Shrank From the Truth
The American government could not
really have approved the treatment Of
Belgium, but under mistaken policy
it shrank from speaking the truth.
Such policies as have described are
doubly dangerous in their effect upon
foreign nations and in their effect at
home It is a matter Of universal eX-
perience that weak and apprehensive
treatment of foreign affairs invites en-
croachments upon rights and leads to
situations in which 1t is difficult to
prevent war, while a firm and frank
policy at the outset prevents difficult
situations from arising and tends most
strongly to preserve peace. On the
other hand, If a government is to be
strong in its diplomacy its own peo-
pie must be ranged in its support by
leadership Of opinion in a national
cause worthy to awaken their patri-
otism and devotion.
We have not been following the path
of peace We have been blindly STUN
bling along the road that continued
will lead to inevitable war.
When our government failed to tell
the truth about Belgium it lost the
opportunity for leadership Of the moral
sense of the American people and it
lost the power which a knowledge of
that leadership and sympathetic re-
Spouse from the moral sense Of the
world would have given to our diploma

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S.-with the
present critical military situation in
the near east, officials are anxiously
awaiting developments in the vicin-

mean much in the final outcome of

facts says:
THE Suez canal was constructed
