Ne,u Principles at Paris
By Frank H. Simonds

PARIS. Jan. 3o-There are in Paris
e. the present time two sets of inhu-
euccs working, both of which are in a
sense essential parts of the peace con-
ference. and either of which seen out
side its proper perspective might give a
totsuv inaccurate idea of the actual
conditions.
These two forces are idealism. which
is slowly but surely modifying the am
bilious appetite and demands of the
various nations and which is contribut-
4.c to the creation OF real league of
nations, which in my Judgment will
nave permanent value for world peace
and world understanding; and in the
second place, old fashioned diplomacy,
sith its old objectives, its ancient. time
nonored methods, seeking to do in
Paris in 1919 what it did in Berlin
and Vienna in the last century.
In the present article am going to
srv to give an example of the operation
of this old fashioned method, because
think it is valuable for the American
people to understand this phase as it
is, and exactly as it is; neither eXag-
serating nor minimizing its effect. And
I am going to Try then 10 indicate some
of the effects Of this sort of thing.
