problems which have vexed the
foreign Offices OF Europe for years
before the war have disappeared
when the rival claimants have
been brought together before the
Council Of Ten.
Peoples SuII Selfish.
Unfortunately it is impossible to
bring the peoples who are the ulti-
mate arbiters of the great prob
lens together in the same way,
and il Is therefore more than un-
fortunate that the means by which
the opinion of the public in one
country is made known in another

number of cables at work is lin
tied. and still greatly occupied
with government business; mails
are slow and irregular. and the
restricted resources for the dis
tributiOn of information are much
concerned with keeping us abreast
of what is happening in Paris.
The people of one nation hear of
strong views expressed by the peO-
pie of another, but can do little
more than guess at the causes
which produce these views.
In default of explanation and
of full knowledge of the cir
cUmstances and difficulties of
the others. each people judges
such decisions as are reached
or such proposals as are put for
ward. almost solely from its
own standpoint. and is tempted
The Washington herald., 1919-04-13

to be suspicious and impatient
of such of these as appear to
favor those others at their ex-
pense. The result of all this. is
that there have been much
greater differences on questions
connected with the peace out
side than within the congress
of Paris. and far less opportunity
than usual of explaining and
removing the causes of these
differences.

mention the tremor of APP
prehension which ran through
Great Britain at the mention of
freedom of the seas, the per-
sistent and almost querulous
complaints of the French press
that the security of France was
being neglected for quite sec
ondary matters, and the unrea-
sOnable cry of. Italy for a great
expansion of her frontiers.
Ailments Nervous Exhaustion.
THE root cause of almost all
these differences and complaints
is the nervous exhaustion of Eu-
rope. For four and a half years
she has set her teeth. held her
self in. and endured grimly, with
u stoicism which has surprised
herself, a strain which might
well have broken a ruder civ
ilization. Now the danger is
passed. and she is beginning to
let herself so. Without the
check of the supreme need for
self control. which has hitherto
kept her steady she is passing
through what our French
friends call crisis of nerves.
Her citizens whose power of
feeling and of expression has
hardly themselves aware how
utterly abnormal have been the
conditions under which they
have been living, and they are
for the time incapable of ap-
preciating and discounting their
effect.
Great Britain has sent during
the war more than so per cent of
her sons between 10 and 40 years
of age abroad. Factory hands
and farm laborers who have
never before left their native
town or village have fought in
the wilds of Africa. in the Hima-
layas. in remote corners of Per-
sia. in the Arctic circle. have seen
the Pyramids, the Mahdfs tomb
at Omdurman, the ruins of Baby
lon. and have trOd the Holy Land,
while the great mass, who have
not adventured so far afield. have
come into daily contact in
France. Belgium and Germany
with habits, customs and ideas
which have been entirely new to
them. 1t requires little imagina-
tiUn to picture the far-reaching
and for the time disturbing effect
of this upon a people conserva-
tive by instinct and welded to
custom and tradition.
