Mr. Wilson seems to insist that the 14 points still constitute the guiding principles of the conference, whereas, when the map of Europe is redrawn to conform to the findings of the confer ence, there will be found more excep tions than conformities to these prin ciples. It has become evident to any one who wishes to see that neither the governments nor the peoples are pre pared to accept a League of Nations which will offer real guarantees for the future peace- of the world.

INSIST ON ALLIANCES Many of these nations are in the for mative period and they will have to prove their ability to maintain those territorial concessions before interna tional relationships' can approaoh even the pre-war stability. The Insistence of popular opinion in the United States that the Monroe doctrine be given full recogniyon by , the European powers waa an instinctive recognition that the disequillbrlatloa of Kurope might threaten the Amercan continent. Why should American affairs be more sub ject to Interference by a politically cha otic Europe than natural laws make them? , Since the beginning of the conference It has been more and more evident that the governments of Europe intended to maintain armaments ' and make military alliances, Which "they consider the only method of retaining their newly ac quired possessions or defending them selves against the aggression of their neighbors. France might have taken the lead .in the construction of a League of Nations which would really have con stituted a federation ' of the world. She would have benefited more than any one else by such a creation, , but the machinery 4f the French government, ae well, a France's enormous influ ence with countries in the enter and east of Europe, has been used to pre-, pare the way for military alliances and for a strengthening of those nations on which France was to rely, and a cor responding' weakening of those nations which might prove hostile. FUTUBE , DA7T0EB SEEIf By the time France realised her mis take in belittling the League of Nations It' was too late, because the loose for mula proposed by Great Britain for a League of Nations had already been accepted. Mr, Wilson 'himself had no plan definite enough to be adopted. France's attitude on the League of Na tions was decisive. It lay in her power to make or. break it. So great was her prestige that alt the nations would have taken their; cue from the French atti tude. . Mr. WUson refuses to recognize the situation and continues to press for a partial application ef the principles of the new international gospel, whereas the application of these principles In seme cases and not in others constitutes a real danger for the future peace of thirope. It must : be one thing or the other. It should either be a real con federation of the world, or each nation should be allowed to adjust its treaty relationships according to Its best inter ests in order that a real equilibrium ot power may come to Europe as soon a possible. . - s. .?" :. ; ' In actual evente, Europe Ma " moving rapidly toward t; the reestabllshment of military alliances.

GREAT BRITAIN WAS IN TRAP Fiume Not Mentioned in Treaty, and President Declared That It Could Not Be Spoil of War. By Jastia MeOrath (Editorial Correspondent of Unlrertal Serried . Washington, May . President Wilson has been accused of inconsistency in re fusing to recognise the Italian claim; to Flume and recognizing the claim of the Japanese In the Shantung peninsula. As a mere matter of fact, disregarding the ethical considerations involved In each case, has he been inconsistent? The situation i which confronted the president and the American high . com mission was difficult. They learned be latedly of the existence of the secret treaties between Great Britain and France with Italy and of Japan with China. ' j ITALY FOBCEJD BBITAiy Both of these treaties were In the na ture of concessions made under com pulsion. It was essential to Great Brit ain and France to keep Italy in the war. The price demanded bjr Italy for stead fastness to the allied cause was import ant concessions on . the Adriatic coast, including practically the whole of Dal matia and -adjacent Isles. The price demanded by Japan for ber aid to the 'allies; was the German con cessions on the! Shantung peninsula. When she had obtained a foothold In Rhantungr. Japan compelled China to THE RUG.

" INSISTS OIT BEFU8AL - Great Britain and France would not consider breaking their agreement with Italy In any particular. The president, therefore, felt obliged to make the Unit ed States a party to the validity of this agreement otherwise no unit peace could have been possible. But as the -secret treaty made by Great Britain and France with Italy did not cede Flume to Italy, the president declared there could be no extension of Italy's claims and that Flume should go to Croatia as a port through which the new republics made out of Austrian territory could find an outlet to the sea. In other words, all the president did wa to insist that Italy be bound by the exact terms of the special treaty she made with Great Britain and France.

' By Paal Scott Jlowrer ; Special Cabla to Tha Jonm.l and Tha t'hief Daily Jiewa, . (Copyright. 1019, by Chicago pally Jfewe Co.) , Pads, May . Only two questions now stand In the way of concluding peace with Germany. The first is. "Will Germany accept the treaty?" The second is. "Will the allied parliaments ratify It?" W'ith regard to the first question opinion may be said to be evenly divided t with regard to the sec ond It ia almost unanimously believed that the parliaments will acquiesce. If the national parliaments were al lowed to refuse certain clauses or de mand changes in them there might be considerable delay and difficulty, but the principle seems to have been adopt ed that the treaty must be accepted or rejected as whole. Thus a legislature which objected to one clause would have to refuse the whole treaty in order to get this one clause changed. It is felt that given the world's present chaotic economic and political situation, no al lied legislature would take the responsi bility upon itself of rejecting the whole treaty, obliging the peace conference to reconvene and reconsider the work to meet the objection, thus making the re opening of disputed questions inevitable. Then U is a. psychological certainty that the other legislatures would also make objections and one by one all the knotty problems of peace would again be pre sented to- the statesmen. It would (simply be a world-wide invitation to dls . i . For all these reasons the parliament. It is assumed, may object eloquently to this or that part of the work accom plished by the negotiations, but vfhen it comes to a showdown. they wlll( ac cept. .The period necessary for' ratifi cation is estimated at a maximum-of three months. - when sranariei mbneye J ' ""T1! i i n air m i. r 1 II I I ( I
