Popc's Peace Move and Stockholm

DOPE BENEDICT'S message to all the
belligerent countries on yesterday, pro-
posing peace based on the restoration Of Bel
GUM, Serbia and Roumania and the solution
Of the problems Of Alsace-Lorraine, Trentino,
Trieste and Poland. comes at tho psychology
cal moment to suit Potsdam. Indeed, en-
tente diplomatic circles are convinced that
the Pope's peace proposals were inspired by
Potsdam just as the approaching meeting Of
international Socialists at Stockholm to dis
cuss peace received its impulse from Pots
dam.
Some weeks ago Potsdam planned and
carried out with striking success a meeting
OF German and Russian Socialists at this
same Scandinavian capital From that con-
ference the Russian Socialists went back
home, and their extremists, under German
guidance. undertook to destroy their new
government They have rendered Russia al
most hors de combat In military sense
The German Socialists returned to Berlin
and with the aid Of the Centrist party threw
Bethmanp-Hollweg out OF Office and executed
war dance before the military autocracy
but the autocracy quelled the mob, and il Is
stronger in the empire to-day than ever
Austria. the church and the Socialists were
all on the stage or in the wings. the Vatican
prompting from one Of them. but Potsdam
was the stage manager and scene shifter.
The curtain now again rises Russia is
beaten back within her dominions. but she
is summoned again TO meet German So
cialisis at Stockholm. The Russians In turn
invite Italian. French. British and American
Socialists to 60 there. and tell them and
the world what the allied democracies are
hghting Tor. something that all the world
knows. The respective governments of these
invited Socialist representatives have refused
them passports. and as consequence In
Britain the government is threatened and
the Laborites az in turmoil in France and
Italy nutterinss are heard. and here in
America the government is denounced by
every pacifst in and out Of Congress for not
l-rmitting Morris -Iillquit, the representa-
tive OF the pro-German Socialists, to 20 as a
messenger OF peace to the Kaiser through
Stockholm. With Stockholm and this peace
talk. Potsdam has set the whole allied de-
mocraces by their ears. But right on the
heels OF this disturbance and division comes
the Popes message OF peace And the Pope
cannot be snubbed. The allied democracfes
must respond. Germany must respond,
What will the answer be? Potsdam su-
prenely aspires to be an artist in craft. but
there are eyes that see the clumsy hand
