Rejection of Treaty Would

system Centuries Old

British delegation at Paris accepted
the Presidents decision. They ac-
cepted it as further detail in the
policy to please America by satisfy
ing the President. They. continued
their course when Mr.. Wilson ruled
against Belgium and took the league
of nations to Geneva; they joined
with him in opposing French occu-
patton of the eft bank OF the Rhine
or annexation of the Sarre Basin,
they stood with him against Italian
possession of Fiume. They really
broke with him only over repara-
tions, and this was a matter of life
and death for Lloyd George person.
ally.
The extent to which the British
supported Mr.. Wilson at Paris led
ultimately to q certain resentment
on the part Of the French and to an
open denunciation on the part OF
the Italians. Orlando is reported to
have suggested to Clemenceau at one
moment that France and Italy, with
the ultimate adherence of Rumanla,
form Latin bloc to counter
balance the Anglo-Saxon duo, and
the Paris papers murmured against
an Anglo-Saxon peace.
But these protests were ephem-
eral. Lloyd George really placated
the French, although he had at least
one bad quarter of an hour in which
he openly threatened to take the
conference away from Paris, by his
support of their demand for an An
plo-American guarantee and his
championship of their right to oc-
cupy the Sarre Basin. lnsensibly,
but surely, Clemenceau, influenced
by Jusserand and Tardieu, was led
to accept the British view that pleas
ing the President meant enlisting
Americas aid.

millions more Of American troops

sion. But these troops seem less
available now, while the German IS
still there.
In any event France and Great
Britain have to agree upon the terms
of an alliance which will include the
defence of the soil of France, Bel
pium and Luxembourg. Great Brit
ain may still advocate the Wiisonian
doctrine of abandonment of the
Rhine barrier, but any such advo-
cacy will have to carry with it spe-
cific pledges in the matter of British
divisions, available on the first sug
gestion of a new German attack.
France and Britain will then have
to consider the case Of Italy. If
Italy joins Germany in a new war,
France and Britain cannot hope for
victory. and without American all
will probably be doomed to defeat.
Therefore it is essential that
Italy be brought into new alliance
such as the last war created. But
this can only be done by supporting
Italian claims in many regions,
particularly in the Adriatic. Anglo
I French opposition to these claims
was at bottom based upon the policy

4 Nptr. Alliance

We shall have then, an Anglo
French-Ttalian alliance, which WI!
be the successor of the old Ang' o.
French Russian alliance against
Germany Bat such an alliance will
be concerned about the independent
states Of Middle Europe. If Ger
many can again dominate Europe
from Hamburg to Belgrade. from
Berlin to Byzantium. all the old dan
gers will reappear. Therefore, for
London, Paris and Rome it will be
a matter Of utmost concern what Ru-
mania means to do, whether Poland
will stand, what Czecho- Slovakia can
contribute in the way of divisions
and guns to block German advances
southwark.
Thus inevitably we shall see the
new alliance recognizing Rumanian
claims to Bessarabia, Polish claims
in Lithuania, Greek claims in
Thrace and using necessary force to
compel the Jugo-Slavs to moderate
their Adriatic attitude and in any
event to give up Fiume. In place of
a policy based upon abstract justice,
no matter how it INJURIES your
friends, and without regard to the
advantages it bestows upon your in
durable enemies, We shall see de-
ve.op a new application of the older
principle of mutual association for
mutual profit and protection.

doubt that Europe will low react to

In point Of fact these were never

The league of nations could onl,

any subsequent parliamentary pro

to accept the British view that pleas
ing the President meant enlistlng
Americas aid.
Resentment
In the middle stage of the con-
ference there was much French re-
sentiment against the President and
his league purposes, but toward the
end this more or less died down, al
though the President never re-
gained the popularity he had en-
Dyed in the first moments OF his ar
rival. From start to finish the
French never had any faith in the
league of nations, but they were
reconciled by the treaty of insur-
ance, and they were convinced in the
end that the British policy was
wiser.
That the American Senate might
reject the treaty never for a mo-
ment obtained even respectful
hearing in Paris. In France and
in Britain foreign affairs are out
side the sphere Of operations OF
party politics, and the American
situation was ignored. Moreover,
Paris was filled with the friends of
the Administration and the cham
pions of Mr.. Wilson's league, VINO
consistently reported, and many OF
them at least honestly believed, that
the league of nations project would
receive American sanction when
the Senate at last received the
treaty.
