Tin* basic d illicit ll.v In solving reparation* was distrust. The ina in problem in disurmlng Eur ope ami reduciiiK the hurdeusome expenditures oT peace-time has been susplchdi. Now with the spirit ol l.ocariio still undimin ished t he nations have welcomed til l many and ? iven huck to her many ol tin privileges which she lost at Versailles. In th?* peace treaty Germany was regarded as a vanquished nation she waa forced to hIl-ii a coulession of guilt as well as an acceptance of for ? i?n supervision in regulating the size of her army and navy. Now Germany sits with the oth er nations a ml can exercise a veto such as she used to have In the family of nations. No big politi cal problem in 10 u rope can be solved without her consent. The Council of the League Is made up of sovereign powers each of whom must agree before any affirmative action can lie taken. And why do (he nations of the world including France uow ac cept Germany lb-cause they ! have seen that the democratic movement in Germany Is sincere and that while love of monarchy may he present as a traditional af^ feci Ion, the- rule of llie people ie lirrnly established agiilnst uu toe* nicy. To hoiih' extent, therefore, the slogan of t !??? wur - to make the world safe for democracy has been realised. For France regards democratic Germany an a safe member of 111*' Coiliirll of tbt League ol Nations. Il is true that Spain has resigned, hut the loss of Spain Im made up for tlo- admission of Germany. Spain Ih not a warlike nation. She it having domestic troubles now and wlo'ii tin* sober slatesmannhlp of Madrid Home day considers the value of being on the inside espe cially when the Mediterranean problems rl.se attain to "plague tbe F,uro|ican powers, the neat of Spain will not he vacant. Ah for the United Stale*, the unwillingness to Join tiie l.engut has m v< r been accompanied by any ill will toward the League It self. The Washington Govern ment has wished the League to succeed so far as Furope Is cod , re r lied. To the extent that Furope Is ntahle, Amcrira benefits com inerriall). And besides the better foundation that is tin 1 1 1 for peacp In Fnrope I he more remote m rolne tin* rhanrcM of a world W*T. Oil the whole, therefore, offi cials here can truly rejoice thai the |/>(iL'iie of Nations is no long er a league of victors, lint u fam ily of equals a gathering ?f pow*> erfnl sovereign slates. The United SI ill' . already in Joys some of the lieli' lit"" of the League, having Jolio d in ft! V< I II i 1 1 1 ? ? i national conferences. Also, the United Stales has bound Itself by thirty treaties to refrain from hostilltlee with tliliiy respective nations un til nine months have elapsed ih In I he outbreak of unfriendliness and an impartial investigating commission ban reported. This principle which was embodied In to the league covenant and mod elled after the treaties drawn by William Jennings Itryan when Srcreiary of Slate, assure the world against Aggression by the United States.
