for Germany
to know how much she must pay.
It is not less important for France
and for Belgium to know that some
thing approximating reparation will
be paid to them. It has always been
true that to ask the impossible w'as
to insure receiving nothing. We are
a long way from Paris, where repa
ration was discussed in the light of
the political controversies of recent
campaigns, or in the mood of those
before whom the horrors of German
devastation and destruction still
burned fiercely. Those who have
suffered most are by no means the
least willing to see the whole busi
ness of reparation settled, reduced
to facts and to figures.
But • the difficulty remains that
there is no government in Germany
strong enough to dare to carry out
even the most modest program of
reparation which is conceivable. Ger
many remains today defiant or eva
sive, relying upon past differences
between her enemies as promising
future salvation for her, seeking
now to terrify by threats of Bol
shevism and now to persuade by
propaganda directed at generosity
and sympathy. Such a policy repre
sented at Spa will accentuate rather
than reduce the gap which separates
Germany from her recent enemies.
The beginning of a solution of all
the questions, political, territorial,
and financial—has always been a
revelation on the part of Germany
of a willingness to do something.
The recent revolution in Germany
has been followed by no evidence
of a change in German spirit. Ger
man reconstruction waits upon Al
lied assistance, and Allied assistance
waits upon German recognition of
the duties laid upon her by her con
duct of the war.
We have passed beyond the time
when the world expects of Germany
a confession of guilt, a surrender o*
wor criminals, an oneti renunciation
of old policies. Apparently no such
transformation is • jr.evivable in
Germany. We have not leached, nor
are we likely ■( reach, « time when
the Europear nations who took up
arms against Germany will consent
that Germany shall escape scot free,
shall escape with less burdens than
the nations which she devastated.
Even more important than San
Remo, even more important than
any international gathering since the
armistice which terminated the fight
ing, will be this first gathering at
Spa—because there will be disclosed
at least some authentic hint of what
Germany means to do, of whether
Germany means to do anything. ^ A
policy of moderation, a course of
intelligent reasonableness, will pre
vail in the matter of Germany
henceforth provided only Germany
does not continue to arm her sever
est opponents and disarm all those
most anxious to aid in her rehabili
tation as a circumstance in the
restoration of order-.
Spa is the first real test. At San
Remo the Allied ranks were reor
dered. There was an agreement
upon an irreducible minimum which
must be demanded of Germany.
There was a substantial vindication
of the French contention that pay
ment in part must precede any modi
fication in the treaty of Versailles. .
There was an equal vindication of
the British contention that in the j
insurance of payment there should j
be no multiplication of causes for
future war.
THE IMMIGRATION PROBLEM.
In every period of high industrial
activity this country has been press
ed by a scarcity of man-power,
points out the Cincinnati Enquirer
‘This is brought home the mori
forcibly by present conditions. Acre
age of food-producing land has been
I cut by reason of the lack of farm
J hands, who, it seems, are being lured
j to industrial centers. This is eata
clysmal. And even the depopula
tion of farms has noit supplied the
j industries and trades with sufficient
help, all of which amply proves that
the stream of immigration, shut off
by the great war, again must be
opened up—with caution, of course.
There is just reason for hesitat
ing' to unbolt the gates, because of
the lawless spirit shown by work
ingmen of diverse nationalities. This
prompts circumspection, but most
not bar the relief of which this
country stands in sore need. There
is no insurmountable obstacle to
be overcome in relieving the diffi
culty. Experience has shown de
portation to be an effective means
in suppressing sentiments that mani
festly are hostile to the institutions
of the nation. All that is required
is to put a finer edge to this weapon.
The arms of the authorities should
be strengthened in deportation pro
ceedings.
The fact is that the sharp lessons
administered of late by the Govern
ment have had considerable educa
tional effect here and abroad. The
deportation of Emma Goldman and
her lack-moral companions was an
announcement to the red fraternity
throughout the world that America
no longer is the country “where ev
eryone can do as he pleases.” This
will keep away those who come only
to achieve vicious ends.
With such precautionary measures
and other regulations that may sug
gest themselves, immigration should
be permitted, in order to obtain the
man-power so sorely needed on the
farms and in the factories of Ameri
ca.
ALASKA'S CHANCE.
The shortage of paper throughout
the country has turned the eyes of
jthe country to Alaska, whose great
natural wealth has hardly been
touched. It is expected, says the
Seattle Post-Intelligencer, that when
use is made of the great forests in
the North, they will supply paper to
the country in perpetuity. The
growth of the trees suitable for
making pulp is so rapid that a new
crop may be expected every fifteen
or twenty years. The paper indus
try, while highly important, is only
one of the lines of endeavor which
will be open when opportunity is
given to develop fully Alaska’s re
sources.
