pecially as regards the freedom OF
the seas and league of nations.
The Spectator, which may be re-
garded as rejecting the government
views declares that the pivot on which
the worlds future turns is the deep
and lasting friendship between Great
Britain and the United States, tnd
that whilst that is kept firmly in view
there is no possibility of misunher-
standings. 1t contends that freedom
of the seas must be interpreted in
the British sense and that to discuss 1t
at all before a league of nations ac-
tually is in existence would be a
cardinal mistake.
The Spectator advocates as set-off
that the Monroe doctrine ought to be
accepted as the public law of the
world and duly formulated and con-
fined with the sanction of all the par
ties to the peace settlement.
The nation representing anti-govern-
mental thought, describes President
Wilson as "the intellectual sensa lion
of the war, as Lloyd George is its pop
ular diversion" The newspaper con-
tinues: "If Europe reverts to arma-
ments, anneXations, conscription and
secret treaties, America, in the person
of her great president, will wash her
hands of European concerns and shake
the dust of Europe from her feet for
ever. One thing is certain: If Presi-
dent Wilson's counsel is rejected moth
ing can avert a universal revolution
