U. S. Blame If European Smash
Comes Called Difficult Problem
Isolation or Cooperation Big Issue
Before President Coolidge-Clear-Cut
Statement of Policy Held Vital Need.

are many people in Europe who argue
that the United States should morally
support the British position and thus
weaken France before the bar of
public opinion. Such a course would
only impair the usefulness of Ameri-
can mediation. There is "a neutral po-
sition as between France and Great
Britain. 1t consists of. bold attack
on the fundamentals of the whole
European problem-the elimination one
by one of the factors causing the dis
pute.
Security Pact Proposed.
First. there is the question of
French security. America might well
propose that all the powers of Europe
enter into a solemn treaty promising
not to attack one another for a pc
riod of fifty years. Such a respect
for the sovereignty of each others
domain would when formally ratified
by parliament constitute an impress

The next step is the taking by the

Vocated by President Harding. Con-

necessary authority for this. When

nomic crisis from war debts to repa-
America need not agree in advance
to cancel or reduce war debts. but
cannot refuse to discuss with other
governments measures that would re-
lieve them of the strain. If America
could bring about the demobilization
of the French army and the general
disarmament of Europe, by promising
to reduce the allied war debt by a
certain percentage, the net return TO
American business and the peace Of
the world would be thousandfold.
Ask Help to Get Going,
Get your own house in order first"
is the usual advice given Europeans
by American observers abroad. ''and
then we will help you" To this the
Europeans answer: IF we could get
our house in order alone we would
never need your help afterward."
But there are certain things Europe
must do before America can be OF any
help. 1t is to end the poker game and
put all the cards face up. The facts
of Germanys capacity To pay are OBJ
tainable just as are the facts of what
Germany has already paid. The for
eign offices thus far have not used
the weapon of publicity as Tar as they
can. And the American government
with it's impartial sources of infor
nation can aid the whole world in
influencing European governments to
get together. 1t can be done by ex-
posure of the facts as gathered by
American diplomats. 1t can be done
by statements from President Cool
idge or Secretary of State Hughes.
Mediation will not be SO difficult to
achieve when once the public gets the
true facts about Europe. And America
alone is trusted sufficiently to gain the
respect of the world when it's conclu-
ci h1 a1 ln 20
before the world.
Placing Future Blame.
Should the American government to-
morrow pronounce the conditions under
which il would be willing TO discuss
possible measures Of aid to the eco
nomic situation Of Europe, the entire
European situation would change in
twenty-four hours. Some American n
diplomats say even that would be flu
tile, as 1t would be too late. They fear
the crash IS inevitable, and must come
before the world will be brought TO its
senses.

sponsibility will he if Europe goes to
