Senator Dc Kcrguczec defended the
submarine as an essential weapon OF
defense, but wished it to be confined to
military uses instead Of being applied TO
torpedoing commerce. "At the Wash =
ington Conference" he said, I'VE we're
surprised to see the French delegation
demand $50 900 tons Of capital ships
when France does not desire to carry
war into foreign waters. France desires
no imperialism. but we found Admiral
De Bon's proposal strange. There are,
nevertheless, limitations which we can
not accept
Minister OF Marine Guisthau, reply
ing to Senator De Kerguezec, said he
was greatly affected by the remarks
he asserted. Nothing has been pro
posed that reduces frances power. .
Moreover. he declared, no decisions
reached at Washington would be. cf-
fcctivc until the French Parliament
had approved them. He explained that
the naval program was reduced through
lack of money, but that a defensive
program was prepared providing for
the utilization of the commercial fleet.
Preceding the debate over the naval
budget the naval commission had pub
lished u resolution urging the Minister
Of Marine 10 increase the number OF
submarines so as to adequately defend
the coast line, in view of the present
weakness Of the navy, which was
stressed during the discussion in the
Senate.
The concluding paragraph Of the
naval commissions resolution said
Zone cannot conceive, therefore. that
Frances efforts in this direction should
he obstructed or limited. 1t is Il ques-
ton of national independence aud OF
the right of legitimate defense that il
at stake"
The resolution was adopted in con.
nectlon with the naval commissions $ re.

ciplcs, that the French navy must
always be superior to the German navy
and sufficiently supreme in tho Medi.

when Germany was refused permits
sion to join with Austria and it was
ignored in the Presidents policy to-
ward Russia. That the proposed de-
fensive treaty with France was bad;
that it would certainly be rejected by
the American Senate. and that it dis
credited Article X, which Mr.. Wilson
considered vital to the treaty, was the
opinion of Mr.. Lansing during the
peace conference. He indicates mis- be-
lief that Clemenceau insisted on the
defensive treaty as the price of sup
port of the league
Secretary Lansing finds the mandate
system of administering conquered
Territories a selfish device benefiting
material interests of the mandate
holding powers under cover of appar-
emit altruism. 1t was sought to take
advantage of the unselfishness of the
American people to impose burden
some mandates on the United States
while giving profitable ones to
European powers.
Mr.. Lansing opposed the mandate
system in talking with Colonel House,
but never knew whether his objections
were conveyed to the President. In
connection with other problems his
communications sent directly to the
President were never. acknowledged,
according to Mr.. Lansing, who foun
Mr.. Wilson intolerant of suggestions;
irritated by opposition, and seemingly
after November IL, 1918. when Mr..
Lansing incurred his displeasure by
urging him not to go to Paris per-
sonally. 50 -n
Mr.. Lansing discusses the testimony
of William c. Bullitt before the Senate
foreign relations committee. Mr.. Bull
lit quoted Mr.. Lansing as saying that
if the American people understood
what the treaty let them in for they
would defeat it. Mr.. Bullitt entirely
changed the meaning of what had beer
said to him in Paris, Mr.. Lansing de-
clares. The President at this time was
campaigning for the League of Ma
lions in the west and Mr. Lansing
telegraphed to him offering to explain
the Interview with Bullitt. but he
says. the President never answered his
telegram.
Because of -the pressing need OF
peace, Secretary Lansing, despite his
differences with Mr. Wilson, con-
tinued to favor ratification of the
treaty and convenant without reserva
tons. This he did as long as there
was chance to secure an early peace
by this method.

Makes the World Go Round?

MY dear, you're utterly unworldly!

Mary was about to answer: Love"
but checked herself in time, as Eve
uttered the one word: Money
Mary Strengthened up. She couldn't
let this pass without definite criti-
cism. Otherwise, she would feel a
traitor to herself and her whole creed
of life and ethics.
you're wrong. I'm sure that money
doesn't make the world go round!
Upon the contrary, I'm quite convinced
that it often comes between oneself
and happiness! Miss Rochester, be-
lieve me, as a business girl 1 do know
what I'm speaking of"
Eve flung back her pretty head and
laughed.

Miss Drew-no-let me call you Mary

Mary, face aglow. leaned forward to-

you won't offend me in the least"

rejoined Mary An apologize light lay
in her sweet eyes. But l do most
truly mean what 1 say. Money, posi-
ton and power are nothing compared
with happiness. If 1 loved a man,
wouldn't stop to think of the things
that is-it would be the man himself
I'd care for, not his money"
THE difficulty is" said Eve, with a
little burst of candor, that can't dis
cover whether Dick Calardin is really
rich or poor
From this frank speech Mary lmme-
diately recoiled To her the young
backw oodsman was a kind of demi-
god. 1t seemed incredible to realize
that Eve-sophisticated, worldly Eve
was making calculations on his
pre- blematic income.
Mixed with the condemnation IN
Mary's mind was a little thrill of envy,
If Dick loved Eve, then surely out OF
all the world she was the lucktest girl!
"Of course" continued Eve, realizing
that she had made a definite mistake,
"ot course, 1 like Dick for himself.
When 1 speak about his income, I'm
thinking about its effect upon my
guardian. He's terribly ambitious,

complacent little smile-'I ought to

become a little boring-particular

over the last few words.
SILENCE fell between the girls. Mary's
gaze was out over the rolling land
scape, now almost indistinguishable
in the gathering dusk.
Eve opened her vanity case and eyed
herself in the little mirror.
"Heavens What a fright 1 look

videS for an oligarchy OF the great
powers and a continuance of the policy
of the balance of power against which
the President spoke in England. but
which he in effect subscribed to in
approving the covenant.
Relating the difficulties and embar-
easements to which three of the Amer
lean commissioners were subjected by
failure of the President to hold sim
gle conference with the American
commission on the League of Nations
from it's first meeting until its report
was printed, Mr.. Lansing says the Of
flee force of Colonel House knew more
about thes proceedings than the three
American commissioners who were
not present. Additional difficulties
were caused by lack of an American
programme, the IA points Of the Pres
idont being entirely insufficient for
such a purpose. Mr.. Lansing found the
President indisposed to consider the
subject of having a programme. He
asked the American legal advisers to
prepare a skeleton treaty. but was
told emphatically by the President that
the latter did not intend to have law
yers draft the treaty of peace
MR.. LANSING'S IDEA
Mr.. Lansing's idea was to secure
adoption of a resolution declaring the
purposes and nature of the League of
Nations, providing for later negotia>
ton of a detailed plan, and in the
meantime to make peace at the earli>
est possible moment. This he thought
could be done by April 1, 1919. Delay
of peace for the purpose of completing
the league, he considered an unwar-
ranted risk. The President, however.
thought otherwise, and Mr.. Lansing
= n IND 10
President was disposed to employ the
world desire for peace as a means to
compel other governments to accept
his plan for league.
Self determination was a phrase of
the Presidents that Mr.. Lansing con-
sidered loaded with dynamite; bound
to cause impossible demands, and to
stir up trouble in many countries. This
principle, he says, was discredited
