Germany’s fv Hope Lies in Agreement Anglo-French Parley Result Will Bear on Future of Country—Needs Fi nancial Aid. *4 Fear Split Up of Nation By MARK SULLIVAN. New York, Aug. 4.—What is going to happen in Germany is directly tied up with whether the French and British agree, and, if they agree, what they agree upon. In fact, British French agreement or disagreement Is the determining factor in the future of Germany, both the Immediate fu ture and the distant future. If they don't agree, if the French government keeps its army in the Ruhr, some form or other of revolu tion and dissolution Is sure to come upon Germany. It won't be avoided, J‘ either, by the cessation of passive re ^ sistance, or by the continuance of pas sive resistance. If the Berlin govern ment continues passive resistance the disaster will come through the col lapse of the currency and the pa ralysis of industry, followed by fam ine, violence and revolution. On the other hand, if the Berlin government should withdraw its orders for pas sive resistance, withhold its financial aid to the Ruhr workmen, and try to persuade them to work under the French bayonets—then, in that event, equally certain disaster would come in a different form. The reactionaries and nationalists throughout Germany, in the Ruhr and outside it would revolt against the government for its weakness at the same time great numbers of the workmen In the Ruhr would revolt in the contrary direc tion of communism. The financial help which the Berlin government and the big Industrialists give to the idle workmen in the Ruhr has as its purpose pot only resistance to the French, hut equally as much, or more, the staving off of communism. (All this is subject to the qualifica tion that the Berlin government would be able to withdraw passive i esistance without causing revolution f if that were part of an agreed pro gram looking to the settlement of reparations and the ultimate with drawal of the French army after reparations are paid.) So that the fate of Germany, both immediate and ultimate, depends wholly on whether the French and British ngree or fall to agree. Fear Disruption. The one thing feared in Germany is disruption, a splitting up into many pieces. Nobody In Berlin talks of (Turn to Pose Nine, Column One.)
