I 11-. is becoming increasingly obvious {that if the Allies do not proceed with greater haste towards 41.” definite and final‘ basis of pernianent peace with Germany a conflagration already rag-vi biug may assume proportions that svill linvolve the IDES" of much Allied life land money in its suppression. The ground on both sides is improving‘ and now seems to present a satisfactory seed-bed for sowing the germs of peace, industry and a gamer outlook of people generally.’ Bolshevism in Gerniairy has largely disappeared, and militarism is confined to a section ‘of the old junker school. There will yet arise struggles of very limited potency in, perhaps, more than one of the many factions into which the German people are divided, but the nnmistakeable tendency of .the Empire as a whole is towards es I‘a.v.ou~rable an arrangement {is can be made with the Allies at the earliest possible moment. A basis satisfactory to both sides has apparently just about been reached, and the prospects are that reparations and indemnities will be agreed upon and definitely fixed to come into operation at the earliest opportunity. The authentic statement .i'.rom Washington that President Wilson will issue a. call for a meeting of the Assembly of the ‘League of Nations for the 15th November testifies to the coming settlement of terms with Germany, for however guilty the German people may be of disturbing the World’s peace 'it is apparent that the \vorld’s peace cannot be restored-‘by leaving Germany -out of iconsideratilon. It has been impressed upon the whole world ‘that no great nation can be spared from the economic whole without so [disturbing economic machinery as to ‘ render it ineffectual in maintaining an J essential supply of the world"s needs. Therefore, Whatever feeling there may l still, remain against 't.rading_ relation- ‘ ship with Germany it must be placed aside in the greater interests of world ‘peace and reconstructed world industry. Thereis a mhre reasonable spirit pervading all Germany, and; though Hindenburg and a few other-s are still intermittently belching fire, the people are exhibiting a desire to end war in lull its aspects and get down to real riches producing Workf Reports.
