' THE having (Samuel Adams, Director General, UrHe, Sams' Voters, Washington, 1). C; ; , An Europe is torn ter the French occupation Ruhr. It bids fair to upset the coalition between Great jprita n and France. Though severely denounced as unjustifi-abl- e by pacifists and others, it is upheld as the. only possible course France could take, by some students of ..the European ' situation. , YES , X, It is the only way to compd Germany to pay reparations. Germany had defaulted- in payment of the just reparations which a' reparations commission decided she must pay to France. France repeatedly tried to yet Germany to make payments .id compliance w th the findings of the reparations commission, and as a last resort occupied part of the linhr valley. v vm v: 2. It is the only way to make England take a fair view the European situation. England before the war, had acquired by d of the conquest, force of arms and diplomacy about habitable area of the world, England got out of the war best of all the European nations involved in" It. She was not invaded, and acquired through secret treaties and occupation German colonies worth abou as much as her total financial outlay for the war. England does not want France to collect reparations frohl Germany, because this would mean that Germany , would have to export manufactured goods and so take away the world markets from Great Britain. 3. It is best way to prevent wars. If nations which start wars, as Germany is understood to have done, can escape responsibility for their action,- wars will continue. It is a fundamental .principle of ethics and of nternational relations that the ag-- ; gressor must pay some penalty. , Germany started out to win by fiscal measures, such as the depreciation of the mark, a war which she lost physically, and refused to pay reparations. Had , OIL COMPANY land-grabbi- - Smooth, many should pay were punitive and not compensatory. The very fact that the League of Nations has not raised a finger effective; ly to help France collect reparations .from Germany shows it regards France's claim for reparations unjustified.' 2. France .had no moral right to reparations. France got e back her full money costs of the war in securing and German colonies. These were adequate compensation for her financial losses. She was not justified in occupying the Ruhr," because she is not justified in insisting upon payment of the reparations. , i ' One 3. purpose of the French occupation of the. Ruhr is' to cripple England. France is bitterly jealous of England and that Englands and her own foreign polieies in. the, Near East and throughout the world are in conflict. By her effort to compel Germany to pay reparations through occupying the Ruhr, France definitely proposes to cripple England and to put her out erf the running as France's great competitor. ; 4.
