Justice Difficult to Obtain.
The absolute justice of purpose with
respect to Germany does not lessen
Our difficulties in realizing them. So
sist. for it's own existence will be inn
peri!ed, it will limos inevitably fall
before the extreme clements, if it ac-
cepts peace with the burden of many
billions OF indemnities. 1t cannot re-
sist mililarily, precisely as Russia
could not resist The unjust conditions
OF Brest-Litovsk. but it can refuse to
sign.
Nor is it easy to see how We can
negotiate until Germany has achieved
some form OF recognized government.
l..at is, until The revolution has been
general election. What is done by the
representatives of the present regime
may be ~repudiated by the nation.
Moreover, no settlement is conceivable
that leaves Russia out of the reckon
ing, and how are we TO deal with
i.ussia:
In one sense a peace congress is
simple. We have the power TO write
such terms as we please. to write the
terms which express our just claims
against Germany territorially and 9TH
erwise, but to enforce them with re-
spect of indenlnitiaS is another mat
ter. We can occupy German territory
as the Germans occupied French ter
ritory in 1871 and as the allies occu-
pied French territory after Waterloo.
but if a revolution like the Russian up
heaval is IN progress in Germany this
will not aid us to get indemnities.
Effect OF Revolution.
II what is now taking place in all of
central Europe should turn out to he
but the prelude to a revolution of the
Russian type, then n a negOtia-
ted at Versailles might prove q dead
letter, or at least would be suspended
for a long period of time while Ger
many was in the tilroes of revolt. and
the very consequences of revolution
might so destroy the economic fabric OF
Germany as to render payment impos-
sible for many. many Years.
! do not mean to be understood as be-
lieving that we can or should forego
indemnities; we have no right to ask
tiac French and the Belgians, wso have
been despoilcd by the Germans, to bear
the loss themselves. Blu / am trying to
set forth the reasons why the debate at
Versailles mas' be long, as most such
debates are, and why the agreement,
"Een formulated. nay be even longer
IN execution. Germany has lai:l down
her arms: she can fight no mere; she
will have to accept our terms. so far
az for.nal assent is concerned; but il
Germany follows the Russian example,
either before Or after the peace is
signed at Versailles. our problem will
have been only scratched. or not settled,
at the new congress.
