...ratification. "Liberty Law." Because the Treaty of Versailles postulates Germany's sole War guilt and then lays upon her the burden of Reparations, some hot-headed Germans hug the fallacy that if the Fatherland would only repudiate her guilt she could then impress the Allies with the logic of refusing to pay Reparations for a crime which Germany did not commit. Such hotheads are bristling Dr. Hugenberg and his reactionary Stahlhelm ("Steel Helmet League"). With the death three weeks ago of Foreign Minister Gustav Stresemann, a statesman who always preached conciliation with Germany's enemies, the Hugenbergians pulled...
...world has very few. "An atheist," he boomed, "is much more difficult to emancipate than any one else because he is, above all people, the narrowest and most completely captive." But Mr. Wells is not even an atheist, explained Mr. Chesterton. He is merely antiChristian, which requires less logic, courage or consistency than being an atheist.

...obstreperous Left Unionist Bloc, was last week the first anti-ratifica-tionist to cross a potent sword with M. Briand as the Foreign Minister assumed the Government's defense. With fire and slash M. Franklin-Bouillion sought to destroy by an emotional onslaught the Government's chief logical reason why France must ratify her debt agreement not later than Aug. 1 next. On that date, as M. Poin-caré had incessantly reminded the Chamber, there would fall due the debt of $400,000,000 owed by France for War stocks purchased from the U. S. after...
