First Conference of Many on European Settlement Mar Come Next Month S3 mi By FRANK H. SIMONOS, D. C, May 24 WASHINGTON, Now that Oie surprise over the Fremh election returns has passed away it is both possible and perhaps useful to examine this amasing phenomenon at close range. It cannot, however, be studied by Itself, for it was unmistakably the result of things which In part took place outride of France, notably the arrival of a Isbor government in Great Britain and the appearance of a Dawes report in Paris. Five and a half years ago the world war having come to its cud rather abruptly, men and women In were discussing the 'many countries future In terms of the past. whiUi had been well nigh i!itoltuwbh.-rM4- r Wtlson famous phrase about "making the world mfe for democracy" was on many millions of tongues and peu pie of most nations were hoping and believing that the peace whit h was to be made would be a peace whkh would register the triumph of democratic Ideas and open the way to a world dominated by liberal lontep-tion- i. -- The thing did not turn out as peoInstead all ple hoped and believed the great democracies of the west. our own. were eluding swept by a wave of reaction.
