Rock on Which the League of Nations Was Wrecke

lowing the emotional idealism Of the
actual war there sets in q reaction
of selfish materialism. Lloyd George.
sensing this selfish materialistic
wave, which took cover behind the
moral diatribes Of a few pacihsts
and pro-Germans Of the element
which had opposed the war at the
beginning, urged peace by negotia-
tion during its progress and passed
logically to a demand for a "soft'
peace, and when it was over, seeing
that tho war and tine armistice TO-
gether had obtained for the British
all that the victory could yield-se-
curity, with the destruction of the
German naval fleet; reparation, with
the seizure Of most Of the merchant
fleet; profit, through the annexation
of most Of the German colonies and
the occupation Of Mesopotania,
Palestine and later Constantinople-
fell in with the demand for a modi-
fication Of the treaty which would
at once lessen the cost Of applying
the treaty for Britain and hasten
the restoration Of the profitable Ger
man market for British manufac-
lures.
Very promptly the German sensed
the situation and began a policy Of
propaganda and Of evasion. French
militarism was denounced at home
and abroad; the sentimental tenden-
cies in other countries were as clev-
erly exploited as they had been dur
ing the war.
But behind all else was the Ger
man policy Of not complying with
the treaty. Again and again the
issue Of treaty provisions was raised.
Lloyd George, in his campaign of
1918, had promised the British people
the punishment of the German Of
tenders against international law be-
cause he had believed that Chang
ing the Kaiser" would prove sue
cessful campaign cry.
But when this pledge had been full
filled by provision in the Treaty
Of Versailles for the delivery of the
criminals and the moment arrived
to enforce it, George, discovering that
British sentiment had changed, ad-
vocated dropping the matter. For
the French this meant consenting to
a violation of the German contract.
The point at issue had been raised
originally by the British, the French
had originally looked upon it with
disapproval, but it had been put into
the treaty, and if the Germans could
evade compliance they would be en-
couraged to believe the whole docu-
ment had become "scrap of paper"
Paris and London Clash
The result was a clash between
Paris and London, the failure to en-
force the provision and the disclo-
sure to the Germans of the disarray
in the Allied camp and the promise

this that great deal Of attention
will be devoted when the gates Of the
American ports are opened once

General Caselli added that he had
talked to mayors Of towns and cities
in agricultural districts who ex-
pressed their willingness to cooper
ate with the Italian government in
this project when conditions became
favorable. He had sent the results
Of these communications and investi-
cations TO the authorities at Rome.
A Canal TO Rome
"One Of the important projects
already undertaken by my country is
the building Of a canal from Rome
nine miles to the sea which will
transform Rome into a seaport -
said the Italian soldier. "The ter
minus is to be Ostia, which is older
in history than Rome. It was at
Ostia that the old Roman galleys
landed supplies for the legions Of
Caesar.
"The route Of the canal will be
parallel to the Tibcr, from which the
necessary water is to be drawn. A
railroad is to be built alongside the
canal. The entire cost Of the under
taking will be about $25, 100000.
THE Importance Of making Rome
seaport will impress every one.
Large steamships from New York
and other ports Of the world will be
able to dock at the city Itself, elin1i-
mating the necessity OF trip bt
rail.
Italy Will PAY
Compared with what they are in
America, matters in Italy are not
as promising as they might be-" he
explained. "Thc banking and money
resources Of the country are passing
through crisis, as the nation is con-
frontcd by the necessity Of paying
an enormous debt resulting from the
war.
but am confident Of Italy's abil-
lty to pay what it owes, because it
has a strong government and a re-
nunerativc system Of taxation.
Moreover, Italy is strong in a
good supply of workers. Whereas in
England only Is per cent of the pop
ulation are laborers, aud in France
AZ per cent, fully 70 per cent Of
ltaly's population are laborers.
Italy is accustomed to hard times
and knows how to econosnize. She
was obliged to do that during the
seventy-five years e her life and
. can do so now." q

the limit II she were again attacked
by Germany, but the course Of
events in the United States Senate
not merely disclosed the fact that
the United States would not honor
the Presidents promise at Paris, but
that the British pledge, having been
made contingent upon American ac-
ceptance, also became worthless.
The moment thus arrived when
France found that she stood alone
on the Rhine. America had retired
from Europe definitely, and her tiny
contingent at Coblenz was no longer
available for any real assistance.
The British had similarly withdrawn
all but small portion Of their troops
and directed their attention to mill
tary operations in Asia and at the
Bosporus. Britain and America had
thus dissociated themselves from
France in the enforcement Of the
treaty. But they had done more.
They had indicated an increasing
desire to see the terms Of the treaty
modified in Germany's favor and at
the expense Of France.
Now, to the French this meant
two things. It meant that America
and Britain had broken their pledges
embodied in the Treaty Of Yer
sailles - affirmative pledges - and
that they also were encouraging
Germany to evade performance Of
her part, alike by giving encourage
ment to the hope that the terms
would be modified and more plainly
indicating that they did not sympa-
thize with French policy to enforce
the treaty.
Italy, on her part, was doing all
she could to injure France, mainly
out Of spirit Of revenge growing
out Of French refusal to support Or
lando against Wilson in the confer
ence, but further stimulated by Ital-
ian desire to block the French effort
to create three strong Slav states in
Europe -- Poland, Czecho-Slovaha
and Jugo-Slavia - whereas Italian
policy was antl-Slav.
France Feels the Effect
France began at once to feel the
effects of the policy Of her allies in
the reduction by the Germans Of the
coal payments assured under the
treaty. This was vital matter for
the French because Of the German
destruction Of the French coal mines
in the Lens region during the war.
But the outbreak of the Kapp coun-
ter revolution in Berlin put the
whole question into a decisive form
by leading to precisely that viola
ton Of the Treaty Of Versailles
which the French could not, under
any circumstances, suffer, namely,
the invasion by German troops OF the
neutralized area east Of the Rhine.
No question as to the illegality Of
the German course was possible
since the treaty expressly forbade

Two Causes

Americas reluctance to heed the
pleas Of these aliens is attributed
by the foreign agents to two causes
first, it's WEAKNESS of contact
with Europeans" and, second, the
aversion Of organized labor in this
country to permit resumption in
the flow Of immigration which would
threaten the peculiar advantages in
wages and employment it has en-
joyed in recent months.
Among the foreign agents who
take this view is Count Benato Piola
Caselli, a brigadier general in the
Italian army, who has just finished
an exhaustive tour Of the United
States as the representative Of his
government.

supply Of workers, the
outside world, it is made to appear,
is beginning to knock at our gates
with increasing insistence, hoping to
hasten the lowering Of the gates re-
stricting the tides Of immigra ton.
But thus far this knocking has been
largely in vain, and the indications
for the future are by no means def
mite or certain.
The result has been to bring about
a curious situation. On the one
hand, American industries are repre-
sented as making desperate but
futile efforts to restock their thinned
forces Of operatives and blaming
the curtailmcnt Of production and
the continuing level of high prices
on their failure to do so.
On the other hand, attention is
called to the millions of workers in
other lands who are begging for q
chance to come to this country.
Weary Of turmoil and strife, these
producers are represented as eager
TO emigrate to shores which promise
less excitement and more remunera-
tion. America, far removed from
the scenes Of recent fighting and
present upheavals, is said to appeal
to them as the most desirable haven
within reach, and they are pictured
as besieging the authorities for an
opportunity to make this country
their home.
From the accounts brought here
by representatives of foreign ma
tons there is said to be moro than
enough Of these would-be immigrants
to meet all the needs of which the
United States is suffering at the
present time.

He then told Hogarth his plan for
the Aurora Borealis Ice Company,
taking $4,000 from Hogarth as
partnership fee, the farmer says,
leaving Hogarth on the farm to care
for the ice, while he made second
trip to the pole to attach the scoop.
His theory was that scoop attached
to the pole would tear loose billions
of tons of icesas the earth revolved,
and would gradually tip, flinging its
contents on Hogarth's farm.

PASADENA, Cal, May 20.-In- auguration of a broad campaign for encouraging electrical development to offset the impending fuel oil shortage was advocated today by speakers be- fore the convention of the National Electric Light association here.
 Among the speakers were: s. M. Kennedy of Los Angeles, vice president of the Southern California Edison com pany; k. O. Edgerton, president of the California state railroad commission, and John 4. Britton, chairman of the public policy committee of the asso- ciation.
 Edgerton, speaking on the reward for efficiency" said:
 The interest of the public must be made parallel with that of the utility. What is good for the public is good for the companies. It is to the interest of the public that utilities be kept sound financially, and I can foresee the ex- penditure of $500, 900 on power de- velopment in California within 10 years"
 Kennedy pointed out that it required both server and served to produce good service, which stimulates busi- ness to the highest degree.

OIL BECOMING TIE
 BIG QUESTION SAYS
 ENGLISH NE EWSPAPER
TRepubIlcan A. p. Leased Wirel

MANCHESTER, England, May 20 The Manchester Guardian in an edi torial today says the question of oil tends to oyershadOw almost all other international problems and this by virtue of a three-fold occasion, name ly, the Turkish treaty, the Mexican revolution and the discomfort in America, which was forcibly expressed yesterday"
 Referring to the American estimate that oil deposits may be exhausted in 20 years, the paper says:
 Hence, Of course, the constant pre- occupation of Washington and the great American oil corporations with the politics of Mexico"
 The Guardian says that whatever gaps there may have been in Under Secretary oe State Folks survey they have been Inled in by Alfred C. Bed ford, of the Standard Oil company of New Jersey, in his speech in Cali fornia, in which Mr. Bedford is quoted as saying that the Carranza govern ment had discrimiLated against Ameri- can oil firms and that virtually no oil had gone to the United States during 1919.
 s'In the one political statement on which the Standard Oil president ven- tured," continued the newspaper, we may see a sharp indication of the peril ous course along which the Washing ton government is being urged. This was a demand for a frankly aggres- sive foreign policy on the part of the United States-a policy the first step in which would clearly have to be an ! invasion of Mexico for the purpose of establishing O protectorate, thus plac- ! ing the Standard Oil company and its allies in absolute command of what is i believed to be the richest oil regior in the world.
 Tt is a very serious commentary or the revolution of last week which, by | displacing Carranza was said to have l removed the one great obstacle tC peace between Mexico and the United States"
 The newspaper thinks the questions raised by the Washington report arc worldwid and not confined to Ameri- can interests in Mexico. It expresses the opinion that Under Secretary Folks survey, with what it terms the secretary's specific indictment of Grea Britain's oil policy, is an accusation directed against the British policy il the middle east.
 At the same time the hope is ex- pressed by the Guardian that the Poll report states Great Britain's case stronger than the facts warrant; bu it urges the government and the Brit. ish people to take seriously the judg- ment of the world on the government:
 eastern schemes which is implied T l Secretary Folks criticism of the Brit. ish oil policy.
