Imperialism at u Discount

IF the peace conference proceedings have
i made one thing more manifest than any
other, IT is the passing Of the old idea Of
land grabbing as result Of war. For this
result the world undoubtedly is indebted to
the United States. Perhaps 1t would be more
accurate 10 say that it is indebted to Wood
row w on, since he is not only the nation s
spok,a,,.i in the conferences now in nrog-
ress, but he moved far in advance of the
nation itse,l na this great issue.
Experience in dealing with Great Britain
might be cited first to show the tendency
which the peace conference adopted. When
the war ended in the signing Of the arm
isticc the whole British empire seemed a
unit against the return of any Of the Ger
man colonies to the mother country 1t was
as much unit upon the proposition that the
German holdings in South Africa be awarded
to it as part Of the reward It was to re-
ceive. This was the state of affairs when
the peace proceedings opened in Paris, but
in less than six weeks Great Britain was
induced TO forego designs on the South
African colonies and agree to receive them
under mandatory. That was a radical sur
render to make, and 1t aroused intense re.
sentiment in London for time, but eventual
~ this feeling subsidized, and tho reaction
placed the British people on the side OF the
anti-imperialists.
frances case came up next. 1t put in an
certain other German territory which II in
sisted had been taken by force way back in
1914 Moreover 1t wanted q moro or less
permanent title to the German area south
OF the Rhine, and the leading military
leaders supported this demand with great
vlgor But when the question came to
mai issue, the French statesmen found the
americans aligned against them and the
british standing firmly with the President
Franco finally accepted a compromise which
leaves the Sanr Valley and tho Rhine coun-
Try German, but which gives it certain tenn
porary rights in them until Germany has
discharged It's peace obligations.
The case OF Italy is TOO fresh in the public
NINA 10 require rcview. 1t sought the fruits
or conquest, not at the expense of enemy
nations, but at the expense OF a friendly
confederation, set up by the peace conference
and guaranteed an opportunity to live and
thrive by that authority The Italians are
perhaps more recalcitrant than we're either
the British or the French, and feel that thew
haYo been given less friendly consideration
by the peace con ference, but the fact is their
claims are less defensible than were those OF
their associates.
