You cannot find agreemetn be tween the many countries an to what Oermany has already paid or what ?he can pay. And there Is unfortu nately good reason to believe certain Interest*! In Europe do not want any such agreement. They do not want to be bothered by facts. They want to achieve certain alms. ellhlnd the scenes of diplomacy Is big blffelness. Stretching eager hands for booty these captains of Industry manipulate the parliaments and leg illative bodies of Europe as surely an \ the ventriloquist does the puppet on hta knee. Newspapers right and left are subsidized or controlled. With one or two exceptions the words "public opinion" mean the tyranny of certain groups who play upon pop ular emotion the tunes that stimulate the dance of commercial or financial ambitions. That's why governments are so In consistent and seemingly powerlesR and that's why so many Americans. after peering behind the scenes, shake their heads dubiously, pack their luggage and thank Ood for th? Atlantic ocean. At best this Is a su t?rflclal conclusion because Kurope annot attempt suicide again as she did In 1014 without Injuring the ec onomlc prosperity of the Amerlcar people.

And what is Europe doing to win American confidence? Little indeed. For one thing there is no clear con ception of what Europe must do be fore American confidence cau be gained. Europe needs a cleansing of heart. The camouflage of diplomatic notes still hides the battle of mo tives, the clash of financial aud in dustrial interests.

It Is futile to talk about repara tions or what Germany.can pay till that question of French motive is satisfactorily answered. Certain sec tions of the French populace would like to see..peace made. Others are dreaming of commercial conquest. France and Britain are drifting fur ther apart. The opportunity of America is to bring them together. President Cool Id has an unprece dented chance to go down in history a* the man who made peace in the world five years after the armistice that ended the most terrible of all wars.
