AMERICA VS.. EUROPE.
Republican Foreign Policy AS Stated
BY Secretary Hughes.

Secretary OF State Hughes in his
speech at Boston last Monday on 'e-
half OF Senate" Lodge took occasion
10 make clear the attitude Of AneEiSa
toward European problems. IAeSe
were the high points:
We favor and always have favored
an international court of justice lo'
tie determination according to judi
cial standards of iustifable interna-
tional disputes l believe suitable ar
rancemcnts can be made 70" the par
ticipation by this government in the
election of judges Of the intcrnationa!
court which has been set up.
The fundamental and pressing prob
Ic;as of Europe are political problems.
Each nation is its own Judge
i'm such matters of policy and
will follow its own interests save as
some special exigency may control.
The reason that the main problems
cf Europe cannot be solved save as
Europe helps herself lies in the fact
that each major difficulty centres in
the self determination action OF the
independent states and is beyond eX-
ternal control.
The great powers have not been
able to agree rs to questions which,
Icing distinctly European questions,
directly concern them.
For us international cooperation
does not mean that We should embroii
ourselves in controversies not involv-
ing our interests but growing out of
the age-lOng rivalrics and conflicting
interests of European powers having
policies which we do not assume to
criticise, but in which we have no
share. There is no reason why we
should frittcr away our helpful infiG-
ence by becoming q partisan OF either
party to such controversies, much less
make the fatal mistake of attempting
to assume the role Of dictator.
a host of productive undertakings in
Europe have turred 10 America for
help and have not been denied. The
help needed has been i credit
AS we are not ct war with Turkey,
we are not appropriate parties to the
peace negotiations which are about to
take place. While we have American
interests to protect, these are not as
h1. nc
of European powers which have made
the Near East checkerboard for dip
lomatic play. We do not propose to
connect ourselves with these rivalries.
