THE CONTRIBUTION OF FRENCH
COLONIES.

Although Bismarck is regarded as
having been a very clever and astute
politician and diplomat and lived to
see almost all of his plans mate
rallied, / wish to point out one in
stance where his calculations COM
pletely miscarried.
We know that, at the very moment
when he was trying to induce Italy
to enter the Dual alliance, Bismarck
was secretly encouraging France to
annex Tunis. He connived with
France because he knew that il
France should acquire Tunis this act
would drive Italy into the alliance
with Germany and Austria for the
sake of f-protection. He believed
that if France should become inter-
ested in colonial projects she would
have her mind diverted from her re-
sentiment caused by losing Alsacc
and Lorraine, and in the second place,
France would be weakened for many
years to come by the expense incl
dent to developing her colonies.
The foresighted French premier.
Jules Ferry favored colonial policy
but for different reasons. He be-
lieved that France WOULD be enabled
to strengthen herself in many ways.
If France should adopt a benevolent
attitude toward her colonies such as
Great Britain had followed with sat
isfactory results, there would become
available many recruits for the
French army in time of crisis, as well
as money and food and materials for
munitions.
Which was the better prophet, Bis
marck or Ferry?
The answer is seen in the help
rendered France by her colonies in the
great world war Germany attempt
ed by propaganda, by bombardments,
by fomenting revolutions, and by
every possible means, to win the al
legiance OF her colonies away from
France. Thanks to her enlightened
policy of development intended to
serve the interests of her colonlals
as well as the colonies contributed
up to July, 1918, 100000 fighting
men and 23S,000 workers, and some
of these fighters We're especially fear
ed by the enemy. The colonies sub
scribed about SIPS, 100000 to various
war loans and contributed over So
900, 900 to various kinds of war re-
lief In addition to men and money,
the colonies supplied France with

TREATIES THAT FAILED.
(TYax.,, (t;t., r-i,1,nr \

In the autumn of 1914 the Allid
powers including Russia, signed a
solemn covenant that none of them
would make a separate peace with
Germany. Last year the government
in control of Russia made not only a
separate peace. but a shameful peace.
In 1915 it is presumed that Bull
garia signed Il similar compact with
Germany. In any event she announced
through her premier that she would
fight to the end with the Central
powers, with whom her destiny was
inextricably bound up. This week
Bulgaria made peace.
These Instances are cited to illus
trate the danger of putting too great
confidence in treaties.
The United States ought to enter
into any league of nations that hold
out the hope of protecting the world
for as long n time as possible against
a repetition of this war. But 1t could
not possibly afford to let such
league be substitute for its own
ability to defend itself Circumstances
might arise, as arose in the case OF
Russia and Bulgaria, which might m
duce some of the leagues members TO
say: Excuse me, we really hnd IN
tended to stay by this alliance lndetl-
nitely. But circumstances have arisen,
much to our regret

GREAT TASK OF THE ALLIES.

Daily it becomes palmer that the
allies are facing a tremendous task
in the reconstruction of Europa
task that is beset by dangers and
difficulties that are yet but dimly
realized.
The signing of the armistice merely
marked the end of the military prob
lens and the taking IN of the politi-
cal, social and economic problems
that must be solved in some fashion
before peace may really be said to
have been established.
The military problem was victori-
ously solved because the allies finally
achieved absolute unity of command.
The problems that now press for solu-
ton demand corresponding unity of
purpose. The degee with which that
unity is accomplished will measure
the success with which a real and
durable peace is achieved.
The belief is general among the
allies that the food cry sent out fran
tically from Berlin is merely cam
outage intended to provoke sympa-
thy, especially in the United States.
But there is no doubt that there is
actually food shortage in the German
cities and in Austria. and we can not
afford to take chances of a Belshevik
reein of terror in central Europe.
There is something OF a similarity
between the situation that confronted
Germany when Russia went to pieces,
and that which now confronts the
allies when Germany has collapsed.
One of Germany's most tragic mis-
takes was the deliberate cultivation
of Bolshevism and infection of Rus
STA with the poison, for now the poi
son is'seeping into her own veins, TILED
to the great blunder of the treaties
of Brest-Litovsk and Bucharest.
The allies must find way to coun-
teract the poison and save central
Europe from the infliction Germany
has brought upon her neighbors and
upon herself What is now needed
most of all is accurate knowledge of
the actual conditions in Germany.
Berlin asked that a commission might
be sent to America to inform the peo-
pie of conditions in Germany. NO
such commission is needed here, but
an American commission sent to Ger
many to learn conditions would be
wise. The people of this country and
of the world would have confidence
in the report the American would
make, but nobobdy would have the
least confidence in what a German
commission would tell If it came to
America

WOULD MAKE BoLsHEvIsTs.

Notwithstanding the fact that more
than quarter of a million I. w. w.
members are known to be somewhere
in the United States. so far the adj
ministration has proposed nothing cal
culated to give work this winter and
next to the millions of men and wo-
men who will lose their Jobs during
the next few months and to the re-
turning and discharged soldiers.
The republicans of the United States
senate have proposed legislation, en-
tirely non partisan, for investigation
of the problems presented. The pres
ident has let it be known that he
wants the whole matter left to n COM
mission which he would name.
The railroads are in the hands of
the government, therefore, no con-
suction OF branch lines can he made
without the governments approval.
1t was through railroad construction
after the civil war that labor was
cared for. Not only was employment
given in the obstruction of the roads,
but homesteads were made available
throughout the west and hundreds of
towns and cities We're built IN.
Surveyors are now wok!ng frantic
ally in this state to finish a survey
of Sandoval county. so that returned
soldiers may file on homesteads. But
unless they have highways or rail-
roads in Sandoval county in vastly
better quantity than now, the men
who take up those homesteads will
make a complete failure on them.
There is and has been a crying need
for n railroad from Albuquerque
though Sandoval county to Farming
ton. This writer knows that if tho
war had not come on. the Santa re
would now he operating such road
But the Santa Fe is now in the hands
of the government, whore it IS likely
to remain until after the presidential
election in 1920.
An order from the director general
would start the construction Of a
branch line. and that line would pay
from the beginning. But who has in
fluence enough with the director gen
eral to induce him to order the con-
struction of this or any other needed
railroad branch?
If same millions of people are out
of employment during next year, the
Bolshevik crop in this country will
be a huge one.
