LONDON, Feb. 1o.I have always had a
reverence for truth. What is more l owe it
to my readers to tell them the truth, for
that is the best way of justifying their con-
fidence and serving their interests. To my
great regret that truth that l feel bound
to set before the readers of The Tribune
as to the progress of the peace conference
is far from pleasant. 1t is even distressing.
/ have sought to subdue my personal feel
ings, that they might not be the support of
possibly false impressions, and in my
search for truth have this week taken pains
once again to talk with large number of
the delegates to the peace conference from
different countries, with French politicians,
and finally with plain French citizens hav-
ing no official position, but known to me
as just men, as men of good faith.

World League Discussion

assure you it is so easy to do that that
there is no merit in IT, If we are faced
by the extremely difficult situation that has
been pointed out, it is because there has
been an attempt 10 build house beginning

to talk Of and found a league of nations
before settling the concrete problems left
us by the war. More by token of its re-
suits, that had been foreseen, that you
may have greater confidence in what | say
to-day, let me quote a passage from my
article IN The Tribune of December %:
"Finally-and this is much more import
ant-to discuss these immense and IL
defined problems, such as che league OF
nations and freedom Of the seas, before
concrete problems are solved, would be to
do exactly what the Germans want. Inc
Germans count on the following sequence
OF events: Discussion of great questions
such as the league of nations and freedom
of the seas, will divide the Allies. The time
taken for those discussions will be lost
for the settlement Of concrete problems
that Germany fears, especially such as
reparation. The Allied armies, ceasing 70
believe in positive results from the nego-
tiations, will demand rehabilitation. Inc
question of reparation will be decided only
in principle and on paper. No police forcs
capable of compelling the Germans TO pay
their indemnities will be created. The Ger.
man people will pay only a very smsa
part Of the damage they have caused anu
keep a greater part of the loot of all xmas
that they have stolen everywhere dur'nS
the war. Under these conditions the iinan
cial situation of the European Allies shu

ne Real Reason for the Irritation of the French

of the conference to treat with the Bolshe-
wiki has stupehed and plunged into despair
an immense majority Of Frenchmen but
newly emerged from a terrible ordeal.
small minority of French Bolsheviki are
exultant The most ardent among them is
a man who during the war always, as
raost favorable to Germany-the "Defeatist"
Deputy, Jean LonguetS grandson of Karl
Maryland for this reason called Quart
de Boche.'
In "Populaire" of January "a he writes:
"The power Of that bourgoisie Democrat,
President Wilson, continues to be eXerted
with admirable tenacity against imperialism
unleashed in Paris, Rome and London. 1t
remains for the proletariat world, at its
gathering in Berne some days hence, to
proclaim, with sovereign force, that it is
Fundamentally with the chief of the Ameri-
can State for peace which, with respect to
the rights of all, shall leave behind it no
germ of future wars"
1t is very we'll thus to range oneself
against Imperialism, against new wars. All
the world might we'll subscribe thereto if
those who are we'll informed had not the
certainty that the Berne conference, in
bringing together delegates of Pan German
social democracy and of Germanophile de
featists of the Entente, disguised under the
name Socialists, is but a part of the great
German mannuvre looking to the recon
struction of Pan Germania.

Feeling of Uneasiness
General and Growing

AS a result of this inquiry l am able to
ing of uneasiness is general and growing,
and that uneasiness is sharply accentuated
among those who taking a direct part
in the deliberations of the peace confer
ence. These last testify to what an incon-
ceivabe degree the concrete problems aris-
ing out of the war, and calling for prompt
solution if dreadful suffering is to be
brought to an end, are set aside while the
peace conference gives its time to aca-
demic discussions.
That my readers may be sure that do
not exaggerate, let me pass in review the
practical results of the decisions already
reached by the peace conference, and then
set out the essential and undeniable facts
which face us and despite which the de-
cisions have been reached. This will allow
each one of us to see whittier we are going,
and why we are headed in that direction.
l wanted to find the real reason which
pushed Lloyd George in his desire to COM
pound with the Bolsheviki After going to
the best sources I have come to the con-
clusion that this real reason must be sought
solely in British domestic politics. In Eng
land in other countries, Entente poll
ticians have committed an immense and
unbelievable mistake in allowing the Brit
Ism people to believe that the signing of
the armistice was equivalent to the con-
cas'on of defnitive peace after de-
cisive and assured victory

announced that the forcble occupation of
territory during the period of the armistice
would not necessarily constitute title to
such territory. The decision seems harm
less, even just. In reality it is bound to
have very grave consequences. This dec
aration of the conference is, in fact, q
favorable reply to the more less imper-
ative protests made by the Germans against
the national organization begun by the
Poles.
Prussian Poland is territory incontestably
Polish, which, by all the declarations and
promises of the Entente, must pass into
Polish possession, and without which Po-
land would not be able to exist as an indie
pendent state. The declaration of the
conference has given JOY to the Czecho
Slovaks and not only the Germans of Ger
many but also the Germans of Austria. The
"Fremdenblatt" Of Vienna describes it as
of great Importance, constituting an un-
equivocal disapproval of the action of the
Poles and Jugo- -Slavs who are organizing on
a national basis.
Thus not long after having recognized
the Bolsheviki the peace conference issues
a statement which has every appearance of
being directed against the Slavs and Latins
of Central Europe, that is to say, against
the Allies whose assistance helped not a
little toward victory and whose organization
Independent states is the only way to
prevent the reestabshment of Pan-Ger-
mania
The results of the weakness and lack of
ference in the decision I have just referred
to have been immediate, as might have been
expected. This weakness was accompanied
by the rebrth of German aggressveness.
On the occasion of the ex-Kaiser's birthday
we find the "Frankfort Gazette" coming to
his defence and declaring that he should not
New-York tribune., 1919-02-16

be brought to punis shment. The "Deutsche
Allgemeine Zeitung" of Berlin also protests
against the bringing of charges against
William II.
What is more, his birthday moved the
German popular party to thank the ex-
Kaiser for all he did in the course of his
reign. An address drawn up wherein
occurs the following PASSAGE:
