Republican Estimate Disputed.

THE Republican managers certainly
have been reduced to desperate
straights." said a statement last night,
issued by the Elkus committee for Mr.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1918-03-10

"The present war was begun with
out the slightest reference to the
establishment of such a superna-
tional authority or to the suppress
sion Of war, but solely to prevent the
balance of military power in Europe
from being distributed to the extent
Of creating a hegemony. And as
long as the world is ruled by rival
armies such calamities will recur
1t Germany were wiped off the map
tomorrow by deluge, the jealous
les Of which she has been the centre
would only be transferred to an
other focus.
"And what deluge could not do
q victory cannot do. By all means,
as Lord Lansdowne says, win your
victory if you can. But the more
glory you get by it the more will the
glory Of future victory over the
victor dazzle the military magma
ton. And do not forget that from
the heroic, patriotic, chivalrous
point Of view only towards ask for
immunity from wars or kick their
enemy when he is down lest they
should have to fight him again.
II take it that we are not only
able and ready to go on with the war
now until the Germans have had
their bellyful, but that if they like
to begin again ten years after, OF
two years after, we are as ready tc
take them on as ever. From the
moment that we finch from this at
titude we are beaten morally, anc
the physical contamination is only &
matter of time"
'Do you think that league Of
! nations to enforce peace is neces

sary and that the proposals of the
Pope, President Wilson, Count
Czernin and the resolution of the
German Reichstag should be consid-
cred as the possible base of negotia-
tons between the belligerents
"Not only is league Of nations
necessary, but, as l have just said,
an elaborate machinery of superna-
tional organization including su-
pernational legislature, a superna-
tional tribunal and supernatural
police. You will find it all worked
out, as far as it can be beforehand
in Mr.. L. S. VOLTS book on The
Framework of Lasting Peace,
which has been published in Amer
lea with a preface by me. A mere
negotiated peace to conclude this
particular war will do no more tc
prevent its recurrence than all the
former negotiated peaces.'
"Do you agree with Mr.. Bonar
Laws disagreement with the whole
tone of Lord Lansdowne's letter
and do you think that it is possible
for the Allies to inhict a knockout
blow on Germany if they go or
fighting long enough?"
mo. Mr.. Bonar Law made just
the same mistake that the old Lib
erals had made a few days earlier
about Mr.. Lloyd George. They
thought that now he had told the
truth they had him 'on the run,
whereas he had in fact won back {
great deal of the confidence he ha(
been losing. Mr.. Bonar Law shoulc
have known better than to fall intt
the same trap about Lord Lans
downe, who has simply wiped the
