Two prominent American citizens
L returned from Europe last week
convinced that the United States was
fortunate not to be entangled in Euro
pean affairs any more directly than it
IS, and believing that it should remain
out of the tangle. The first of them
TO arrive was George NJ. Roberts, emf
nent Chicago banker. He said: There
is no use in our sitting up nights try
ing 10 figure out a solution to their
problems when they haven't any to
suggest themselves. Everywhere in
France and England I put the direct
question 10 men prominent in their
national life, What do you want Us
to do? How can We best help you?'
Each u had to confess that he did
not know.
with the nations of Europe war
ring and bitter against each other,
there is nothing the United States can
do and any hope of stable trade is
dim. We are d thousand times better
off out Of this tangle and l am of the
opinion that we will remain out of it.
OF course, we could keep on letting
Europe have money but bankers eX-
pect a fair return for their invest
ments and there is no fair return in
sight under present conditions"
Then came Senator Hiram Johnson
Of California, who, of course, needed
no convincing as TO American partici-
patton in Europe's affairs. He was
given a big banquet in New York and
there delivered himself of opinions
that were merely strengthened by his
trip abroad. He denounced the pro

world court, and declared Americas

war peace pacts. Though the old re-
gime in Turkey was beaten in the
war, the Turks now in control have
obtained virtually a victor's peace be-
Il they defeated the Greeks. They
recover eastern Thrace and retain
Constantinople, and the capitulations
by which foreigners In Turkey were
protected are lone away with. The
grand national assembly at Angora is
recognized by Europe. But the treaty
is not entirely one-sided. Turkey
surrenders to the British an oil man
date in Mesopotamia, to the French
a tobacco mandate in Syria, to the
Italians the island of Kastelorizo, and
to the world at large the freedom Of
the straits. The boundaries between
Turkey and the kingdom of 1raq, the
payment of pre-war concessions and
other important questions have been
left for settlement through diplomatic
negotiations.
One provision of the treaty already
has aroused denunciation by many,
including Marquis Curzon. This is for
the forcible exchange of the Christian
peoples in Anatolia for the Moslem
population of Europe-a compulsory
migration by which hundreds of thou
sands of people will have to leave
their ancestral homes. Lord Curzon
called this "a thoroughly bad and
vicious solution for which the world
will have to pay the penalty for one
hundred years to come; and one of
the British delegates said it "a "the
most ~retrograde International act in
two hundred years. The Turks de-
handed this exchange as a part of
their policy of roofing out Christian
ity from Turkey. They VIII not per-
nit the return to Anatolia of several
hundred thousands Of Armenians, and
indeed the Armenians receive no 0 n
sheraton whatever in the treaty.
What was once the vast Ottoman en-
pire is now a comparatively small
state, but it is wholly Independent and
presumably self-sufficient. Ismet Pasha
has done a great piece of work for
his country.

"A and Ismet are still trying to fix

The first is the American demand that

key during the war, or else to submit
the cases to arbitration. The second
IS the American demand that Amer

Wv the German government will

the allies. But the British are about
out of patience with the delay of the
Ouai d'Orsay in deciding whether to
accept their draft of the reply to Ber-
lin. 1t was stated in Paris that the
French and Belgian governments had
reached an agreement on all essential
points, but the foreign office made u
guarded official statement that sepa-
rate negotiations would be conducted
by France and Belgium with Great
Britain. The Belgian reply already
has been prepared. 1t holds, with
France, that there shall be no evacua-
ton of the Ruhr until passive resist
ance ends and Preparations payments
are made, but on some points 1t de
viates from the Poincare policy.
In England the belief prevails that
the French seek to postpone the an
swer until parliament rises on August
. for its autumn holiday so that in
conclusive conversations with the
British government may be continued
without demands by parliament for
quick action. At the close Of the week
it was said there might be an ex-
plosion of niger over this in the house
of commons within a few days, and
that the government would not try to
prevent such an outburst.
This is what a Belgian authority
says Of the situation: The tendency
of Brussels is TO consider the British
note as a basis for discussion. We
believe Lord Curzon and Mr.. Baldwin
are willing to yield on certain points
on which NJ. Poincare is adamant and

ing American and maybe Dutchmen
and Swiss, to study the problem, the
findings being merely submitted to

action"
