A plea that the Jewish people Be
represented at the peace table so that
terms may be drawn and enforced to
prevent their further persecution was

at the one spot absolutely vital to
the Boche, the key to his whole po-
sition, the place where he had to
hold at all hazards. our boys went
up against the real thing.
Remains In Force.
Nearly half of the whole German
strength was massed there against
them and the Boche so weakened his
line along the rest of the front that
the French and British made spec
tacular advances day after day while
the Americans gained ground foot by
foot and lost lives by the thousands.
Now lthat 1t is over, those who
know the facts know that the answer
to the question Of what caused the
marvellous difference between March
and October Is America"
They know that when we came in,
the French and the British, too, were
all in,' and that candid acknowledge
ment of these facts does not in any
way detract from the terrific sacri-
fees and heroic fighting of the Brit
ish and French in the three years be-
fore we came in. Nor does il i'm
pair recognition that the British
feet saved us as well as the rest of
the world. The point is that in the
end we turned the trick with our
armies on the battlehelds and that IT
the field OF diplomacy 1t was the
American President who threw the
monkey into the German in
ternal machine. whereby proving as
effective in bringing about the col
as the military forces.
What England Demands.
so far as we are concerned, repre-
sentatiyes OF this nation in Paris say,
all our cards are on the table. We have
nothing to put over We are asking
enduring peace based on Justice and
we are not playing game either for
ourselves or for anyone else. Great
Britain wants a just peace all right
but she wants Great Britain to be
the policeman with the club to en-
force this peace, and she is preparing
to cling to her position as the domi-
nant sea power of the world as she
clings to life.
There eare some sound and excel
lent reasons for her position in this
respect, but the American view in
Paris is that her resistance of any
suggestion OF feet disarmament will
force US into the big naval game, and
that, once having abandoned our atti-
tude of aloofness and played a part in
world politics. we cannot AFFORD to
permit any nation in the future TO
hold stronger weapons than we hold.
There are Americans here like
Admiral Sims. for instance, who do
not share this view, and think II is
absolutely all right that the mastery
of the seas should be in British hands,
contendInE that Britain will never
use that weapon against us nor for
| any purpose sve her own protection,
| and that dominance as a sea power is
ESSENTIAL to her very existence. and
that she is thoroughly justified in
holding to II. Others here strongly
disagree. They say that from an
American standpoint that view is not
sound.

This raises an interesting ques-
