AN ALLIANCE MUST
HAVE A PLACE FOX
ALL THE NATIONS
Continued from Page H.

(Continued from Page ID
IN fight the whole idea of special
treaties and alliances and the a1Su-
ment they will use is best summed
mn in Mr.. Wilson's speech at Man
chester, England, in which he said IN
part:
.You know that the United States
has always felt from the very begin
ming of her history that she must
keep herself separate from any kind
of Connection with European politics,
But she is interested in the partner
ship of right between America and
Europe. If the future had nothing for
us but a new attempt to keep the
world at a right poise by balance
OF power, the United States would
take no interest, because she will JOIN
no combination of power which is
not the combination of all of us. She
is not interested merely in the
peace of Europe, but in the peace OF
the world"
Although three years have passed
since those words were spoken, the
situation has changed very little. The
French were checkmated then but
are now asking for a balance of pow
er in Europe once more. Premier
BRAND says today: 'Let tkere first be
a pact or alliance between Great
Britain and France "a pact which we
offered and asked for but have not
obtained. Such pact would be the
platform on which the reconstruction
of Europe could best be based. It
would be the best proof that our nav
al building program is not, and never
can be, directed against our English
friends"
But in Washington official circles,
the question is asked: Against whom
would such an alliance be directed?
Is reconstruction best obtained by
revival of the balance of power in Eu-
rope, and will America be benefited
or harmed economically by such
policy in Europe"
Ambassador Harvey's instructions
from President Harding are to listen
to the European proposals and refer
them to Washington for decision The
United States will lend her moral
support to any project looking to-
ward economic reconstruction pro-
vided it doesn't involve America poll
tica1ly. But while the Europeans are
discussing alliances and balances of
power, the bipartisan coalition in the
American Senate is preparing to carry
to the American people a program of
opposition to all treaties which imply
protection of one group Of nations
as against another and will offer an
alliance of all or more as the alterna-
tive.
