" 7'OULD France be alive
wv to-day if the I'd Di-
vision of the A E F.
had not been flung into
the hreach.at Belleau Wood and fol
lowed up by every force at our COM
rnand?
Would the American Revolution
have been won OF woul ID these United
States still be colonies of Great Brit
ain if Rochambeau's army and De
Grasses fleet had not turned the
tide at Yorktown and off the V1r-
ginia Capes?
We can speculate as to both ques-
tons If we wish, and from narrow,
military point OF view there can be
Httle doubt of the answer Germany
was probably on the road to an over
wheiming triumph when our forces,
late, but not too late, arrived in
France In the 17SOs there was no
sign that General Washington could
win the heartbreaking war of the
Revolution until French aid arrived
But such speculation is of little
use, and it ignores vast and unas-
certainahle facts There was no
yielding in General Washington.
Against every form of treachery and
hardship and obstacle he remained
the same clear and stanch soul. If
need be, he might we'll have pro
longed the war until England grew
weary. So in the Great War. There
is no calculating to what heights the
French and English might have
risen if we had failed them alto
gether. They might we'll have lost
Paris, and yet won the war.

A Rare Parallel

What is beyond question, as we
know and see to-day, is that our
troops turned the tide in France in
1918 and won a war outright that
might otherwise have dragged on
indefinitely, to what end no one can
say. Equally beyond question was
the service rendered by the French
to the colonies in 1881. The sur
render of CORVALLIS could not have
been gained without the French
support on land and sea. And it
New-York tribune., 1919-08-10

under this treaty has been reto,d
lately by Ambassador Jusserand in
"The French and American Ipde-
pendence." He has quoted from
wealth of unpublished documents to
show the spirit in which the cxpedi-
tion headed by Rochambeau was
undertaken. When General Howe
occupied New York in 1776 Voitaira
wrote to a friend:
"The troops Of DR.. Franklin have
been beaten by those of the King Of
England. Alas! philosophers are
being beaten everywhere Reason
and liberty are unwelcomc in this
world
The feeling of the French expo
dition was "ardently American
but not anti-Englsh," M. Jusserand
asserts; and there is much evidence
to bear him oat. Turgot. the great
French economist, wrote to an Eng
lish friend in March, ITS, deplor-
ing the war with Great Britain.
which ought TO have been avoided
by England's abandoning "the folly
of its absurd project to subiugate
the Americans. 1t is
strange thing that it be not vet a
commonplace truth to say that no
nation can ever have the right to
govern another nation that such
government has no other foundation
. &an force, which is also the foun-
>atioS Of brigandage and tyranny"
Jf America Turgot wrote:
1t is impossible not to form
wishes for the people to reach the
utmost prosperity it is capable of.
That people is the hope of mankind.
1t must show to the world by its ex-
ample that man can be free and
tranquil and can do without the
claims that tvrantS and choatc of
all garb have tried to lay on them
under pretence Of public good. 1t
must give the example of political
liberty, religious liberty, CONNER
cial and industrial liberty. The
shelter which it is going to offer
to the oppressed of all nations will
console the earth"
Between the end of the American
Revolution and the beginning Of the
French only six years elapsed. Be
tween the American and the French
constitutions there were but four
years.
