As to German Colonies.

THE suggestion for the return of the
German colonies is one which we Will leave
with perfect confidence to the considera-
ton of the American people. 1t is I'M
thinkable that hapless natives should be
returned TO power which has shown her
self so unfit to administer the affairs of
subject races. If anything could be worse
than Germany s record in Europe it is her
record in the colonies. Is a perma nent
peace possible in Africa with: Germany
there?
America is today the greatest hope of
the entente allies for stable peace. Amer
lea is fresh and determined. She has vigor
and backbone, youth and strength and
unlimited resources. She will not let Eu-
rope halt until peace on a stable and
permanent basis has been definitely estab-
lished. That is one great reason why
every one of her allies should be over
whelmingly thankful that America now is
with US
