plotting those who were weak for the
benefit of those who were masters n
overlords only by force of arms.
There could be no peace until the
whole order Of central Europe was
set right.
MEANT CREATION
OF NEW NATIONS.
That meant hat new nations were,
to be created-Poland, Czecho-Slo-
vakia and Hungary, itself. No part
OF ancient Poland had ever in any
true sense become a part Of Ger
many or Of Austria or of Russia.
Bohemia was alien in every thought
and hope to the monarchy of which
she had so long beer an artificial
part, and the uneasy partnership be-
tween Austria ana Hungary had been
ore rather nf interest than of kinship
or sympathy. The slavs. whom Aus
tria had chosen to force into her en-
pire on the south, were kept TO their
obedience by nothing but fear. Their
hearts were with their kinsmen in the
Balkans. These were all arrange
ments OF power, not of union or asso-
citation. 1t was the imperative task
OF those who would make peace m
make it in~telligently to establish a
new order which would rest on the
free choice of peoples rather tina on
the arbitrary authority of Hapsburgs
or Eohepzollerns.
More than that great populations
bound by sympathy and actual kin to
Rumania were also linked against
their will not to c~ongiomerate Austro-
Hungarian monarchy or to other
alien sovereignties and it was part or
the task of peace to make a new Ru-
mania as we'll as a new Slavic state
clustering about Serbia.
NO NATURAL
FRONTIERS FOUND.
And no natural frontiers could be
found to these new fields Of ADJUST
ment and redemption. 1t was neces-
sary to look constantly forward to
other related tasks. The German col
onies were to he disposed Of. They
had not been governed; they had been
exploited merely without thought or
the interest or even ordinary human
rights of their inhabitants.
The Turkish empire. moreover,
had fallen apart rs the Austro-4un-
garian had. It had never had II
real unity. Its peoples cried aloud
for release, for succour from unspeak-
able distress. for all that the new day
of hope seemed at last to bring, within
its dawn. Peoples hitherto in utter
darkness were To he led out into the
