LET US BOW TO TIE INEVITABLE

Does history record any great event
more charged with bitter irony than
the decision OF the Harding admins
tration that the United States is once
more to be represented in the councils
of Europe: that Roland w. Boyden, a
Wilson selection, will sit again in an
unofficial capacity on the reparation
commission" that our ambassador in
France will resume his place as un-
official observer on the conference OF
ambassadors" that Colonel Harvey,
Of all men, will sit in the seat of
Woodrow Wilson to represent us in
the deliberations of the supreme
councfl?"
Welcome beyond power OF words to
express will be this act to thinking
Americans. 1t is. as a big New York
paper describes it, the most impor-
tant and far-reaching act Of the Am
erican government since the signing
of the armistice." 1t heartens Europe,
which well knows that American CO.
operation in the settlement OF the
great international questions growing
out of the world war will be of ma
terial assistance" 1t is a concession
to idealism and the American con-
science.
This firm announcement by secre-
tary Hughes OF a policy in which all
Americans can take pride and cherish
hope OF good results closes 4 phase Of
our political history about which con-
troversy long will rage. Posterity
may deem it a confession OF the fail

True, we delayed peace-but the

by promising all things to all men.
True, ruin widens while settlements
halt, bankruptcy impends abroad and
our own taxpayers bend under need
less burdens-but Hiram johnson
was enabled to stay within the re-

True, almost irreparable hardship has
been wrealled upon the German peo-
pie. who looked to Harding's election
as an event that might somehow soft
an the consequences OF defeat-but
out Of the policy of scuttle a horde
