Mr.. Morgenthau is now in France,
and it is understood that his visit to
Palestine has been postponed owing to
the check of the British expeditionary

The Morgenthau mission has not
been abandoned, however, and 1t is pos

IL was declared by high authority
to-day that the purpose Of his visit TO
Europe and Asia is to study the entire
Jewish problem, particularly with reia-
ton 10 the proposed creation OF an IN
dependent Palestine.
President Wilson was said not TO be
satisfied with his present information

With both the Allies and the Cen
trail Powers facing serious internal
political crises, it may be taken fol
granted that neither group of bellig'
erents will ignore the Pope's peace pro-
posal. The backbone Of the Allies to-
day is Britain, and Britain's peace
slogan, officially announced by Lloyd
George, is restoration. The same word
is apparently the essence Of the Vati-
cans proposal.
The British Prime Minister in his re-
cent speeches made it clear that the
restoration and naturalization of Bel
GUM were the minimum of Britain S
peace terms. Ex-Premier Asquith
clearly and Enthusiastically stated that
Germany's willingness to restore and
indemnify Belgium would make peace
conversations possible.
Russia's Probable Attitude
1t is not likely that the British gov
eminent has changed its attitude dur
ing the last month. But, If it has done
so, under French and Italian pressure,
Allies to consider the Vatican's peace
formula. There can be little doubt
that the New Russia will heartily sub
scribe to the Pope's conditions. No
government that would fail to do so,
be il even Kerensky dictatorship,
could exist in Russia for any length of
time.
England, France and Italy are feel
ing the popular pressure in favor Of
peace. The Socialists in these coun-
tries have decided to participate in
the Stockholm Conference, and their
governments refusal to let them go
there has only embittered and inten-
sifed their opposition. The Pope's &C
tion will stimulate all pacifst move
ments in the various countries.
The difficulties the proposal is likely
to encounter will be found largely in
the Teuton alliance. The Germany OF
Michaels and Hindenburg is hardly
ready as yet to restore and indemnify
Belgium. But II is in Austria Hungary,
Bulgaria and Turkey that the key TO
the Central Powers attitude toward
the Pope's peace move is located
Catholic Austria has been in close
association with the Vatican during
the third year of the war. More than
once it was reported that peace offer
would be the result of this association.
That Austria was In need of peace
more than any other of the great bel
lgerents is well known. The Dual
Monarchy is virtually in state of
collapse, economically and militarily.
Several months ago she repudiated all
aims at annexation and indemnity.
She made bid for separate peace
with Russia, but failed.

has been making efforts TO end the war.

I'M. P. Tells Commons Return
of Possessions to Germany

LONDON, Aug. 1.-THE question 81
the future disposition of German col.
snies came up to-day In the House OF
Commons during the discussion OF the
Colonial Office budget. Donald MAC
Master, NJ. P. for Surrey. Northwest
and a former member of the Canadian
Parliament, assured the government
that British colonies would uniformly
oppose restoring to Germany her col
onies in the Pacific Ocean. -,
The colonies, he said. realized tne
danger of these German possessions
Canada knew that Germany might have
blown Vancouver or Prince Rupert TO
atoms had the German feet not gone
on other ventures off the coast OF
Chile. .
Waiter Hume Long, Secretary OF
State for the Colonies, said that Can
ada did not dcgmatize regarding me
future of German colonies, but desired
the imperial government to realize the
strength of their feelings, not from a
desire of increased territory, but solely
from a desire that peace should De
such that it would make certain the
security Of the empire.

German rule introduced there.
81 should think that all men familiar
with the terrible history Of Germany In
the South Pacific ard all the people OF
Australia and New Zealand would re-
gard the return of those islands as an
indescribable calamity, even II there
were no strong diplomatic and other
reasons why nothing Of the kind should
be allowed.
Better 10 Suffer Now
I'm putting forth these proposals at
this time Germany has, with charac-
teristic cunning, played upon the fact
that the world is weary OF war and
would welcome peace. Men Of warm
and generous >sympsthies, and not &C
oustomed 70 the deliberate weighing OF
causes and effects. can easily be per-
suaded into the support of something
that promises to put an end to the
present slaughter and suffering.
But this is a time for a vision that
looks beyond the painful situation of
to-day to the only hope of enduring
peace hereafter.
at is better that We should suffer
what We suffer now than that our
children should dwell in a condition
infinitely worse, and that the hope OF
mankind should be thrown away by
yielding 10 a sentiment
Zone can easily see that the arrival
of Germany's proposals after the stage
has been so carefully set for them will
test the fortitude and the faith Of the
Allied peoples. But il democracy really
means to US what We have protested
that 1t means to us, we shall be as reso-
Lutte against such proposals, even when
they come through a respected and
innocent source, as We are against
Germany's other attempts to root out
democracy by force Of arms.
Says Pope Was Deceived
The Pope has been deceived. II is
not difficult to deceive a kindly, gem
erous, benevolent soul that lives re-
mote from the struggle and remote
from human affairs But those who
see clearly the terrible dangers that
turks in this proposal are sternly called
upon by duty to resist it.
There is one source of danger that
may not be we'll understood: That the
proposals will probably stimulate in a
reflex way the pscifst agitation in this
country. The effect of such agitation
upon the situation in Russia is likely 10
be something that may we'll alarm
every one familiar with the temporary
conditions there and in Europe"

ing him to use his influence TO shorten
the war. On February 81, 1915, il was
learned that he had sounded the Kaiser
as TO the terms on which he would mako
peace, and il was said that the Pope
had the assistance Of Francis Joseph
in this move.
Dispatches from Petrograd on April
l6, 1915. told of peace suggestions"
that had come from the Pope at the
instigation Of private persons in Aus
ria-Hungary." When the eighty-ffth
birthday of Francis Joseph was cele-
brated on August IS, 1915. one OF the
messages received by tho Emperor was
from the Pope, renewing his solicita-
tions for an early peace.
A New Christmas Effort
The following Christmas the Pontif
repeated his efforts, sending an exhor-
tation by cable to the United States
for a general prayer for peace, and
permitting the publication of his dis
cussion of peace problems with the
cardinals.
Early in May, 1915, Monsignor Bon
1ano, Papal Delegate, delivered to
President Wilson a message from the
Pope which intimated that this nation
might volunteer TO aid in restoring
peace to Europe. The message came
at a diplomatic crisis with Germany,
and the President in his reply ignored
the Papal hints. Another message
from the Vatican. expressing approval
of the Presidents peace note, was de-
livered on January 16 Of this year.
While these more prominent endeav-
ors were being made, the Pope never
lost an opportunity, however slight, to
project the idea OF peace before the
world.

| During the last month there were

activities. The sudden change in the
policies Of the Catholic party IN the

leader, Matthias Erzberger, visited

All that goes to show how closely

recent statement of Count CZernin,
Austrian Foreign Minister. one can
| find more evidence of the probability
that the Pope acted with the knowledge,
IL not at the instance, Of Vienna. On

way Of thinking, the natural conclu-
sion is that further sacrifices and suf-
fering imposed on all humanity are
useless, and that it is necessary, in the
interests of humanity, to reach peace
by understanding as soon as possible.

that the world may succeed, after the
conclusion of peace. in finding adequate
means and eYpedients to prevent for
ever the recurrence of such a fright

feeling must cooperate in this gigantic
work, and all the states Of the world
must unite in their efforts TO procure
guarantees which will make impossible
in the future such frightful disaster
as the present world war. The road
may be difficult, but it is not impossi-
BILE"
vienna's Approval Certain
One thing at least is certain: The
Pope would never have launched his
peace scheme had the Vatican, through
its sources of information, known that
Vienna would disapprove of it. So even
If the Austrian government had not
had anything to do with the proposal,
il is safe to assume, because OF its
proximity to the Vatican, that it is in a
mood to receive the peace plan favor
ably. That means that Austria, un-
doubtedly backed by Turkey and Bull
garia, will exert pressure on Prussia to
agree to the Pope's peace terms.
Will Prussia be able to resist her
allies pressure? When one considers
that South Germany is likely to join
Austria in ner efforts to influence the
Berlin government in favor Of the
Pope's terms, and that the German
masses are apt to exert similar pres
sure from within, IL is conceivable that
Prussia would fnally agree to restore
and indemnify Belgium. The chief OBJ
stacle in The way toward peace would
thus be removed.
