Not that the United States would be
required definitely to commit itself be-
forehand to any such policies. To ask
anything of the kind in black and white
would be altogether too offensive and
even brutal to commend itself to Euro
pean diplomacy. Enough to say that
Great Britain, France, and Italy have no
desire whatsoever to disturb in any way the
susceptibiities of the American people.
And they know full we'll that the exclusion
of American delegates from the Congress
would be deeply resented in this country
by all classes OF the population.
Granted, then, that America is to have
a place at the council board, what part
shall we play in the final negotiations?

There is only one man in the United
States who can be said to possess the

This man is Elihu Root
At the Congress of Vienna just hun
dred and one years ago, no nation was at
the outset at greater disadvantage than
France. Held accountable for the wars
by which well-nigh all the countries of
continental Europe had been devastated
in the preceding twenty years; with the
greater part of her territory, including
her metropolis, occupied by foreign
troops; reduced to the last state of mill
tary and above all economic exhaustion
the most vigorous opposition was raised
against her being permitted to have any
share in the negotiations in the Donau-
stadt. 1t was argued that people who,
under the leadership of the first Napoleon,
had been the cause of such untold misery,
who had subjected Germany, Italy, Spain,
Austria, Portugal, and the Netherlands
to ruinous extortions, who had despoiled
royal and private palaces, museums, and
other public institutions of their most
cherished and valuable treasures, had
placed themselves outside the law, and
should have no voice in the discussions
of the Congress.
Talleyrand at the Congress of Vienna
GREAT BRITAIN and Russia, how
ever, insisted that France should be
represented at the meeting at Vienna,
and carried the day. Louis XVIII, al
though strongly prejudiced against Tai
leyrand,-fo whom, indeed, he enter
tanned positive antipathy,-quickly
came to the conclusion that the Prince
was the only statesman of sufficient i'm
portance, renown, and weight to under
take the representation of France at
Vienna, the one French statesman, in
fact, who could hope to secure hearing
for his country at the Congress.

to the idea of President Wilson being per-
mitted to play any prominent part in the
negotiations of peace, either as mediator
or as arbitrator, is precisely that very
Germany, to retain whose favor he re-
Trained from uttering any word of sympa-
thy in behalf of stricken Belgium. Indeed,
so bitter is the resentment entertained
in the Kaiser's dominions against him,
that objections are being raised there
to his being allowed even to send dele
gates to the Congress of Peace at the close
of the war. Germans argue that, since
the United States has had no active share
in the conflict as beligerent, it can have
no voice in the negotiations in connection
with the termination of the struggle.
While no such intensity of feeling
against America is to be found among
Germany's allies, yet the Dual Empire
has never entertained any particular
good will toward the United States.
During the Spanish war of 1898, the
Vienna government endeavored to Or
ganize an armed coalition in Europe
against this country, and has frequently
urged that the Great Powers of the Old
World should join together in an economic
fight against America. The Austro-Hun-
garians would not, therefore, be especially
anxious to have the United States repre-
scented at the Peace Congress, while of
course Japan would be disposed to approve
the barring of this nation from the confer
ence, in return for the affront to which
her national pride has been subjected by

Nor has Russia any reason to feel very
cordial toward the United States, which,
after having demanded in a very insistent
and even peremptory fashion certain radi-
cal changes in laws governing the treat
ment of Jews in the Empire, denounced"
that is to say, annulled-all treaties be-
tween the two nations, for the avowed
purpose of giving expression to it's dis
pleasure. The affront was felt deeply at
Petrograd, as inconsistent with the old
established friendship of the two coun-
tries-a friendship which had caused Gear
Alexander III to send his fleet to New
York, as an earnest of support of the
United States, at moment when the
latter was confronted by very grave
crisis in the Civil War. Nor have the
relations been much improved by the
humilating lack of confidence shown here,
since the beginning Of the present war,
toward Russia in connection with her
negotiations for loans, and for the pur-
chase of army and railroad supplies.
The Part Our Representative

ONLY Great Britain, France, and Italy
may be relied on to insist upon the
participation of the United States in the
international Congress that will determine
the final conditions of peace and the re-
constitution of the map of the world.
They will urge the presence of Americas
representative on political, but more
especially on economic, grounds. But
their attitude in the matter will be based
on their expectation that they will re-
ceive the approval and support of the
United States in the stern measures which
they avowedly intend to adopt toward
Germany, or rather should say toward
Prussia, in order to destroy for all time
her military terrorism, and by restricting
