THE AUGUSTA HERALD
Germany’s Future Peace
Conference Big Puzzle
Delegates Wrestle With Probl em of Making Her Helpless and
Solvent at Same Time.
Pari*.—lf you have ever tried that old
trick of patting yourself on top of the
head with one hand and rubbing your
t tornach with the other, you can appre
ciate the mental state of what will be
known In history as the Pei.ce Confer
ence of Paris. f
Some people can do this trick without
any trouble. Others have difficulty. The
Peace Conference classes among the
“others".
Jn other words, the Conference of
Paris, for four months tried patting itself
on the head for ideas of Just how to reap
the fruits of victory, and rubbing its
stomach In a fond sub-conscious belief
that these fruits could be realized on a
basis of pre-war conditions throughout
the world. Every once In a while, the
hand rubbing the stomach realised trial
jim Hub-conscious control was wrong.
Then the hand patting the head lost step,
and the patting and rubbing had to start
all over again
Not one of the statesmen, diplomats,
financial, or economic experts Involved in
the Peace negotiations believes the world
is ever going hack to the well-known
status quo ante" The statesmen, diplo
mats and financial and economic experts
realize this, nut few of them like to ad
mit it. When they have to admit it, is
when you get the fluttering of the hand
rubbing the stomach.
Fixing up th*- military and navil terms
to be Imposed on Germany In the peace
treaty was easy compared to other prob
lem*.
Rut when It came to reparations—
there’s where the rubbing became diffi
cult.
In the first place discussion of repara
tion meant touching the pocketbook of
all of the big nations in the Conference,
particularly France and England. And
the peace sessions have demonstrated
that nations are Just like human beings.
They’ll get along as chummy like as
sorority sisters until one brings up some
thing that affects the others' pocket
books. whereupon all Blart guarding their
bon-bona.
Strains as it may seem for a confer
<nee called to make peace with Germany,
tids guarding of one’s own bon-bons has
been the lir*t consideration In the repar
ations question*. The second has been
Ge many. Considering Germany has
worked in a complete circle constantly
Mince the start of the conference, and as
the question of Germany’s future status
has considerable to do with everybody’s
l.on-bons, they have gone round and
’round the circle counties* times.
The jumping off place v a s the state
ment that Germany should pav the full
ost of the war. It didn’t take long, as
time in peace conference is figured, to
show that was impossible. But since
that was disposed or, the circle has gone
like this: Oermany must, pay to the lim

1500.000.000 gold on hand. Her trade was

credits. Therefore she is able to pay

umoty-ump billions of dollars. The hand
rubbing the stomach is having great go
ing. as the first quarter of the circle is
complete.
Second quarter: Germany must not be
permitted to take advantage of the
stricken condition of France. It must be
remembered that her factories are in
tact while the great manufact’ ne area
of northern France is in ruin. There
fore France must be protected The Ger
mans must not be permitted to start
their factories, while France in trying to
repair the damage wantonly done here.
. Third quarter: Starting to consider
just how the desired ends can be reach
ed. It's found that Germany has no raw’
materials to speak of, her factories are
not producing, so all’s well. But there's
—to put it mildly—“unrest”. Thousands
are unemployed. Bolshevism is gaining
strength.
Fourth quarter: Experts testify that
the unrest in Germany is due to lack of.
food and employment. Men can’t get
employment, because factories are clos
ed. because there are no raw materials.
bec£pse Germany has been blockaded
and must remain blockaded because
France must be protected, because Ger
many must not have a commercial ad
vantage. because 'she destroyed the
French factories, because that is exactly
what she had In mind. Therefore, the
Allies must consider their own situation.
If food and raw materials are not admit

TAX HUN AMUSEMENTS
Berlin.—German pleasure seekers will
be called upon to pay a considerable part
of the cost of the war through a special
amusement tax which will form an im
portant part of the government’s new
financial policy. The tax will apply to
admissions to theatres, concerts, the mo
vies and dances. Starting at ten per
cent on the cheaper tickets It rises to
thirty per cent on the price of better
seats.
The passion for amusement after long
vears of war is so great that the tax
is not expected to discourage attendance
| at theatres.
! Gambling is in great favor in Germany
i just now. and the playing card tax which
j in ordinary times would be considered
prohibitive is expected to have practically
no effect on sales of cards.
