Fundamentally, the league Of nations
which the English and Americans are
now agreed upon amounts to an
Anglo American alliance. And its
chief models have been fonnd in the
machinery OF the British empire as
it existed, and have been the con-
tribution Of Engfishnren.
Wars Costs Cut Deeply.
British policy has been actrsated by
the very frank recognition that the
war has changed the whole position
of Great Britain in the world The
costs in men, in money and in pres
tige of this struggle have cut very
deeply, the moral effects of the sub
marine warfare in its later phase of
last years desperate campaign have
left their marks UPON the English
men. Therefore, in turning to the
league of nations he turns to some
thing which for him does not mercy
have idealistic or Utopian value, butt
practical and solid value
In a world organized under the
league of nations the British empire
would escape some of its most diff
cult problems for the future and
would be assured of its maximum of
security in the time that is to come.
than of France or of Italy, whose con-
Germs are European mainly, after all.
French and Italian policies are there
fore far less professionally affected
by the league of nations question than
British. Both will be dragged along:
the French will make the necessary
contribution of clarity and logic. but

There are thousands OF Englishnen TO

choose. and they have with great readi-
ness yielded. and with great skill and

A quarrel between the British and the
Americans is impossible, so far as the
British are concerned. The league of
nations is inevitable, for while il is
an experiment in ideahsm for America,
it is a fixed doctrine Of foreign policy

Many Difficulties in Way.
But II is plain that there are many
difficulties in the way The first
peril, that the President might make
demands which the British govern
ment could not assent to, has disap-
peared. The President has shown
himself reasonable, conciliatory, lack
ing even in any plan of his own
clearly thought out, thrown back
upon the defensive for certain ideas,
and thus brought to accept a system
which in the main follows British
ideas; but will this idea and this

the United States become mandatory

If the Senate does not, then all

Continued from First Page.)

when she believed that both domestic
problems and imperial problems would
combine to insure her success. She
failed: but even in her failure she
transformed many conditions; she up
set the world that had existed, and
she has strewn three continents with
ruins of the ancient systems which
must be revised.
Now the chief concern of Great
Britain as an empire is India. India
begins at Gibraltar and at least ex-
tends to Hongkong. To protect IN
dia, now that Turkey is eliminated,
it will be necessary to deal with
Mesopotamia and Palestine and Syria
just as it was a generation ago TO
deal with Egypt. Unless there can
be some system devised which di-
vides responsibility for the MAIN
tenance of states like Syria and
Mesopotamia and Armenia, and stra-
tegic points like Constantinople. Eng
land will have to take most of them
to protect India, or else surrender
some of them to states who may
develop colonies of their own across
the vital pathway to the near east.
The Englishman was nearer to such
an adjustment before the world war
than any other European nation. HE
hopes that the league of nations Will
place the United States as the man
datory of the great powers in Con
stantinople in Asia Minor and IN
Central Africa. His ambition is not
to take German territory, but TO pre-
vent German territory from return
ing to Germany, or becoming for MIN
a burden beyond his resources.

at stake.
Ubiquitous in Helping.
British policy has fixed upon the
league of nations and coded every
thing which the President chooses to
make an issue. They have gone a
long way to persuade their colonies
to abandon even reasonable claims to
German soil. They have been ubiqui-
tous in helping everywhere. The
league of nations project was in dan
ger. and it is the conception of the
British that the future belongs in a
great measure to America, that CO.
operation with America is of the ut
most Importance to the British en-
pire, and that any solution of the
Paris conference which misses this
will be total disaster for Britain.
1t is not accurate to think of the
British as opposing Americans in the
matter of the league OF nations at any
point. Difference of opinion between
Americans and British on the league
of nations does not exist, and has not
actually existed. BY contrast IL has
been the British who have saved the
league OF nations. after the project had
been brought to Europe by Mr.. Wilson,

To Make League Useful.

Very frankly. therefore. Great Brit
ain at Paris is using the league or
nations and the association of Amer
lea to supply guarantees and but
tresses for the immediate and not too
encouraging future. She feels herself
not strong enough to add to her bur-
dens. SO colossal on, the imperial side
before the war, which in itself ex-
hausted such an alarming fraction OF
her resources in men and IN money.
She feels that alone among the pow
ers in the world the Americans could
take over a PORTION of these burdens
without threatening British safety
Therefore, from the first moment
after l reached Europe j heard on all
sides from Englishmen the same for-
muIa 1t was the duty of Am orleans
to square their principles with their
words: to apply the humanity and
idealism which was instinct in MI
Wilson's speeches; to stand ready to
do our part in the world, to bring or
der and justice at once and liberation
at the proper time to the oppressed
nations.
. The British view of the league of
nations which will prevail has already
envisaged a system of manufactures by
which the respective great powers
undertake the guardianship of waste
or unhappy regions of the earth, re-
sponsible to the league of nations on
the one hand. but authorized to ad-
minister the regions on the other.
Summon q. s. to Task.
Now some one must take up these

through Mr.. Wilson, has steadily OPP
posed the whole series of bargains.

etcetera, made before we entered the

these regions to several great pow

board, then by virtue of Mr.. Wilson'S

whole question is thrown open again

Europe will call upon us to accept re-
sponsibility for some of these found
lings.

with great astuteness. IL has ana

Two Women, Alone, Tour
1900 Miles in Cadillac

Mrs. NJ. NJ. Marlborough and her
daughter, Mrs. L. V. Cunningham,
both of Dallas, Texas, have appar-
emily set the record for woman mo-
torists. In the last two summers
their travels have amounted to H.
600 miles, and they are planning a
more extensive journey for next
summer.
In 1918 they thoroughly covered
the Southern and Eastern states,
travelling $4,000 miles in Cadillac
victoria. One set of tires sufficed
for the entire tour. Starting at Dali
las, they crossed the Southern states
to Florida, then north to New York,
to the White Mountains, across Can
ada to the Great Lakes, and south
again through the Mississippi VAL
ley.
This year their tour was not so
pretentiouS. From Dallas they
crossed the southwest to Los An
geles and return, a matter of 5000
miles.
On both trips they travelled alone,
doing all the driving, and depending
on men only for occasional inspec-
tions of the car. The Cadillac used
on these journeys travelled a total
distance of more than 100000 miles.
Both women are strong advocates
of closed cars for touring. The many
conveniences, and the protection
from inclement weather, offer strong
inducements to the woman motorist.
