BY JOHN L. BALDERsTON.

Paris, Jan. 17.-Americans will not
learn with surprise that their country
is not row popular in the capitals OIL
their two greatest associates in the
war. The allies consider that they
have a justified grudge against the
United States. Their main grounds of
complaint urged to me here and in
London are now put forward.
America is accused of having insist
ed at Paris that every vestige of the
old Europe be smashed to pieces. Will
sens stand on such principles as the
freedom of small nationalities caused
the Fiume difficulty with Italy, which
is not yet settled. We are not help
ing to settle it. America took an axe
and crowbar and used them remorse-
les-ly on the old world; now il Is
complained that she refuses to help
patch up the pieces and get things
going again.
So far are the minds of the French
and British peoples from their feel
ings of gratitude evidenced two years
ago, that the intervention OF the
Stacker nation at the last moment is
now said by many to have been a
calamity for Europe and the world.
Ruined Civilization.
America is charged with having
perhaps ruined civilization by COM
ing into the war, ensuring a COM
plCte knockout victory. destroying
the Hapsburg ard HoheLzollern en-
pires as much by the catchwords
of ner President as by the force of
her armies. and then. when every
thing had been reduced to ruins,
going home and washing her hands
" the mess.
This somewhat extreme view is
Indicative of the current disillusion-
ment and disgust. Only if America
will carry the old world on her
shoulders for some time to come
can the old world survive the pres
ent crisis. and, Americans here ae
asked. if America did not mean to
help pick up the pieces. why did
she smash the old fabric to bits?
Charged With RobbIng Europe.
President Wilson had a hard fight
to get the league of nations ac-
cepted in Paris as the framework
Of the treaty, and was assured by
France and Italy. though not by
England. that it was so accepted
