LLOYD GEORGE DEFENDS JEWS IN ZION MOVE British Statesman Scores Anti-Semetic Bigotry as Fostering Racial Hatred —Declares Hebrews Only Peo- £ pie Who Can Save Palestine, By DAVID LLOYD GEORGE, 0. M., M. P. Former British Prime Minister. Copyright, 1923, by United Feature Syndicate. LONDON, July 14.—0f all the bigotries that savage the human temper there is none so stupid as the anti-semetic. It has no basis in reason—it is not rooted in faith —it aspires to no Ideal—it is just one of those dank and unwholesome weeds that grow in the morass of racial hatred. How utterly devoid of reason it is may be gathered from the fact it is almost confined to nations who worship the Jewish prophets and apostles and revere national literature of the Hebrews as the only inspired message delivered by the Deity to mankind, and whose only hope of salvation rests on the precepts and promises of the great teachers of Judaism. Still, in sight of these fanatics, Jews of today can do nothing right. If they are rich they are birds of prey. If they are poor they are vermin. If they are in favor of a war, it is because they want to exploit the bloody feuds of Gentiles to their own profit. If they are anxious for peace they are either inBtinctive cowards or traitors. If they give generously—and ttere are no more liberal givers than Jews—they are doing it for some selfish purpose of their, own. If they don’t give—then, what would one expect of a Jew? Greed Held Responsible. If labor is oppressed by great capital, the greed of the Jew is held responsible. If labor revolts against capital—as it did in Russia—the Jew is blamed. If he lieves in a strang land he must persecuted. If he wants to go back to his ovjj he must be (Prevented.

Jew baiters are generally of the type that found good reasons for evading military service when their own country was in danger. Palestine Has Deteriorated The latest exhibition of this wretched indulgence is the agitation against settling poor Jews in the land their fathers made famous. Palestine under Jewish rule once maintained a population of Under the blighting rule of the Turk it barely supported a population of 70,000.

'Lion of Argonne’ Tells Delegates to Convention of Rainbow Division Association That Teutons / Must Pay Debts, GENERAL LIKENS INVASION OF RHINELAND TO 1871 „ \ v 'Germany of Today Is the Germany of Old,’ French Hero Declares —‘Spirit of Old Regime Still Survives,’ He Says, France will stay in the Ruhr until Germany pays her war debt, Gen. Henri Gouraud of France, termed the “Lion of Argonne,” told the delegates to the fifth annual Rainbow Division Veterans’ Association at the Palace Theater today“We are now in the Ruhr under the same conditions as were the Germans in 1871, when they occupied a part of France. Just as they did not evacuate French territory until we had paid the five millards, so will France and Belgium stay in the Ruhr until Germany pays her debt.” The veterans received Gouraud’s speech with wild acclaim, even though it came to them .through an interpreter.

Germany today is the Germany of old, Gouraud said. It is called a republic, but the spirit and even the name of the old monarchy survives, he said. Franco fought the World War tc make Germany Incapable of committing new aggressions and to exact from her payment for damage she purposely inflicted on France, he declared.* This brought up the question as to the ability of Germany to start another war, and whether she has given up the Idea of doing so, he •aid. Germany Still Strong. In answer to this question he said: "Today Germany has available over 7,000,000 reservists who have seen active service. She has 100,000 regular soldiers as authorized by the treaty of Versailles, and 150,000 others besides. Every one who goes to Germany reports that she is looking for revenge. Her military leaders, despite their already having led their country to defeat, have not lost their prestige: and the same group which formerly backed up the pan-German-ist policy of the Kaiser encourages the German government to resist. Veteran leagues are being formed, and calls to arms are being posted. A few days ago I was talking with a Czechoslovak captain who had just cwfVie through Germany, and told me he had seen inscr.pt.ons read.ng something like this In many railroad carriages. 'Only another war can save us; what aren't we going to do to the French In the next war?’ ’’ Germans now maintain they were not beaten in the war, he said. "Asa matter of fact, they signed the armisiice only when they had to in order to' escape a capitulation which would have been greater than anything the world had ever known. It was then that, being completely victorious after a most unjustified and savage aggression, we exacted only a treaty of peace baaed on moderation, justice, and reparation, the like of which the world had never seen; there was neither war indemnity nor loss of territory, Alsace and Lorraine were to be returned to France, and the war reparations were limited to damage to civil property. "We French knew another kind of peace in 1871, when we were obliged two lose two of our cherished provinces and to pay 5 milliards war Indemnity, which, by the way, was not for reparation. “The contrast Is striking between that which happened in France after 1871 and in Germany after 1919. France Paid "In France, in 1871, the government cut down its expenses, levied new taxes, and raised loans, and thus was able to pay off its war debt a year before the expiration of the time allowed. "In Germany, in 1919, the government deliberately Increased its expenses, refused to levy the necessary taxes, lowered the value of the mark, caused Its capital and money to be hidden away and then argued that poverty prevented her paying. "While Germany was thus ruining her financial condltlpn, did France insist on getting that which was due her? No! She herself started to repair the damage Germany had done, thus making, in a way, an advance of money to Germany; an act especially to be commended a-s by so doing she got herself still further Into debt. "Finally, hep taxes amounted to 45 gold dollars per person, while in Germany they amounted to only 13 dollars. "Was she able to continue any longer attending conferences at which there was no result? "France and Belgium decided not, and by virtue of one of the articles in the Treaty of Versailles, they decided to seize a hostage, the valley of the Ruhr. • Troops Were Orderly "I cannot but praise the perfect discipline of the French and Belgium troops who were under the command of the brilliant and kind man, my
