What We've Lost.

What has been the result? Had we
imposed upon Germany in November
substantially the terms which we mean
to impose Upon her In April or May or
June, the German people would nave
known the worst, have been compelled
TO accept and would already be on the
a to adjust themselves to new con-
ditions. The Inherent sense of order
and discipline In the German people
would have reacted, as IT has on Two
occasions already, against disorder,
| against Bolshevism. Instead, there has
been no chance for the Germans hem
selves because Germany has been Grim
inal awaiting what may be a death
sentence. In such a situation, 1t is IN
concieyable that any man would under
take to tbegin plans for a new life.
The result Is that we have trans
formed Germany by our course into new
material of exactly the sort that Boil
shevism feeds upon; we may have de-
prived our natural allies along the east
ern fringes Of the elements OF nope
and confidence, We have performed a
order in Germany upon whom we must
depend II we are to have indemnity;
upon whom we must depend If Germany
Is TO be saved from Bolshevtsm. And
Germany must be saved from Bel

count, but because II Bolshevism

shevism, who needed only ii money
and our support and assurance of our
recognition of their ultimate demands
for the future, not merely to check Boil
shevism east of the Niemen and the
Dneister, but to throw 1t back upon
Moscow itself. Substantially, we have
permitted these peoples to d~isintegrate
and become themselves material Tor
Bolshevism, at home. Instead OF erect
ing a barrier against this flame coming
out of Russia, we actually assisted i'll
transforming these margin states into
iflammable material.
We can no longer count upon the
Poles, the Czecho-Slovaks, the Ruman-
fans and the Ukrainians as an adequate
or ever powerful obstacle to Bolsheviki
the possibility that Bolshevism will In
the next few weeks sweep into all Of
them and c~oncetvably overthrow all Of
them. We know that there Is coming a
Bolsheviki attack, We know that a
great offensive Is being prepared by
Bolshevists which nay at any moment
break upon Poland exactly as Luden-
dorffs gigantic offensive broke up on
the British just one year ago. We
know, too, that here is not in Poland,
thanks to our own folly, any adequate
power Of resistance.
Of defense. We have not only sacrificed
it, but we have risked the possibility Of
seeing our natural allies forced into
the ranks of the enemy. In this time,
what Of Germany?
The notion that Germany could go
over to Bolshevism was held by the
whole world to be preposterous at me
moment when Germany abandoned the
war. On two separate occasions since
then the elements Of order In Germany
have succeeded temporarily In. restoring
the elements of disorder which nor-
rowed the colors and ideas Of Boil
sheyism, but for four months we ave
been unable TO make even a preliminary
treaty Of peace with Germany, we nave
continually held before the German peo-
pie the extent Of punishment whlct
we discussed and intended TO infllc'
upon them. We have openly discussed
week after week, the indemnity WE IN,
we intended to deprive, of the ships
maent to seize; and we have inculcatet
in the German mind the idea that W.
proposed to destroy the future of Ger
many. And in the meantime we nav
done nothing.
