It expects Germany to earn vast sums and to earn them without the right and facility to trade abroad. It expects some Government to impose this servitude on the German workers. yet denies to that Government the army which alone might hold them down in outward obedience. It robs 15.000.000 Germans of subsistence and omits to provide them with a field for emigration." In short. Mr. President. the sun of commercial expansion in which Germany sought a place passes into total eclipse behind this treaty. and the shackles with which she is to be manacled in her obscurity have been forged with meticulous care by "the forwardlooking men" with whom the President was privileged to cooperate at Paris. but whose cooperation was strictly limited to looking out for themselves. while not omitting to see to it that ile United States should be made a full partner in every phase or. the enterprise designed for the benefit of the other: members of the big five.
