his league Of nations, it was prepared
to give aim such amendments as the
political situation in America de
manded; but in return II now asked
OF him his assent TO the material and
practical conditions which had taken
shape in his absence. Above al, they
demanded that he should subscribe TO
the European idea OF German RESPONSE
blllty on the financial side, and to the
provisions made in the secret treaties.
But these European demands, leri-
innate, since II they were not salts

wars and harbor all old resentments.
While the Jugo-Slavs, the Greeks and
the Chinese were equally certain to re-

In this situation Mr.. Wilson had to
choose; he might retire from the peace
conference, he might remain rigidly
faithful to his fourteen points and
his dream of a peace of Cancellation.
But retirement meant the collapse of
the whole still unborn league of ma
tons, and it meant in addition politi-
cal difficulties at home, which require
no emphasis. That he debated doing

he found the threat of going was

Europe Has No Faith
In n orld League

There is another fact that is equally
there never was, save for one brief
emotional moment coincidng with the
Presidents arrival in Europe on his
first trip. any real belief in the league
ment masses OF people, suddenly re-
lieved from the immediate agonies Of
the conflict, still broken with their
suffering, looked to the President as q
man from another world come to per
form miracles, transform empires
abolish age-long rivalries. In the re-
action from the horror of the war, men
and women turned with strange
moving of utterly transitory faith to
the President Of the United States.
But this moment passed almost in
stantly. If the British, French and
Italian people we're for moment
transported out of themselves, they
quite as suddenly returned to their
normal condition. If the British peo-
pie desired permanent peace they did
not in the least subscribe to the idea
that they themselves and not the Ger
mans should pay for the war;, for the
wanton destruction on land and sea.
The English people were not willing
that the Germans should rcestablish
themselves in their old colonies along
British waterways-that German ships
Should replace British ships sunk by
submarines
As for the French people, they knew
that the sole hope of French solvency
lay in compelling the Germans to repay
for devastation, and they first de-
manded that military protection should
be gained with victory. Italy, in the
same fashion, resolved to build her
future along the Adriatic Europe was
resolved from the outset upon Euro
pean settlement. Only America, with
small losses set of by enormous eco
monte gains, would ever think of a
peace Of conciliation

And at the outset of any examination
of this difference it is essential to note
the primary fact. In the United States

Diplomatic Triumph

Now, In all this situation, which re-
suited in the greatest diplomatic tri-
umph in all British history, it is very
hard to separate accident from design.

quently urged, that the British under
took to deceive or manipulate the
President and the American repre-
sentatives. They did not believe in the
league of nations any more than the
French, but they saw, what the French
failed to see, that friendly and sym
pathetic association with the President
promised to pave the way to something
eminently Overwhelmingly, a perma-
nent Anglo-American alliance, in fact,
if not on paper.
They saw with equal clarity two
other things. They saw that there
was very real likelihood that cham
pionship of the Presidents ideas would
remove the possibility of a clash over
such issues as the freedom of the seas
and the possession Of the German col
onies- Henry " once said of his
change Of religion that France was

that American friendship, accepting the
President as representative of America
was worth any amount of sympathy
and aid to the President in furthering
plan which, whether practical or not
was without peril to British intere SITS
and had an appeal to certain elements
in the British population.
The other thing the British saw
with the greatest clearness was that
the war had changed the position of
America. Britain, victorious though
she was, had been crippled financially
and economically; recovery, if certain
would be slow; America was potential
rival, certain to occupy something OF

some time to come, certain to be the

nations, which was to make war impos-
sible in the future.
The Allies were equally resolved up
on peace which should so far as it
was humanity possible repair their
losses and heal their gaping wounds.
II Americas idcalistic experiment was
possible, alike in view of our history
and our contemporary condition, for
Europe 1t was impossible alike because
OF traditions and immediate ciycum-
stances
But given the essential facts, the
diplomacy of the great powers, Britain,
france and Italy dealt with the Amer
lean proposal in totally different fash
ions. particularly at the outset. The
British on their part, with supreme
good sense, elected not to oppose Mr..
Wilson, but to associate themselves
with proposal recognized by most of
them to be decidedly impractical, and
gain thereby the incalculable advantage
of new and closer friendship with the
United States. The French honestly
but moderately proclaimed their lack
of faith in the Wilsonian doctrine,
while the Italians stood coolly aside,
insisting at all times upon such ma
tional benefits as they had material
claims upon.
The result was inevitable. In the
briefest time the British and American
representatives in Paris were working
in closest harmony. Cecil, SHUTS and
half dozen other British and Colonial
representatives were framing the CO.
venant of the league of nations, while
between the French and American .ep-
resentatives there was in existence and
between the Italian and American rep
resentatives there was growing up an
estrangement which shortly endangered
the peace of the world.
