As between the politicians of the twe parties, it is a race to see which can find the most mud to throw at the other. The Dmocrats hope to discredit Daugherty, but the Republicans foresee that the on!v way to convict Daugherty of alleged dl'atormess in prosecuting war frauds must necessarily include the showing up of frauds, or alleged frauds, that recurred while the Democrats were In office. At that point the Republicans count confidently on kicking the bail back to the Demoorats.v They confidents exptet the odium will fall less on Daugheitv for alleged dUatoriness in prosecuting the frauds than on the Democrats for permitting the frauds to occur. Also the Republicans expect to be able t impugn several former members of the administration, who, after the war ended acted as Dwvers in various matters arising out of the war. The whble thing wdl be a competition In ingenuity between the two parties as to which can most furiously discredit the other.

In recent weeks the first really sensible eftort has been made to deal with the situation. If a way can be found hy which Germany ran borrow money internationally and thus meet the French reparations claims, then it will be possible to find a Umiuk for bargaining as between France and Great Kiltain, for. despite all that has been said to the contrary, 1 am sattafted that it Is monrv that France moat wants. Unless the money is forthcoming, I believe sincerely that in tne end France will crush Germany. But.it the money is offered, there is small reason to believe that the French peasant, who runs Franoe, who pays the taxes, will refuse the payment because of any militaristic or nationalistic ferment. But until th way is found to provide the monev, a conference on the question of armaments or reparations, a conference like Washington or like Genoa Is bound to be futile. Least of all can the United States, which Insists that France pay the $4.ao0.(Ki0,0i'0 loaned to France to be used In a battle wrlth a common enemy, undertake to persuade France to reduce her claim against that enemy for devastation done with the deliberate purpose of erasing France as a great power in Europe. And this Is equaly true of the similar Sum owed by France, to Britain, but the British have long ago foreseen this (act and have not the smallest Idea of collecting a penny of it. -- have but one end. America talked of British resignation of sea supremacy, th British of having maintained equality la theory and in practice something more. In France and on the continent general, ly Washington was regarded as a tre mendous British triumph and a Japanese victory as well. It was also identified as a French defeat. But no Frenchman believed tnat, had the French case been better presented, it would have failed to enliat American support. Therefore th French said.

But I have wnndeted a bit from my subject Washington was a partial suocees, a complete success so far as capital ships as between the three great sea powers were conierned, because all three wanted to make a haigain and the denlr waa known in advance.' It was a partial failure, bemuse in the case of France and in the matter of submarines, France was not ready to make a bargain on the only terms offered, and due care was not taken to discover that fart in advance. Genoa failed because there waa general disagreement, total disagreement between Russia and the western nations and the situation was further complicated by the profound divergencies between the western And, in the present situation In Europe any new conference must fail for similar reasons. Conferences do not settle things, they amply record the desire for settlement, when that has arrived. Why, after all, ha the league of nations ceased to figure in all Important Slmplv because to refer any questions? quest 'on of major importance to the league Is merely to transfer to that field all the battles now fought out in conferences, or in the supreme council. The league of nations could have accompllahed exactly as mm b as the Washington conference had the parties in interest taken to Genoa the state of mind they If the Genoa brought to Washington. conference had taken place at Geneva nothing would have been changed but the battlefield, and the same is true ee far as Washington Is concerned. nations-themselve- Meeting Is Forgotten. was more Interesting to me recent trip to Europe than foreign comment upon the Washington conference.
