(HE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, SEFTEMBER 19, 1928 a CAGE NINE SERIES OF EVENTS SHOW FRAILTY OF PEACE IN EUROPE: Signing of Kellogg Treaty Followed by Developments Showing Unrest the series of evemts demonstrated with such irrefutable force the piti- ful frailty of Europe's armistice. The signing of the Briand-Kellogg Ireaty, instead of perceptibly swell- ing the old world's small measure f peace, has been followed by de- elopments harshly throwing in bold relief the stark fact that Eur- ope has no peace, After 10 years--after Versailles, the birth of the League of Nations, jLocario and the pact of Paris--it fas been difficult, indeed, this past week, to see that any great pro- gress away fromr international jeal- voice of Poincare," charging that Germany is still armed. In Berlin the Nationalist press and a large section of the Moderates recipro- cally vent their wrath upon the French minister for "destroying the olive tree of Locrano." Mere Moral Gesture. Meanwhile, in the Rhineland-- as if to demonstrate that the Kell- ogg paet was purely a moral! ges- ture--60,000 French troops are in- dulging in wholesale war man- oeuvres. The Red army utilizes all the skill in modern warfare glean- ed from the rccent conflict to repel closing days of this' week witness | 400 airplanes in a mimic battle | above Pdris. Such is the "new era of peace," as it exists in Europe today. It was no more promising, in fact, in the days preceding the signing of the treaty renouncing war. The atmos- phere for that signature three weeks ago was prepared thusly: By the British, with a stupendous aerial attack on London. By Italy, with massive army manoeuvres in Piedmont, where, significantly en- ough, the Red or invading army, came from the north---ostensibly a play on behalf of France. Travel. lers in Europe, those who came in contact with ome or more of these "defensive activities," were puzzled at what it all means, coming at the moment when war was to be brush- ed from the boards. This week would have been even more puzz- ling to them. After all, these restless janglings are not so disconcerting in them- selves as they are as manifestations of a psychology which is behind them. Perhaps they may best be explained by an expression which has become common usage in Ger- frieden." they say "in peace time," But the expression is always used with referemce to the days prior to July 1914. It is never applied to the period since the armistice. By this striking and entirely uncomn- scious method they reveal with pro- found clarity what every thinking European knows--that peace has not yet come, that for the present there is no peace. More than passing import, then, must be attached to Briand"s dra- matic outburst in Geneva, when he frankly admitted that the Franco- German rapprochement was a feeb- war-trained reserves, with her vast industrial resources capable of transforming Deutschland into an armed camp. In defence of the Franco-British naval agreement, Briand said: "We are accused of hiding wicked thoughts." Yet at that moment he was proving him- self equally suspicious-- perhaps even afraid, There was a sorrowful lack of confidence in Briand's speech. He attempted to justify it by saying he had spoken the truih, The majority of Frenchmen ap- plauded himy because they have as rattles his sword to comceal his fear. Germany, if not afraid, surs~ es an acid bitterness which rankles and sows unpleasant seeds for to- morrow. Britain struggles to regain her pre-war glory--and binds here self secretly more closely to France, hoping for added security. Hungary as Count Apponyi declared at Gen- eva the other day, is surrounded by neighbors with a half million sold- fers. Today Hungary protests vere bally because she has mo other ave enue open for protest. One does not aspire to be credited with view= ing Europe through indigo spectae les, yet where are there rose- tinted lenses which will dissolve these conditions as they exist? much or more fear than Briand himself has. Mussolini, too, ousies and distrusts and fears has been made. At Geneva Briand, the man of peace "speaks with the TE LINE OF SANI-BILT FURNITURE ON DISPLAY--SEE THIS MARVELLOUS PIECE OF HOME FURNISHING Purchase one of these Suites on our Easy Payment Plan E FURNITURE COMP ANY 63 Paris, Sept. 17.--At no time in many months, if not in years, has the invading Blue Army, which is | French army -- while across the many since 1918.
