SIMONDS. ecu The Tribsne. WASHINGTON. May 27. The closing hours at Genoa only served to make doubly clear the real significance of this historic gathering, the meaning of which I have already endeavored to make clear to my readers. With Genoa terminates the British supremacy of the European continent. Once more, as so often in modern history, the European continent has returned to Its own ideas and Ideals and rejected a grandiose conception which ignored the fundamental facts from which European history Itself has sprung. Two conceptions have been In conflict the moment of the armistice the continental, expressed by France; the voiced by Great Britain and (hampioned by the Inlted States during that period while we remained a participant in European affairs. One may tuguely define the two conceptions by terming the first a policy of alliances, the second a policy of international hi 1 Anglo-Saxo- As a result you had the creation of the Polish corridor, as a consequence of French Insistence, but the founding at the sea end of the corridor of tho free city of Dansig, which totally negatived the usefulness of the corridor.

Ultimately you bad a war between Russia and Poland and the annexation by Poland of the lands to the eastward. Thus there emerged .neither .a "British nor a French' solution."

After the Paris conference the United States quit Europe, and the refusal ot the senate to rattfy the treaties removed us as a force and factor In the European For the British this proved situation.

As time passed it became clear that the treaty of Versaillea and Its pendant agreements constituted the most tragic disaster in all British . history. Depending for existence upon the ability to sell her products in the markets of the world and to earn revenue by the transport of the world's freight, the British saw as a consequence of the treatlee of Paris, not a prompt return of the world to the old conditions of peace which made for trade and commerce, but a perpetuation and even an accentuation of the wartime paralysis. Thus, In peace, the unemployment In Britain Increased by leaps and bounds until i, 000,000 men were out of work, and substantially this condition now conhope of remtinues, without edy. The need of the Russian and Germore immore and became man markets perative, but the opportunity of obtaining theee markets seemed daily to grow More and more, herefore, slighter. Insistent upon British policy became modifications ot the Paris treaties which should abolish the conditions of war and restore those of peace. Thus the British came into eo111sioi with the French over the whole reparations issue, over the occupation of German cities when the Germans violated the treaty of Versailles. Thus they took T'ii"itn'i Groupings Proposed. On the morrow of the the victory, French sought at once to preserve that which had defeated alliahce, Germany. Glemenceau and his associates conceived of a permanent grouping of the United tea, Britain and France, to which vt ere to be joined those succession aimes who owed their existence to the bl'ied victory and depended for survival upon the support of the victorious great towers. Italy was, too, to be joined to thin group, but Italy was recognized from tin outset to have personal aspirations which made her permanent association with her partners of ths war doubtful. The conception, on the contrary, was an equal association of all nations, the victorious and the vanquished. the creation of a world partnership, presently expreesad in that league of nations which was so important a detail in the Paris negotiations. The war being over, the British, thinking in terms of commerce and the Americans in terms of abstract Idealism, not unflavored with economic interests, endeavored at once to abolish the alliance which had won the struggle and replace it by a new association, including all countries. In the Paris conference the two tlons constantly clashed and in reality the actual result of this clash was the substantial failure to apply either conIt is true that a league of naception tions was created, but it is equally true that from this league most of the cen Anglo-Americ- any-prese- Hear ProfJeraian in his series of lectures at the 1922 U.

All over the continent, however, British A repolicy was creating apprehension. vision of the Paris treaties was distasteful alike to France, to Belgium, to Poland, to Rumania, to for all of whom British policy more and more seemed to take the form of sacrificing the territories and imperiling the security of recent allies solely to placate recent enemies and to open markets for British trade thereby. Thua, long before the Genoa Conference, it was possible to feel in Europe the gradual formation of a real . system of alliances. America being gone, Britain had only Italian aid to depend upon in the camp of the recent allies. But the aid of Italy carried with it handicaps. Italian policy was netly in the eastern Mediterranean hostile to British and followed the lines of the French In supporting the Turks sgainst the Poles. Italian hostility to and intrigues in Budapest not only Incensed the herbs, but aroused the apprehensions of all of the little entente. Moreoter, the domestic situation of Italy was such that Italy was Incapable of exerting a powerful influence abroad under any circumstances. The Coach a, la It Is Permanently Good ' France Draws States. We in America are accustomed to talk about the Isolation of France, but the reality of the past two j cars has been,con-so far as the continent of Europe is cerned. that France has more and more Successfully drawn to herself the states of central Europe, created or aggrandised British policy, which more or by war. less falls ip with American conceptions, has had the effect of rousing the fears and resentments of all of these states and urging them more and more completely Into alliance with France. Even Japan, with Russian anxieties, has moved to sard the Freneh in recent months, perhaps hastened a little by British action in Washington. Btill another factor must he observed. The neutral nations of Europe, notably Bwitserland and Holland, while perhaps sympathizing with British ideas on many questions, were never impressed by the British effort to bring the Russians back at the price of very large concessions and the sacrifice of principles which seemed to them as they do to us funThus the Georgian purpose damental. to recognise Russia, even if Russia refused to recognize the rights of property, found at Genoa immediate opposition in tbe ranks of the neutrals, and this opposition tended more and more to Isolate Britain. Britain, under George's Impulsion, however, tended more and more to commit Itself to two things the restoration of Germany and the recognition of Russia without much regard for ths interests or rights of ths other continental nations As British unemployment continued, as British economic conditions became increasingly alarming, Georgs mors and more threw all discretion to the winds and sought more said more earnestly to placate Russia and to protect Germany. Britain Handicapped. The natural consequence of this policy was the alienation of France and the creation of a situation in which France became the champion of the smaller states, all of which were threatened by if the German and Russian strength, either country, while still retaining Its old aspirations and clinging to drsams of revenge and the restoration of old territorial and political conditions, were restored to their former strength. In ail of this time the fatal handicap to British ifVilk-lay in the absence of Had we stayed in the I'nited States. we should undoubtedly have supEurope British and for a time at policy, ported least our wealth and our power would have fortified British views, which are In the main ours; but, with the United States out of it, power rested not with the British, but with the French, who kept an army supreme on the continent, hence the British attack In Washington and elsewhere upon the French army. If only the army could be removed, France would have nothing to offer to the smaller states In return for their support in international conferences, and would be compelled to fnake terms with the and the Germans. When Lloyd George went to Genoa he was already a defeated man. His political situation at home was compromised, but his continental situation was destroyed. He went with the purpose to bring Russia back into the circle of European powers, but to do this he had to be able to guarantee that such a Russian return would have no menace for all the border states. He went to welcome Germany ilnto the councils of Europe, but such German reappearance would only make for new discord, if he could not guarantee German acceptance of the conditions made at Paris. Rua-sia- Poincare Controls. Bo far from doing either thing. Georgs had to face at the opening the announcement of the treaty of Rapallo, which was a new and shining of idea alliance. example of the European After that the end was always In sight. Under this obvious menace all the states of the little entente, as well as Poland and Belgium, joined themselves straight off to France. Poincare, sitting in Pans, controlled the situation. Benes, the preanil the ablest mier of statesman in eastern Europe, was the open ally of Barthou. As the conference developed and George in desperation Russians, even the neutrals, Motta of Switzerland, for ezample, took ths French view.

Thus herself with Germany It is possible for Britain to bring down upon the Germane the full weight of French military power, and such an action would destroy all British hope of economic restoration in any useful time.

As for the fight to obtain a reduction of the armaments of European nations, that has been lost, because it was recognized on the continent as a flank attack upon the treaty of Versailles, Itself, since the treaty depends for Its existence upon the armies of the states which desired its survival. After three years of almost Incessant diplomatic warfare, Lloyd George has failed in his effort to organize Europe In conformity with British Interests, which are on The whole quite similar to our own. In his effort to abolish alliances he has created a formidable alliance, in hie attempt to Isolate France he has made her the center of a formidable group of countries equally desirous of preserving the status quo.
