European idea of the balance OF
power will be profound.
The organization Of the confer
ence is distinctly agreeable to Presi-
dent Wilson.
Needs Support at Home
The only source of weakness
President Wilson has here is the
doubt whether he has his country
with him. Congress has beeen con-
tributing to that doubt. Moreover,
il had been handicap to him not
to be able TO push forward his plans
for feeding Europe, on which the
success of liberal program, meet
ing the spread Of Bolshevism by i'm
proving economic conditions, de-
pends.
Should Bolshevism spread is Ger
many. Poland and Austria, fear of
it would rise rapidly in western
Europe, and England, France and
Italy would demand to be saved by
force of arms. Thus the position
of France and reaction generally
would be strengthened.
Powers to Pay Equally
1t has been arranged that Amer
lea, Great Britain, France and Italy
contribute equally. Italy probably
is financially unable to do so and
the other three must bear the
burden, but Great Britain and
France are sure to put up dol
lar for dollar with America.
The situation is rot analogous TO
previous relief measures in Bel
GUM. OF $5OO,OO0,OOO used for re-
lief, Belgium received only S14,-
100000, less than 8 per cent, as
charity. The remainder represented
Belgian bonds held in America,
Great Britain and France. Great
Britain did more for Belgian relief
than America. True, the Allies took
a long chance, because there was
little hope at the time that Belgium
could pay. The same condition
exists now. We must take the bonds
of Serbia. Poland and Czecho-Slo-
vakia, Of little immediate value, and
bank on the rise Of these countries,
as we banked on winning the war
in the case of Belgium. to get pay
ment for the food provided.
