GERMANY'S BURDENS
What Mr. Snowden Achieved At The Hague
}
FURTHER SACRIFICES
The United States Of Europe In Prospect
[By William Marx] After extraordinarily difficult and shifting negotiations lasting for weeks, the Hague conference finally came to an end. Or, better expressed, the first part of the conference is ended; the second will begin as soon as the various commissions shall have finished their work. Here, however, only matters of comparatively subordinate importance remain to be dealt with, in the main the provisions for putting the conference's decisions into effect; the great political questions were disposed of on August 30 by the signing of the final protocol by the leaders of the delegations.
The outcome of the conference was for a long time uncertain. The situation took on a different spert almost every day, First
no minister and then another threatened to return home. It was impossible, at least for the outside observer, to predict the outcome of the conference with certainty. What will be the re- ult of the agreement arrived at in the eleventh hour? What will be the verdict of the future con- cerning it?
result of Snowden'a onslaught was that "the burden was shifted on to Germany's shoulders." Ho con- tinues:
"This is about the antithesis of what we in Paris, for economic reasons, endeavoured to do on the whole. I doubt the efficacy of Snowden's course on economic grounds. I am not enough of a politician to know whether it is good politics to say this."
the liberation of the occupied dis- tricts would now be soon a reality. The important result of the Hague conference will be and remain for all time the fact that the goad is finally withdrawn from the flesh of the German nation, that the wound is finally healed that still remained open and burning ten years after the conclusion of peace.; The Curse of Narrow-Mindedness
Where did it ever happen before that, so many years after the con- clusion of peace, and despite the peace down to the last detall, so fullling of the conditions of that

Everything has been done to vex the inhabitants of the occupied dis- tricts and constantly to stir them up against the foreign oppressors.
It was realised that the Rhine- land Commission, stationed la Coblenz, with a personnel of about 200, would have to be given up as aoon as the occupation came to end. Hence the attempt was made to But what was it that moved the establish for the demilitarized zone German delegates, and rightly, so, another commission, which would The conference was much rich-to sign the final protocol despite have again brought unrest and or in exciting Incidents than many all these grave misgivings?

What did he care about the agreement of the experts that the Young Plan must be regarded as a whole and could not be altered? Who among the participants dared to remind him of it? He declared with moving emphasis that he would accept nothing from Ger- many nor from the smaller states as well. In his talk in the radio on September 5 he declared that he bad remained faithful to this promise.
The Vanishing of Dream
It is a pity that Germany will nevertheless be compelled by the now burdens she will have to bear to realise that all this was no- thing but a beautiful dream of Snowden's. Those pessimists have been justified who declared imme- diately following Snowden's im- pulsive outburst that this COD- flict, which seemed to have arisen between England and France. would in the last analysis he fought out at Germany's expense. For that was indeed what hap- pened. The German representa- tives were obliged to increase by 30 to 40 millions yearly for a number of years the amount of the unprotected annuity, that is, the portion for which no mora- torium can be granted. In addi- lion to this they had to surrender their part of the 300,000 marks, remaining from the Dawes pay- ments; 30,000,000 had to be paid by Germany for the costs of oc- cupation, and, finally, the various states involved mutually abandon- ed any claim for damages arising from the occupation. All these
are, beyond any doubt, new and oppressive burdens. It is not dis-. puted that the German delegates made heavy and grievous sacri- Rees to reach their always stead fastly cherished aim of bringing about permanent pence.

The experts in Paris as well as the politicians at The Hague. in fixing the amounts to be paid, made the mis- take of basing these on the de- mands of the creditors instead of on the debtor's ability to pay. This will avenge itself bitterly. in the future on all participants.

The reign of cricket towers over all other local news, owing to the beginning of the series of Interport cricket matches between Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Malaya. In the first match, Malaya v. Shanghai, the former had the advantage of play on the first day, but on the second it was impossible to resume owing to heavy showers of rain. How- ever, the one day's play is fersely described in this issue of the Overland China Mail.
Other sporting fixtures of interest were the visit of the French tennis stars and the closing of the lawn bowls season at the Taikoo Recreation Club and the Craigengower Cricket Club.
Coming to local events of interest, pride of place must he given to the sixtieth birthday celebrations at the Diocesan Boys' School, at which stirring speeches were made by His Excellency the Governor and others. His Excellency also delivered an interesting lecture to the English Associa- tion during this week.
China, as usual, has loomed lange in the cable news, the movements of the Ironsides and of the "rebels" in the North against the Central Government being reported in detail. There has likewise been more activity on the Russo-Chinese border.
