to explain the summary shooting of

them hearing"
Another American conversant
with the situation at Plnsk first
hand in commenting on Listowski's
statement illumined the Pinsk
tragedy by giving me some exact
figures of the number Of soldiers the
Polish general staff maintained in
the city Of Pinsk on the day of the
massacre. He said
"For several days prior to April
5 the Poles were suffering humillat-
ing defeats at the hands of the Boil
shevist forces. They. simply had not
enough soldiers to match the Boil
shcvist troops. So hard pressed
were they on the front that they re-
duced the small garrison as Cen
eral Listowski calls it, which was
holding Pinsk, a city Of some thirty
thousand people, to only thirty-two
soldiers. AS the defeats of the
Polish troops were becoming more
humiliating and decisive officers and
men were infuriated on the one hand
and in a panic Oh the other. 70 ar
rest one hundred citizens at one
stroke was Il great mistake, but il
was greater mistake to arrest them

Couldn't Ask France
To Sacrifice Security

In this situation, therefore, the Brit
ism and Americans were bound to take
heed of the French contention. 1t was
unfair, it was impossible, to ask France
to sacrifice security, her own security.
on the mere hope that the league of
nations might prove what all men hoped
1t would be, but few men were able to
believe 1t would be. The United
States, with 5000 miles Of sea separat-
ing it from Europe; Great Britain. with
the Channel forbidding invasion, could
not ask France, with an open frontier
toward the Germans, to refrain from
giving this frontier it's strongest pos
siblc form in the interests of the An
glo-SaXon experiment, which was the
league of Nations, without giving
France an assurance that if the expert
ment did not work the total cost would
not. be paid by France, that German
armies would not again come down to
the very outskirts Of Paris before real
aid arrived
Moreover, second consideration had
Importance. The view is still strongly
held in Europe that had Germany be-
lieved in the crisis Of 1914 that Great
Britain would enter the war if she
attacked France or invaded Belgium
she would not have begun the war.
Certainly the results of the conflict
have demonstrated that the entrance Of
Great Britain promptly and Of the
United States ultimately into the strug-
gle made German victory impossible
and resulted IN the present crushing
disaster.
Therefore. it is believed and argued
that were Germany convinced in ad-
vance that an attack upon France
would mean q new war with Great
Britain and the United States she
would not venture upon such gamble.
More than this, recognition Of this fact
would contribute largely to preventing
the growth in Germany Of a new policy
Of aggression and Of militarism, and
Germany, finding herself confronted
with the certainty of finding three
great nations in arms if she should
wantonly attack one Of them, would lay
aside the policy Of war, the idea Ct
militarism, the gospel of Prussianism,

Everything Toe Lofe,'

Mem York Tri5rll,.


An article in the "Vossiche Zei-
tung' warns the scheidemann govern
ment that if it would prevent the ruin
of Germany it must satisfy the viii OF
the people by more active steps
towards Specialization than meetings of
commissions behind closed doors and
the Finance Minister'S juggling with
the old kind Of taxes. "Whether it be
right or wrong. specialization is the
will OF the German people The ar
ticle continues:
"The people require deeds and not
soft words. 1t is to be hoped that it
is not already too late There are
plenty Of examples that should serve
as warnings. The people were told too
late as to the real position Of the war
The overtures for peace were made
too late. The abdication OF the Kaiser
came too late. The present Govern
ment gave place in the Constitution
to the Council Of Workers too late.
Attempts at Specialization were pre-
scribed too late as sedatives for strik-
ers. The people itself has been too
late TO recognize that the government
and the National Assembly are unable
to prevent civil var"
The article advocates an immediate
naturalization of ali raw materials
and means of production, the forma-
ton Of a state credit system, the as
surance to the people that the era Of
private exploitation is over, and at the
same time d warning TO the people
that the hours Of work cannot be in
definitely reduced and the rate Of
wages raised. Germany must work for

Italian Concessions
Would Not Be Realized

Italian concessions, if there be any,
to Jugo- Slavia will not be realized,
since the Italians will rightly recognize
the possibility Of German advance to
Trieste and the Adriatic, with Jugo-
Slav assistance. All the various com
promises based upon the idea that
justice in the settlement would be sus-
tained by the solidarity of the coun-
tries making up the league of nations
would disappear. Euroke would make

Right TO Repel
Aggression Proposed

Every state has the right to repel
armed aggression by its own efforts
without waiting fer the action OF the
league.
These proposals." comments "The
Times" "if they had been put forward
by Germany in the plenitude OF her
power, and with record of forty years
of peace. might have been judged I'M
practical, but would have deserved and
received the most respectful consider
alton. Coming from Germany in her
present position. they appear only as
an attempt on the part Of a detected
criminal to escape the consequences OF
his crimes.
According to "The Times" the Ger
man press, almost without exception.
choruses approval, praising the truly
democratic nature of the German
scheme, the inclusion of all the powers,
the equality of great and small, the
scientific pacifsm inspiring its pro-
visions, and contrasting it with the bu-
reaucratic, one sided, and temporizing
league of the Allies. The ''Tacliche
Rundschau,' however, says that the
PRONUNCIATION of the scheme is onlv
another instance of the manner in
which the present government Of Ger
many has lost the sense of actuality
which guided the policy of Bismarck
1t points out with unusual clarity that
the scheme of the Allies is in fact
compromise between what they might
regard as theoretically perfect league
and their conviction that it is still
necessary to secure the world against
Germany. Under such conditions the
German proposals viii receive no con-
sideration. and it declines even to be
at the pains to compare them in detail
with the proposals of the Allies The
"Deutsche Tageszeiting" takes a SINH
lar view.

and old considerations. But this would
mean within certain period a new
war, and new war would not fail to
involve the United States.
To-day the United States has PLAYED
the decisive role in Paris. President
Wilson's influence has on the whole.
despite temporary fluctuations, been
the strongest single influence in the
conference. The war gave to our coun-
try a position hardly paralleled in
modern history. Its possession of the
financial and material resources Of the
world enabled it to speak with au
thority and compel the nations associ-
ated With US in the war to bow to that
voice. The treaty of peace which has
been made has been framed almost
uniquely with the idea of satisfying
President Wilson's demands-demands
which were based upon his conception
that world peace could only be assured
by the creation Of league of nations
based upon just settlement
But President Wilson has recognized
as all reasonable men must, that the
settlement thus imposed carries with it
responsibilities, and he has recognized
these responsibilities in his pledge to
present to Congress proposal that the
United States shall agree to come to the
aid Of France if she is attacked, now
that she has been rendered substan-
TALLY offenceless by being deprived of
her military frontiers IN order to con-
form to Mr.. Wilson's ideas.

Foe Must Join TO
Make 1t Effective

More than this, it is patent that the
league >of nations VIII be- no more than
an alliance OF the nations which have
defeated Germany, in which the va
rious neutrals of the last war may en-
ter, until such time as Germany and
her allies become voluntary members,
accepting its principles in the spirit in
which they have been framed. But it
IS impossible, as I have pointed out, for
a period Of at least fifteen years, dur
ing which some measure Of a condition
Of war win subsist and Germany will
be under duress and constraint
If, therefore, the structure of the
league Of nations is to be preserved, it
can only be preserved by some such
guarantees as an Anglo-French-Amer-
lean pledge would constitute Nothing
IS more possible than that Germany
will seek to escape from the payment
Of Preparations fixed by the treaty Of
Versailles. Nothing is more certain
than that she will seek to erect an
alliance in Europe composed Of Aus
tria, Of Hungary, Of Bulgaria and Of
Russia. To this alliance she will en-
deavor to add any people which finds
itself dissatisfied with the decisions
taken at Paris. She will seek to enlist
the Italians, if they are dissatisfied
with the Fiume settlement

tional peace and the association OF her
victors for application of the terms Of
the Treaty of Versailles.
Now, the precise purpose OF the asso-
citation between Great Britain and
France is manifest Mr.. Wilson, rep
resenting his country, has come to
France. He has been the most con-
spicuous and most influential personal
ity in the peace conference. He has
imposed upon Europe his fourteen
points, which have become the basis of
the peace settlement.

France Insists on
The Rhine Frontier

Marshal Foch and every French sol
der has expressed the opinion, equally
held by American and British soldiers.
that France can defend herself against
Germany only if she possesses the
Rhine frontier militarily. The same
authorities have held that German dis
armament, provided for in the treaty
of peace, can be realized only by eff
fective Allied supervision OF German
military affairs inside of Germany.
President Wilson has demanded that
France lay aside both these essential
conditions of safety in the interest of
the success Of the league Of nations.
France has consented to do these
things, but only on condition that, in
place Of the guarantee Of the Rhine
frontier and the supervision of the
military establishment Of Germany,
there shall stand the assured aid of the
United States if France be attacked.
If this should be refused l do rot be-
ieve the Rhine will be evacuated; l do
not believe that the league of nations
experiment would be made on the Con-
tinent, and I am satisfied that within
the briefest time q new system Of alli-
ances would spring up and all the
hopes expressed in the league Of ma
lions would disappear
Enthusiastically this was the convic
ton of Mr.. Wilson when he gave his
undertaking to NJ. Clemenceau Such
are the European facts affecting the
