Shall i NEW, GREAT FORCES AT WORK Demand for Now Order of Things It Univereal and Reactlonarleo Merely 8well the Rising Tide of Discontent. Article IV. j 1 By FRANK COMERFORD. The most obvious thing In Europe Is the changed attitude of the peopled and yet there are many, particularly in the conservative, employing class, who refuse to aee. There are none so blind as these.' While they close their eyes and minds to the obvious, the change goes on. It Is not Idle rhetoric to say that new great forces are at work. Of course you cannot aee the forces any more than you can see the grass growing, but you can see the effects. Ton can measure the character of the forces. " Everywhere I found people talking about a new Order, Men separated by hundreds of miles are thinking and talking the same Ideas. It startled me to hear the same Ideas up in the Balkans that I had heard in France and England, did not meet any one who was abla to give me a clear, complete meaning of the phrase, but It la an the Up of everyone. It baa a meaning, and time erill produce a plan. The people are forward looking they are thinking, waiting for something to t happen. They have faith that It will happen and that It will bring great good to the human race. Every A ne earn confident that soma great most and will coma eut of the siege of suffering through which they have passed. If they, were not com-peasati- so ea meat, ah nans, so determined gbout It I should para Interpreted their enthusiasm as fantasy. - A meaningless minority of reactionaries scorn and scoff at all talk of a new Order. These are the backward-lookin- g men of big business, the standpatter la politics. They are out of touch with the times; they think the real world la the little circle in which they live. They are the barnacles on big business. They smugly set down all talk of change aa bolshevism. Fortunately the real leaders of business are breaking away from this point of view. Progressive, human and open minded, they see and know that unrest Is a problem and that It must be solved. They are paying heed to the complaints of the workers. They admit that there is justice back of the complaints. Instead of arguing coercion, they are talking concession.. They know a change has come, they Want to meet It New Order Must Come. new Order will come. The one question that Is bothering the minds of men who are awake to the chunge Is, wiiljt come through revolution or, tJuough evolution. The greatest friend of revolution Is the stubborn employer who refuses to see the change, accepts things as they are, and insists upon the use of force as the only cure A for unrest -- V I 4 v with him, either metal or paper money. franca, and on that day you could buy almost hlna francs for an American dollar. . Can France pay? The figures prove France Insolvent Ber officials and her men of prominence say she cannot pay. Ber war debt la enormous. ', Poverty on Every Side. f A Is as as France. Italy bankrupt forced loan temporarily held the lira from losing all of its value. Her war debt threatens the throne. In the new Balkan countries we find no gold reserve, little but poverty. In Czecho-Slovnthe government closed the borders for ten days, commanded the people to bring their money to the banks where stamps were put on the bills. When they brought their money they were given 60 per cent of It back and receipts for the balance. In this way the government cot down the volume of paper money 50 per cent Even after this was done in the city of Prague I bought kronen for less titan two cents a piece. ' In Poland every kind and species of paper money la in circulation. Her frontiers have not been fixed by the peace table, and the profiteers In money smuggling have dumped the worthless paper of Europe iato Poland. In October I was in Warsaw and my recollection la that the mark was worth about two cents in American money. Poland has no metal money. 8he hasnt a gold reserve. Her struggle to get credit to keep her people from dying by the millions from hunger and cold is pitiful. Austria 1s penniless, proverty-strick-eVienna la a city of ghosts, listless, peplesa, human beings. They Their drag their feet after them. heads are bent between their shoucent lder. .The kronen was worth when I was there in September, and even at that price there was practically nothing to buy. Austria la her extremity, her people starving, petitioned the peace table fer the privilege ef selling her art treasure sad The plea waa to axchange fer breed and ccaL Necessity prompted the plea. The peace table refused the penalasiea, holding that these thinge ef value might he toe only collateral eat ef which the allies could collect the Indemnity. Europes., debt la - her crews of toons, as her dead la her cross. Unrest la her Calvary. A new Order It In excess of a thousand STRICKEN WORLD I A, r Money is a gross thing when compared with human life. To mention Europes financial losses In the same breath with her dead and wounded, seems sordid, but It is an everyday world and In It money has Its logical place. Since the war some people are thinking that money has had too important a place In the world. It has been charged with pushing man out t Ids place, but bills must be paid and Europe needs money. The war cost billions and, billions, of .dollars. . Millions of 'men had to be clad and Bhod, billions and billions of cartridges and shells, rifles, cannons, airplanes, ships, were made. Europe owes the money. Bow will she pay It; where will she get It? It la a question that even the wisest and most optimistic of men In Some Europe hesitate to answer. wonder, Is there an answer? Europe has borrowed until her Interest charge today Is almost Walarge as her' whole cost of governmental administration was a few years ago. 1 heard Lloyd George say that England faced a yearly Interest charge of three hundred million pounds. Another offl-dtold me that this interest charge that England must pay each year Is nearly one hundred million pounds a year larger than the cost of admlnla-tratiowas at the time of the Boer war. Only the other day her Interest was due on some loans from the United States and she was forced to default, and onr government charged the Interest to the principal and passed the day of payment on. In the meantime the pound.is going, down, in When I was on the Continent it had reached $4.14. Today it Is under $3.87, and steadily going down.
