OUR ABSENCE FROM GENOA.

For those who were prepared from
the very beginning 10 find at Genoa
justification for our staying away from
the conference there has been no lack
of justification. Whatever would have
happened at Genoa there was bound to
be Justification.
For those. on the other hand. who
believed that our presence at GenoS
WAS desirable, events have offered no
reason for a change OF mind. It has
been argued that our suspicious re-
garding the real purpose of the con-
ference have been confirmed. Genoa
is described as an economic confer
ence and 1t is really a political con-
ference. That remains to be seen. But
even II the work at Genoa should slant
heavily towards the political. the an
swer Is simple. 1t was for us to go
to Genoa and to exert our influence
towards shaping the conference in the
right direction. 1t comes down to ba-
sic factor in our entire European pol
Iicy since the defeat of Woodrow Will
son. We might stay out and say Il
told you So" or we might go In and
help shape European developments
towards the end we had in mind.
II has been the great argument fol
American abstention that when thC
Europeans get together 1t Is at once
game OF rivalries and jealousies
and fears. Exactly. But is there any
better way to bring a reduction OF
rivalries and panics than through the
presence Of disinterested thirt
party which is not in the least afraid

was In not coming up to 100 per cen
American expectattokls. Even the
decriers of Wilson do not care Z
deny that without America at Pari
1t would have been a much wors
peace than was framed.
Genoa has not proflted by the dis
closures and rumors of private ar
rangements and selfish interests. TIL

prise on strictly business lines and
has all the old-time managers reel

his income rivals ROckefellcr's. He
has Broadway office. where he sits
telephoning and wiring and debating
letters. He seldom arranges a match
in person. That takes too much
time. He keeps a card index of the
performances Of every boxer from
California to Main and other man
ayers don't often fool him about the
ability of their man. His secretary
reads and clips the sporting notes
about boxers. And when they aren't
working his fighters run errands,
answer telephone calls ana keep an
moving people away from the boss.
