peace Without Victory"

D RESIDENT WILSON'S phrase. Peace
without victory. seems to have aroused
more resentment among extrem, partisans Of
the allies in this country than in the countries
Of the entente That is not unnatural per
haps. for from the very inception OF the war
these persons have revealed a determination
to be more British than the British and more
French than the French.
There is evidence. however. that leaders of
opinion in England have followed the same
lines Of thought the President has followed
and reached the conclusion. In the
current number of the Saturday Evening Post.
for example, one Of the most distinguished
OF British writer's II. G. Wells, concludes a
series OF articles war problems. THE
Ending Of the War, this particular article
is entitled, and in it Mr.. Wells makes plea
for American intercession of much the same
character as the President has offered.
This article, though it was published two
days after the President made his address
to the Senate, was written obviously several
weeks at least before. "Can America Mr..
Wells asks. come into this dispute at the end
TO insist upon something better than
diplomatic patchwork and obvatc the
later. completed Armageddon? is there.
above the claims and passions Of Germany,
France. Britain and the rest Of them. con-
cevable right thing TO do for all mankind"
Further along in the same discussion he sets
masses in the belligerent nations. lin every
country al present at war he says. the
desire OF the majority OF the people is for
noncontentious solution that will neither
crystalline a triumph nor proptiate enemy.
but which will enlbody the economic and
ethnologic and geograp hc common sense of
the matter.
Mr.. Wells finds in America his one hope for
lasting peace. AS he wrote be not too
confident that the United States would come
forward to play the part of the Unimpassioncd
Third Party" but he in that which he
called improbability the end OF this war
being made the end of all the war in the
world. Again and again he stresses his
conclusion that settlement made in con
ference Of belhgcrents alone will be short
sighted. harsh. limited by merely incidental
necessities. and obscssed by the idea of hos
tiities and rvalries continuing perennially"
1t is easily possible TO point out in the
article Of Mr. Wells and the speech OF Mr.
Wilson dozen points Of virtual identity
Thinking independently, from different view
points and with different prejudices and am
billions they reach like conclusions
In Germany Macmillan Harden has
breathed the same high and just aspirations
for a world peace-a peace without victory"
"a peace which comes with healing in its
wings. peace which considers not the bel
igerents merely, but all mankind.
I; is proud thought that America has pro-
duced man capable Of translating these as
pirations into winged words and has placed
him in great Office where words may be-
come deeds.
