MICKEY M'GREw
By EDGAR LEE MASTERS

1t was like everything in life:
Something outside myself drew me
down,
My own strength never failed me.
Why, there was the TIME l earned
money
With which to go away to school,
And my father suddenly needed help
And had to give him all of it.
Just so it went till | ended up
A man-of-ali-wOrk in Spoon River.
Thus when got the water-tower
cleaned,
And they hauled me up the seventy
feet,
l unlocked the rope from my waist,
And laughingly flung my giant arms
Over the smooth steel lips of the top
of the tower
But they slipped from the treacher-
Gus slime,
And down, down, down, plunged
Thru believing darkness.
The daily worker. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1924-1958, 1924-02-09

Revolution in itself is no abstract
principle, but a material historical
fact, growing out of class antagon-
ism, out of the violent subsection of
one class by another"

quit premature1y. They do not mean
in a military sense. of course, for
everybody understands that Perish
ing's unspent Army was ready and
eager to go on, and would have done
so with irresistible fury if Foch had
not assented to the armistice. What
the French mean when they accuse
us of leaving Europe before the war
job was finished is that We repudiated
the peace treaty which they say we
mainly wrote. and then washed our
hands as completely of the whole
European mess as II we had never
had the tip Of a finger in it. That
was not our only act of reputation.
Wilson and Lloyd George between
them argued Clemenceau and Foch
out OF their insistence upon a Rhine
frontier for France by offering them
the celebrated tripartite treaty of de-
fcnSe in case of new German ag-
gression. Then the United States re-
fused to ratify the defense pact, and
as Great Britain's adhesion was spe
officially dependent upon that of the
United States, France woke up one
sad morning in 1919 to find herself
without either Rhine frontier or
defensive alliance with the United
States and Britain. Every school
child in France knows this disheart-
ening story. Over and over again
it is discussed in terms of bitterness
in every French home between the
Pyrenees and the Alps. 1t has become
almost religion of rancor.
The Separate Peace.
What was the next aspect of Amer
lean peace procedure to confront
France? A new administration was
now in power at Washington. One
of its earliest steps was to sign
separate peace with Germany whe re-
by the United States reserved to itself
every advantage that accrued to 1t
under the treaty of Versailles. which
it signed but refused to ratify. Then,
more less simultaneously, the
United States withdrew from the Rep
arations Commission, the body set up
by the peace treaty for the purpose of
enforcing its fultillment by Germany.
These successive acts by America
would have been deplorable enough
by themselves, in French estimate
but the political effect of them in Eu-
rope, France insists, was far graver.
The direct result. you are told in
Paris on every hand. was that Germany
forthwith embarked upon policy
of defiance and evasion that persists
to this day. Frenchmen do not as
sail us as the sole architects of their
woes in Europe. or even as the chief
architects. They long since cast Mr..
Lloyd George and the British for the
roles of the chief devils. But they
are in no doubt that Perfidious AL
| bions old balance of power policy of
"protecting'' Germany against a
stronger France would have been
frustrated if America had remained
in Europe.
With their frank appreciation of our
