The Three Big Bosses.

THE above are but a few OF the
major elements of confllt be-
tween the victors Of the war. Con-
flicts which conferences have failed
to adjust, Conflicts which all par
ties decline to submit to the league.
II compromise OF conflicting inter-
eSts be possible and is accomplished.
then Britain, France and Italy are
ready for the league TO function by
imposing their agreement on the
smaller states, and will insist on ac-
ceptancc by the United States on the
ground that the agreement will sta
billie Europe, and stabilization is as
necessary to America as TO Europe;
therefore, America cannot afford de-
NAL and thereby endanger, II not
destroy, the peace OF the world.
The settled purpose of Lloyd
George, Millerand and Giolitti to set
tie thcir differences and accomplish
their purposes by direct negotiations
where they hold the reins OF power
In their hands, ls the real cause why
no appeal to the league has been
made.
Not until entente agreement has
been secured and it requires unani-
nous action by or war on the part of
the league to set aside the agree
ment, will the league be called upon
to act, when. II ever, the entente
powers call upon the league to act.
the league will face a situation which
requires unanimous action or war to
change, neither Of which is posi- Bile.
Neither Lloyd George. Millerand
or Giolitti have the least idea OF
trusting the substantial interests OF
their reSDectiVe countries IN IN q
counsels Of alien and possibly hos
tile members Of the league. For this
they are entitled 10 commentator.
Entente statesmen do not intend
that the lesser states OF Europe shall
have any voice In the distribution
Of the spoils OF war, nor do they
intend that any such nation shall
have the power TO thwart the de-
signs OF the entente.
The league must not, is the view
of the entente statesmen, create a
status quo. It's mission Is to main
tain a status quo created by entente
statesmen.

BY JUDGE JAMES n. DTGGS.
THE execution OF the German,
Austrian. Bulgarian and Turk
ish peace treaties leaves Europe in
a fermcnt Of discord and dissa tisfac-
ton, which finds voice in the insist
ent demand for treaty revision, re-
distribution OF enemy territory, and
the allotment Of such territory re-
naming uuparCeled.
II would be as unwise as untrue
TO ascribc this ferment entirely to
greed for power and land lust These
play their part, but the poets Of dis
content strike deeper-strike as
deep as national safety and security.
National safety and security the
lesser nations OF Europe have. by
the application Of force, becn com
PEELED to commit to the league OF
nations. But national safety, secur-
lty and interest of the entente pow
crs have not bcen and will not be SO
committed.
What causes this ferment and dis
satisfaction?
The difficulty lies in the fact that
what tends TO the security OF one
nation does not always tend TO that
OF the others, and also in the fact
that what insures entire safety for
one, fails TO furnish more than in
complete and dubious safety to the
others.

THIS condition causes the ferment
and discord now distracting
Europe and brings about the existing
and insistent demand for treaty re-
disposition of enemy territory,
France, with her accustomed clar-
l'y of vision, realizes TINT II will take
military power to enforce the treaty;
that rehabilitation Is not proceed
ing: surrender OF war material is
not being made; that the com mercial
and reparation clauses OF the treaty
are not being fulfilled, and will not
be without armed Intervention.
That while navies cannot be rebuilt
and equipped without notice, French
history proves that armies may.
France realilas that Britain and
America will never intervene to pro-
tect her against German aggression
where the price OF such intervention
is the sending OF large armed forces
TO take part In extensive military
operations on the European con-
tinent
These conditions make all the en-
tcnte powers eager for a revision Of
the treaties, especially that of the
Treaty Of Versailles, ready for a re-
disposition OF territory under the
Austrian treaty, and a division of the
Turkish spoils. All agree that re-
vision with its consequent read lust
ments and compensatious is neces-
sary, but all find agreement as to re-
vision and redistribution impossible.
Allies Conception of League.
Why, then, not trust revision and
distribution to the League Of Ma
tions? The answer is that the great
powers do not look upon the League
as an instrument TO adjust their at-
fairs, but regard II solely as n means
Of imposing their agreement upon
the lesser powers.
The treaties all provide for eNecu-
ton, revision and modification by
the League, they all provide for
submission to the League of all points
Of disagreement OF inequality and in
Justice why not then resort to the
League and give the lesser nations OF
Europe a voice in the settlement OF
European affairs? This the great
nations will avoid at any risk. Hence
san Reno, Hythe and Lucerne con-
ferences, Britain, France and Italy
each desire revision and redisposi-
tion Of territory, but each revision in
an opposite direction.
