W. O. Mendenhall Explains European Economic Status
France's Reasons for Ruhr Occupancy Summed Up in "Security," Says Speaker
"The Frenchman's reason for the occupancy of the Ruhr may be summarized in one word, 'security'. Throughout England there is a better security than the kanting of Germany, while the French say their purpose is to undo the work of Bismarck, W. O. Mendenhall, president of Friends University, in his speech, "Points of Europe" at convention this morning.
At a conference at which 20 ministers of New York were in attendance. General Allen, who acted as secretary of state and for peace conference, arrived at this conclusion: "Diplomacy has no solution in the European situation. There seems to be a solution in your book." (I will note that "according to President Mendelshan.
Poverty Is In England
"The situation as one finds it in England can be described as absolute poverty. The apparent indications of the desolate persons on the streets and the homeless mothers are not unusual but are typical of the entire country."
"Idleness of miners, shopworkers, and ships put England in a serious situation. The market for England's coal has been taken away by the separation coal. The shopworkers are idle because the German merchants are under-bidding the English firms. It is not to be wondered at why the English are so unyielding in regard to lenency toward Germany.
"Our wheat surplus can be eaten, thus relieving hard times. This is not the case in England. The merchants must have incoming revenues to keep their trade moving. Any surplus which cannot be sold makes their cases worse. The wealthy estate holders are vacating because of poverty. The nobility has suffered terribly by the laxity of business. Great estates show need of repairs and in many instances the property has been overused, which total approximately 30 per cent, with exemption beginning as low as 250 pounds, leaves the persons mega returns on incomes.
Same Situation in France
"In France the same situation exists but with a hatred toward any German faction or thing. The old man is holding the Rube in French and are holding the Rube in German said, 'In the life time of this old man this thing has happened twice. We trained our children knowing that they must face the crisis. The thing broke loose and we know its effects, but we must be again. We must have security.'
German Masses Not to Blame "The Germans are holding the same view we would if we had been brought up on that soil. The masses are sincere and had nothing to do with the making of the war. They are the unfortunate victim of a well-organized military machine.
"The group of which I was a member was composed of men with various opinions, and we had a better chance to get the truth. We were trying to secure sympathetic views of persons in England, France and Germany, and fully understand how the people really feel," concluded Doctor Mendhenl.
Prof. W. B, Downing of the School of Fine Arts gave a vocal solo, "The Blind Plowman," by Clark. As an encore, he sang "the Lightning Bug." Dean Donald M. Swarthout was the accompanist.
Graduate School Dean Visits Junior Colleges
