In the examination of the nrwwnt
phase of the latest European crisis it
is essential to recognize at onee that
while the new invasion of Germany
does not now mean war and may not
in fact mean war, not only is war a '
possibility but the preliminary mili
tary operation strikes at the centre of
all possible German insistence, were
war to result ' , '
This is the ease, because the occu
pation of the Rhine iratewav to the
Ruhr region is, in reality, the first
long step toward the occupation of

are situated the Krupp works and the
other great establishments which
would have to supply . Germany with
the larger fraction of her mechanical '
means for defending herself. Binee
the Silesian district is now in allied
hands and allied garrisons there could
promptly be reinforced 'by Polish di
vision near at hand the Ruhr is the
sinple available source for German
munitions.
Going back nearly seven years it
will be recalled that one of the argu
ments most frequently advanced by
the Geraaas In defense of their ii-
vasion of Belgium was the fact that
allied advance through Belgium
would bring the enemy close to the
prwt Esnen .d'strict and thus to we
source of German military supplies,
as well as of German coal, the basis
of all German war inddstry. It is
plain then that the"' occupation of the
gateway to the Ruhr while having
the character of a purely punitive ana
nolitieal aesture. in reality represeits
a decisive thrust at the vital center
of any possible German resistance.
firntd that Germany is Incapable
of sustained military effort, that she
has been deprived of the larger part

her aircraft and even a measurable
fraction of her field gms, conceding
that any resistance would be neees
aarily weak and futile, it is the el-

sures her approximate helplessness.
