MIR WILSON'S THREAT

II Mr.. Wilson made the threat OF !ear-
ing the Paris peace conference" ar"
returning. nc acted the par, Of a spoiled
and petulant child. II he did not max"
the threat. the busybodys Of advisers
who surround him have put him in an
entirely false position. 1t Is. perhaps.
Mr Wilson'S misfortune that he seems
unable to associate with himself m-a
of independent thought and action. Dur
ing his entire public career his Official
family has consisted of small men who
simply did his bidding. In the peace
council he has met strong men who hav:
had their own views and who have had
the special interests Of their own peo-
ple to look after These men have
doubtless accorded Mr.. Wilson all tbs
respect which his great position entities
him to They have. nevertheless, stool
sturdily for the interests Of their own
countries and for the lines Of action
which seem best TO them. To say the
least. it Is not an cdifying spectacle 10
sec the president OF the United States
acting among such men and at such =
gathering like an overgrown baby a q
child's tea party.

IN The SHADOW

America stood just as much in tho

France. Italy. or any one Of the lesser
allied nations.
Had Germany won the war we Would
have paid just as heavily as they.
In fact America would have borne
the lions share Of the cost.
For America alone had the money 10
pay. And Germany knew it.

lions in mind.

have meant our prosperity smashed to

She wanted effective restriction,
