following declarations:

President Wilson who has more
than once saved the day by defining
in unmistakable terms, the vital
issues Of war and peace, is looked
upon as the one man who can lead
the allied political world out of the

former foreign minister back to the
plane of harmony of purpose and
unity of action.

Four Possible Results.
The injurious effect the letter may
have may be four fold:
!. A pacifist wave in England
with consequent slackening of war
industries.
2. Distrust among Great Britain's
allies. particularly Italy, now pass
ing through a grave crisis in which
every ounce encouragement is
needed.
g. The impetus which the letter
may give to Teutonic war parties
and the heartening effect 1t will
have on the German people by Civ
ing the impression that Great
Britain is firing of the war.
4. The effect in the United States.
The chief import of the Lans-
downe document lies in the fact that
it is an open challenge to the Lloyd
