 Must Do Part London, Thursday, Nov. 14.-A Lieutenant General Jan Christiau5 l Shuts entertained a party of Ameri-s ! can editors on behalf of the govern-A
 ment tonight. Addressing the guestas 1 he said the greatest and most fruit E 1 full fact of the great war had beens i the coming together of Europe andS l America. 1 "Old Europe is dead and a newa world Is slowly emerging" he said. E | Tn the upbuilding of this new world the cooperation of America is essen-8 tial. It is for the good of bothA 1 America and Europe that the formerH
 henceforth take an active share inH ] the councils of the old world andA l take up her burden in world poIiticsA America has become jointly respoasi-
 ble with Europe for the new orderH which will arise from the ruins otH l the war. America and Great Britain8 l are bound by the same great princi- < pies and ideals. Their close co-op- i eration henceforth will form the best l guarantee for the future peaceful de E velopment of civilization. 1 Organize Against Hunger. l When the great American repub- a i lie joined us in the struggle, it wasH E i not only with material weapons, but 2 ] with all that moral reinforcem entM which can come from the splendidH vision and moral enthusiasm of Pres ident Wilson. speaking on behalf of the people of the United States. HisM was the great vision of a League of @ Nations and our main concern nowA
 must be the saving of Europe for them future of the world. As we organized the world for victory, let Us now or ganize the world against hunger. ThatM will be the best preparation for the new order of international good feel ing and cooperation.
 ''The position is tragic in the ex treme. A whole world order is pass ing away There is danger of thingsN going too far and giving Europe a setback from which she will not re- cover for generations. The evils bredN E by hunger threaten not merely the old institutions, but civilization. We saved the soul of civilization; now let us s care for it's sick body. Enemy Needs Helping Hand.
 tod ifo@ of our allies, not only our small neu-N tra1 neighbors, but the enemy coun- tries themselves require our helpingA hand. Let us extend it in all gener- osity and magnanimity. The idea ofH organizing food supplies for those lands will help to purify an atmos phere cursed with war, hate and un- truth. It would all have been so
 much easier if Germany had fought@ a clean fight and not stained herM hands with such crimes, but even soM we must be influenced by the larger & considerations. 2
 I've must feel that in the call to S common humanity there are other E purposes besides the prevention ofw war, for which a league of nations isNI sheer, practical necessity. One ofHa the first steps must be to create an s OTSdHlNdllOn dSdllloL IlbllSSl ct5A4 Ia M tion all the countries where disaster M threatens. N
 Predicts League of Nations #
 The existing inter- allied machineryW which is the nucleus of a league of@ nations, probably will undertake this @ task. In the period of reconstruction M after the war, all countries, allied as neutral and enemy, will have to be N5 rationed for certain raw materials M Here again international machinery is m necessarily We thus are making W straight for a league of nations M charged with the performance oi@ these international functions. 0
 Then, as regards the primary ob- 8 ject of the league, from Finland to u@ Constantinople the map will be cov- # cred with small nations divided byM profound antiquities and most of M them with minorities conducive to in -Ms ternal weakness. We may therefore, M expect more dangers of wars in Flu Mz rope than in the past Therefore itN is imperative that we create an inter- Ri national organization to keep peace N
