The responsibility Of America to
history is very great. Entering the
struggle as decisive factor. Amer
lea, not only established certain prin-
ciples in a precise form, principles
which were to be the guiding
rules of the victors. but she also
solemnly pledged herself to give
sure guarantees to the vanquished.
These pledges are above and be-
yond the persons of President Will
SON and of the democratic party;
they concern the entire American
people.
Now, America, having in definite
form contributed to victory, cannot
stand aside Adisinterestedly now,
even for internal reasons. Guar
antees given to vanquished peo-
pies are even more sacred than
those given to a victor.
America must, therefore. settle
not only her legal situation, her
relations with the conquered and
conquering states. but also and
above all, her relations de facto.

ONGRESS experienced a shock when
Treasury Department officials in dis
cussing the forthcoming tax BILL talk.
~ ed of the possible necessity of four
billions and six hundred millions in expendi-
lures and refused utterly to contemplate such
a contingency. Leader Mondell could not
visualize such a sum at all. and Chairmn
Fordney of the ways and means committee
was equally positive that such thing must
be contemplated Senate leaders were dis
turbed and the rank and file in Senate and
House were greatly exercised. All the re-
publican leaders share the belief that further
economies in expenditures are possible to avoid
taxes in amount beyond the original estimate
and ought to bring that estimate down. The
leaders confidently predict it will be reduced.
The cold fact is. the republicans of the
Senate and House are viewing with increasing
concern each week the political situation which.
may be created for the party by the tax legis-
lation. They feel certain that the party in
power will come in for degree of public
criticism whatever bill is brought in and will
be held responsible. while the democrats, hav-
ing responsibility, have everything to gain
and nothing to lose by the publics state of mind
over the legislation.
This is cold and cruel world, the
publicans view it, when they consider taxes and
politics for 1922.
But all is not lost. the politicians say. II the
coed in avoiding to at least reasonable degree
some Of the forms of taxation which are most
obnoxious by reason of having more direct in
dividual application. 1t is argued that it is not
so much the sum total of the taxes the people
mind, but those taxes which they can put their
finger as bearing directly upon them. 1t is
probably true that the average man, in think
ing of total tax bill of three and half or
four billion dollars. cannot grasp the idea of
five hundred millions more less but If the
law sticks a specific tax on him In the sum of
few dollars. which he can count readily. his ap-
probation is calculated to be more acute.
The democrats have already given indication
of their intention to pillory the majority party
upon every occasion presented in the making Of
the tax bill. 1t is easy to declare that the
wicked republicans working for the benefit
of the classes against the masses in the
preparation of the bill, and hard for the
harassed, though well intentioned, majority of
convince the populace to the contrary If some
feature of the bill hits the individual and he
the missile.
The republicans said to be pretty nearly
approaching the stage where they feel they
only grid themselves for the fray, walk
into it and take whatever comes. They

But the Atlantic ocean does not

Former Premier of Italy.

THERE is tendency in
America to take but little
interest in European ques-
tions. This is due to a
feeling of tiredness after four
years of agitation which led to
participation in the war and, what
was worse. participation in peace.
With all the respect due to the
great American democracy, while
we must admit that the United
States was a decisive factor in the
war and contributed strongly to
the attainment of victory. they
have been anything but a decisive
factor in peace.
At the conference of Paris Presi-
dent Wilson's action had a pre-
ponderating value. but, without
in the least doubling the loyalty
of his intentions, it would be an
untruth to affirm that his atti-
tude contributed to the real peace
of Europe.

The society of nations was a
noble ideal, but it was badly con-
ceived and has become The
wretched expression of violence.
the holy alliance Of the victors.
The conditions imposed on the
vanquished are daily revealed to
be to a large extent impossible
of execution. or are such that
their execution would injure the
victors themselves. in their COM
merce and industry. Certain states
which have arisen as the result OF
the treaties, and which are
obliged, for military or political
reasons, to hold down and oppress
populations of other races and
other origins, are every day be-
coming a greater element of dis
order. After nearly three years
since the conclusion of peace, Eu-
rope Is in the same state OF dis
order as at the time the war
ended, If she is not absolutely In
worse state. Never has there been
such an underground fight as
there is a present; never such a
cornering of raw materials. and
never such q development, OF the
spirit of mistrust.
It is easy to understand how
impossible it was, after such an
immense war, to return conditions
to a state Of equilibrium; but it is
equally easy to see that the major
couses Of disturbance and ferment
lie in the treaties, the greater re-
sponibility for which rests on the
limited states of America.
President Wilson, on account OF
his exceptional position. took the
part at Versailles more Of an
arbiter than one of the parties in
tho struggle. If his word had
been laid down on the side OF
reality and life. and If his advice
had been really inspired for the
resurrection of Europe, they would
have had a decisive value. The
head of a government. and much
more the head of a state, have
not to do the work of defining
philosophic principles, but rather
to work on the living reality OF
things. Before creating a society
