1.-THE resourcefulness of the Mexican soil had
never before been duly estimated either in this
country or abroad, until at the end of
prolonged period of civil strife, unprecedented in
the history of Mexico. Her vitality had been
evidenced, perhaps due, exclusively to her own
natural resources, which stood strong and un-

president Wilson's plan. which

OF dlpl"mats or governments rather

Our league would be a parlia-

elected by the people. one for each
mllllon population. No nation would
be allowed more than ten.
Wilson's league makes five big
powers dictators OF world affairs
through an executive committee

public opinion sufficiently into ac-
count.
Not all the representatives of ma
tions in Paris have been able to shake
themselves free of the old traditions
of diplomacy and statecraft and they
have not understood how necessary
it was to explain what they were
aiming at and how they proposed to
achieve their ends.
The conference has been widely &C.
cused of dilatoriness and lack of sys-
tenn, yet the most favorable estimates
could obtain in Paris, when the
conference first met, from responsible
persons qualified to express an apinion,
was that the preliminaries Of peace
with Germany would be signed early
in May and that the complete treaty
would be ready in July. and 1 doubt
II there has been any delay in the
work OF the conference owing to bad
organization. The tumble of COM
mittees and councils of which we read
has really been organized on n
logical system. The plenary confer
ence, which assemblies at rare inter-
walls In the great clock hall Of the

mands to. younger men of scientific
ability. They were late in making
these reforms and the Germans had
struck deep down into France before
they were made. And yet the Ger
mans failed on the western front.
Why?
To answer that question 1t is neces-
sary to take the whole of the German
war plan into consideration. both East
and West, and to analyze little the
peculiar psychology of the German
mind. In my opinion they lost the
war entirely by reason of their psy.

FOES OF PACT
SENSE WARNING
Doubtful League Effective
In Light of Present
Controversy.

Opponents of the league of ma
tions see a warning to America in
the Italian situation at the Peace
Conference. and the possibility that
it may be succeeded by a Japanese
situation based upon exactly the same
grounds.
While with other members of Con-
gre1 the leagues opponents are prac-
tically unanimous in declaring Pres
ident Wilson's course on Italy's de-
mands was the right one. they drew
from the occurrence a gloomy fore
cast Of the way the proposed league
will work-to Americas disadvantage
il ever it is formed.
Senators Borah and Pofndexter,
leaders OF the extreme opposition,
have expressed their opinions openly.
IF the five great powers forming
the charter membership of the league
cannot agree at the start on a ques-
ton OF territorial division, what will
happen later when many other and
more quarrelsome states have been
admitted?" these and other anti
league Senators ask
They declare the whole situation ap-
pears to prove that the hope of chang
ing European methods of diplomacy
overnight has been blasted, and that
America should take warning and

worse embarrassment

pressed last night, however. by SEN

Congress Of Vienna.
Just over a hundred years ago,
after the last great world upheaval,
the Congress of Vienna was attempt
ing the same task, but under very
different conditions. Then there were
no cables, Vienna was not filled with
representatives Of the worlds press,
every act of the conference was not
watched. reported and criticised.
Times have changed and it is today
no longer a question of obtaining ac-
cord between crowded heads; it Is
the peoples who have to seal the
pact; therefore the peoples must be
informed and discussion and criticism
are for the ultimate good. But criti-
cism in each country is naturally
mainly concerned with the interests
of that country. The United States
is chiefly occupied with the effect
of the treaty upon her constitution.
Great Britain If most anxious as to
her future position as Sea Power,
France as to the security of her land
frontiers and the restoration of her
crippled finances. Thus in each coun-
try criticising the conference is colored
by a particular point of view and the
cumulative effect of this has been to
produce an appearance of agreement
which seems much more formidable
than it really is. While each country
can and should express its own views
freely, it is only in Paris that con-
fiicting opinions can be brought to-
gether and reconciled. and until they
have been reconciled 1t is not easy
for our representatives to speak free
ly. They have the heavy task both
of carrying their own people with
them and of meeting claims and de-
mands in which their. own people
take little interest. At the same time
am of the opinion that the con-
ference has made two mistakes be-
cause they did not take the force OF
