Washington, oct. 25.-In Europe

far as Americas 5 European relations
are concerned, when these humble
hand -maldens of diplomacy, the after
dinner speakers and the newspaper

room of statesmanship and permitted
to perform a desired service.
Ten months ago, when France was
about to enter the Ruhr, there was
widespread demand throughout Amer

something to prevent the step. be
nAuse of this pressure from American
public opinion, the month that pre-
ceded Frances entry into the Ruhr
was perhaps one of the most uncom-
Portable that Secretary Hughes and
President Harding ever endured, Tor
they knew there was nothing they
could do to prevent the action France
had determined to take.
Then. as soon as France was ac-
tually in the Ruhr, at least half OF
American public opinion changed ana
took the position that France was
justified. Not only because OF this,
but because of the essential nature
of the case. our government ceased
to occupy itself with the Ruhr prob

up to this week has followed policy

The theory behind this policy was
obvious and sound. There was tug

America could do which could avoid
being interpreted as friendly to one
party and unfriendly to the other.

taken on a liability of hostility from

our policy was to do nothing until
the tug of war ended. That has now
happened. Germany has ceased TO
exercise passive resistance and
France is completely victorious. This

retary Hughes in his speech at New
