GERMANY'S SINISTER MIND PLOTTING RECRUDESCENCE THROUGH "GERMAN PEACE" Europe Has Growing Apprehension Jhat Teuton Diplomacy Will Win All Tricks in Great Game From Now On FORMER KAISER'S MINISTERS MANEUVER TO REOPEN QUESTIONS SOLVED AT PARIS Seeds of Discord Sown Among Allies, and Socialists of England and Italy Active in Their Propa gation of Soviet Doctrine By B. F. KOSPOTH Special StafT Correspondent of tho Evening Public Ledger In Switzerland Copyright, 1920, ly Pullio Ledger Co. Geneva, March 1G. There is in Europe today a growing feeling of apprehension that the Germans will from now on win all the tricks in the great game of diplomacy that began immediately after their ambiguous acceptance of the peace of Versailles. Already they have scored marked successes in controversies concerning cempensation for tho sinking of their fleet at Scapa Flow and the sur icndcr of their var criminals; and in tho infinitely more vital question of disarmament and the reduction of their standing army. Thus several important paragraphs .of the treaty have been virtually annulled within a few weeks of its ratification. It is natural that the Germans should feel elated and encouraged to pursue the destruction of the "devil's work of Versailles," as they call it; and in the opinion of all com petent observers their next move will undoubtedly be to gain admittance to the League of Nations and with its aid to seek to bring about a complete "revision" of the peace treaty in their favor. t It is bclieved'that th'e present situation in Europe rendors this develop ment inevitable and imminont, and by tho time America gets ready to ratify tho Versailles treaty there may not be much of the original docu ment left for her to indorse. Had any evidence been needed to verify the existence of sinister pur poses in the minds of Teutonic plotters against -tho now order, who. seek not only the wreck, of tho Versailles document, but tho restoration of iormcr conditions, it would be supplied by the events of tho last lew days The revolt of the militarist party that upset the Ebert government is merely symptomatic. 9 Treaty Terms Too Lenient The flagrant defects of tho treaty facilitate Germany's maneuver immensely. It is not that its terms arc too harsh or calculated to annihi late the German people. The fundamental error committed by the allied peacemakers is rather that they have imposed upon thp vanquished, after a fatally prolonged delay, term's theoretically pitiless, but practically far too lenient, becauso they are not executable. The consequenco is that Germany's astuto diplomats, and their appar ently incurable idealistic dupes, have been able to organizo an extremely effectivo world-wide propaganda of protest against tho "brutal imperial ism" of the victors, whilst the Germans themselves can show excellent, logically irrefutable reasons why they should not and cannot bo forced to fulfill their obligations. A situation of extreme gravity and rife with many hidden dangers has thus arisen in, Europe. Tho peace of Versailles seems doomed and deservedly doomed but thoro is reason to fear that if it goes to smash the peace of Europe will go with it. For its cancellation involves tho twofold menace of an aggressive recrudescenco of Germany's power and of deep dissensions and divisions among the allied nations themselves. It is impossible to emphasize too strongly the fact that the peace which tho Gorman statesmen arc today scheming to substitute for the treaty of Versailles is simply the old "German peace" into which tho kaiser's ministers sought to entrap the Allies during the last years of tho war. When they speak of "revising" tho treaty it is this German peace they have in mind, and not the fair-minded revision of certain unwise and impracticable stipulations whoso applications really endanger European i construction. Ilope to Revive Alsatian Problem I have received definite information from Berlin that Germany intends to bring about, so soon as oho is admitted to the League of Nations, not only tho annulment of the economic obligations she assumed by signing the' Versailles treaty, but also of most of its territorial terms. a Tho first stage of this maneuver will probably bo a plea for tho with drawal of tho allied troops of occupation from the Rhino district; if this proves successful, it will bo followed by a reopening of tho Polish and Danish questions, in the courso of which tho German diplomats aro detor minded oven to contest tho validity of tho plebiscites in Schleswig and Upper Silesia. Finally, I learn on tho best authority that great hopes aro actually entertained in Gcrmanythat it will eventually provo possible to revive1 also the Alsatian problem and to cheat France out of her victory by turning Alsace into an "independent" republic. To realize this "revision" of tho treaty, which virtually amounts to tho jestoration of the pro-war frontiers of the German empire, tho schemers n Berlin are prepared to employ alternately military threats, which the unreduced .fighting strength of their army unf brtunntely allows them to mako, and economic arguments which tho general "state of chaos and the inenaco of anarchy throughout Europe will inevitably render very por suasive. -,, See fatal Weakness of Allies ino Germans aro fully awaro of tho extraordinary strength of their Position and they nro resolved to exploit it to tho limit In tho first place, thoy know porfectly well that tho alliod govern ments, through thoir fatal weakness in dealing, with tho revolutionary labor Movement since tho armistice, havo Drought themselves into a situation Wiero thoy aro dependent on Germany's military strength for protection gainst bolshovism, and on hor economic prosperity for preservation from "nancial ruin, andthnt they consequently can insist neither on hor dis armament nor on tho payment of her war indemnities. Furthermore, Ger many can count, as innumerable recent events provo, in a steadily increas es degree on effective support from certain opposition leaders and parties i the allied countries.
