PEACE, ¥ ‘Note to America Completes Entente Argument ngton, Jan.. 18.—Sir pring-Rice, the British ambassador, jte yesterday presented to the state bpartment a note signed by Arthur alfour, the new British Minister supplementary to | of January 10 last 'he new note parallels in spirit and racter the reply in which the En- te stated the objects sought by Bpat Britain and her allies in con- Puing the war and their determina- to act with gll their power and ‘every sacrifice to bring the war to ictorious close, but amplifies the ide of the Entente. The present explains why among the objects t by the Entente are the expul- p of the Ottoman empire from rope, the restitution of Alsace-Lor- ine to France and the restoration of alfa. Irredenta to Italy. The Note. Th, note follows: London, Jan. 13. fis Lxcellenc,\' the Right Honorable Sir Cecil Spring-Rice: fin sending you a translation of the flied note I desire to make the fol- wing observations, which you uld bring to the notice of the ted States government: L gather from the general tenor of president’s note that, while he imated by an intense desire that bs should come soon and that hen it conics it should be lasting, he s not; for the moment at himself with the terms should be arranged. nment entirely 'When a p\ oduct has bcr\n used fauh- lly for more than 60 years—it must fhave real merit and it surely must do [what pcople say it will.

It is an antiseptic wnh n healin; power, Cecil | least,. with the president’s ideas; but they feel strongly that the durability of peace must largely depend on its character and that no stable system of international relations can be built on foundations which are essentially and hopelessly defective. This becomes clearly apparent if we consider the main conditions which rendered possible the calami- ties from which the world is now suf- | fering. These were the existence of sreat powers consumed with the lust of domination in the midst of a com- j munity of nations ill-prepared for de- ! fense, plentifully supplied, indeed, 4\\1(!\ international laws, but with no machinery for enforcing them, and weakened by the fact that neither the boundaries of the various states nor their internal constitution harmon- ized with the aspirations of their con- stituent races or secured to them just and equal treatment. That this last evil would be great- ly mitigated if the Allies secured the changes in the map of Europe out- lined in their joint note is manifest, and I need not labor the point. It has been argued, indeed, that the expulsion of the Turks from Eu- rope formns no proper or logical part of this general scheme. The main- tainance of the Turkish empire was during many generations regarded by i statesmen of world-wide authority as essential to the maintainance of Eu- ropean peace. Why, 1is it asked, i should the cause of peace be now as- sociated with a complete reversal of this traditional policy? The answer is that circumstances have completely changed. It is un- necessary to consider now the creation of a reformed Turkey, mediating between hostile races in the Near East, was a scheme which, had the Sultan been sincere and the Powers united, could ever have been realized. It certainly cannot be rea- Ilized now. The Turkey of ‘“Union and Progress’ is at least as barbarous and is far more aggressive than the Turkey of Sultan Abdul Hamid. In the hands of Germany it has ceased even in appearance to be a bulwark of peace and is openly used as an in- strument of conquest. Under German officers Turkish soldiers are now fighting in lands from which they a long been expelled, and a Turkish government controlled, subsidized, and supported by Germany has been of ynassacres in Armenia and Syria more horrible than any record- ed in the history even of those un- happy countries. Evidently the in- terests of peace and the claims of nationality alike require that Turkish rule over alien rvaces shall, if pos- sible, be brought to an end, and we may hope that the expulsion of Tur- key from Europe will contribute as much to the cause of peace as the restoration of Alsace-Lorraine to France, or Ttalia Irredenta to Italy, or any of the territorial changes in- dicated in the allied note. Evidently, however, such territorial rearrangements, though they may diminish the occasions of war, provide no sufficlent security against its re- currence. If Germany, or rather those whether | in Germany who mold its opinians and control its destinies, again set out to domineer the world, they may find that by the new order of things the adventure is made more difficult, but hardly that it is ‘made impossible. They may still have ready to their hand a political system‘ organized through and through on a military basis; they may still accumulate vast stores of military equipment; they may still persist in their methods of attack, so that their more pacific neighbors’ will be struck down before they can prepare themselves for de- fense. ' If so, Europe, when the war is over, will be far poorer in men, in money, and in mutual good:will than it was when the war began, but it will not be safer; and the hopes for the future of the world entertained by the rresident will be as far as ever from fulfillment. Scraps of Paper. There are tho$e who think that for this disease international treaties and international laws may provide a suffi- cient cure. But such persons have ill learned the lessons so clearly taught by recent history. While other na- tions, notably the United States of America and Britain, were striving by treaties of arbitration to make per- petual, Germany stood aloof, Her historians and philosophers preached the splendors of war; power was pro- and the general staff forged with un- tiring industry the weapons by which at the appainted moment power might be achieved. These facts proved clearly enough that treaty arrange- ments for maintaining peace were not ilikely to find much favor in Berlin; they did not prove that such treatles, onec made, would be utterly ineffec- tual. This became evident only when war had broken out, though the sought demonstration, when it came, was averwhelming. So long as Ger- many remains thé Germany which, without a shadow of Justification, overran and barbarously ill-treated a country it was pledged to defend, no state can regard its right as secure if | they have no better protection than a solemn treaty. The case is made worse by the re- flection that these methods of calcu- lated brutality were designed by the Central Powers, not merely to crush to the dust those with whom they , were at war, but to intimidate those with whom they were still at peace. Belgium was still at peace. Belgium was not only a victim, it was an example. Neutrals were intended to note the outrages which accompanied its conquest, the reign of terror which followed on its occupation, the depor- tation of a portion of its population, the cruel oppression of the remainder. And, lest the nations happily protected either by British fleets or by their own ! from German armies, should suppose themselves safe from German methods, the subarine has (within its limits) assidiously imitated the bar- barous practices of the sister service. The war staffs of the Central Powers are well content to horrify the world lif at any time they can terrorize it. claimed as the true end of the state, | If, then, the Central Powers succeed, it will be to methods like these that they will awe their sucqess. How can any reform of international relauons be based on a peace thus obtained? | Such a peace would represent the triumph of all the forces which make war certain and make\it brutal. methods on which civilization relies to eliminate the occasions aof interna- tional dispute and to mitigate their ferocity. Germany and Austria made the present war inevitable by attack- ing the rights of one small state, and they gained their initial triumphs by violating the treaty guarantees of the territories of amnother. Are small states going to find in them their pro- tectors or in treaties made by them a bulwark against aggression? Terror- ism by lan@ and sea will have proved itself the instrument of victory. Are the victors likely to abandon it on the appeal of neutrals? If existing paper, can fresh treaties help us? If they be crowned with success, will it not be in vain that the assembled ‘na- tions labor to improve their code? None will profit by their rules but Powers who break them. It is those who keep them that will suffer. Conditions of Durable Peace. Though, thergfore, the people of this* cauntry share to the full the de- sire of the President for peace, they do not believe peace can be durable if it be not based on the success of the |allied cause. For a durable conditions are fulfilled: The first is moved or weakened; the second is ! that the aggressive aims and the un- scrupulaus methods of the Central . Powers should fall into disrepute among their own peoples; the third is | that behind international law and be- | hind all treaty arrangements for pre- | venting or limiting hostilities some form of international sanction should be devised which would give pause to the hardiest aggressor. These conditions may be difficult of fulfillment, But we believe them to be in general harmony with the Pr | It would advertise the futility of all the{ treaties are no more than scraps of | peace | can hardly be expected unless three, that existing causes of international | unrest should be as far as possible re- | 1 dent’s ideas, and we are confident that none of them can be satisfled, even imperfectly, unless peace be secured on the general lines indicated (so far as Europe is concerned) in the joint note. Therefore it i§ that this country has made, is making, and is prepared to make sacrifices of blood and treas- ure unparallelled in its history. It i bears these heavy burdens, not merely that it may thus fulfill its treaty obli- | gations, nor yet that it may secure a | barren triumph of one group of na-; i tions over another. It bears them be- cause it firmly believes that on the stccess of the Allies depend the pros- | pects of peaceful. civilization and of | those international reforms which the best thinkers of the New World, as of | the Old, dare to hope may follow on the cessation of our present calamities.
