Political Issue In America.

The greatest difficulty one has in
reporting the European situation to
Americans lies in the fact that the
league of. nations has become politi-
cal question In America. that the
Presidents success or failure in Eu-
rope, which is contingent upon the
success Or failure of the league of ma
tions, will be made the basis for po-
litical campaigning hereafter at home
Therefore, each respective comment is
examined for its political intent and
content. Yet it is no less necessary
for a correspondent on the spot to
present the situation as 1t exists and
as he sees it. In this particular Ital
ian controversy I think right-mind-
ed men all over Europe agree with the
position taken and the principles ex-
pressed by the President. They feel
that in championing the southern
Slavs the President has nobly ex-
pressed the American idea and the
American ideal, and that. whatever
the consequences of his gesture. he
could have done no other thing with
out compromising his essential prin-
ciples.
But. on the other hand. 1t Is no less
