One notes that the Italian minister
of the interior, by whose authority
these things have been done, has re-
signed at the demand of Mussol1nl,
who has himself taken over the port

solini, so doing, acted in perfect good
faith, that he had been ignorant OF
the dirty, huggermugger work, that
he did require the minister's head

also true that no European combina-
ton can really be formidable which
does not include Britain, and Britain
shows no present readiness to join.
Finally, it must be decade before Eu-
rope can win clear of Il dependence
upon American financial assistance,
which today checks both the express
sion and the formulation of an anti
American policy.
Yet the fact remains that Europe is
moving toward combination to de-
gree and i'll a fashion which would
have seemed incredible three years
ago and that, in my judgment, the
driving force is not any new spirit
Of peace or any moral revolution, but
a very definite reaction to what it
conceives to be the American menace
Not Locarno, not Thoiry, not Geneva
itself, but Washington, explains the
new orientation in Europe.
Role i'm Other Periods.
We have never had to do with a
united Europe. In the Revolution
France was our ally. In the Civil
War period Russia was friendly and
public sentiment in Britain was far
too divided to permit Britain to take
y
ness. In the Spanish War period
Britain was decisively our friend. In
the World War we played a role on
the stronger side, but, apart from
the tradition Of isolation, we have
never had a distinct European policy.
This Is what makes 1t excessively diff
fiCult for Americans to appreciate the
fact that Europe is tending toward a
united policy which is at bottom pro
foundly anti-American and may easily
in years to vcome express itself po-
litically as we'll as economically.
Americans who live in Europe, or
are familiar with its present develop
ment, are profoundly disturbed, an0
what is for them most disturbing
is that. while our policy, officially
expressed, continues to anger, injure
and excite masses of Europeans, there
seems no American appreciation Of the
actual situation or accurate appraisal
of the danger which is developing.
for. in their judgment. as in mine.
it is a danger. In our own minds
we are pursuing a policy of isolation.
but to the European it is policy Of
invasion. and 1t is to this interpreta-
tion Europe is beginning to react
with a measure of violence.

they will help us by improving our
European markets, as they promote
European prosperity, and yet II seems
10 me in the long view this may prove
a rather incomplete estimate Europe
hates us, feels that it has a grievance
against us. which tends to override all
frontiers and become a continental
emotion. 1t interpretS our prosperity
as at its own expense, and 1t sees in
our politics, with respect of the debts

purpose to invade and enslave it. 1t

But beyond the parochial limits of
domestic markets and domestic
finance lie the broader fields of Asia
and South America. 1t is there that.
in the last analysis. Europe must do
battle with us if she IS to regain or
retain any fraction Of her ancient po-
Sition. She cannot live on her own
markets; we perhaps could, but we
won't. We have set in motion a ma
chine and devised a system which has
given us much. if not all. OF the po-
Europe in the last century.
In addition. through the accidents
of the war, we have been able to get
possession of very considerable
mortgage upon Europe. This mort
gage consists not merely in the war
debts, but also in the relatively enor-
NOUS private loans we have made and
are still making. So far, Europe col
lectively has not paid us back a cent
on war debts. because we have loaned
many times as much money in private
ways as~has been paid to us in con
formity with debt accords. Thus, Eu-
rope is in the position of steadily in
creasing its obligations. and the size
of our mortgage grows correspond
ingly.
Now at least one cabinet minister
of outstanding European reputation
said to me on my recent trip that
rather than pay the mortgage Europe
would fight. He was referring to the
governmental debts, but in reality
what he had in mind was the Euro
pean resentment over the American
mortgage and the steadily mounting
size of il. In his mind. the process
threatened TO so on. since Europe had
no means of paying us back in gold,
and our tariff walls excluded goods,

gle hold.

venture TO say, then, that under

hatred of the United States is at the

in Paris interpreted for me the Thoiry
conversations and the Franco-German
reconciliations and combinations as
no more and no less than the\ first
coherent manifestation of a European
combination against the United States.
In my Judgment that Interpretation
was correct.
It is true that the present move
ment toward combination in Europe
is still in it's earliest stage, and In
the end the traditional divisions be
tween nations and races may prove
too strong to be overcome. But in
that event it is difficult not to share
