German Attitude Criticized

Paris, June 20.

Rising up against Germany's general attitude in the Far East, "Lo Temps," semi-official newspaper, asserted today, "If Germany utilized, in peacefully exploiting the latent resources of China, one-tenth of the energy and riches that she has used to disturb our part of the world, Germans today would not be hungry, they would be better clothed and Europe would not be threatened with decay."

Japanese officials, it was understood, fear the publication of the details of the current Japanese-American negotiations since, such a step would induce American public opinion toward intercession in Tientsin on behalf of Britain, thus replacing the present attitude that the United States should refrain from becoming involved in the matter.—United Press.
