SUCCESS Of WORLD
LEAGUE DEPENDING
UPON U.S.PEOPLE
CONTINUED From First Page

take up the responsibilities, which, TO
the English mind, are inherent IN
Americas advocacy Of the league Of
nations Itself. There will be a feeling
that America has been unwilling to
make good her brave words by difficult,
but necessary labors,
What do the French expect? Substan-
TALLY this, that the United States will
organize and maintain an army avail
able for immediate transportation to
France to protect France in co-opera-
ton with the British and he French
armies provided the Germans shall re-
fuse to accept the principles OF the
league Of nations. and presently return
TO their old methods OF militant i'm
perialism, at this time expressed by re-
publican rather than Hohenzollern ar
mics.
The whole view OF Europe is too
simple, and yet too clear, to be mis-
understood.
Mr.. Wilson came to Europe repre-
sentipg himself to be the spokesman
Of America, to demand that Europe
should accept American ideas Of a new
international association in which moral
rather than physical force should pre-
vail and the settlement of the last war
should be had, not on a basis of TAX
ing extreme military precautions
against the enemy. but on the ho7i'
Of making a just peace, eliminating
causes for future war.
Europe, at the end Of the most con-
siderable war in human history, was
in a realistic mood. Left to itself, II
would have drawn a treaty of peace
based on the idea that it was necessary
to take every physical %precautior
against the enemy. Europe would have
made a peace based upon the preser'
walton of the alliance between the ma
tions which had fought Germany, based
upon the idea of preserving this ALI
ance by mutual recognition OF the ex'
IRENE claims of each of the allies. II
other words, nothing seems more GER
tain than that if America at the peace
conference had pursued her traditional
policy of not intermixing in European
affairs, Europe would have made an
other kind Of peace.

Wilson Changed All.

But Mr.. Wilson, representing himself
as the spokesman of the will of Amer
lea, came oVer here and substantially
served notice upon Europe that the
peace of Versailles must be a totally
different thing from the old settle
ments, that American ideas about the
peace of Paris should prevail. He rep
resented a single nation not exhausted
by war. He spoke with authority which
for Europe was almost absolute, and he
has had his way up to the present
moment in forcing the conference at
Paris to lay aside European territorial
and financial questions, until the new
organization of society was at least
sketched in accordance with his own
ideas.
But Europe, on its side, in consenting
to accept Mr.. wilson's leadership in
this matter. in c%onsenting to break with
those traditions, in giving Mr.. Wilson
a sketch of his league OF nations which
he has taken back to America, has done
all this with equally clear view. Obvi-
ously, it would be unnecessary to take
extreme precautions, territorial and
military, against Germany il for the
future all the vast resources of the
United States were pooled with those
Of France and England and Italy in a
new association in which each member
was prepared to do his utmost If any
member were attacked. The foundation
| OF the lea ~ of nations, from the Euro
| pear point of view, is a defensive al
lance between England, France, Italy
and America, for the purpose Of main
tanning the principles expressed in the
league Of nations.
If the United States is not prepared
to go this length, il it is not prepared
to accept manufactures in Asia and
Africa, if it is not prepared to keep a
standing army, an expeditionary army,
strong enough so that in cooperation
with the British army two divisions can
be put down in France within IA days
for every one division Germany raises
in excess of the French establishment
then for England and for France the
league of nations is still born, another
scrap of paper, an utter dead letter.
The practical application Of all this
is patent. If President Wilson shall
| succeed in %persuading the American
people to become, with France anc
! England and Italy, co-guarantors OF
the league of nations, prepared to de
fend both nations and principles asso'
ciated. prepared to accept part Of the
burden Of giving the smaller peoples
| chance to organize and become self
governing and s~elf-sufficient then Pres,
ident Wilson may come back here ant
exercise an influence in the
latter phases Of peace-making, and The
ideas and principles expressed in The
league of nations will dominate through
the whole intricate and difficult process
of ~reorganizing Europe and the rest o
the world.

Washington. Aug. THE govern
ment's new antitrust suits against
the five great meat packing concerns
is being brought by direction of Presi-
dent Wilson as one of the first results
of his study of the cost of living prob
lens. It became known today that
the president came to his decision
after a careful study of the investiga-
lions of the federal trade commission
and the hearings before congressional
committee considering bills to control
the packing industry. Conferences
with members of the federal trade
commission and Attorney General
Palmer followed. The announcement
by the attorney general that the suits
would be brought was the immediate
result
No final decision has been reached
as to whether the suits will be brought
in the civil or criminal courts or in
both. 1t seems likely the prosecution
will proceed from both angles.
