BUT ONE ALLIANCE

At the meeting of the American Academy oi Political and Social Science there was. as everyone would expect discussion Of America and the war What the weight Of opinion among the economists was as to the policy which this country should fo' low after the war 1t is possible to judge from ,he pubshed reports but we can hardly believe that the Academy was converted to the views of Dr. simon N Patten of the University Of Pennsylvania. who thinks that an alliance with Great Britain is the only salvation of the United States.
 With such league he held the United States would become the leader in the struggle to preserve the white races against self destruction to maintain their leadership to preserve the peace and to insure nstee among nations Without such league he could see nothing for America but the abandonment o, the Monroe doctrine the abandonment of the American possessions and the relin0ushment of our trade.
 This view of the Americah attitude toward world politics is strange one for Americans to take but since the war began 1t has been advocated in more than one quarter Still. 1t can hardly be necessary 10 argue that an alliance which might bind us to an other nation in war against republican institution and the right to seltgovernment is utterly incompati ble with American ideals and convictions But h this policy were not fundamentally opposed to Ameri' can traditions there would stn be in plenty for an argument that this nation does not desire and ought not to make an ailenee with any other nation as against any other nation set Of nations
 Alliances breed alliances. and just soon as America begins seeking alliances shall lay the foundations for an extension Of the theory that wars are prevented by balances of power. We have seen Italy jump from one alliance another in the midst of a war We have seen the Turks leave their old friends and step behind the Kaiser's banner. We know little something of the kind of politics tho kind of diplomacy and the baseness Of the treachery that go with alliances upon the European model We want none Of those things America has stood alone and has grown in trade. in wealth and in power This country can fend for itself and the best service we can be to the world is to impress our policy in world politics upon the rest Of the world rather than to adopt the dscredited policy that has brought all Eur ope to the verge of destruction.
