Stay republic.
It is now safe. to say that Lans-
ing was dropped because he has al
ways thought and striven to act i'll
harmony with those statesmen of
western Europe whose most cynical
policies are usually modified by
realisn-by an eventual facing of
and conformity to facts however un-
pleasant. Entente statesmen gave
lip loyalty 10 Wilsonian fantasms
just so long as by SO doing they had
access to the American treasury.
With that access blocked, the allies
nave broken entirely free from Will
sons class room and committed
themselves to q practical settlement
of the Adriatic, Turkish and Russian
problems.
The president is furious, but help
less. For weeks he has been scu]d-
ing and threatening the allies with
a stream of notes objecting to the
Fiume compromise, the plan to
leave the Turk in Constantinople
and the project to deal with Russia.
On the word of Secretary Tumulty,
Wilson's last message to London was
just seven lines long. 1t was in
tended as an ultimatum. 1t pro-
voked nothing in response beyond
an invitation to Wilson to hurry up
with any practical alternatives he
had to offer, and final notice that
Europe-unlile the presidents cabi-
net-could not sit still and hold it's
breath in the midst of crisis which
threatens the very existence of the
present social order.
There is only one way, it is held,
for the president to recover his lost
dictatorship in world affairs. He
must guarantee to supply Europe
with credits and raw materials
necessary to it's continued competi-
tive existence. That he cannot do.
So Europe turns eastward. Beyond
the Baltic lies Russia, held in the
grip of a workers communism which
cannot be destroyed by force, but
holding also vast quantities Of raw
materials which the Soviet govern
ment is willing to barter for manu-
factned commodities. To this mag
net the needle of European dipio-
macy is irresistibly drawn.
Perhaps because of his intimate
personal relations with the Kolchak
ambassador" Bakhmetieff, and his
consequent association with that
gentlemans strange use of American
funds during the past year, Mr..
Lansing never made an issue of the
Russian policy followed by the
president. 1t suited him very we'll
to follow it. But he knew the
league of nations was a farce and
sympathized with the purpose of
England and France to handle Eur
opean questions according to the
historical precedents of imperialist
powers.
There is no longer any doubt at
Washington that Lansing encour-
aged the Viscount Grey letter,
which served notice on the world
that Europe would not object il the
senate republicans should cut the
heart out of the league covenant.
That act brought the president out
of retirement and produced the Bit
