VIEWED WITH CONCERN HERE
q. s. Decision to Keep Hands OF
Not to Be Taken Literally.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

Trouble between Great Britain and

because OF any fear that the two
countries will come into actual
physical conflict. but because the
controversy may keep the European
mind agog over war and its implica-
tions instead OF peace and its eco
Americas decision to. keep hands
off the Sflesian quarrel cannot be
taken literally. OF course. President
Harding and Secretary Hughes do not
want to mix in what might be for
the moment strictly European
quarrel, but American interest in
what is going on is just as true to-
day as it was when Senator Knox,
leader of the irreconcilables, inserted
in the now famous paragraph five OF
his peace resolution a declaration
that the United States would view
with grave concern anything that
threatened to upset the peace Of the
world.
Hope FIare-Up Will subsiAe.
So long as the dispute over the
possession of Upper Silesia is a terri

nations and gives no sign OF growing

be asked to mediate or might even
