feeling that political control insures special
privileges, by desire to play large part in
the world, by national vanity, by a passion
for ownership; but none of these motives
would come into play if countries like China
and Turkey were not politically backward.
This present war is being fought not for
specific possessions, but for that diplomatic
prestige and leadership which are required
to solve all the different problems. Austria
began the contest to secure her position as a
great power in the Balkans; Russia entered it
to thwart this ambition; France was engaged
because German diplomatic supremacy would
reduce France to a second-class power; Eng
land could not afford to see France crushed
or Belgium annexed, because British imperial
ism cannot alone cope with the vigor of Ger
many; Germany felt herself encircled,' which
meant that wherever she went-to Morocco
Asia Minor or China-there a coalition was
ready to thwart her. The war hinges directly
upon struggle for supremacy in the arenas of
friction.

rNHIS twenty-slxth year, Walter Lippmann

Stakes of Diplomacy"-a book wonderfully IN

ty-hvel
With the sssuraace and poise OF thinker OF
fifty, and with considerably more than the
customary middle-age enthusiasm, the author,
who is one Of the editors of THE New Re
public" outlined some Of his striking theories
Of world politics in an interview.
II believe" he said. that for the real causes
Of the present European struggle, one must go
70 Turkey, and TO Africa, 10 the Balkan states
In short, 10 those territories which are dis
puted and ill-governed. Arenas of friction, these
troubie-making territories may be called They

ously vglsnt, ceaselessly await the oppor-
tunity 70 secure a preponderance of power in
them. Thus, an unending instability results
On these bones OF contention the powers are
forever testing the sharpness OF their teeth.
Universal peace certainly will never be possible
until these states are removed; that Is, until
these territories are stabilized and given an in
ternstonal status
"The chief the overwhelming, problem Of
diplomacy seems, as ! have said, to be the
weak state: the Balkans, the African sultan
ates, Turkey, China and Latin America. with
the possible exception Of the Argentine, Chill
and Brazil These states arc weak because
they are industrially backward and at present
politically incompetent They are rich In re-

the supreme problem Of diplomacy.
Our Monroe Doctrine is part Of the world
wide diplomatic contest This hemisphere, we
announce, is not 10 be made part Of the sub
stance of European diplomacy In return, we
virtually agree to protect by force, the inter
ests OF modern commerce in the weaker Latin
American states. We forbid European inter
vention, but we guarantee to remove the cause
By which European Intervention would be justi-
fed by Continental powers. We have tried to
establish an American oasis, free from the
shiftings Of European power. So far, circum-
stances have enabled us TO fulfil our preten-
sjons But over the rest OF the world this
struggle has brooded for decades, and the &C
curulated irrtations of it have produced the
great war Diplomacy has appealed to arms
because no satisfactory international solution
has been found for the Balkan, Turkish, Afri-
can and Chinese problems.
at Is essential TO remember that what turns
o territory into diplomatic problem is the
combination Of natural resources cheap LABOR
markets, defencelessness and corrupt ana mel
fcient government The desert OF Sahara Is no
problem, except where there are GASES ana
trade routes. Switzerland is no problem, for
Switzerland is highly organized modern state.
But Mexico is problem, and Hayt and Tur-
key and Persia. They have the pretension OF
political independence, which they do not fulfil.
1T Is not enough to say that the great
powers are expanding, or seeking markets. or
grabbing resources. They are doing all these
things, OF course. But If the world into which
they are expanding were not politically archaic
the growth of foreign trade would not be ac-
companed by political imperialism. This i'm
