the United States offered it's military
strength as a substitute, that is, if we
undertook to replace the Rhine barrier
by American armies which would de-
bark in France whenever Germany vio-
lated the terms of the treaty.
AS for the British, they were ready to
do everything in the world to assist Mr.
Wilson in applying his principles, the
American principles, to every other ma
tion in the world, but the President
learned with instant alacrity that a
discussion of the question of the free
dom of the seas was beyond the posi-
bilities Of the situation. In this, as in
the French instance, what was encoun-
tered was not a desire for territory, an
imperialism of the old Sort but the in
stinct for self-preservation. Britain
and France, each of them, after ter
rble experience which had fallen little
short of being fatal, insisted upon
guarantees against a return of the
danger which were not found in the
league of nations principles.

Italy at the Isonzo and subsequently,
invaded and wasted Nenetia to the
Piave. And they were not willing, like
the French, to take an American alll-
ance instead Of a territorial barrier
Here, then, was an absolute break be-
tween the Allies; one of our associates
in the war repudiatcd the principle
which was the foundation of all Ameri-
can policy at the peace conference.
Moreover, when the President appealed
to the Italian people over the heads Of
their statesmen, the people rallied to
the statesmen, demonstrating that at
least one people valued certain things
more than peace.
Before we emerged from the first
stage of peace making, therefore. it
conception, the essential conception of
the President, that the peoples of the
world we're prepared to make any sacri-
fee for reorganization Of the world
on new lines, was breaking down. Not
only were the German people manifest
ly unwilling to do justice to enslaved
races, but our Allies, the three great
western powers, all of them liberal
democraces, were not prepared to sac
ritice what they conceived to be the
conditions, the minimum conditions Of
national security.
In the case of Britain we had got
around the difficulty by dropping the
discussion of the freedom of the seas
In the case of France we had offered an
alliance to take the place of terri
torial occupation, military alliance
which was in conflict with the funda-
mental principle of the league of ma
tions. In the case Of Italy we could

and consent to the liberation of three
or four millions of their Polish sub
jects, long held in slavery and in the
first instance acquired by a piece of
international brigandage, beyond de-
fence; if they were determined to
regain the territory thus taken, to
resist the taking by every known
means; in word, if they valued what
they conceived to be their property
more highly than the new ideas, then
the thing would fall Of its own weight,
because the Poles would be compelled
to look for allies to preserve what they
had received as a matter Of right from
the Paris conference and the Paris con-
ference would have to rely upon force,
not only imm ediately, but for the
future. to protect it's decisions.
But it was manifest from the outser
that Germany, the German people, were
not willing to accept the liberation Of
their Polish lands, which cut their own
territory into two parts, separated by
alien lands. Moreover, it was equally
clear that the Austrians, the Hun
garians, the Bulgarians, all our enc
mics, were not more willing to accept
other similar settlements, even when
based upon equally just premises, with
any greater readiness.
This was, however, less Immediately
disturbing than the fact that soon de-
veoped that not only the recently hos
tile nations, but those countries still
united in the alliance which had won
the war, were not in the least disposed
to accept similar arrangements The
French. for example, were willing to
surrender their claim to the military
barrier of the Rhine frontier only if

The Decree Laid
Down for France

More than this, we told the French
that they must now, at the end of a
war forced upon them by the Germans,
after the fourth invasion of German
armies within a century, resign the
permanent maintenance of the only
safe military barrier against still an
other invasion, while we opposed their
acquisition of certain coal lands, part
of which had been stolen from thcm q
century ago. a a compensation for the
wanton and deliberate destruction of
their own coal districts about Lens.
Now, we did not. for reasons which
remain bit hazy, insist-although we
did suggest-that the British consent
to a change in the conditions of sea
power which, under the vague formula
of the "freedom of the seas" would
have, at least in British eyes, weakened
the one weapon essential to their ex-
istence, not alone as a great power, but
as free people.
In the Paris conference our represen-
tatives at various times opposed the
French, the British, the Japanese and
the Italian claims, while they agreed to
changes with respect Of Germany, of
New-York tribune., 1919-08-24

Austria and of Hungary which subse-
suppose the peoples Of these several
nations will accept permanently, since
in every case these changes placed at
least a minority and sometimes a ma
jority under hateful alien rule. In
the same way we did equal violence to
Greeks, the Southern Slavs and the
Poles.
| do not mean to suggest that in all
or any of these cases there was real
wrong intended. There were mistakes,
there were errors, such as Shantung,
the German Tyrol and the Slovenian
Hnterlands of Trieste. But, all in all,
the things we advocated were based
upon an honest desire to do substantial
justice, an earnest study of the ethnic
and economic facts and controlling
iesire to find some basis Of compromise
which would be fairest to all con-
cerned.
But it was inevitable that these vari-
Jus sacrifices demanded of the several
peoples would cause protests and en-
counter resistance; they could only be
achieved provided that the various
peoples affected were all equally con-
trolled by an overmastering and domi-
lant purpose to assist in the reorgani-
zation of thhe world on a new basis
on the abolition of war, on the sacri-
fee of nationalism to International
New-York tribune., 1919-08-24

find no solution, so the situation be-
came and remains a deadlock.
Then we encountered Japan in the
matter of Shantung. In this case there
was nothing to give even colorado
appearance Of a concern for national
security. China did not threaten Japan
and the possession BY China Of what
had been stolen from heeby Germany
would not add any new territory which
would give the Chinese an advantage if
they ever should plan an attack. Nor
was there any Japanese population in
Kiao-chou, as there was in Fiume and
Zara
No, the case was simple. 1t was the
same old desire Of great nation to ex-
pand at the expense OF weaker; it
was the old German principle of a
place in the sun But in the face Of
the japanese claims, largely because Of
the Italian experience. we surrendered;
we turned 100000 900 of Chinese over to
Japanese masters. In doing this we
frankly conceded that, so far as the
Japanese were concerned, the new prin-
ciples had no present application.
Thus, in the case of the four great
nations with whom we had been allied
or associated, the term is nothing. We
were compelled in four specific in
stances to recognize that the original
conception, the fundamental concep-
ticn, so far as the league of nations
was concerned, did not apply, and in
only one case, by Offering a military
alliance-itself in striking conflict with
the league OF nations idea-had we
avoided d complete surrender, either to
the needs of national security. in the
case of Britain and France, to the com
blned need of security and desire for
expansion in the Italian case, or TO the
undisguiscd imperialism of the Jap
anese.
But all these concessions and com
promises leading away from the league
of nations principles were but the prel-
ude to what was now to come OF a

Many Of These
Claims Are just

On the whole these claims advanced
thus defantly were just, or could be
defended with far more emblance of
justice than Italian claims or, for that
matter, British and French, which had
been allowed. The Rumanians asked
for Bessarabia, for Pennsylvania and
the Bana' whe,e their case for annexa-
tion was far better than that OF the
Italians in the Tyrol or Of France, on
the side of security, along the Rhine.
The Southern Slavs presented claims
which, under the league of nations
principles, were beyond cavil, since the
population was mainly Slav and the
economic relations were transparent.
AS for the Greeks, their claims were
ct least 1000 years old and in most in
stances had lost nothing by the lapse
of time.

But" said General Wingate, "now is
the time when the construction of such
a memorial can best be undertaken.
Every citizen who is past middle life

younger. All those, and the men who
themselves have served, will contri

the feeling is strong that Soldiers

the other hand, experience following
the Civil War reminds us that the
soldiers and sailors dwindles as time

A World Cropping

We may say that this idea, which we
call the league of nations principle,
vas predcated upon the assumption
that the whole world, as a result of
the terrible experiences and the in
efable agony OF more than four years
Of war, was seeking a new organiza-
ton of world relations which would
make a recurrence of this catastrophe
impossible; that the peoples, who in the
end control their governments, were
repared to make any concession to
their neighbors, to their rivals, to lis
ten to any compromise based upon JUS
tlce, which would abolish the old
causes of war.
Now, if this essential fact should
prove not to be a fact at all, then it
must be clear that the league of ma

dream. For if the French, the British,
the Italian, and, for that matter. the
German people, Were not prepared to
make very great sacrifices then the
old causes would remain, the old rival

of world peace prove illusory.
But what concessions were neces-

stance, the thesis which we proclaimed
in Europe.
We, through the President, asked
the Germans to give up territory taken
from the French, the Poles and the
Danes, which in several instances had
been in German or Prussian hands for
years preceding the American Revolu-
ton. We asked the Hungarians to give
up lands which had been theirs for
thousand years; we told the Italians
that they could not have a city and a
shore which had been Latin, which was
decorated with some of the most splen-
did monuments of Rome, some of the
most charming instances of Vene-
tlan architecture, and in which, in GER
