proposed league of nations as balance of
power somewhat akin to that of the Allies
and the United States in the present war
is regarded by these same sources close
friends of the President as merely another
method of characterzing the aims the
President has in mind to accomplish on
that issue
while seemingly at variance with Pre-
mier Clemenceau's pronouncement for the
establishment of balance OF power for the
same general purpose, the disposition in
official circles here to-day seems to be to
regard both addresses on the league of
nations idea as substantially parallel in
principle"
American newspaper opinion fell into
two main divisions-those who attacked
Clemenceau and those who sought to
reconcile Clemenceau and Wilson. "The

making Great Britain and the United States
underwrte the foreign policies of France
and Italy for all time.
$50 far as the United States is concerned
Mr.. Clemenceau could hardly expect that
his proposal should be seriously considered
by the American government or the Ameri-
can people.
There is possible argument which
could justify the American people in sus
tanning system that would plunge US into
all the political intrigues of Europe without
any compensations whatever. 1t would be
lar better to return at once TO the old
policy of isolation, under which we can
know the exact measure of our resnonsi-
bilities
even the most implacable American
critics of the league of nations are not
likely to be attracted to Mr. Clemenceau's
balance of-power' substitute"

speech
that whatever may be President Will
sons ideas as to the effective operation of
league of nations, France and with her,
apparently, England and Italy, will continue
to pin faith to the old system-national
frontiers solidy defended by forts and
guns.
"By implication all this is regarded here
as involving a return to the old system of
the balance of power, against which Mr..
Wilson pronounced so definitely.
"Such personal opinions as | have been

The stage has been magniicently set
for the drama. The democratic Presi

the royal train, with it's panels emblaz-

moment he crossed the Italian frontier
he was acclaimed as the world liberator
by the enthusiastic masses of the Italian
people. A reception rivalling that of
Paris and London was prepared in
Rome, and he drove through flag be-
decked streets and wildly cheering

1t is President Wilson's purpose, the

lloyd George Returned in
an Overwhelming
Triumph
NHE British elections were a ire

mendous triumph for Premier
n Lloyd George. In the new Par
lament of 707 members he will
have 5l9 supporters, clear majority of
331. But if the seventy-two Sim Fein
members carry out their threat not to
sit in the British Parliament, but to or
ganize an Irish Republic, with Dublin as
the capital, Lloyd Georges Parliament
will be reduced to 635 members and his
majority raised to 403.
There was no surprise in the Lloyd
George victory. The surprise came in
the Overwhelming defeat of the Asouith
Liberals, IN which ex-Premier Asouith
himself was carried under along with all
his principal supporters, including Wal
tef Runciman, Sir John Simon, Reginald
McKenna and Herbert Samuel. Not
only were no Coalition ministers defeat
ed, but most of them were reelected
by extraordinary majorities. Lloyd
Georges majority was approximately
$4,000 in vote of little over 10000
Winston Churchill's majority was 900
and Bonar Laws $4,000. Mr.. Asouith
was defeated by 1000, the victor being
Lieutenant Colonel Sir Alexander Sprot
who habitually stood against the Lib
eral leader, but whose candidacy in for
mer elections had been considered one of
the humors of campaigning, as Mr.. AS
quith had represented the constituency

of thirty-two years.
The pacifists were in almost every
case defeated by heavy votes. Among
the better known pacifsts rejected by
the voters were Philip Snowden. Ram

When the party OF scientists left
Anchorage, Alaska, on their way to

The issue is plain, the lines are

whoever has not declared himself
wholly and passionately against in
tervention has aided and abetted the
dark forces that are thrusting it on
the American people.
Every American must make his
mind up as to whether his nation is
TO become an empire or remain a re-
public; and every American must de-
eide whether or not Mexico shall con-
tnue to be free people, working out
its own destiny according to the spon-

takes that are the stepping-stones by
which a free people finally mount to
solidarity and creative peace.

verted them into weapons for their

They have not scrupled at inventing

that becomes frenzied to remove it,
