THE DANGER TO FRANCE

Full significance should be given 10
Lloyd Georges declaration that Great
Britain would never leave France naked
in tho face Of an enemy. In other words,
for the immediate future. and for many
years to come, the policy OF the British
empire will be governed by close Ali
ance With France. This alliance will be
firmer than the Entente which preceded
the war. FIrIncr. because 1t will ba
more needed and more urgent The al
lance between Franco and Russia was
designed to countcrbalance tho Tripls
Alliance of Germany. Austria and Italy,
Russia has. for the time beinE. ceased
to exist as a military power. and 1t Is
not improbable that here potential ro'
sources will be more at tho disposal of
German leadership than of French lead

PROPOSED League OF Nations:

may be something that will never como
to pass but 1t Is n question quite So
riously discussed In the French and Itnl-
ion press, and Is worthy OF Sonsidcra-
ton.
Another eventuality Is the prospect OF
our having to maintain an army CT occu-
patton in Armenia, where. I understand,
we are to be a mandatory power.
still another Is the internationalizo-
ton Of labor wages and conditions l
cent see what our people have to gain.
I don't know whether I am for or against
the league, but do think that for such
a serious thing for our future we should
not Jump blindfolded. but the whole
thing should be thoroughly explained
and every man in our country given TO
understand what he has to vote for"
The above suggestions indicate very
clearly some Of the difficulties and aucs-
lions that are certain to arise in the
settlement OF the wars burdens, and all
OF which will be accentu led BY 2Ur ac-
ccptance Of responsibilities of an inter-
national character. II Is a logical
thought that tho world rcepon Abirfues

responsibilities arc Of such a pressing
character now that we recognize In them

is impossible to escape the convtc-
ton that much Of this werk was author
lied and completed in a haphazar6 and
reckless manner. Our facilities for man
ufactrring poison gases, for Instance,
were planned on a scale several tiraes
greater than the plants Of all the Eu-
ropean nations, and our powder and MI
milton plants were in something like the
same proportion. The losses from tbs
hurried construction Of these plants Will
run far up In the hundreds of millions,
