AARlS, March 10.-What will
President Wilson find when he
IL returns to Paris? This is the
question which doubtless is being
asked in America at the present time.
TO what extent will the opposition in
American politics influence the future
course of the peace conference? While
the answer to the question involves more
or less speculation, certain things are
fairly plain.
In the first place, while the President
will hardly receive that same spontane-
Gus outburst which greeted him on his
first coming, this will be due solely to
the tact that such an ovation, in the very
nature OF things, would not be repeated:
but by contrast there is no reason to sun
pose that the President will not be well
coined exactly as heartily as if there had
been no domestic disturbance in America.
In fact, in certain sense, the Presidents
welcome will be the warmer because his
whole mission has undergone sea
change. He came here as the representa-
tive OF America in Europe, and to
very considerable extent his speeches in
America recently have made him seem
to be the representative Of Europe in
America. To suppose that the repre-
sentatives Of the various governments
in Europe will change their attitude to-
ward the President of the United States
because of the opposition manifested to
him by the Republican leaders In the
Senate Is to make mistake, is to mis-
understand the political situation In Eu-
rope itself. Were the leaders of the
various governments in Europe to change
their attitude and treatment of Mr.. Will
son he would Immediately become the
spokesman for the respective minorities
IN France, in England and in Italy.
The thing that is 40 difficult to tell.
and yet 80 unnistakable, is the fact that
for the masses of people in Europe Mr..
Wilson represents the United States he
represents liberal ideas, and he SYM
New-York tribune., 1919-03-16

and make it a part thereto, would GER
tainly arouse opposition and impatience.
My judgment is that it is the expectation
Of the American commissioners now in
Paris that the preliminary treaty of
peace will contain only declaration of
principle concerning the league of na-
tions.
In sum, then, President Wilson on his
return will find Europe with its mind
practically made up to the new arrange
ment of its own affairs, both territorial
and financial; he will find it a cordial.
sympathetic partisan of his fight in
America, but unwilling to postpone the
making of the preliminary peace to con-
form to political necessities in America.
One other circumstance is worth men
tioning. Practically every one of the
disputes between the various races, such
as that between the Italians and the
Jugo-Slavs, between Poland and the
Czecho-Slovaks, between the .Rumanians
and the Lithuanians, and between the
Greeks and the Italians, seems likelv in
the end to wait upon American arbitra-
ton, since we alone have no secret
treaties or established friendships to
prejudice our Judgment. Unhappily, the
position of the judge begets bitterness
rather Ian enthusiasm not infrequently.
and not few Americans tremble to
think of the unpopularity that may vet
come to their country as result of an
eminently fair decision in the case of
rival races whose rivalries are in manv
instances at least thousand years old.
We are, in fact, within two steps of a
preliminary peace which on the larger
side will be the real peace. We almost
know our minds with respect to Ger
many. we are nearly ready to let her
know our mind. When we have dealt
with Germany, what remains will be
relatively insignificant, and we shall be-
gin to emerge from that depressing and
paralyzing twilight zone which for four
months has separated actual war from
real peace.

man to his environment 1t might even be
said that the school itself grew, out of
fear of what might happen to human beings
if they didn't somehow relate their knowl-
edge to the facts of their modern life.
1t is difficult thing to describe a school
like that. A school for the teaching of
anarchy has it's obviously interesting points.
There are the laboratories for making
bombs, the school barber shops, where the
cultivation of long hair and boards is dem
onstrated, and the flag shops, where the
dyeing and sewing of red flags are taught.
All this is picturesque and of salient inter
est. Schools for the teaching of modern
art, including socialism, also Of deep
interest and disclose themselves easily TO
the observer. But here is a school that is
strangely lacking in these distinguishing
marks of modernism. Flamboyance, in man
ncrs and ideas together, is lacking. None
theless, it must be confessed that there Is

ton. His real state of affairs demands
new fear to make him surmount his en-
vironment and get contentment out of it,
But he has been fearing something that
was disposed of long ago and all his ef-
forts have been wasted This is again
warning to fear with intelligence and wake
fulness.
One would believe that education would
nave lot to do with keeping man the
right track Of what to fear. The Church,
which was the source of the meagre educa-
ton of the Middle Ages, was the custodian
of fears, and did very we'll at it. But the
world was simple in those days and it
ton, on the other hand, has had tremen-
dously big and complicated world to deal
with and it finally got so caught up in
with, and it finally got caught SO up in
some of its own professional fears that it
has had little time to point the way to any
first rate modern fears. For instance, prac-
tically every professor of political science
or literary science or artistic science or
legal, and any of the other strictly social
sciences, has spent most of his time driven
by the fear that he wouldn't have time to
teach everybody all the knowledge of the
past, or that he wasn't going to have time
to get it all neatly sorted out for those
who wanted to know the past, himself in
cluded. Something was bound to happen
to him, not keeping track of the new fears
that were coming on. Professors of prac-
tical science were good deal better off.
While some of them were still tinksring
with the laws of Archimedes man acci-
dentally discovered the power of steam
which was at once fine new fear let loose
in the world. They had to drop Archimedes
and get to work because of the fear Of this
new power, and they have been influenced
by the right fears most of the time since.
The other man in the main has been liv-
ing, sleeping, eating and drinking with the
old, worn-out phantom fears of yesterday.
Steam, electricity all tho great powers for
fear in the mechanical world, pricking men
OIL and up, have been putting up new
civilization around him, with new social
fears coming on around him and becoming
adult, and he has failed to notice what
was going on, so absorbed was he in his
vague yesterdays.
This couldn't continue, assuredly Here
and there some unprofessional person, un-
burdened by cares, would spy out some of
the new fears and would get fdgety about
them. Professors are dignfied lot, most
of them, taken up by lot of personal
fears, and few of them would pay any at
tention. Yet in time one of these natu-
rally unprofessional persons would get to
be a professor without losing his amateur
standing and would turn his attention on
these new fears. Out of this might per-
haps grow a new school, say School for
Giving Modern People tho Right Kind of
Fears Fitted to Their Time and Crcum-
stance.
Indeed, New York now has school of
this kind, young but fourishing, set down in
its midst. There are, of course, many
schools taken up with various kinds of
modern knowledge, preoccupied with various

A Victor,
But

Accordingly, Mr.. Wilson will be vel
coined heartily by the governments as
we'll as by the people. His speeches in
America have been widely approved in
Europe, and the possibility that Lloyd
George and Clemenceau will turn from
Wilson to the Republican Senate does
not exist. Moreover--and this thing
should be recognized in America, what
ever the fact may be--there is a pro-
found conviction in Paris that Mr. Will
son has already won his fight in the
United States. In a real sense he comes
as a victor. How accurate or mistaken
this conclusion is will be better realized
at home than here, where all our infor-
nation is fragmentary and unsatsfac-
tory.
But having said that Mr.. Wilson will
be welcomed heartily, will preserve his
prestige, will doubtless remain the most
conspicuous figure in Paris to the end,
it is essential to indicate that there has
been profound change in certain direc-
tions which will be felt in the immediate
future. When Mr.. Wilson first came to
Europe the world waited upon him
and his wishes with respect to the league
OF nations. When Mr.. Wilson arrives
in Europe this time he will find the con-
ference at Paris in the act of completing
preliminary peace which in all the
larger aspects will be a final peace.
In other words, to quote M. pichon,
the French Minister of Foreign Office,
"Action in the direction of a prclin-
mary peace with Germany is likely to
come sooner than any one expects" Tho
various commissions have practically
completed their work SO far as the
frontiers Of Germany arc concerned; the

vince any one that this is revolutionary
idea.
The compilation of modern knowledge, of
developing theories and philosophy out
Of and to fit the sudden growth OF new
modern facts such as an industrial life that
George Washington never caught glimpse
of, seems to be one Of the main objects of
the school.

houses, with front yards and grass and iron
gates in front of them 1t is, indeed,
gentlemanly old house, that quite bellies the
intellectual vigor and activity inside. In

severe old stairway and the bust Of Vol

young, not in the sense of abandon, but
young in the sense of being energetically

ing the fear of not knowing what is going

good many people of varied activities
seem to have been drawn together in their
desire to establish the new school. Among
the organizers are two novelsts, Winston
Churchill and Ernest Poole; Felix Frank
furter, who has been one of the chief fac
tors in resolving labor difficulties in Wash
ington during the war; Herbert c. Hoover,
Miss Pauline Goldmark, who is close
student of the status of women in industry;
Herbert Croly, of "Thc New Republic" and
women like Mrs. Willard Straight, Mrs.
Henry Brucre, Mrs. Thomas W. Lamont,
Mrs. Raymond Robins and Mrs Learned
Hand.

As q matter of fact society in the vulgar
sense seems to have little TO do with the
school. 1t is true that one or two closed
cars drove up one day to attend Harold
j. Laski's lecture on modern government,
but they shared their place at the curb with
home grown Ford without difficulty The
rubber tired attendance gave a very small
percentage out of the sixty or seventy peo-
pie who listened for two hours with inteli-
gent aspect, to Mr.. Laski's discussion of
civil service and the scientific organization
OF the business of government.
There was much that was startling and
revolutionary in this lecture, but neither
startling nor revolutionary in the sense
that modern bcwarsts have led all of US
to look out for. For instance, Mr. Laski,
who is a young Englishman who looks like

marked in his lecture that government,
any government, ought to think and think

problems presented by Russia there is
no reason why the peace conference
should not complete the European phase
OF It's task by the first of May, and leave
to various commissions the complex but
not inscluble problems of Asia Minor
and Arabia.
Now comes the big question. What
relation will the covenant of the league
of nations bear to the preliminary treaty
OF peace? The European nations, as |
have said BEFORE are quite ready to ex-
clude the Monroe Doctrine from the pur-
view of the constitution of the league
of nations, and to make almost any other
concession, provided only the United
States on it's own terms will agree to
finish its job in Europe, and, for the
time being at least, lend it's powerful
aid and it's even more powerful prestige
to the maintenance and upbuilding of
the new nations. But can these modifca-
tlons be made in time to permit the COW
enant of the league of nations as amend
ed to become part of the preliminary
treaty OF peace! | do not think so.
What seems likely is that the prelim-
mary treaty of peace will pledge all the
nations signatory thereto to participate
in league of nations, later to be formed.
This would constitute declaration of
principle Conceivably, President Will
son will oppose this, and insist that the
whole league Of nations be tightly bound
to the treaty Of peace, even in it's pre-
liminary form. Only in such case is it
conceivable that there may be differ
ence of opinion between the American
and the European representatives.
