The question whether the United
States shall be an active participant
in efforts to settle the controversy
between the allies and Germany will
/ probably be answered within the
next few weeks. 1t should always
be borne in mind, however, that Il
the United States becomes active. II
will not be as a participant in any
European controversy, but merely as
| a friend trying to aid the contestants
in finding method of adjusting
| their quarrel.
The partial moratorium extended
/ to Germany will expire on January
i15. The allied premiers are begin
ming their conference in Paris to-
day. The avowed object Of the
premiers in ad1ourning their con-
ference in London was to inquire
further into the feasibility OF hold
ing a general economic conference
at Br1 ssefs. Now. however, the
object OF the premiers has been
broadened. and an effort Is to be
made at Paris to settle the repara-
tions and interallled debt questions
directly. without referring them TO a
general conference.
Il can not be said that the pros
pect of a complete settlement is
encouraging, but on the other hand
Il world not be wise to assume
that. because the allies have dis
agreed at preceding conferences
they viii disagree now. There are
several new factors in the situation
which work toward harmony now
whatever the temper OF the allies
NAV have been previously.
The chief stumbling block to an
adjustment OF the repsrations prob
lem is the mutual hatred and dis
trust Of France and Germany. The
French people have no faith In
Germany's intention to pay repa-
rssions unless forced to do so. The
German people have shown that
they do not regard themselves as
morally or legally responsible for
the enormous payments imposed up
on Germany by the Treaty OF YER
sailles and tho London conference.
II is 10 bridge this gulf between the
French and German peoples tnat
the conference OF premiers Will en-
pioy new materials and new factors
not applied before.
One of the powerful levers that
will press for harmony between
France and Great Britain on the
Preparations question is the danger
of a terrible war in the Near East
and Eastern Europe, involving both
the British empire and France. The
Increasing contumacy Of the Turks
and Russians at Lausanne, together
with the reports of troop move
m rents toward Mosul and Constan-
tinople, are taken by some observ-
ers TO mean that the Turkish ma
tionalists are willing to have their
questions submitted to the arbitra-
ment OF the sword. They appar-
entity rely upon the Russian red
army as an ally in case the war
should broaden to include Rou-
mania, as the Russians are intent
upon reclsiming Bessarabia and
might seize the opportunity to join
Turkey in a war against the west.

I From the national standpoint, the
! balance shows even more marked
| gain. Nineteen-twenty-tw found
the American people just emerging
| from depressed economic conditions
that had resulted from the blunder-
ing conduct of affairs by the Demo-
cratic administration. While the
nation was in progress Of better
ment, It was uphill work. The past
twelve months. has witnessed sub
stantial progress in practically every
direction. Agricultural conditions
have. notably improved. And the
condition of other industries has
registered as conspicuous gain. I'm
employment has been eliminated.
The return of prosperity that was
prophecy on January 1. 1922, is
a reality on January 1, 1928. Elk
port and import trade is increasing.
Protection is in force and is slim
ulating American industry. Taxa
ton is decreasing. And domestic
affairs generally have been placed
on the way TO constructive prog
ress.
There is nothing OF the pharasa1-
cal in the satisfying thought that
the end of 1922 finds America not
as other nations, which are further
back on the road 10 postwar ad-
justment. but there is sincere rever-
ence. America owes it's gain not
only TO the statesmanship OF the
