What Remains To Be Done at the
Peace Conference Is Far More
Than What Has Already Been
Done----Many Danger Spots
By Frank H. Smonds
5 By Frank II. Sirnonds
T T IS, perhaps, a mere truism to
remark that what remains to be

TT is. perhaps, a mere truism to
remark that what remains to be
done at the Paris Conference is
far more considerable alike in bulk
and in Importance than what has
been accomplished in the treaty with
Germany. Still, there may be a GER
tain surprise in pointing out that the
treaty recently signed disposes of
less than 10 per cent of the territory
which must be apport:oned before
the work of making peace is over,
while the population awaiting allo-
cation is something like seventy
millions, as compared with the less
than seventy millions divided in the
Versailles settlement.
The Allies, who have conquered
Germany and imposed their peace
terms upon her, have now to sepa-
rate Austria Hungary into it's COM
ponent racial parts, deal with the
Russo-Polish problem, the Russo
Rumanian question, bring about a
settlement so far as England is con-
cerned, dispose Of the tangled prob
lem of Constantinople and the
shores of the Straits and impose
peace terms upon Bulgaria.
Must Reconcile
Racial Disputes
Not less difficult is the task of
reconciling the disputes between the
separate races on which the several
provinces of Austria are to be be-
slowed, accommodating the acute
quarrel between the southern Slavs
and the Italians, and thus bringing
little order and calm out of that
great central chaos which now ex-
tends from the Baltic to the Hgean
and from the Adriatic to the Black
Sea. Until these things are accom-
plished there can be no peace in Eu-
rope, and in the accomplishment of
even temporary arrangement there
may be sown the seeds of many
future wars.
To begin at the beginning, there
is the Russian problem. 1t may be
divided into two equally important
parts; there is the question of Rus
eia itself and the question of the
various races on the fringe of the
sld Russian state, which are seeking
independence, union with other frac-
hons of their own race who are seek
ing permanent separation from Rus
bia, precisely as the Danes, the
Poles and the people of Alsace-Lor-
raine sought liberation from the
German yoke.

Americans See But
A Single Solution

Then, again, the American point
of view, influenced by the Fourteen
POINTS, conceives that there is only
one just solution, and that such a
solution, if reached, will close the
debate. Unhappily, there are fire.
quently at least two solutions con-
forming to justice as laid down by
the Fourteen Points, and in some
cases, as in the Banat, a situation
where the Fourteen Points have no
application, since self determination
is impossible as a whole, and, if the
vote of the people be had in the vari-
GUS districts, commercial ruin will
result.
Finally there is the European
point of view, which no American
reckons with, the point of view of
the French and British, who have to
face the eventuality Of a restored
Russia, the certainty of a vengeful
Germany and the growing fact of a
thoroughly dissatisfied Italy, whose
dissatisfaction grows out of the re-
lection of claims she holds Just,
which were agreed to by her allies,
but rejected by President Wilson, in
accordance with his views of justice.
views which, in the abstract at least.
cannot be disputed.
If Germany, Russia and Italv
find a common basis for cooperation
IN upsetting the present settlement
in Europe, where is the force coming
from to defeat them? Certainly
France and Great Britain cannot do
this. Even~if we sent new millions
to Europe they would hardly arrive
IN time to save France from a new
invasion. AS for the league of ma
tons, what power has it, outside Of
the power of the nations which con-
stitute a real part of it, and these
are Britain, France and ourselves?
Such briefly, then, is a conspectus
of some of the remaining problems
of peace; such is the unfinished
business before the Paris conference.

a1ter war Waged against Britain,
France and italy, then terms like
those imposed upon Germany would
be possible. But neither the one nor
the other condition is fulfilled. Rus

ally; she finally collapsed and made
separate peace; but does this JUS

as an enemy and dividing her terri
tories. cutting her off from the Bal
tic; in effect. ratifying the terms of
the treaty which her enemy Ger
many imposed upon her, sword in
handsa Rrcst-Iitowk?
Unfortunately, the progress of
events at Paris already has resulted
IN the permanent alienation of Italy;
nothing is more certain than that,
once the chance comes, Italy will re-
turn to her old German alliance. To
insure that Russia, when she does
become a great power again, as she
almost certainly must, because of
the fashion in which her old allies
have treated her, shall also turn to
the Germans is to provide for a new
war, with every chance in favor of
a victory by the new alliance.
The real difficulty which con-
fronts the men who have to carry
on the work Of peacemaking is The
puzzle about Russia. We have rec
ognized the independence of Fin
land, but Kolchak fatty refuses to
recognize it on his part. We have
recognized the claim of Poland to
freedom, which Kolchak also con
cedes, but what is to be Poland's
eastern limit? The boundaries of
the old Russian Poland? But the
Polish armies are in Wilma, Minsk
and Kovel, fighting Bolshevist forces.
Certainly if Kolchak will not recog-
nize the independence of Finland
he will not consent to the separa-
ton of Lithuania, White Russia and
Volhynia from the old Muscovitc
state.
Nor is the dispute merely be-
tween the Pole and the Russian
here. On the contrary, the Poles
desire to restore the old confcdera-
ton between Lithuania and Poland.
while the Lithuanians desire uncon-
ditional independence, and even if
this were granted there is still to be
settled the age-long difference be.
tween two peoples as to their boun-
diaries. If the Paris conference
gives Poland White Russia and
Lithuania, it alienates the Russians
and the Lithuanians; if it does not,
it alienates the Poles. If it returns
the Lithuanians to Russia, it alien
ates both these people and the Poles
and does violence to the right of
self determination of peoples.
Then there is the problem of Riga,
of Libau, of the provinces of the
Courland, Esthonia and Livonia,
with a certain minority of German
inhabitants and a strong separatist
sentiment. To take these away
from Russia would be to undo the
work of Peter the Great and leave
Russia without access to the Baltic.
New War Against
Russia Possible
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1919-07-13
New War Against
Russia Possible

But precisely these people are
asking, with Allied help, a gallant
fight against the Bolshevist Rus
slams; shall they be rewarded by
betrayal to the Russians? If they
are, they will unquestionably fight
with German aid-German troops
are still there-against Russia until
such time as Russia and Germany
come to terms over the WHOLE set of
questions that concern them. 1t is,
then, no simple tangle, this problem
of the Baltic and Polish hFnter-
lands.
In the solving of it, the main ques
ton necessarily will be the self-in-
terest of the Western powers. II
would be idle to expect Great Brit
ain and France to ALLEVIATE Russia
by ceding her territories to Poland
and one or more independent Baltic
states, thus insuring speedy COM
bination of Russia and Germany to
undo this work.
The fact that every European
recognizes and most Americans dis
regard is that the German victory
over Russia destroyed the balance
of power in Europe, which was re
stored only when we sent great
armies to the Continent. These
armies have mostly departed; their
return under any circumstances is
at least problematical; therefore, it
is of utmost importance to the West
ern powers, if they are to exist, to
prevent an alliance between Russia
and Germany, which would be al
most irresistible. This can be
avoided only, if at all, by so framing
the terms Of peace as not to dis
satisfy the Russia Of tomorrow,
which, one must assume, will be
strong and mindful Of its historic
greatness.
That is why the whole Russian

to Plan Reception.

A citizens meeting was held at the

the purpose of taking the necessary
steps or arranging to give the boys
a soldiers welcome. and home wei

response in heart OF everybody in the

cordingly the building was filed with
anxious and expectant relatives and
friends Of those noble young men
who went out TO battle for their
country.
4 committee on arrangement was
named, so also was a committee on
reception and one on finance.
1t was made plain that it was the
purpose of all present to include not
only the homecoming boys, but all the
soldiers who went out from the
county both volunteers and selected
men. At some other day, it is in
tended to arrange TO give the negro
troops who went out from the coun-
ty a suitable reception, however, this
VIII no doubt be taken up with the
representative colored citizens OF the
county.
It is not known as yet when the
boys will land or just when they viii
be discharged. But it will probably
be within the next 80 days, so Grena-
da proposes TO make the event an
epoch making one in the history OF
the county and of course expect their
friends and neighbOrs in the coun-
try districts of the county to join in
the preparation and contribute to It's
success.
