1t Is Europe s Problem
(From the Washington Post.)

The Near East imbroglio is being
taken by advocates of Americas par
ticipation in Europe as q text -on
| which to hang some of the same old
arguments with which they urged
entrance into the League of Nations.
II Is Americas duty, as a member of
the family OF nations they contend,
to plunge into the vortex of Euro
pean politics that has for the time
being shifted to the Dardanelles and
vicinity. America. they hold, is un-
der obligation as constructive trps-
tee of civilization TO enter the mud
die "over thereto the end that It
may show the tangled European ma
tions the right way out and do Its
part" in laying tho menace that has
arisen in Turkey--and will weaken
ita prestige by staying out.
In the last Presidential campaign
these same pleaders for Intervention
in the Near East snarl by America,
along with the League of Nations
enthusiasts generally. urged partici-
patton in European affairs as exclu-
sively promising relief from econo-
mic depression under which the ma
tion then labored--this contention
being repeated times almost without
number by the Democratic leaders
in stressing Americas need Of the
league. But the rapid improvement
OF conditions under Republican con-
troll has routed the league cham
pions who nursed this fallacy. Next,
the advocates OF participation waxed
eloquent on the wondrous benefits
that were accruing TO members OF
the league and deplored Americas
privation resulting from it's "aloof-
ness" But the record of the league
has discounted the benefits so stress
ed below evidentiary value in the
case against Americas non-partici-
patton policy-and jarring clashes
within the league and notable, fail
ure to attain results promised by its
authors furnish convincing evidence
Of the wisdom OF Americas course.
Then, not to be put down by facts
and actual developments that dis
proved their case. participation en-
thusiasts have resorted to the "if"
contention. II America had only
participated, they declare. every
thing would have long been satisfac-
tOrily settled. And now comes COM
p,ication in the Near East to explode
this "if." The snarl there is a de-
velopment that the league has
proved powerless to prevent and
that it manifestly would have proved
powerless to prevent even though |
America had participated. And If
America had extended participation
in Europe to include the Near East
problem, the present crisis would.
nevertheless. have arisen for
America presumably would have
been committed 20 or by the policy
pursued by the allies in their deal
Ings with II. Such participation
would inevitably have involved It in
the disturbing situation that now
,onfronts Europe-and that would
have been the measure of its reward
FOR departing from traditional poll
,ies. While those urging such de-
parture in this case are seeking to
strengthen their contention by re-
7iving moral obligation" and duty !
imposed by trusteeship of civiliza-
