' America must participate, in interna tional affairs to a much greater extent than it has in the past if it intends to prevent suffering in this country in the future, in the opinion . of Bishop G. Mott Williams, head of the Epis copal church of Europe. Bishop Williams is just 16 days out of Paris, and, being a recognised stu dent of .foreign affairs, brought; a freshness of viewpoint on affairs across the Atlantic that makes his opinions of particular value. He is the first of the Episcopal church officials to ar rive fpr the church convention to.be held here next week. Included , in the territory", over which Bishop Williams has charge for the Episcopal denomination is ' France, England, -Germany, Italy, Switzerland, the Balkan states, Spain, Holland and Belgium or practically all countries east of Constantinople. TRADE SEEDED "So much has been said of repara tions that this might be " considered the outstanding feature of internation al affairs, but restoration of trade is a much more imporant feature," said Bishop Williams. , "The United States has felt that she is not responsible for European affairs, but this country must be responsible. This country must take a keener inter est in the affairs of Europe and it would be good business for this coun try to be as liberal as business judg ment will allow in the matter of reparations and debts. ' , s'The world is too closely knit " to gether for America to . overlook this vital question. No European country can meet disaster or. bankruptcy with out' America sufferings. The world-is small as can well be attested by the fact that it has taken me only 16 days to come from Paris. "Devastated - areas . of - France may seem to need reparations as a means of repairing damages, .but the whole people of France need trade restoration mora badly. ,v SEEK FAT OS , "The peace of Europe dependupon keeping Germany a republic- If Ger many . dees remain a republic - there will be no more Var from that country, for the people are sick of its terrors. But the - easiest way to ruin the re public is to demand reparations from it. I speak nothing of justice when I make this statement, but assume a business standpoint only." - Bishop Williams made an automobile tour of Germany and France , less than a month ago. He found tho country places showing no evidence of the war, but said that all city, people look bank rupt and sad with business of all kinds being conducted , on a losing basis.. The visiting Bishop said that anyone who thinks the peasantry of either France or Germany can be called to war again, has another think coming. CH1CKESS SCARCE ' " During his automobile tour the bishop said he saw an average of . not more than one automobile to every 60 miles traveled and during . his entire 'stay in Germany saw but one chicken, which he viewed as such a veteran that its life was safe, even in that hungry land. Bishop Williams is a native of North ern Michigan and following the con vention here will visit a Jew days at his former home before returning to Europe.
