the authors Of the invitation did not
consider what they would do In case
OF rupture or refusais. Is armed IN
terpention desired? Everybody re-
Jects 1t. Generalization Is so impa-
tiently awaited. Already many con-
ungents have been thinned. The in
tentions of the American senate were
clearly indicated. despite the split
vote. We are. therefore. confronted,
first, with a political and intellectual
impSssibility to negotiate; second the
material and military impcssibility of
action on the part OF entente armed
forces
Shall we remain inactive? II SO,
we viii pay dearly some day for this
inaction. not In Europe. hut In Asia
Perhaps it is possible to seek and find
a halfway solution which. without
having the vigor of an armed expedi-
ton. might help.
The entente owes itself It's victory
and It owes itself and others a aecur-
ity which desires to assure peoples
TO help civilization. We cannot inter-
vene in Russia except to end barba-
rism. But before doing so we should
have to reassure those entitled to re-
that the character OF such
action was purely moral one.
