LLOYD GEORGE BRANDS FRANCE AS MENACE TO PEACE

BROKEN FAITH IS CHARGED TO GERMANS' FOES Versailles Treaty Clauses Violated, Assertion of Former Premier, SLAPS AT ARMS GROUP War Inevitable If Security is Up to Commission, He Declares. BY DAVID LLOYD GEORGE Copyright. 1930. by United Feature Syndicate Exclusive world rights held by United Feature Syndicate. All rights reserved.) LONDON, Nov. 22. (By Cable) If this security for world peace is left to the disarmament commission at Geneva, then another world war is inevitable. And when it breaks out, this egregious commission still will be discussing whether disarmament shall be attained by budgetary or by direct limitation or by combination of both; whether reserves shall be included in computation of forces and whether the recommendations made shall be extended to naval and air forces as well as to land armaments. If the nations mean business, there is only one way to reduce armaments by limiting numbers and equipment of forces that can be put into the field by each country in event of war. FYance has a peace establishment variously computed at around half a million men. but if war were declared by or against France she could put into the field, fully equipped, a force of several million men And the equipment of these millions would be incomparably more powerful than that of the German armies of 1914. Germany Not a Menace What is the relative position of France and Germany today in respect to armaments? I quote from Chancellor Bruening's paper; “Germany’s military security no longer ex'sts. France and her allies can put into the field at least ten million men. Germany has an army of 100,000 men. It is grotesque to r ay that the security, of France and Poland can be menaced. The claim of Germany at Geneva Is that the same conditions of disarmament be applied to Germany as to other countries and that there should be no exceptional conditions made sot the German republic. In the League of Nations there should only be equals.” This contention can not be cna.lenged fairly by any statesman who honestly looks into the facts and figures. It represents a glaring broach of the fundamental condition upon the strength of which Germany was induced to sign the Treaty of Versailles. Tire French group In Europe definitely has refused to carry out this obligation of honor. , . Britain and the United States alone have performed their share of the solemn undertaking then given. Italy has offered to reduce her forces to the lowest level attained by other powers. Russia also has offered to enter uuo a r imilar engagement. But France, Poland, Czechoslovakia. Yugoslavia and Rumania have declined to carry out the promise given by all the powers in the peace treaties. Millions of Reserves It. all turns on the questions of reserves and equipment. The militarist powers are adopting the same methods for building up the U-ength of their armies as were in force before the war. Every able'odied young man, when he attains ,c certain age, is called up for military service. After he has served bis time of training, he is passed into the reserve. These reserves can be summoned immediately to the colors up to the age of 45. Equipment available Is adequate to put into the field the whole of this immense force, including reserves. Number of men available for active service averages something between 7 and 10 per cent of the total population of the country. Thus France may have a peace establishment of 500,000 men. but her war strength would be at least 4.000.000. During the last ten years Germany has been forbidden to train her young men for war. The survivors of the great war still are a formidable array, but most of them have reached unmilitary age. and those left have neither rifles nor cannon. In a few years they will cease to count and Germany, if she stands alone, will only have 100.000 men trained to the use of arms for the defense of her frontiers, against millions of trained and equipped soldiers across her borders. No wonder she grows more and more restless and resentful. This is not what she agreed to at Versailles. She there was duped into impotence, and no public-spirited nation can tolerate such situation without seeking some means of escape.

They’ll travel light to Buenos Aires, for their tiny monoplane, powered by a two-cylinder motor, will be loaded almost to capacity when, as you see them here, Edward W. Wingerter Heft) and Joseph S.

of the disarmament commission, that to conform to the treaty of Versailles all nations which practice conscription should limit the numbers of men called up each year for training. This automatically would limit reserves. Six nations voted for the proposal. Thirteen against. Eighteen abstained. Among those voting for the German proposals were Russia and the Scandinavian countries. Among those abstaning were the United States and Great Britain. The attitude of both these countries is incomprehensibly feeble. Had they taken a strong line France and her coadjutors, would have been compelled to face their treaty obligations. Why a labor government should have shrunk from doing its obvious duty and insisting upon the only course that can lead to world peace, it is difficult for any one to understand who is not familiar with its record of running away when the time comes for putting its pledges and ideals into practice. Why the representative of the United States shrank from a decision is more than I can explain. It means the utter failure of the disarmament commission. New Lineup Develops The conscript armies of Europe are paid practically no wage and reserves are paid nothing, and thus a smaller budget produces an immensely larger force. France is relying on the disarmament of Germany and her own gigantic army for maintenance of the status quo. It is a short-sighted policy. It is significant that Russia has given consistent support to the German thesis on disarmament, and although the Italian representative did not vote for the Bernstorff proposal. the Italian duce has shown unmistakable sympathy for the German position, Popolo Dltalia, the powerful Fascist paper which always faithfully represents the duce's views, makes it clear that in the opinion of the Italian government, France blocks the road ta peace. Italy and Russia gradually are being driven by French policy into co-eperation with Germany. This regroupment of continental countries of Europe is fraught with danger to world peace. Meanwhile, Britain and United States are ineffective and impotent neutrals standing on the brink and looking down into a boiling chasm. One dav the ground may give way under their feet and precipitate them into the cauldron. CALLS SPECIAL VENIRE Judge Baltzell Summons Fifteen Talesmen for Police Trial.

THE INDIANAFOLIS TIMES

YOUNGER SET IS DEFENDED BY SCOUTS’ CHIEF Youth Better Behaved Than Married Circles, West Says. By United Press WASHINGTON. Nov. 22.—America's younger set probably is better behaved than the married set, in the opinion of Dr. James A. West, New York, chief executive of the Boy Scouts of American and one of the most travelled social workers of the country. “Modem youth is not hell-bent,” Dr. West said today. “They are better behaved than youths of a decade ago and are more earnestly and intelligently making use of the opportunities. “The jams youth gets into, their escapeds and their boldness are only relative and incidental,” said the Boy Scout executive, who is attending the White House conference on child welfare here. The conference closed today. Opposed to Censorship. “Nine times out of ten, the normal, health child spontaneously puts down as ‘piffle’ the trashy and shoddy side of life. “Hide-bound censorship is contrary to the American principle of freedom. Youth must learn to see life with its own eyes and, coupled with the counsel of wise parents, to accept the good and reject the bad.” Dr. West was chairman of the conference committee which investigated the part commercial amusements, such as radio and movies, play in the education and training of youth. “Commercial amusements are as influential a force for education as we have, not excepting the public school,” the report of his group said. Dance Hall Assailed “Probably 50 to 75 per cent of the patrons of amusements are children and youth. “Monotony of the machine age brings a desire for lively amusement for which it is estimated America spends $500,000,000 a year.” The committee found movies were the most patronized form of recreation, that radio, “anew and tremendous tool,” is an adjunct to civilization second only to the daily press, but that the average American buys only two books annually. The public dance hall was seen by the committee as one of the worst types of amusements. LECTURE PRESENTED • AT ATHLETIC CLUB Melody in “Cuckoo” Call Is Shown by Author and Musician. Making melodies out of "cuckoo” calls was demonstrated Friday night to members of the Indianapolis Athletic Club when a lecture was given at the club by Sigmund Spaeth, author and musician.

He used the piano to show modern musical methods. HELD FOR U. S. JURY Youth Placed Under Bond on Charge of Motor Theft. Albert Welling, 20. was held to the federal grand jury Friday by United States Commissioner John W. Kern under $3,000 bond on charges of motor theft.

NO BULL FIGHT, IS EDICT AFTER 10,000 PROTEST Brooklyn Matador Banned in Exhibition to Put Newark on Map. By United Press NEWARK. N. J., Nov. 22.—The sporting spirit that made Spain famous, and American animal lovers angry, is not yet dead. When the bull fight that was to have put Newark on the map was banned on Friday, Dave Mackay warned he has not abandoned the plan. Mackay, who had announced Sidney Franklin, Brooklyn's leading matador, would demonstrate to Newark and the nation just how it is done in Seville. Protests by 10,000 But after 10,000 outraged Americans, including Minnie Maddern Fiske, had written protests to Mayor Jerome T. Congleton. the mayor and William H. Egan, director of public safety, banned the spectacle on the following counts: The New Jersey blue laws would forbid it. Animal baiting is a statutory crime. The bull might get hurt. Someone suggested that Franklin might get hurt too, but that cut no ice. Compromise Proposed Mackay has suggested the following compromise. The exhibition would be shifted to some other day than Sunday, Nov. 30. The official designation would be changed from “bullfight” to “an exhibition of skill, courage, speed, grace and dexterity of a matador with a bull.” The promoter offered toa seek injunctions and carry the case all the way to the supreme court, if necessary’, rather than let the country get the idea that Dave McKay would take a licking lying down. According to the last census, there are 1,485,063 Swedes in the United States.
