Will Guard Principles of America Keenest Diplomatic Dueling of Wilson’s Career Wait- ing Him in Europe FAMOUS MEN WITH HIM BY ROBERT J. BENDER (United Press Correspondent) HOBOKEN, N. J, Dee. 4— (With = President Wilson, en Houte to France)—Facing the keenest diplomatic dueling of his diplomatic career, President Wil- son, heading the “American com mission to negotiate prace,” started on his momentous jour- ney to France today. Detrained inthe shrewd. manew vers of historic statecraft perienced in world diplom suddenly thrust forward until the spokesman of the associated govern ments during the world war, the president leaves to guard, he says, the principles for which America fought and which are now to be threshed out at the peace table There is no doubt aw to his pur » Sarr adherence to. the well ar Petty, itt Rk RAL 9 hor tt pan of armaments on nea, his ineistence on the consummation of America’s three-year naval build ing program may reflect termination to have other nations scale down, or the United States will | scale up.

R. said Wilson n shouldn't go to the peace con- ference. So did a lot of other fellows, for various reasons. Some of them are more interested in _poli- tics than they are in peace. Some are just plainly jealous. There is a big job for the president in France. Having gone in principally to put the quietus on German militarism—on Ka Bill and his bloody band of pirates—and having succeeded, European governments have got most of what they wanted. They will be inclined to be contented. But the United States went in to end war and to make the world safe for democracy. People and president saw that the things to strike at were the causes of war. And the American objective will not be attained until something different from any “treaty” the world has ever known is signed, sealed, and de- livered. There have been treaties before. There was one at the downfall of Napoleon. And out of it grew the Franco-Prussian war. There was one at the conclusion of the Franco- Prussian war; And out of that’ Has grown the present war. There was a treaty “ending” the Balkan wars. And yet it was in a Balkan state that the germ of the present war had its being. There were two things wrong with all these treaties. In the first place, they were based either on the principle of mere punishment of the van- quished or aggrandizement of the victors. In no case was the simple dictum, “Insurance Against Fu- “ture Wars” the prime consideration. Probably the most important thing wrong with these treaties was that they were secret. Peoples and territories were traded with by diplomats and poli- ticians, and the folks most intimately concerned—the common people of the world—knew nothing, were told nothing, about it. If they had known, there would have been something different. The common people of the world would have insisted on something more than just a new diplomatic document. They would have insisted on insurance against future wars. The idea of open door diplomacy originated in America, and President Wilson was the first to voice it. No European or American politician or diplomat has shown the same enthusiasm for this idea as Wil- son. Seeing to it that open door diplomacy becomes really the order of the day is the big job that Wilson can do at the peace conference. If he does it, and if the common sense of the people of the world is active in backing him up on the program of “a war to end war,” then something will have been accom- plished to make hops snarling little pettifoggers sit up MORE U.S. MEN ARRIVE INN, Y.
