with those in the present French Govern
ment who believe as M. Clemenceau be-
| leves.
M. Clemenceau does not share Mr.. Will
sons faith in the league of nations. He
doesn't believe that permanent peace is
attainable He looks for future wars and
says so with admirable candor. Marshal
Foch expects new wars. He has just
been warning the British to prepare.
| And if there is anything upon this earth
that can do more than anything else to
encourage such distrust and such hope
| lessness it is the sort Of document that
the President of the United States has
just presented to the Senate for ratifica-
ton.
There is no misguided member of a
himself newly assured under such an ar
rangement and no clique of mercenaries
bent upon new adventures in commercial
Imperialism which would not be newly
heartened by the knowledge that the
three mightiest world powers were armed
for its protection.
Reasoning a little further, it is plain
that France itself-that is, the vast, in
artculate mass of the French people-is
considered not at all. What Mr.. Wilson
proposes to do is to strengthen the pur
poses and the hands of group of men
who even now are reconciled to the pros
pect of future wars in which those who
know nothing of treaties must inevitably
suffcriand die.
The treaty is one of two things. 1t is
a sentimental sham that is likely to have
a disastrous effect on opinion among the
restless and dissatisfied peoples, in and
out Of the league of nations, who are not
included in its provisions. Or it is fiat
and frank departure from the principle
of the league of nations and one that
tends certainly to lead those who make
it into a war against half the world. 1t
is new mystery of Paris.
AS warning to Germany the treaty is
fantastic and superfuous. Germany is
done with fighting for a generation at
least. Clemenceau knows this. Mr.. Will
son must have known it.. No nation not
composed entirely of madmen, if it were
able to fight, would venture to risk
the organized wrath of the nations in
the proposed league to enjoy a triumph
that could last only during the time re-
quired for the council of the league of
nations to meet and take a vote.
On the other hand, the treaty sets a
precedent for alliances within the league
the sort of thing that Mr.. Wilson used
to loathe and disdain.
If America, Britain and France can
have separate alliances, why should not
Italy and Japan and, ultimately, Ger
many have agreements of their own? Is
it to meet the prospect of such alliances
that we are asked to ratify the Anglo
French treaty?
1t is a rule of diplomacy that each new
agreement nullifes those that preceded
it. Opposing alliances in the league of
nations would put an end to all hopes
that sprang from Mr.. Wilson's promises.
And thus the man who has done most to
put life into the league of nations would
have been the first to nudge that grand
scheme on the way to a sorry end.

TIE USED to be colonel, but owing to his
IL splendid war service is now Brigadier
General Cyrus S. Radford, depot quarter
master of Philadelphia. Like Brigadier
General c. l.. McCawley, now stationed at
Washington, but who visits along the Main
Line, General Radford has been interested
= in the development of the Philadelphia sta
ton, and it has certainly grown. If these
officers had their way the marine corps would
occupy very large part, If not all, of the
new army dock and storage piers at Phila-
delphia. Both the Army and Navy Depart
ments have been stirred up over this stua-
tion. And it develops that the future use
of the army port terminals is being considered
by committee appointed by the secretary
of war This committee has not yet reported,
hut there is a strong probability that
eventually some provision will be made to
take care of other departments of the gov
eminent which desire storage space on such
extensive army piers as those erected at
Philadelphia.
