The Gordon Sanitaire

NOl NOAE
The uproar over Prinldpo caused
the Paris Conference to fail back
upon the miserable compromise Of
the GORDON snnitaire, which amount
ed to making war, by using the bor-
der states to attack Russia, by sup
porting the Russian leaders actually
in arms against the Lenine regime,
but in pretending that this was not
war but some sort Of intelligent
method of delivering Russia" When
Kolchak, Denikin and Yudenitch
were soundly beaten and the Bolshe-
visits were threatening to overflow
into Poland and the Baltic states
this subterfuge was no longer nee
essary, but q new policy was i'm
perative.
But along with this incoherence Of
policy, due to the situation in all
Allied countries, there was special
cause for further confusion to be
found in the divergence of British
and French policy, a divergence
which was further accentuated by
the agreement of the Italians with
the British
France desired a strong Russia
for two obvious reasons: first, be-
cause strong Russia would restore
the balance of power in Europe and
thus reduce the future menace Of
Germany; second, because strong
Russia would be able to repay te
France the billions owed since the
time before the war, prime ele
ment In any calculation of the res
toration of French finances. To bt
sure, France desired, insisted, that
this strong Russia should be non
Bolshevist, Republican rather thar
Communist, but strong it must be.
Russia the Real Enemy
On the contrary, the British
equally eagerly hoped for genera
disintegration of the vast Russian
Empire. AS far as Britain was con
cerned the German peril had bee
abolished, but the Russian boundar
marched with that Of India for man
hundreds Of miles, since the buffe
state Of AYghanistan was but a pc
lite fiction. Moreover, for the large
part of the last century Russia ha,
been l.garded by British Statesmen
as the real enemy. and from Beacons
field to Salisbury British effort ha,
been directed at checking Russian
progress In the Hindu Kush and IL
the Balkans, toward Kabul and Con
stantinople.

sian policy.
Etaly's Stand

AS for Italy, she stood with Brit
ain for reasons little understood in
America, but carrying with them the
explanation of the Fiume problem
The Italians always have affected to
believe, and many Italian public men
do believe, that eventually the great
bulk of Russian Slavs, moved by the
pan-Slavic impulse, win push vest
ward and southwark into the Danu-
bian lands and beyond and seek to
strike hands with their Slav brothers
along the Adriatc.
The real justification, to the Ital-
ian mind, OF Italy's policy in the
4Adriatic is found in the conviction
that sometime in the future there
will be gigantic Slav push toward
the Adriatic, that the southern Slavs
will respond to this and that Italy
viii have to fight for her life and
her security. Against this day she
demands that she be permitted to
occupy strategic frontiers on the
eastern shore of the Adriatic from
Trieste all the way to Valona
. Naturally, therefore, the Italians
would be glad Of any development
which lessened the eventual Slav
, peril by dividing the Slav masses in
Russia. Britain thinking Of India,
Italy with her eyes fixed upon the
Adriatic, were quite as desirous that
Russia should be weak as France,
with her whole thought concentrated
on the Rhine, was eager that Russia
should reunite and by reuniting re-
store the balance Of power in Eu-
rope, since with Russia out Ger
many would remain the greatest
power on the Continent, even after
the peace terms had been applied.
In addition, like Britain, Italy was
! no longer apprehensive of Germany
n She had been drawn into the war to
: protect her own future in the Near
East and to complete her own uni
fication, but both concerns were only
indirectly affected by Germany
y Italy's enemy had been Austria
r Hungary. Austria Hungary was
: gone, and Italy was free for the
iu~urc 10 make alliances as she
chose. AS consequence Of what
she regarded as the sacrifice of her
n interests by France, Italy was fully
: reconciled to later partnership
l with the Teuton and made no CON
cealment of her bitterness toward
: the French.
Now, with all these differences
between the Allies, with the
United States, as represented al
, Paris, always attempting TO find
in each new Russian develop
