LOOKING FOR THE EASIEST WAY OUT
In Germany there arc mysterious rumblings. A weak
ened nation is digesting the horrors of war and her mind i
upon the avoidance of further horrors. Germany is looking
for the easiest way out.
In tlie United States the authorities say there is to he no
haste in sending troops to France now, the first contingent ans
wering the entire purpose for which it was sent, and that pur
pose was sentimental.
In Great Britain Lloyd George, while declaring that it wil
be disaster to the world if the far eiids'Ti'cforc the allies win
declares in discussing peace.
No ore wishes to dictate to the Genoa people ihu form oi
government under which they should choose to live. But ii
is right we should say that we will enter into negotiations wit I
a free g',\ern nent of Germany and with a differ
cut spir’d and with less suspicion and mitre confidence that
we should with a government whom wo fool today to be domi
anted by the aggressive and arrogant spirit of Prussian mil
itarism. All the allied governments will, in my .judgment, In
acting wisely If they draw thatdistinction in tftcir general
attitude toward the discussion of peace terms.
rF11is is a view that does not seem to fit altogether witl
that ot President Wilson, whose program, if we understand
Ins speech, has he 1 i more ambitious. But LI >\d (>rgv cm
lnently assumes the correct view. Germany’s form of govern
m nt i- .lot <ui issue aiid should not he, and we have not buck
led on the snhor to enforce our political ideas upon mankind.
Llovd George’s stab meat is a much broader one than official
dom in England was wont to make in the war’s beginning
when it was the outspoken intent to “crush Germany and bring
her to her knees,” and to “eliminate her as an economic
unit,” ns a hold adventure in oratory put it.
There are other signs that seem to he of peace. The stag
gering load ha- not been lifted from the Allies should i s The
entrance of the UnitiI States umjiiestionahly lias added im
measurably to the difficulties of the central powers, and those
difficulties are going to he inereasd immeasurably as the Un
ited States falls into line with the unlimited resources now he
ing assembled. It’s a ripe moment for all to halt to talk
peace.
W’liat a glorious deliverance of the angel now could d *p in
and save the United States from sacrificing a single mi.
