"If you have a better man for the job than I am, bring him out,"' declared Chancellor Stresemann, in a last-hour defense, of his administration before he resigned, and Berlin press dispatches relate that he blamed' France for the tragic doom of Germany, over whom hovers the spectre of Communistic revolt. But this condition rejoices the Russian Communists, according to Moscow informants, who cite them as saying that "the German situation is developing as we expected. Marxist principles we rely on to determine the course of events along a certain line, given certain circumstances. Therefore, we have no reason to doubt the final result of events, namely, the workers' revolution." These Russian Communists agree that America and England would like to help Germany, but say that "while the French maintain their present attitude, this is impossible," and "for the French to agree to such a change in policy as to make American and English aid for Germany feasible involves capitulation on the part of the French, which we are convinced they will not accept." Dr. Stresemann alleged that:
"Nobody will deny that the development of internal German conditions is driving toward radical tendencies. Communism in Germany derives its strongest support from the misery breaking in on us, and the radicalism of the extreme Right builds its support under the national opposition we are now experiencing from the attitude of France.
The German people and the rest of the world have not been deceived as to the degree of Germany's misery, he also declared, and "for this reason we appealed to the charitable help of the world." He extended "warm thanks to the Scandinavian countries, to the United States, to many South American Countries, and particularly to German-Americans," but he said, also that— "As against various press reports, I must go on record that officially only one credit offer by foreign financiers has been made to the Reich's Government, which offer, transmitted . through the Chairman of the Reich Landowners' Association, placed at least 1,-000,000,000 marks in goods and credit at our disposal.
"It is correct that this offer contains a conditional clause— and not at the suggestion of the Reich's Government, either—that this credit would only be given to the present Government.
The question of the real value of money and the maintenance of the parity of the rentenmark is one of the main tasks of the Government, necessitating the balancing and placing of the budget on a real value money basis."
A French close-up of the mental state of the Germans is afforded by Marcel Ra'y in the Paris Europe Nouvelle, who tells us that —
"The city people who are hungry have a mind which is the product of hunger, mute rage and of fear. The citizens who have fear in their mind. Those who have too much to eat are also full of fear, which occasionally becomes panic. Then they begin hurriedly to load their limousines with packages, bundles of shares and stocks as well as with jewel-boxes, and they dart toward the Polish or the Danish frontier, or, perhaps, because the frontiers are guarded, they take refuge in some hotel palace, where their limousines stand ready to flee at the first alarm.
"Fear, hunger, rancor without any precise object on which to fix it, prostration, apathy— all these combine to form the soul of the great cities. Far away in the placid stretch of pine forests and potato-fields are the villages in which the hostile, well-fed faces of the peasants look forth from behind their machine-guns. There are at least 30,000,000 of them
who do not mix in politics, but are resolved to protect their possessions."
Things being as they are in Germany, this writer continues, it is not difficult to answer three questions that Frenchmen who try to understand Germany are putting to themselves, according to their individual temperament and opinions. These questions are outreached by the facts in Germany, because the matter of a sacred union against foreigners, the Separatist movements, and finally the uprising of the masses toward revolution—all these things are of the past in that they presuppose a strength, a faith, and a cohesion that no more exists. To examine closer into the matter, we are asked to realize that—
"In the general prostration there is nothing so utterly prostrated as patriotism. The great industrials, finaniers, profiteers, of all sorts, these drainers of-German wealth toward foreign banks, these saboteurs of the money and the tax systems, have set an example that every one has followed. Let us not be deceived by Nationalist clamor or by the tone of the newspapers. Nationalism is a mask covering the interests of dynasties, the interests of caste, the interests of material wealth. The hatred for France has never been more general or more bitter than in recent months. It flares up in Socialist and Communist circles as well as in the circles of the parties of the Right. But for the moment it is neither reasoned, concerted, nor active. What it lacks is faith and knowledge of an ultimate purpose. The Germans are accomplices of their Governments, as the poisoned members of a body are accomplices of the brain which chose the poison and of the stomach which digests it."
This French informant then tells us that Separatism is supposed to mean a rejection of the Reich, a choice of a little Fatherland, a trust in a more modest but better future, a willingness to accept partial rather than complete dissolution. This is a misconception, we are told ,even about Bavaria, where Separatism is only a tactical move made to obtain supremacy in the Reich. What is still more improbable in Germany, is a popular revolution and the conquest of power by the working masses. Political Communism, he main-
