These things concern Italy rather
than ourselves We have no special flt-
ness for holding The scales between
Italian and Jugo-slav. But 10 does con-
Germ us 20 have Italy still march with

10 is clear that the Fourteen Points,

hypocrltical TO say that nationalism
has not colored decisions arrived at.
We Insisted On the Monroe Doctrine,
our faNorlte national dogma. The voice
Of Great Britain has been. Needed in
the disposal Of the German colonies.
The special position Of Australia in
the South Seas has been acknowledged.
Italy may well contend that her Adrl-
attic Doctrine is her Monroe Doctrine.
We elected Spain from Havana. and
hardly would have been satisfied II the
local Spaniards there had set up new
government and had said that the his
tory Of Spain should not be remem-
hered. Italy is apparently honestly
convinced that the JugO-Slays are not
much different from Austrians and
Hungarians with respect to hostility
TO Italy. Americans must face the
question Of what they would think IN
an Italians place
Great Britain and France having ap-
parently approved the American Of
fetal position, the presumption, OF
course. is that Italy is unreasonable.
But TO prevent a smashing OF the coali-
ton. TO keep alive the concert on
which everything depends. some un-
reasonableness by a friend may be
tolerated. The larger ends of the war
never must be forgotten. Not 10 ieop-
ardze them is still the chief business
of the Paris Conference. IL will be OF
little advantage TO make an impeccablc
argument If the practical results are a

Is the coalition 30 endure? This is
the question, rather than the dlspOsi-

HaIy's Prompt Answer
1FrOm The Now York SUM

All the reports from the cities Of
Italy Indicate that the FIRST result Of
President Wilson's unprecedented in
trusion into The political affairs Of
that friendly and sovereign nation
has been TO sOlidify public sentiment
IN support Of Premier Orlando's pO-
sition and to intensity the determine
tion 90 have Fiume at any cost. The
patriotic demonstrations everywhere
denote an Italy united in this purpose.
The King and the Parliament and the
masses are alike behind NittOrio Or
lando In his resolutc stand.
Now. this is about as far as any
thing that can be conceived from
what lir. Wilson expected when he
jumped with both feet into The purely
European question Of ltaly's future
in the Adriatic. Otherwise his in
comparable ilex.bility would have
found some slandindicular application
Of the sacred Fourteen Points suit
able TO The emergency, as he has done
in so many other cases concerning
the national aspirations Of Italy's al
lies. lie would have sought to avoid
a clash perhaps as destructive OF his
League Of Nations as might have been
a deadlock with Great Britain over
the Point Of the freedom OF the seas,
or over the embarrassing question Of
sclf-delermination for Ireland or for
Egypt. lie may have reckJned that
there was no more true inwardness
in Orlando's prOfessed intention OF
Withdrawal from the conference than
there was i'm his own implied threat
when he sent a hurry order for the
George Washington.
President Wilson must have be-
lleved either that the Italian dele
gates were bluffing or that the Italian
people beyond the Alps would arise
in wild enthusiasm and oyerturn Or
lsndos government at the call Of a
foreign statesman appealing to them
over the heads 0f their authorized
representatives at Paris. There Is

tion Of his audacious self-confdencs
unless we suppose that he had at last
abandoned hope Of achieving his main
purpose and had decided 20 put the
responsibility OF historic failure
as iar away from himself as possible
rms last theory we PROFOUND merely
TO declare It untenable.
It is a singular fact that twice
within about half a year 50 adrolt a
politician and SO frequently self-pro-
claimed al interpreter Of and spJkes-
man Tor popular opinion outside OF
official circles should have failed SO
conspicuously In the attempt to exert
that advantage Of high place and I'M
pressiye utterance OF which he wrolo
these words long ago when speaking
of the Presidency:
Ills office is a mere vantage
ground from which he may be sure
that effective words OF advice and
timely efforts at reform will gain
telling momentum. He has the car
Of the nation as Of course, and a great
person may use such an advantage
greatly"
His first fatal error in the applica-
ton OF his ideas OF a Presidents
function was the memorable attempt
Of October last to use that place 5f
vantage and that telling momentum
Of effective words 10 procure the cleo
ton Of a partisan Congress sure TO
support him in his plans Of world
reformation.
Is the secret OF the two mistakes and
the two far reaching failures contained
In that precept OF sincerity and unself-
ness which President Wilson address,

July three years ago when nc said
with Keen philosOphic insight: ~

be distinguished is sooner or later go
