Tli/ff allied statesmen real 17M tlmt once consideration of any part of the Pole's proposals begins pacifist and Socialist (dementh are at once en* allied to take up discussion which will embalm** their govuriunnets. President Wilson's own view of what reply shall be made ^obviously cannot accurately be ascertained at the pres ent time. Mis latest public pronounce ments on the most vital of the pro posals Pope liencdlct makes are In teresting. When the new Russian Government was wavering ??n the point of making a separate peace and declaring for no annexations and no indemnities tin1 President in a message to the Kussian people declared : "Of course the Imperial (iennnn ; Government and those whom it is] using for their own undoing are seek- j Inn to obtain pledges that the war Will i elect in the restoring of the status j quo ante. It was the status <|u?j ante out of which this iniquitous i war j issued forth; the power of the eiii- i pi re and its widlnxpread domination j and influence outside of that empire, j Its status must be altered in such j fashion as to prevent any such hideous thing from happening again." Two days later in bis tlag day ad dress the President referring to the military masters of Germany said: "If they secure i>eace now with the Immense advantages still in their hands which they have up to this point apparently Rained they will have justified themselves before the German people, they will have gained by force what they promised to. gain by it; an Immense expansion of Ger man power: an immense enlargement of German Industrial and commercial opportunities." In 'his war address to Congress, the j President declared for spending the j whole force of the nation if need he to check and nullify the pretensions and power of the German military autocracy. This phrase, now uni-, accepted as the war aim of all the Allies, the Entente diplomats contend hardly tits in with a restora tion of the status quo before the war. a return of (Jermany's colonies and no restitution for Belgium. The one point on which Germany might stick, diplomats believe, is the restoration of Alsace-T/orraine. The provinces, because of their mineral deposits, are not only necessary to the j economic existence of Germany they' say. buf in the hands of France again would constitute military menace to j the whole German scheme on the western frontier. A neutral diplomat today ventured the opinion that Ger many, beaten, would concede all er cept the loss of Alsace-Lorraine. ? j Allied diplomats apd American 1 otHcials alike realize Mutt the answer \ to the peace proposals, involves one of j the most delicate tasks of the war. j They realize that the people of a war-! worn Europe, whipped by pacifist and | Socialist agitation, must have a con-; vincing answer to a proposal to stop the fighting and still be held true to their war aims. They do not wish to leave Germany in the position she has worked so hard to attain?the position of offering i?eace to the world and having it rej<?cted. REV. T. J.
