Treaty Represents
Three Points of Vietp

There is a third circumstance OF
major Importance. The treaty of peace
as drafted represents three thoroughly
distinct points of view--American
British, Continental. The American
point of view was comprehended in the
Presidents insistence on the league of
nations as a basis of peace. The Brit
ish was comprehended in dominating
desire to preserve and expand Anglo
American friendship, and the only less
controlling necessity of preserving in
innate association with France as
guarantee against possible German
aggression in the future The French
point of view was one in which secu-
rity and reparation were prevailing
motives.
Looking to the future, France was in
capable of relying upon any paper ar
rangement, any still untried expert
ment in international association, to
protect her from a new invasion, and
she was bankrupt and ruined unless
Germany were to be compelled to pay
for reconstruction in her ten devas-
tated departments
The conflict of these three points of
view was immediate, inevitable, and
has dominated the whole peace situa-
ton. AS result we have a compro-
mise, compromise to be criticised, as
all compromises must be, as a sacrifice
of essential principles of all three con-
ficting elements. Mr.. Wilson's Ameri-
can ideal of peace, without bitterness
for the future, has been modified al
most out Of existence by the economic
burdens placed upon Germany, burdens
which ought of right to be placed upon
her, but as they mean long standing
economic servitude of the country. will
questionably promote as great bit
terness as did the annexation of terri
tory in other wars.

1t is useless tc endeavor to define the
Presidents exact position toward Euro
pean rcvolutionaries. 1t is even con-
ceivable that Mr.. Wilson himself has
not reached any final formulation. But
two things are clear, namely: % That
some of President Wilson's statements
Of very general character, which could
not be misunderstood and could do no
harm here, have been seized upon by
the revolutionaries of Europe as clearly
demonstrating that he is behind them,
and (2) that some of Mr.. Wilson's
trusted agents have been so openly
sympathetic with these revolutionists
as to give them reason to believe that
President Wilson was with them.

Wilson Yielded in
Mandatory Issue

1t is unnecessary to linger over
other compromises. To the impera-
tive demand of the British colonies,
Mr.. Wilson has yielded, and accepted
the mandatory system which, in fact,
means a transfer of German colonies
in the main to the British Empire.
Such conditions as are put upon this
transfer are illusory. The truth is
that Britain, France and Japan will
hold the German colonies as they hold
their own, and as far as Germany is
concerned-and this is the capital
point-she loses them completely and
without hope of restoration.

man people. Erzberger demands that
Germany shall not be dsarmed except
as other nations are disarmed agree

ference and the Frel.cn labor unionists

President Wilson,
We are not surprised to find that
Brockdorff- Rantzau uses the same eX-
pressions employed by the Western
revolutionaries about the restoration
of the German colonies and free trade
and the freedom of the seas Ever
since the agitation for a compromise
peace with Kaiserism in the summer
of 1917 growing faction of all the
Entente Socialist and labor organiza-
lions has been taking the German
point of view, and that faction is now
and England.
President Wilson has undoubtedly
striven to secure the support Of the
European Socialists and labor unions
for the settlement of the war and the
organization of the world on demo
cratic basis. 1t is impossible to see how
his fourteen points could have been
better formed for this particular pur-
pose.
How then, does it happen that Euro
pean Socialists claim that they had the
support of the President for the notori-
GUS Berne conference--at which two
thirds of the delegates showed them
selves to be pro-German by voting for
resolution whitewashing the Social
lists now in control Of the German gov
eminent, while the other third demon
strated their pro- Bolshevism by
threatening to withdraw from the con-
ference in case of any condemnation
of the Russian reign of terror?

ing league would be Holy Alliance.
Like the French Confederation, the
British Laborite leader insisted that
the league must have a parliament
with authority-but only moral
authority, for it must not be an inter
national executive"
His motive is clear. An international
parliament would be the best field in
the world for the propaganda Of Boil
shevism and near Bolshevism. An
international executive, on the other
hand, would confne itself to construc-
tive and democratic labors, such as
the organization Of international peace
and sof international cooperation in
economic affairs, which wuWa cut the
ground from under the Tee of those
who propose world wide dicta torship
of the so-callcd international.

Treaty OF Peace
Not a Settlement

The treaty of peace, then-and this
is the capital points not settle
ment. The only things that are settled
actually are the TRANSFER of the Ger
man colonies and OF A,sace-L Lorraine
on the territorial side All else, eco
nomic. political and territorial. Ia con-
ditioned upon the operation ~ COM
missions of the league of nations and
upon the continuing solidarity of
Great Britain, France and the United
States. Without this guarantee, each
of the questions will be reopened
within a brief period of time, since
to reopen them will be to serve the in
terests of more than 6O000,0G0 of peo-
pie. The idea that this is peace
founded on justice is correct, but the
idea that this justice, which spells ap-
proximate ruin to great power. will
be accepted by it willingly now or in
the future is totally false.
There was only one way to make a
peace of goodwill, and that was to re-
frain from imposing upon Germany
any of the just costs of this war If
we had left Germany intact and solvent
she might have accepted military de-
cision. She might have consented to
be partner in the league Of nations,
but to do this would be to commit a
crime against each Of the nations which
were forced to take arms to defend
their existence against German aggres-
sion. We have put the murderer under
the restraint of authority. We have
compelled that murderer, by sentence
of our court, to make such restoration
as is possible for his crimes of muir
der and destruction, but it would be
futile and dangerous to believe that
the sentence which we have imposed
will be accepted beyond the limits of
| our power

armies, it has no fleets. In theory, it
was to become complete within
relatively early time by the entrance of
Germany but in fact this would mean
Germanys voluntary agreement to sub
NIT to terms which avery German will
regard as a sentence Of death I do
not think any thoughtful men can
imagine that Germany will accept the
economic conditions of the treaty of
Versailles with any greater willingness
than the French accepted the pro-
visions of the treaty of Frankfort, or

Every day brings additional dis
pushes showing that European labor.
which had supported Mr.. Wilson's four
teen points and the league of nations,
has turned against the peace treaty.
The British Labor party declares the
treaty SIS opposed to the declarations
Of faydn.t Wilson," while the French
ooc'aihs press repudiates it as "a
peace Of oppression and injustice pre-
pared by capitalists and impersalists. :"
At the same time "vorwarts,D the or
gan OF the Socialists now in control
Of the German government, declares:
we must trust the international pro-
's'ariat to bring real peace. The En-
'eh's' which. through President Will

SO much for the fact that this is
primarily an economic punishment of
Germany. Now, in the second place.
this peace cannot be a settlement ex-
cept in the narrowest sense, because it
settles nothing. 1t only arranges
method of settlement. 1t leaves it for
the future to enforce terms. 1t adj
jures, in all essential cases with minor
exceptions, the liquidation which
hitherto has promptly followed war.
Therefore, it is impossible now to 90
beyond the statement that if the terms
of peace can be enforced and are en-
forced it is a just peace. But it may
be generation, granted that Germany
does accept the treaty of peace, be-
fore anybody can measure it's real

Continuing application
OF Force To Be Needed

We have, then, so far as Germany is
concerned, made kind. of treaty of
peace which can only be imposed by
force, for which execution can only be
assured by continuing application CT
force, and it is puerile to imagine that
Germany will abide by the terms of the
treaty Of peace one day after the force
behind them is dissipated.

On the Trail of
the Best Silks

First--it was a certain grade
of white habutai that one of our
own employees wanted. The price
here seemed high, so she made a
tour of all the other stores. Every
where else the quality was poorer
or the price more sometimes
both) so she came back to Wana-
makers and bought the silk she
saw first.
We have the finest of Japanese
white habutais at S5c, $1.15, $1.35,

Second-a silk merchant from
another city came in and said 81

in such quantities, of course, be-
cause we prefer saving them for
