Morgerthau Says Germans Are
Bluffing And French Position

B-, MILTON BRONNER
LONDON, Sept. 19.—Henry Mor
ganthau, former American ambassa
dor to Turkey, believes Germany is
deliberately procrastinating in repa
ration payments and that her finan
cial : illness” is a diplomatic fraud.
That is his conclusion alter anoth
er long European tour of study.
And this'is his forecast:
•'France is right. She has made
up her mind Germany can and must
pay iust reparations. And if nec
essary French drums will beat,
French flags will fly, and French
troops will march into Berlin!’
Morg-nthau acquits France of
militarism, and convrcts Germany of
dawdling.
“Make no mistake about it—the
Germans will pay,” L- says. “They

Diplomatic Illness.
“Just as prominent people some
times have a diplomatic illness when
they don t want to receive unwel
come visitors, so Germany is having
a diplomatic .llness with intention to
deceive.
“The Germans are not good sports.
Having aimed to saddle their idea
of government upon the world, and
having been prepared to make ruth
less exactions if they won, they arc
now whining and crying because
'hey have been soundly beaten.
“Give them a little more time and
they will at last learn that th.-?
French are in earnest. Foch is pre-
I pared to see to it that the demand
! Poincare makes in the name of the
| French nation shall be fulfilled.”
I Morgenthan thinks the real re
building of Europe cannot begin un
til the Germans settle down to mak
ing payments. And he says this
cannot be acoemplished in a hurry.
No Magic Formula
“Peace, work and thrift are th.-?
only things that will heln Europe,”
he says. “You can’t find any magic
formula to repair the damage of
1 war, and vou can’t build on the old
j foundations.

nation -.which seems to have taken
the war lesson to heart. She is re

ATLANTA, Sept. 19.—“G0 to
South Georgia.’’
This is the slogan that is now be
ing heard throughout Georgia and
neighboring states. It has been
sounded in connection with a farm
ers ’excursion scheduled to be run
by the Atlanta, Birmingham & At
lantic railroad on September 26th.
Tillers of the soil, according to re
ports received here, are getting ready
for a big time. They want to see
what has been called the Great Un
developed Level Farming El Dorado
and see with their own eyes how oth
ers grow crops to harvest each month.
Agriculturists—and many experts
have planned to go—intend to make
i their vacation trip one of pleasure
and profit.
In practically every town along the
. | line of the Atlanta, Birmingham and

has largely disbanded her armed
. force; she is taxing her people h?avi
i ly so she can pay as she goes; she !
I is not grinding out tons of paper i
■ money.”
France is on a different plane— ;
completely isolated—in Morgen-
than s opinon. But he s&ys France ;
cannot be accused of militarism
when the 50-year-old fear of Ger- '
i man power is considered.
France Wants Security.
‘l est alone, France has filter- |
j mined that her safety shall not again I
i be put in jeopardy,” he added. “She
; wants security for at least 100 years,
j She wants the santtity of contracts j
I upheld, a nd that is what the Treaty |
of Versailles is—a contract to do
certain things.
“France wants the judgment of
Versailles enforced. She would pre
j for to bring this about in concert :
with her allies, but if necessary she j
! will do it alone. Therefore, at pres- |
! ont she cannot and will nojt disband
her efficient army and her wonder
i j frtl general staff. Bv keeping these
■ i intact ?s4ie insures the payment of
' what is her due.”

Examples of Successful Results
Perhaps one of the most profitable
new crops which has been introduced
into Georgia in the last decade is
bright tobacco. Snappy Smith, Coffee

1,156 pounds of tobacco per acre,
i which sold for gross, $437.50, and
