Europe Is All Wrong.
"Eupore is economically, diplomatic
ally and financially wrong" he claim
ed Economically wrong because
Of Iandlordism with which, there can
not be political freedom. Diploma teal
~ wrong because treaties of peace in
Europe are really treaties of war, not
made in the interests of the people
but in the interests of the govern
ment or royal families.
These treaties are no more con-
cerned with peace than Zepplin over
London ready to drop bombs It has
been said the diplomats of Europe were
the catspaws of men who have great
syndicates for exploiting territory In
Europe. One of the platforms of the
Union of Democratic control is that
no treaty shall be made unless the pa
pers be laid on the table in the house
of commons for discussion and ratified
by that body. They are asking for
just what you have in this country
publicity. They seek to kill secret
diplomacy. The map makers of Eu-
rope have not understood the people
they were supposed to govern.
1t Is one OF the most wonderful
things that ever happened for a people
with democratic ideas such as YOU. to
be around the little gren table with
the nations of Europe when the war is
over. Bring your democratic ideas to
that table and Europe may have a flu
ture. It has gone on making the same
mistakes generation after generation.
Your ideas are going to be a shock.
1T was disconcerting after Asquitin
had said We are fighting for the rights
of small nations to find that small ma
lions have discovered they have
rights. This war cannot be perman-
emily settled until the Balkan question
is settled. And as long as Germany.
Austria. Russia, England. Italy and
France interests are going into the
Balkans to exploit the Balkans you
are going to have the Balkan question.
Clear these interests out of the Bal
kans and they win settle themselves.
Praises President Wilson.
What do we want to do in Europe
What YOU have done here. You have
smashed all traditions Of Europe-all
internal tariffs. Your country is the
greatest free trade area in the world.
The greatest utterance of a statesman
in the last hundred years was the
speech of President Wilson to the sem
ate. He said: No more imperialism;
the people shall decide: a league of ma
lions. and freedom OF the seas His
message was the breath of the spirit
OF brotherhood and love. You ought to
be proud OF your president.
Think Of what the Monroe doctrine
in Europe would mean. There is only
one way out: Europe must be like the
