Of British Stock

All the greatest men of America are
Of British stock. and their ideals and
lives were fashioned by the teachings
Of the same prophets and priests
whose thoughts were conveyed to
America through the medium Of the
same tongue as influenced the minds
of the great leaders of Britain Today
British literature flows naturally into
American channels, and American
literature in an ever-increasing flood
is pouring into British channels: The
association between the powerful
Protestant churches on both sides OF
the Atlantic is becoming every year
closer ard more intimate. The fact
that over two-thirds of the population
of the States receives the same, spirit
ual training as the people of Britain
not only weaves bonds of brotherhood
between them but must have its eff
feet in giving the same direction to
the outlook and vision Of the two rs-
tons
Memories of outrages perpetrated
by a king on the road to insanity have
too long kept these two mighty ma
tons apart. The oppression of Ire
land kept these memories alive BY
giving a sense Of continuity to tho
policy of wrong. These wrongs are
all now dead and buried There Is no
sense in artificially keeping alive the
evil passions they terminated. They
have ceased now to have any political
significance or value. and therefore
there is every prospect that they will
be allowed to subside.
The peace of the world is at stake
It is a question of the path along
which the human race elects to travel.
One leads to peace. prosperity and un-
limited progress. The other leads to
bloodshed, desolation and infinite ruin.
American and Britain together can
shepherd the world along the right
course.

IS LONDON LOSING
WORLD POWER To
FRENCH CAP |TAL?
All Europe Now Looks to
France For Their
Policies

PARIS, April 20.-France, bled
white during the war, has arisen to
such a dominant position in continen-
tai affairs that many observers and
historians declare that a turning
bee reached and. that Europe has
passed into the French era"
Britain, these observers point out,
has been forced out of the influen-
tial position she has enjoyed for
years and the powers of the CONT
nent now look to France efor leader
ship and counsel.
Foresight Ct Frances statesmen,
even in the dark days of the war, is
given credit for her present sdomi-
nance. France saw in Poland a pow
erful ally. She promised the Poles
that she would promote their inde-
pendence if the latter supported the
cause of the allies through force of
arms. France trained Poles from all
over the world, furnishing the gener-
ais and the money.
The wisdom of this course is ap-
parent now. France is in position
pTdCllCdily 10 dictate lne lOTelSH pOl-
icy of Poland. whose large army
looms as a constant menace to both
Russia and humbled Germany.
ithunia Is Ally.
France also has found an ally in
the northeast Ct Europe-Lithunia
which is close to Germany and Rus
STA.
Better relations now exist between
Italy and France than at any time
for years. The wave of nationalism
that swept over Italy with the advent
of Mussolini served to foster a spirit
of unity with France. Italy appar-
emily realized that it would be to
her own best interests to cast her lot,
to a degree at least, with the strong
France of 1928.
There seems to be little question
also that France, to gre 1t degree.
exerts influence on Belgium. Pre-
mier Theunis evidently sees in
France the Belgians' only chance to
get reparations out of Germany.
With Germany almost completely
surrounded by France and her allies,
the former enemy country is at the
mercy of her neighborhood republic.
AS recently demonstrated in the
Ruhr, France can occupy additional
German territory at will, issue Or
ders to the Germans and to degree,
at least, see that they are carried
out.
Frame has seeh the day come
when Great Britain's voice in CONT
mental affairs is heard .css frequently
month by month.
With France in such strong po-
sition the balance of wer-that
elusive thing for which statesmen for
generations have striven-in Euro
pean affairs no longer exists. In
tn view of many the power lies en-
tirely with the Quai D'Orsay.
