right to take precautions against a
third invasion, provocations which
involved territorial arrangements
contrary to the fourteen points.

Wilson at Paris promptly denounced
these British and French positions
as revelations of an imperialistic
purpose. This was gotesquely un-
true. At bottom both represented

Italy and Japan Also
Rejected Fourteen Points

Following the French and Brit

and japanese episodes. Italy pos

treaty with Great Britain and
France ard calling upon her Brit

made similar demands with sim

in both cases France and Great Brit
ain signified their intention to stand
by their written pledge, however
repugnant it might be to them. Here
again was ilrefutable proof that
two moro great powers had ac-
cepted only with fatal reservations
and limitations the American pol.

American Policy Viewed
With Suspicion by French

On the part of the French, Amer
lean policy is viewed and has been
from the start with ever-increasing
suspicion. American opposition, ia
tile in the end, to French demands
for PREPARATION, American hostility
to the French occupation Of the
Rhine barrier and the annexation Of
the Saar Basin, have provoked deep
resentment, while more and more
thoughtful Frenchmen have viewed
with alarm the fashion in which
France. by consenting to various
American decisions contrary to the
desires Of Italy. Rumania and
Greece. has been piling up dangerous
hostility to herself on the part of
these nations.
Meantime the Rumanians, quit
ting the Paris conference. have re-
sorted to arms to enforce their
claims, and in this course they have
he tacit sympathy of many French
men and the open approval of the
Italians.
We have. then. in eleven months,
during which we have endeavored to
impose upon Europe an American
conception Of what just peace terms
should be and of how the world
should be reorganized to secure
peace, failed in the case of Great
Britain, France, Italy and the Jan

Resentment in Europe
Toward American Policy

On the other hand, can it be said
that the German feels more kindly
to US or is more willing, except I'M
der duress, to accept the decision OF
the Treaty Of Versailles? Does he
not, as a matter Of fact, indct US as
nation for having failed to fulfil
his conception Of the meaning Of the
fourteen points? Does he not hold
Us responsible for having persuaded
him to surrender and then. when he
had grounded his arms, allowed his
enemies to despoil him? As to Aus
tria, Hungary and Bulgaria, dis
membered however justly, the two
former reduced from the conditions
of really great states to that of
pitiable municipalities. is il conceiv-
able that they will either regard the
present settlement as permanent or
have anything but hatred for the ma
ton which to all outward appear
ance, Al least, dominated the Paris
conference and accepted responsible
ity for its decision?
IN sum it seems TO me hat the
course Of American foreign policy
in Europe between the signing Of
the armistice and the present mo-
ment has resulted in the creation
OF a resentment, rising 10 bitter
dislike in many eases, in all Eu-
ropean nations. We are to-day as
unpopular among our recent asso-
clates, with the possible exception
of Great Britain, and for obvious
reasons. as we have been and re-
main among our recent enemies.
Our solutions for the future reor-
ganization of the world. accepted
only after modification IN the be-
ginning, are now being set aside
both privately and publicly. A
peace of understanding, - procure
which we went to Europe, has not
been had. The Germans. the Aus
slians. the Bulgarians and The Hun
garans are not reconciled to the
peace terms. most of all to those
peace terms which conform most
closely to the fourteen points.
Rumanan troops have seized
Hungarian cities and territories;
Italian troops still remain Dalmatia
and in tiume More and more Eu-
rope IS going back to the old ia
miliar method of dealinG with its
problems, and. what IS more deplor-
able Of all that effort on the part
Of the United States TO contribute
TO making peace permanent and to
abolish hatred is resulting in the
concentration Of European dislike,
to use 10 stronger word, upon the
United States.

Not only this, but every associated
nation was, by reason Of its recent
losses and war expenditures, bound
to seek in America still further
loans. still greater aids. Mr.. Will

in the world in effective military
resources and in unimpaired tinan-

this precise moment still feeding
millions of French, Belgians, Poles
