\ Separation
"A Of Detectives

This, to my mind, is the fatal dilemma
which grows out of the combination of
two wholly dissimilar detectives at Yer
sailles. 1t was the dilemma faced by the
conquerors Of Napoleon, who were as
eager as are the victors of to-day to get
some insurance against the terrible con-
vulslon which had shaken Europe, not
for fifty-two months, but for TWENTY-FIVE
years. They solved it by separating the
two objectives. They made prompt peace
with France in the Treaty of Paris. and
IN this treaty they deliberately sur

split between the victors in this war, and
will not the Germans be able to make
use of this split, naturally allying them
selves with those who seek to promote
the League of Nations rather than the
claims for restitution and PREPARATION?
And if such divergence of detectives
occurs, it seems to me inevitable that
the United States, which has suffered
no material injury Of consequence and
is therefore east concerned for itself
with any claim for restitution or repara-
ton, will be most likely to drift toward
a community of action with the Germans
in the furtherance Of the scheme for
League of Nations at the sacrifice of
the claims for reparation to Britain,
France and Italy, as we'll as Belgium
and Serbia.
The Germans, moreover, whatever de-
gree of order they may succeed in es-

course has already indicated, to come to

TT ow France Was
Won Over

But in facing the same difficulty that
must now be faced again the conouerors
of Napoleon were far more logical than
the victors of the present hour. Thew
desired to prevent new outbreak like
the French Revolution with its twentv-
odd years of consequent wars. But thew
realized that this would be impossible if
they undertook to write a treaty which
imposed upon France any such burdens
as would awaken permanent resentment
in the minds of the French people.
Therefore they sacrificed their claims
against France in the main, giving the
French people almost complete immunity
from punishment as bride to win them
to the new order.
Actually the situation was this: For
more than twenty years French armies
had overrun Europe, making war in for
elgn countries, enlisting the subjects,
requlsltoning the funds. The revolu-
ton, and Napoleon afte,. it, had made
war at the expense of the enemy. and
France was free from debt at the hour
when the Emperor abdicated. Here was
clear warrant for indemnities. clear
chance for retributive Justice, but the
conquerors deliberately put it aside.

gle moment suggesting this as a ri ht
just or proper course. On the contrary,
1t would, in my judgment, be singularly
inequitabe and intolerable. But if the
League of Nations is the chief concern
of the Peace Congress this would offer a
way, and I think the only conceivable
way, of bringing Germany into it.
If, by contrast, we proceed to frame

colonies and an indemnity of ten to

German people be with respect to a

obtain ratification of its treaty from the

both be repudiated?

WIN There Be a Recognized
w German Government

We have had since November II one of
the most dramatic and astounding pa
geants in all human history. We have
seen the surrender of a great nation on
the battlefield, followed by the swift
revolution within that country which
has swept away all the old landmarks,
all the familiar forms of government.
And while the great enemy, Germany,
was surrendering and Transforming it
self Austria Hungary has resolved it
self into chaos of races. At the mo-
ment when the discussion of peace is
imminent we are not in the least GER
tain that we shall have in the case of
the two larger nations with which we
have been at war any recognized gov
eminent, speaking with the sanction Of
the German people, OR any conceivable
group of representatives, collectively
speaking for what was a month ago
the Hapsburg Empire.
And this is the first and greatest OBJ
stacle which lies in the pathway of the
Versailles congress. If Germany shall
now eschew Russian pathways and find
swift and satisfactory methods of restor-
ing domestic tranquility and attaining
such governmental unity as to enable her
to send to Versailles delegates speaking
for the German people and authorized
and capable of binding the German peo-
pie to the agreements there made, the
undertakings in the way of territorial
cessions and financial Preparations, then
the task will be simplfed But what
evidence have we yet to warrant belief
that this will be possible? Moreover.
If it is not how can we, in fact. achieve
peace with our recent enemy at Yer
sailles?
In the past the beaten nation or coal
1tlon OF nations in the great wars of
history have survived with their national
integrity undestroyed. France. after
1870, changed from an empire to a
republic, but the representatives of the
Third Republic spoke with full and I'M
questioned authority, their signatures to
the preliminary armistice and the de-
tinitive document of Frankfort were
honored by their countrymen and un-
challenged by their foes. When Ma
poleon abdicated at Fontainebleau in
1914 his conquerors placed a Bourbon
on the French throne and made peace
with him. This peace, for the moment
suspended by the return from Elba, was
nevertheless repeated in new Treaty
OF Paris after Waterloo and honored
alike by France and her conquerors.

hausting general war men have before
sought some insurance through nterna-
tional combination. Thus when Napo-
leon was defeated the sovereigns of
Europe combined in Holy Alliance.
They united against what they conceived
to be the peril to peace of their time,
namely, republican ideas They includ-
ed France in the alliance because they
were able to place one of themselves, a
duly authenticated King, upon the French
throne.

y ussia Established the
AZ First Precedent

BY contrast after Russia fell and the
bolShevlk rose to power there was no
one with whom the Germans could salts
factorily conclude peace, and we had the
amazing spectacle of Trotzky and his
associates quitting Brest-Litovsk, refus-
ing to sign treaty which they could
not refuse to accept. Since that time,
moreover, there has been condition of
anarchy in Russia and no man could or
can clearly understand what is the sit
uation. German armies have occupied
Russian territory and organized indie
pendent states on old Russian soil, but
even the Germans recognized long be-
fore they finally yielded to the western
nations that the settlement of Brest
Litovsk was no settlement.
We have then the clear possibility
that what happened in the case of Rus
STA will now occur in the case of Ger
many This revolution in the former
German Empire may rapidly or slowly
march to the chaos which has existed
in Russia for more than a year and a
half. If it does, we can occupy such
portions of the German territory as we
choose; Germany is helpless; we can
make such provisional arrangements as

rendered their own material claims
against France that France might not be
left in state Of sullen and enduring re-
sentiment which would make a new war
almost inevitable.
Having done this, they went to Vienna
and there, in real congress, undertook
the reorganization of Europe and of the
international relations of the world
which was expressed in the Treaty of
Vienna, fortified by subsequent agree
ment made between kings. At Vienna
France appeared as an equal, and repre-
sented by Talleyrand, soon reasserted
her old influence in European gather
ings. The decisions made at Vienna
were an abominatlon. They contained
the seeds of untold wars and revolutions,
but this does not lessen the strength of
the argument that only by the separa-
ton of the two detectives could any
agreement have been made, and had the
Vienna document been as good as it was
bad it would not have been possible if
the victors of 1914 and 1916 had pur-
sued toward France the course we are
bound to pursue toward Germany.

by their own wish, but by the decision

to free the Danes, the Poles and the in

and with many other powers over the
whole body Of nations, such as have here
tofore been exercised only by the central
government within separate states. And
unless Germany is a willing and sincere
partner in this enterprise the League of
Nations will be failure, for it's success
must rest upon it's universally. With
Germany out, it is no more than per-
petuation of the existing alliance against
Germany. Moreover, Germany may

In war and in peace, in all human
