valuable foreign properties. Some. par
migh gossi nI' prefer sooner orD or er later
TO dispose of some or their national
securities or assets rather than TO in
crease their Indebtedness TO us by the
acceptance of further loans; other
countries may have to sell in order TO
pay their debts because their national
credit has been destroyed. From tho
business point Of view. it would OBJ
Niously be TO our advantage To buy
assets Of This sort COR. as the case may
be- to make advances secured by such
assets with an option TO buy thcm).
instead Of taking AN unsecured long
term foreign government obligation.
i is more desirable for the United
states TO acquire, the electric light and
power plants, telegraph and telephone
lines, railroads. mines or other indus
trlai plants. than to advance to others
the money with which to carry these
properties; for whoever owns and con-

The Treaty Of London

c. ECREr treaties may be defcnsiblc under
~ the stress OF extraordinary circumstances,
but tho experience Of the allies with the
covenant entered into with Italy is Il fair
sample Of the complications which may be
incurred when nations bargain in star cham
her session for tho disposition of lands ana
peoples and trade upon rights and prcroga-
tivcs TO which they may not hold title. Cor
tainly this treaty has returned to plague the
powers which became parties to it, and il
has raised issues before the peace con ference
which threaten the harmony and the friend
ship which should obtain between nations
which have fought successfully side by side
IN great war.
The entente is not to be blamed perhaps
for dealing with Italy in this fashion Nor
can Italy be held guilty OF unworthy designs,
IL its associates in the making of this CON
rention are not cupabe 1t will be re-
called that Italy held aoof from the war
70: more than year. 1t seemed 10 be bound
TO the central powers by the triple alliance
but 1t consistently interpreted this alliance
as Il defensive agreement and one which did
not obligate IL to fight the side OF Ger
many and Austria in war which they de-
liberaely conceived and executed
ltaiys good faith in rcpudiating the triple
alliance cannot be questioned, il its later
allies agrcc-as they do--that the war was
of German Austrian origin. But after il
started Italy was pressed as perhaps no ma
ton ever was III the worlds history TO cast
its LOT on the side Of the central powers one
day. and the allies the next Finally ii con
Guided that the path OF highest interest led
10 an alignment with the entente but before
ii consented to take up arms with those
powers, IL insisted upon q written agreement
that its rewards were TO be recognized in
tho event OF victory
This treaty, it is now revealed was ma
terialistic in all its conditions. 1t promised
TO Italy Trieste. tho Trcntino, Pola and
dominating influence in the Adrialic II did
not include the ccSsion OF Fiumc to Italy how
ever. Russia. then in good standing as an
ally had made the fate OF the Slav peoples
Of Hungary the particular object of its solicit
iudc, and insisted that Fiume be reserved 10
the Slavs Italy consented to this under pro
test II seems, but it now contends that Russia
having turned traitor to the allied cause the
entente powers cannot make binding n DlcdCc
which was given 10 satisfy the Russians.
When this tanglc Of interests is con
sidcrcd and the possibilities OF trouble which
naturally proceed from secret agreements be
tween nations, ii becomes evident that the.
President stands. and has stood from the
start. on solid ground in his opposition TO
covenants of that sort. And il NAV he as

among European governments for many
generations TO come.
