But escape Is not easy. In tjie first place. In certain respects, momentary escape has been had at a price which la not within the wish of the nation to pay. At Paris, our representatives gave "no attention to material advartagea affecting (hd United Htatea. Only in tha matter of mandates, cables, and perhaps of Yap. did they even reserve the rign to America to participate In tha fruits of the common victory. For all of our sacrifices and efforts wa had to show onlx problematical rights In tlfesa respects when President Wilson earns home, t Yet even these problematical advantages disappeared when the aenate retha treaty. Europe want calmly pulsed and allocated or abolished those .Ahead slender gains for us from the war. Nevat the same moment and on ertheless, every occasion since that time, Europe has clamored that we should return to the place which we vacated. Appeals based upon alleged duty, upon questions of humanity, upon matters of selfish Interest, have been showered upon the United Slates from the moment of Parle onward, and all of these appeals met the administration which came to power a month ago. - ' The difficulties of the situation were (patent In tha first place It waa clear that both President Harding and Secretary Hughes looked at tha war from a far of view than had Mr. ,dlfiertnl point him Wilson. With It had been a case of or the league nothing. He was little moved by any feeling for our associates In. the war; for him the Germans ceased to be enemies On the morning of November 11. He was neither Interested In helping our friends nor concerned in the task of holding our recent enemies to the terms of the treaty.

But coming to power and the new administration foundresponsibllty, two prob Jems confronting It. Germany had defied our associates, refused to compiy with the terms of the treaty of both as to disarmament and as to reparations She relied upon us for aid and expected that action by the incoming Republicans would enable her to eat ape her conquerors. On the other hand, our recent associates, while still our sympathy and cooperation, vontlnue to refuse to grant to us the restoration of the slender rights which we had preserved at Paris Secretary Hughes, then, had to face two duties. It wae essential to the Germans of the smallest basisdeprive for their belief that the United States would consent to play their champion, that we .would be led by emotions to back Germany. , It was not less to demoustrats to the British, necessary Japanese And the French that we were In no mood to talk with them as friends, as indul gent and sympathetic friends while they continued to follow a which.

Wa are not willing to sacrifice American Interests; there Is no reason under ths sun why wa should continue tn a technical state of war with Germany, when all other nations are at peace and doing business with tha German. But there la a valid reason why we should not permit bur action to Injure Britain or France or benefit Germany, when German policy has entitled Germany to no such benefit. I do not undertake to forecast that the Knox resolution will be passed, although It aeems probable. It may ba that the treaty of Versailles, minus every league will be put of nations circumstance, through. But I am sure thst whatever way may be chosen by which to make peace with Germany, tha German will draw no open or concealed support for resistance therefrom. Advantages. When Mr. Wilson went to Parts ha had two great advantages. He had a remedy for the world situation and had the power, momentarily, to employ all the vast resources of the country, subject to executive control, to the purchase of European acceptance of that remedy. Ha wma prepared to accept unlimited European responsibilities, Armenian mandates and French and other territorial guarantees, provided only he could obtain European consent to try his experiment Hie foreign policy centered about tha league of nations. It was all summed up In the attainment of that end. Now, I do not pretend to know what Mr. Harding or Mr. Hughes may believe In the matter of remedies, but It seems fairly clear that at the moment they are forced to consider the very practical Uon of world conditions. Unless or- -.
