Self Determination Champions
Tell Curzon Disaster Is Due
to Imperialistic Rule.
MUCH ENERGY is WASTED

By Cable to The star and Chicago Daily News.
Copyright. 1921.
LONDON. England, July 30.-For-
eisn Secretary Curzon's frank avowal
of the failure of British policy and the
collapse Of British influence in Persia
has provoked conflicting sentiments
in the country. Nobody likes failure
less than does the Britisher. but the
average British citizen is rather
weary of costly enterprises adjacent
to the periphery of the empire.
1t is the anti-waste slogan that
holds the field. Visionary political ad-
ventures cause increasing d:strust.
There is a feeling everywhere that
imperial safety must not be sought
in throwing out remote defenses. but
in imperial consolidation and internal
accommodation.
It has been the settled policy of the
foreign office to offer no obstacle to
the will of Persia. If Persia preters
bolshevism. as she at present clearly
does, Britain will abandon all at
tempts to develop the country's COM
munications and commerce, restore ITS
finances and put its police ana mill
tary forces on sound footing. Even
to their fate.
Force to Be Disbanded.
AS matters now stand in the south.
the Persian force of 5000 rifles. which
has been maintained by British and
Indian money. will be disbanded
soon-as soon as the British contri-
button for this support is exhausted.
According to the British view dis
bandment win mean the return of
anarchy and robbery, and will ruin
the trade of central and southern
Persia.
Such is the situation after century
of British labor and the expenditure
of millions of British money in Persia.
There is now, it seems, nothing in the
way of the spread of bolshevism in
Afghanistan because it is already in
trenched in Transcaucasia and
Turkestan. The London Times at
tributes the British failure in Persia
to the waste. of British energy and
treasure in Mesopotamia. Lord Cur
zon. who has given thirty years of
his life to efforts designed to insure
the integrity and prosperity of Persia,
Evening star., 1921-07-31

says he regards the outlook almost
with despair.
Lord CurzOn Censured.
Champions of self-determinatioh
tell Lord Curzon that his failure and
the failure of the government in
Persia are due to imperialistic prin-
ciples. The Manchester Guardian says
You could not get out of your heH;
the idea of protection, that is. control.
You could not get into your head tn
idea of freedom of those upon whoI.:
you have thrust your protection. VIII.
did the bolsheviki succeed where W.
failed? Because. though they prob
ably are not more aitruistic than We
are. they knew how to f1atter the new
sense of independence of the eastern
peoples" ... :,
To this skill in f1attery is attributed
the Afghan Emir's letter to his
friend" Lenin. whom he designates as
the great humane defender of civil
iZation, sincere protector of the east
ern peoples, friend of the free Afghan
state and nation. his supreme excel
lency the president of the great Rus

peace so dearly won jeopardized by
the allies themselves. If all saw this
clearly the solution would be easy
But apparently nobody wants to race
it Squarely. and by successive COM
promises the evil is made worse in
stead of better.
1t little matters whether the Wirth
government at Berlin is the accom-
plice or dupe of the militariSt factions.
The fact remains that the whole of
the German people. with the eXcep-
ton possibly of the small capitalists,
have been poisoned with fierce jingo-
ism due to the preachingS of the Ger
man press. The idea that Germany is
the least bit bound by her signatures
of 1919 and 1921 is gradually disap-
pearing. Force IS the ruling sentiment
and just as soon as Germany feels
that force is on her side she will re-
peat 1914.
Better Feeling a DeluxiOn.
The conquering peoples in the re-
cent war, by renounccing territorial
acquisition, harsh terms and war ex-
penses. battered themselves they
were inauguraung Il new era Of bet
ter feeling and of justice. Germany's
attitude today bellies all this.
The allies must share responsibility
for the situation. Some. like the
United States. have failed to ratify
the peace terms. Others, like Great
Britain. have constantly sought to
revise the articles which they signed
and ratified. France. too, instead OF
standing firmly on the treaties. has
been led to accept the improviSationS
of Lloyd Georges fertile Imagination.
While Germany has sought to dodge
the law. the allies themselves have
weakened and mutilated the same
law. and thus the Germans have
found in the differences among the
conquerorS new encouragement to-
ward a policy of revenge.
Semi official papers throughout Eu-
rope strive to conceal these truths
which I desire to present to Ameri-
cans who know from personal con-
tact that | am accustomed to tell
things as they are. Big controversies s
are now raging about superficialities es
such as whether the supreme coun-
Gil snail meet a week earlier or a
week later: whether it shall precede
or follow meeting of experts. and
other unimportant points.
Victory Falling to Pieces.
What matters it that Europe's real
situation is lost from sight; that
future peace is made dependent upon
force; that the allies have no COM
mon policy. and that if Germany
thought she could win she would

cussed at the moment?
In less than two years victory has
been sabotaged. and if the same paths
be followed it will fall to pieces
Americans and others looking for
ward to the economic reconstruction
of the world must remember that
such reconstruction requires certain
political foundations which do not
exist now. And the worst part is that
these foundations have been weak

VIENNA, Austria, :July, -39.-The
Austrian currency has DEPRECATED to
such an extent that it is almost as bad
as that of Russia. Austria relies upon
the credit promised by the league of
nations. but always withheld. The
league thinks it could find the credit
provided the United States would not
abandon the note signed by Austria
for s25.00O, 900 to be advanced by
the grain corporation. and if the
allies could be Influenced to abandon
their reparations claims.
Belgium and Italy have resigned
their claims, and Britain has aban-
doned her claims for the reason that
several millions have been advanced
for the purchase of seed potatoes. But
the allies still owe the United States
for loans made to Austria and bor-
rowed in the United States. 1t is
said that if the United States should
postpone the debt for fifty years, the
Austrian resources would be seized
for the claims, and that even the wa
ter power plants developed by Amer
leans would be subject to seizu- un-
der the treaty. which gives the sigmers
of the document first rights.
