Georjr*' Wa.'shinsrton’.s warninjr nfrainst ‘■entanjrlinp alliances" in his fart*well address took root in the spir it of the people and has bi-^Mmie, in the course of a century and a half, almost as sacred an .•\m<‘rican prin ciple as the ('onstitution itself. It "was that princi|)le which kept the American nati<m, when we entensl the World war, from becoming in any of ficial sense an “ally" of the |H>wei which weix- fiK"htin>r against (lertnaii' and Austria. We were asstniates bu' not allies. 1‘resident Wlison and the c<»nirre>s of that time took trieat pains to make it clear to all the woild that .America was fivhtinjr for its <iwn hand and wa- not bound by any acts or airree- nunts «»f the allied jtowers. .And it was the injrrain«‘d .American fear of fon-ijrn alliances, as nuK’h as an>'thmjr else, which prevent*^) th»- I’nited States from la-t-ominjc a mem- la r of the lA*ajru<* of Nations after the jtri-at war. ’ With that historical backjrroiind «!carly in mind, it is easy t4» und«-r- i-tan<l the furor w'hich has la'cn stirnsl up by th»‘ «lis4dosiire that I'residi'nt Koo««\elt had aiMhorir.isI a s«HT»t hunch mission to insp*«ct American iiinraf: fa»tt»iic- with a view to or- oeiin^ a ) lane' laijre numlM-r furhtinjf Kesull of Xccidenl JOANNA NEWS %xixxsesaaaa»s»:%x:-aaaaaaaexx (foldville, F<4>. 10.— .Mr. an«l .Mr.«. i\ W.
