discovered that, at thla very moment.
when tha allies were endeavoring to
stamp out war in Central Europe and
secure disarmament, enormous Quanti

to loose states. Ho had an investiga

So this was what was happening!
The report suggested the adoption of
some policy to govern this matter in

waa smothered promptly In a committee

NAL) Republican leadership In. con

way to handle the soldier bonus. That

The question la dispute Is how it should
bo paid.
Senator Lodge was among those who
thought it would be wen to make the
bonus a part of the foreign debt fund

to it, not because In bis view It would
be easier to pass the funding bill In
a form acceptable to the administration
If the bonus Is made to trail with It.

"miserable ambitions' of me small

LLOYD GEORGE OK SMALL STATES
"The great powers Should not allow
the small states, said Lloyd George
(May 23), "to use mem as catspaws
for their miserable ambitions. Prussia
had begun Just as theee states were
beginning, and at that time had not a
population as large aa Jugo-Slavia."

unlike France, could not expect any
small state, except possibly Albania, to
look to her for protection. Italy even
preferred to strengthen her old. but now
helpless enemy. Austria, as against the
powerful new state of Jugo-Slavia,
which was right at her eastern door.
such was the situation when the prob
lem of the limitation - of armament of
small states arose acutely - on May 16.
On the day before the Austrian dele
gates had arrived at St. Germain, it
had become necessary to settle, at once,
me military terms of the Austrian
treaty. It appeared that a fundamental
difference of opinion existed. In the
proposed draft of military clauses Ar
ticle II contained an American-British'
proposal that compulsory military serv
Ice be abolished, aad a "French-Italian'
proposal providing for a "one-year com
pulsory short-term service."

Here the Americans and British, both
of whom relied on see-power rather man
land-power, were expressing their- tradi
tional hostility to compulsory armies
while the French and Italians were, nat
urally enough, defending me basic tnati-
ruuoa upon which rested continental mil
itary power.
After these proposals had been submit
ted by President Wilson, Mr. Lloyd
George rose at once. (Secret Minutes,

"Article Two," he said, "raised a very
Mg enestiott of principle which would
have to be considered, not only in re

of these little states, including Rou

were each to be allowed to maintain
comparatively large armies, nothing

was essential that the council should
