pertinent, while the results of liberation
are already proved. To give liberty to
race is to give it instantly promise
of material prosperity following moral
health One has only to see in what
fashion even the little Balkan States
have developed with but a modicum of
freedom, one has only to recall the
miracle Of modern Italy, to grasp what
a new Europe is to come when sixty
millions Of people are set free.
THE league of nations is a great and
noble inspiration; it may be translated
into the most splendid fact in human
history. But it cannot even have a
chance to succeed if it crushes beneath
its foundations the unhappy body of
some little people. If we do not make
the world safe for all democracies, for
all races, for all peoples; if we do not see
to it that the Pole, the Rumanian, the
Southern Slav and the Bohemian Slav
each is assured his rightful place in the
sun, then our whole edifce is built upon
an untruth and is substantial denial
OF the truth it pretends to express.
1t is not little thing to liberate sixty
millions Of people. It is not minor
fact to see the world at last on the
point of redressing wrongs centuries
old. Each wrong against a people has
brought its punishment for Europe. The

The unity Of the German people is a

the Austrian Slavs is remote and

1t is no longer possible for Europe to
fight general war without involving
the United States, and henceforth our
frontiers of interest, if not of geog-

If the present settlement does not abol-

join in the next battle to resist it. and
therefore it is for US to contribute
what we can to the erection of barriers
against such new German eruption.

those millions of people who were yes
terday Germany's helpless slaves, whose
men supplied the cannon fodder, whose
fields yielded the food, whose factories
furnished the machinery for the present
war, whose collective contribution to the
German side alone made this war pos
sible. We must set them free, we must
provide them with the necessary re-
sources for separate national existence,
and we must guarantee them our pro-
lection during that relatively short
period necessary to their organization.
We should do all Of this as an act
Of justice. We owe it to the Poles, the
Rumanians, the Greeks, the Serbs, to the
people Of all the enslaved races, to
bestow upon them those blessings to
preserve which, so far as we were con-
cerned, we took up arms against Ger
many. But aside from the moral as
pect, which should be controlling and
rarely is in international relations. there
is the material consideration. Unless
we do liberate and fortify these races
we shall have to fight the German again.

this consideration in mind that we must
examine the map Of Europe, studying
in the boundaries not merely the politi-
cal boundaries between existing states,
but the photographic map on which are
written the boundaries between races,
to find the solution. If Germany is not
to fight the world again, Harvesting to
her war chariot the Poles, the Slavs, the
Rumanians, it must be because we have
so written our European settlement that
she can no longer control these races
and that these races, Joined voluntarily
and logically with us, will make force
too great for the German to challenge
So much for the material considera-
tions. We in America are so remote
from the battlefield and from the ques-
tons which through the centuries have
plagued European statesmen that it is
not strange that neither on the military
or on the political side is there any
general grasp Of affairs And yet it is
essential that there should be some
grasp, now that new phase is to open.

Freeing Sixty Millions
l. of Slaves

We have fought and are winning a psv
war OF liberation. We have coma 70 tbs
point where we can free sixty million,
Of slaves. Their hands are stretched ant
to Us, their fate is in measure IN our
keeping. Age-long tyranny has begun
to crumble and the masters Of the ola
regime are on the run. The last chain
which Metternich and those ASSOCIATED
with him put upon human liberty II
Vienna is breaking. If one could oply
recall now the millions Of men and
women Of the subject races who have
suffered and dared and died, maintained
through all their agonies by the hone Of
the coming of the hour which has come.
one could gain a more accurate notion
Of the splendid possibilities Of the dav
in which we live.
In other times, after wars, coalition
wars or contests between individual ma
tons, the prize of the victor was a prov
ince, the control of continent, the power
to impose one nations will upon another.
To-day, as there draws to its close the
greatest of all wars, the plain opportu
nifty is within our grasp to reach SET
Element which will go far toward max
ing new world war impossible. But We
cannot do this merely by international
agreements. The Holy Alliance and the
Concert of Europe are good examples Of
the futility of such insurance policies.
If. we do not erect strong and homo
geneous states across the pathway Of
German ambition, if we do not enable the
Poles, the Rumanians and the Serbs to
defend their own independence and thus
to protect the world against new Nit
teleuropa, there is nothing in history to
suggest that at later date the great
German nation, which will in any event
survive this war, will resume its old wor.
ship of power and its old lust for expsn-
sion. We can not and we should not take
German territory from Germany. This
will create new evil. Even the sugges.
ton that we should take the German
fraction of Schleswig- Holstein-and it's
by far the greater fraction-from Ger
many and bestow it upon Denmark seems
merest madness. Denmark could not
keep it, and we should sin against our
own light.

Europe Unbound-A War of Liberation

pansion through the Balkans to Asia,
while in Asiatic Turkey other states,
Armenian, Syrian and Arabian, guaran-
teed and protected by France and Brit
ain, will present no opportunity for
German exploitation.
And without these things, without
these liberated races, our victory, how
ever complete on the battlefield, will
have no permanent value. Germany,
foiled, will return, no matter what bur-
den be placed upon her and no matter
what form of league of nations be
framed. Certainly Germany must in
denlnify France as we'll as Belgium for
her wanton devastations, just as she
must restore Alsace-Lorraine and lib
crate her Poles and the 100000 Danes of
Northern Schleswig; certainly she must
pay the bill for illegal submarine depre-
dalton, whether tongue for tongue or by
money payment. Enthusiastically the de-
mand for an unconditional surrender of
her military and naval establishment
must be made good upon the battlefield
if the surrender is refused now. But
not all Of these things will permanently
shackle nation Of 75, 100000.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1918-11-03

here we may be sure that no league of
nations can have even a ghost of a
chance of success if it is not founded
upon the doctrine Of equal rights for all
races. AS mere insurance against war
this league Of nations will be as impo-
tent as the Holy Alliance or the more
recent Concert Of Europe if underneath
it there exists an ulcer such as the East
ern question or the problem Italy pre-
scented after the Congress of Vienna.
If we make peace without bestowing
liberty upon any race, that race will re-
pudiate our agreements, seek its own
rights and inevitably overset our
league of nations as the Balkan States
overturned the Concert of Europe.
To make peace permanent we must
abolish evils which are menace to per-
manent peace, and the greatest of such
evils is the survival of international in
justice expressed in the denial of liberty
to any race or nation. The refusal Of
Europe, divided by it's own selfish am
bitions, to do justice to the small Bal
kan States led the Balkan States to act
for themselves, led inescapably through
Serajevo to Armageddon.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1918-11-03

The question of Poland, of Rumania,
of the Austrian Slavs, is not, then, a
remote and relatively unimportant ques-
ton for Americans. On the contrary. it
is the most vital Of all questions, once
Germany has been beaten and forced to
surrender. Our mission, if we are to
have mission, in the making of peace
must lie in resolute championship of the
rights of all the peoples whose condi-
ton in the past has been such as to
make world confagration possible, in
evitable. If we do not desire again to
send our boys to Lorraine and to Cham
payne generation hence we must see
to it that the protection against a new
German assault upon our common civili-
cation is made possible. And we must
do this not by making Germany weak
"a thing which cannot be done perma-
nently in any case or wisely in any
degree-but by making strong those
peoples who collectively supply the one
sure barrier to recurrence of the
German attack.

FEW days ago there met in
Independence Hall, in Philadel-

n independence. Han, in phi'sdsl-
phia, the representatives Of
some sixty millions Of people in Europe,
members Of half score Of enslaved
races which in whole or in part have
been included within the limits of that
randiose German scheme of Mitteleu-
.opa. These representatives Of the
races which the German has character
ICED as "inferior people," and upon
whose permanent slavery he founded his
hopes Of world empire, in the most his
toric Of American buildings made appeal
tv the American people to lend their
aid in making this war true war OF
liberation. And it is to this phase of
the peace settlement that I desire to
turn in the present article.
The Mitteleuropa which the victories
Of Allenby and d'Esperey have recently
all but annihilated extended on the map
from the Baltic to the Persian Gulf; it
included more than $50, 100000 Of peo-
pie, and Of these but half were German;
the balance belonged to a score Of races,
and of these the Magyar, the ~Osmanli
and the Bulgar were admitted to a de-
gree Of partnership. In the German
conception the Austro-G German and the
Magyar were to be the overseers Of the
Slavs and Latins Of the Hapsburg en-
pire, the Bulgar the padrose Of the
Balkan races, the Osmanli Turk the
agent of the German master in Asia
Minor.
