Shall We Sell Our Birthrioht?

We have at Versailles conference on mill
tary policy. It should be possible, with an
empire and the security of the next gener-
alton at stake, to assemble at some place
group of authorized individuals repre-
senting the interests of the Allied powers
who would make it their Immediate and
exclusive business to take up the Russian
situation, determine on the objectives de
srabe and forthwith lind means for at
tanning these objectives.
The Germans have definite programme.
1t is working well. The first step was to
throw Russia into confusion so that Russia
should no longer be military factor. Next,
they wished Russia to become dependent
on them industrially. Peasants. famed to
fury by German propaganda, have reduced
Russia's industrial system to state of i'm
potence, which makes Germany the logical
seller to Russian needs. When the war
is over German agents everywhere will be
the first to start the reorganization of an
imrerialistic and autocratc government,

shakable In ten years or earlier we shall
see Russian German alliance again menac-
ing the peace of the world al dozen
points. All of these dangers are logical and
clear. The first steps have already been
taken by the Germans, and while the Allies
puzzle over policies the Germans have poll
cies. An offensive on the Western front
on an unprecedented scale has not diverted
them by hairs breadth from carrying on
their other business. Offensives never have
thrown the Germans off their ultimate
goals.
THE greatest question in the world to-
day is whether Russia is to be abandoned
or whether she is to be saved; whether
Western ideals TO prevail in the country
whose potential power VIII be the balance
in history. 1t is not a question Of years in
which to decide. It is matter now of

1--WE might suppose them to be photographs
taken during the last few months of existing
states sitting unconsclously for their por-
traits, did we not know that Guizot's lect-
ures were delivered in Paris in the wears
1923, 1929 and 1880. It would indeed be
difficult for any writer TO-DAY 70 portrav
more clearly and effectively the contrast ne
tween the socialism of Germany and the
individuaism of Russia the one as remote
from true civilization as the other than
Gulzot has portrayed that contrast in these
antcpatory portraits drawn nearly q CEN
tury ago.
"A state in which every man does very
nearly just what he pleases and differs little
IN power from his neighbor, but there are
very few general interests, very few nublic
ideas, very little system, IS al accurate de-
scrlption of the Bolshevki idea of liberty;
how quickly such liberty generates irrespon-
slble despotism the recent history Of Russia
once more illustrates, as it often has been
illustrated by past history.
mot less accurate is Guizot's prophetic
description of Germany IL is true that the
German people do not pay fett taxes: but
their external life is easy their material
existence Is happily regulated for sem by
their masters; the common people are
treated like focks OF sheep. well k-Dt and
materially happy. but without moral and
intellectual activity Material existence.
happily regulated for the people By thoir
masters, constitutes the German idea Of the
state; 1t not only regu ates their social con
duct but also determine their opinions aud
furnishes their moral law To see a people
treated like hocks of sheep, we!l kept and
materially happy but without moral and m
tellectual activity, inspires IN the hearts OF
the German at home curiously naive SELF
conceit and in the hearts Of pro Germans
abroad an equally naive admiration Of Ger
man efficiency. But if Guizos is right
neither the order Of Germany without ab-
erty nor the liberty of Russia without order
is entitled To be called civilization"

writes diplomatic correspondent of
"The Times" of London If we fore
see Russias true destiny in Europe and
help her to achieve it, he continues, the
ideals for which the bulk of the civilized
world has taken up arms will dominate
the world for centuries to come. If the
Allies continue to grope in the cloud of
immediate events, careless of the future.
the enemy, who has already laid definite
and tangible plans for the permanent
capture of Russia, will emerge from the
war with this, the greatest asset in world
politics, firmly grasped for generations.
And the writer continues:
Germany beaten on the field of battle in
France and left to consolidate her gains in
Russia will be d Germany that has poten-
the terms of peace wrung from her by an
Allied victory in the West. If we Allies
fight this way to a conclusion and fail to

upon the ignorant and uneducated masses,
until they succeeded in reducing Russia to
a state of intellectual confusion. sep
arate peace and the present anarchy in
Russia were the inevitable result
Having lost the price less Russian asset
through lack of timely action, the Allies,
with stoicism approaching stupidity,
turned their eyes from Russia and for all
practical purposes left her to her fate.
Without internal policy to guide her, and
bereft of the assistance which an Allied
constructive policy might give, she drifts
day, helpless and hopeless, a wreck on
the sea of history, while, methodically and
painstakingly, the Germans straining
every nerve to render permanent their tenn
porary advantage in the East The rest Of
the world, with its eyes upon the Western
offensive, contents itself wlth saying: nus
sia betrayed us. Let her go on her own
way
For want of definite policy are day
by day losing the chance even to rebuild
upon the ashes Of Russia We have lost
her cooperation already in the war. That
is bad. II we sit idly by and see Russia
drift into the hands of Germany the time
will come when we shall suddenly realize
that our chance in the East has gone for
ever.

pressions of the Bolshevik uprising of
last November at Moscow, he wrote, ac-
cording to a translation in the German
press:
"Shells were shot and stones thrown
without any sense or reason, and that was
the characteristic mark of the six days of
bloody fighting at Moscow. Upon the
whole, it was bloody butchery of the

who could give no reason why they were
killing. On the other side was small

Guizot's "History of Civilization," two
of those upon which the author bases his
definition and analysis of civilization:

life is easy, is full Of physical comfort;
they pay few taxes, they are free from suf-
fering; justice is we'll administered in their
