edi:orally:
Has the lesson of the European war
taught the United States the need for

question depends altogether upon the
International position America holds. No
unbiased student of international affairs
will he convinced OF such a necessity.
England has for a long while accepted
me Monroe Doctrine and has in the recent
Mexican affairs been willing to give the
United states a free hand Germany.
too. has declared since the beginning ~
doctrine. There j. consequently no danger
whatever OF the United states coming
into conflict with the European Powers
'u~ the sake of UNFOLDING the Monroe
Doctrine
As 20 the Asiatic immigration ques-
ton h",n Japan and China have already
restricted the immigration az their sub
jsc,s into America So long as the Nmeri-
cans do not proceed further I'm excluding
A>iat.os with utter disregard for inter-
national law. there Is no fear that the
immigration question will become the
cause Of war. II in the future America
is ever driven into the maelstron of war
that will be the time when she herself
will extend her hand to the Eastern
Hemisphere and embark on The policy Of
territorial ACKNOWLEDGMENT.
This however. is policy hardly ac-
cep,dble to the present Democratic Gov
eminent. The two leaders of the party,
the President and the Secretary of state,
have avowed that they have taken ~
heart the instruction ~ Washington In
his farewell address. Why shall we leave
our land and plant ourselves in foreign
country? II follows. therefore. that
further increase of armament for America
would add nothing to the env.ahle inter-

Gotts Statement Confirms Previous Evidence-FOr Aus

The most useful purpose served by the
statement made by Giolitti In the Italian
Parliament is that 1T supplies new
standard 10y which to measure the events
which led to the outbreak OF the great
war, For four months the world has been
busly engaged in discussing SCRAPS OF

Incidental details. But here at last is a
plain statement of fact. OF cause. OF pur-
pose. easily comprehensive, Enthusiastically
authentic.
In 1918, in August. 1918. that is just
after the victories OF Servia and Greece
over Bulgaria, Austria informed her allies.
Italy and Germany. of her purpose to
attack Servia. The delay between August,
1913. and July. 1914. is explcabie as due
to the situation in which Austrian armies
were found. to the attitude OF Germany,
to the influence Of Italian and other ad-
visers. Whatever the cause for the delay.
the assassination of the Archdukc re-
moved the last restraint. What she had
resolved to do in 1918 Austria did in 1914.
1t is easy to characterize this Austrian
decision as a wanton resolve. as piece
of international violence indefenslhlc on
any ground. Yet II remains to examine
the situation IN which Austria found her
self and the alternative left her when az
last the Slav neighbor on her southern
marches emerged from two wars vic
torous and In Belgrade the disintcgration
OF Austria was the open design of al
patriotic Serbs.
For a century Austria and Russia have
been rivals In the Balkans Carlyle in his
life of Frederick the Great finds such
justification as he can for his hero in the
matter Of the partition of Poland by point
ing 20 the fac; that save for this arrange
meut Austria and Russia would have
fought over Turkish provinces.
At the Congress of Berlin Austria and
Great Britain united to prevent the crea-
ton of the Greater Bulgaria provided IN
| the Treaty of San Stefano. Al that time
: and thereafter for many years Servia wds
the soldier OF the Austrian Emperor N

Thus for twenty years Austria and

the Italian risorgimento OF the last CEN

OF the territorial gain made by Sardinia

To meet the situation Austria began a
campaign OF repression at home. and
abroad in the Balkans she supported
Turkey. Against Servla she directed a
tariff war which deprived the little state

encouraging bulgaria to attack Serrta,

But when. with the assistance VI Ru-

After the treaty OF Bucharest there
was left to Austria no choice but war or
