PRESS VIEWS. \ _____ GERMAN ATTITUDE STAGEMANAGED. Received May 13, 10.30 p.m. ■" London, May 8. The Daily Mail, commenting on the Peace Treaty, says much depends on the full wording. There are too many "ifs" and "bnts," of which the Huns are sure to make the fullest use. There is a danger of'the occupation of the Rhine region ceasing before Germany has completed payment. Paper prohibition is not sufficient, but the League of Nations, and, above all, the close union of Britain, Prance, and America, will be the real security for enforcing the treaty. The Daily Chronicle says the drastic arrangements for disarming Germany give a fair chance for a general voluntary disarmament, but it 'is problematical what security would remain after the evacuation of the Rhine. The Daily News regards the treaty as the severest sentence ever imposed on a great nation. It is rightly so, but justice and expediency demand that Germany should not be denied the means of recovering her self-respect and. legitimate prosperity. We cannot contemplate without alarm a ruined Germany Nobody can complain at the destruction of Prussianism, but it should not be limitled to Germany. Militarism is an enemy everywhere. Several newspapers point out that behind the .German'' protestations and threat* that they will not sign the treaty there is much evidence that the whole German ' attitude has been stagemanaged.—Aus. NX Cable Assoc
