there must be no policy OF an eye for an

Here is Mr. Wilson'S opportunity" the

toward Germany, we are sure. as toward
ourselves But she Is the only neutral
great Power except Italy left outside the
orbit OF war. We earnestly hope that Mr.
Wilson finding himself in this position
particularly since he represents a nation
deeply committed to the principles of The
Hague-will boldly ask the German EN-
peror to declare his intentions.
Mr.. Wilson can act as no one else could
as the spokesman OF civilization and OF
human rights. The question TO be put to
the German Emperor could be asked in a
manner that would admit of no nrisunder-
standing or evasion.
Does the German Emperor repudiate
the Geneva convention and--perhaps even
more blnd!ng-the common understanding
of Europe that has grown up In the last
200 years? Does he repudiate all the
Hague conventions? We ought 70 know.
