THE U. S. INFLUENCE FOR PEACE

THE U. S. INFLUENCE FOR PEACE
It is being freely sold thot in some
mysterious manner President Roosevelt
holds the peace of Europe and Of the
world in his hands; that word from
him would stop the war.
That IS q frightening power and re-
sponsibility to attribute to any one
man. II t we're literally true, it is hard
TO see how any man could foil inmedi-
oteIy to exercise that power.
To whot extent is it true. and in
whot noonner9 Let US see.
First, :. is all too clear that the rest
Of the world would not stop fighting
merely because the President of the
United Stotes told it to. We have long
and bitter experience to prove thot. We
have the feet thot the President, using
only mora; suosion, asked most eorn-
esty on Aug. IS, 1889, that the war be
avoided Ic virtually identic notes to

otions could be orroneed Poland re-
Piled fovcfably, and Roosevelt trons-
mitted its reply to Hitler, again opPeoI-
in that "countIess human lives can yet
be saved, and hope may still be re-
stored if you will agree to the
pacific me ans Of settlement accepted
by Poland :" In vain
There is no reason to believe that
today an appeal on purely humoni-
torion grounds would have any effect
at all
On whot ground, then? Only on the
ground of action, immediate or poten-
tioI, by he United Stotes. Even the
peace appeal of former Ambassador
Cudohy bod an "or else"
What oetion, then?
One possible oction would be to
threaten the British with cutting off all
material old Perhaps, seeing then that
they could not win, the British would
sue for peace, which, based on the ex-
listing mlitory situation and the known
German ambitions, could be little diff
ferent from the "peoce" Of complete
Gernon victory.
Anotker possible course would be
to threoten the Germans that we would
declare war If they refused peace
based on the Eight Points But thot inn
plies willingness to back up the offer
with an "cr else" which is just the pos
sibiIity which those will not admit who
ore most Jealous in suggesting peace.
In short, any influence which the
United Stotes may now have in world
offoirs rests primarily on two things
the force at it's disposal, and it's oppor-
ent willingness to use that force to back
up the kind Of peace it believes to be
right.
The cr!y realistic influence for
peoce thot the United Stotes has at the
moment lies in building tremendous
force and lower, and committing thot
power only to the support of such BEL
Iigerents SO give evidence of being will

the right &c shift that support to any
power which at any time gives credible
