has been accepted as essential to
any peace settlement. But the
question left unanswered by the
British Prime Minister and the
French Premier is what formula is
to be offered the world for the set
tlement of territorial disputes.
Herr Hitler says his method is to
take by force what he believes has
been wrested from Germany by
force. Mr.. Chamberlain says Britain
cannot recognize seizures by force
and that reason and negotiation
must supersede coercion.
Some One Must Suggest.
These two viewpoints reveal a
btalemate which some day must be
broken. Will any of the belligerents
Britain or France or Germany
suggest the solution? Certainly no
neutral government dares to do it
now. But if professions of concern
about saving human lives are to be
taken seriously, whether in London
or Paris or Berlin, or in neutral capi-
tails, somebody has to come forward
with a plan to secure international
justice by some method other than
force.
The record shows that since the
Versailles treaty of 1919 was adopted,
. no important concession of terri
tory or economic resources has been
made by the victorious powers of
the last war. Many people on the
allied side insist that a defeated
government and defeated nation
does not deserve any revision of
treaty, and that the Versailles pact
was fit punishment for the aggres-
sors of 1914, just as relentless war
lis advocated as means of punish
Ing the aggressors of 1889.
But to the German mind there Is
no logic in the contention, on the
one hand, that nation must re-
main in permanent subjugation, and
that, on the other hand, it has no
inherent right to use physical force
when negotiation has failed to pro-
duce revision.
Offer No Alternative.
Efforts to convince the German
people that the present war is an
unjust adventure on the part of a
misguided ruler like Hitler will not
get very far so long as Britain and
France do not offer the German ma
ton any concessions or any program
for assuring them the Giving space"
which disinterested economists insist
is necessary for q prosperous and
orderly Germany.
The British at the outset of the
present war showed their awareness
of the Importance of separating the
German people from Hitlerism
Leaflets were distributed by airplane
and there has been a great deal
done by Britain and France to reach
the German rank and file. Yet, in
the absence of any affirmative pro-
gram by the British and French, the
German people will look askance at
efforts to persuade them to over
throw Hitlerism.
No Hitler Substitute Suggested.
What the allies have failed thus
far to do is to reveal how the Ger
man nation would be better OF
without Hitler than with him. AL
though that piece of strategy is ap-
parent in every speech declaring
that Hitlerism must be extinguished,
no method of alleviating economic
distress, which has been the true
cause Of the rise of Fascism in Ger
many, has been projected.

When Wilson's Efforts Failed.
Many in Washington are glad
there's no immediate danger of
Uncle Sans getting his fingers
burned by butting into the war with
peace proffers. President Woodrow
Wilson vainly essayed such venture
IN December, 1916, a few days after
the Germanic allies set up a specious
trial balloon, just as Hitler did on
October 6. Long before the Kaiser's
Berlin put out its feeler, the British
government had declared it useless
to discuss peace until Germany was
prepared to accept the allies ire
ducible minimum, namely, "restitu-
ton, repafation, and guarantees
against repetition" Undismayed,
Mr.. Wilson dispatched a note to all
belligerents, saying that while
leaders on both sides contended they
were fighting for virtually the same
things, neither side had ever
"avowed the precise objects which
would, If attained, satisfy them and
their people that the war had been
fought out" Lloyd George. then
Prime Minister, finally put the
quietus on peace talk by proclaim
ing: Peace must be founded on the
rock Of vindicated justice. We have
not been offered terms. We have
been offered trap baited with fair
words. Any man who, from war
weariness, should abandon the strug-
gle without achieving the high pur-
pose for which we entered upon it.,
would be guilty of the most ghastly
poltroonery ever perpetrated by any
statesman" That situation 23 years
