The first acute necessity 1s to get Europe reorganized; in a ord, to deal with the politieal prob: which blocked the way to Euro- n rehabilitation and restricted the »pean markets for British produc- n. And in three short years British statesmanship has won for Britain a Dolitical position not occupied for more in half a centuary. The political job has been done. Tt been done with great efficiency and in a period of time which, if it has wpemnl Iun: in passing, will from the histo i point of view seem marvel- hort. Today British political influence is supreme in Europe, and 1ot only is Europe settling down under conditions which satisty British re- cuirements, but there fs not a con- siderable capital in Europe in which attention is not concentrated upon Biritish policy and where British pur- poses are not all-important.

I do not forecast an immediate or conomic combina- a under British leadership—that may or may not come about as conditions develop in the fu- ture—but the posibility is henceforth always there. Mr. Hoover’s rubber action, too, has had a double effect. It has enormously embittered British opinion, while the suggestion of possible reprisal in the direction of the limitation of cotton production, for example, has been taken quite seriously as presaging a real conflict. The result is the grow- ing belief here in the reality of an eventual Anglo-American economic conflict and the increasing apprecia- tion of the value of close association with Turope, and not impossibly in profiting b Results —are what count and they prove the supe- riority of our OLD Dry Steam Auto Cleaning.

In any event, despite certain ob- vious difficulties in the British eco- nomic situation which may endure still for a considerable period, but easily be exaggerated, a brief survey of the London point of view satisfles me that there is a grotesquely inexact view of the British future held in the United States, and especially {n Wash- ington, and no real appreciation of the degree to which the British future is being reorganized with the possibility of an Anglo-American economic strug- gle in mind and no understanding of the cards which have been placed in British hande by the amazing success of British foreign policy in recent ronths.

American understanding of European conditions at the moment excessively difficult 1s that we are so comfortable and prosperous that we cannot realize the state of mind of people who feel that their backs are against the wall and that they are carrying on a life and-death struggle for existence. Nor do we understand to what an extent our course seems to these people to be deliberately and calculatingly unfair | and unj us. We still talk fre quently of “‘co-operating with Europe’ | and even of “helping Europe,” but to Jiurope our actions seem netly hos. tile, and it s difficult to discover off. hand what Europe resents most, our actions or our words.
