EUROPE’S FATE, BAKER STATES
: War Just Matter of Waiting For Them to Make Up Minds, He Says.
By United Press CLEVELAND, Dec. 3.—Newton D. . Baker, World War Secretary of War, looked toward Europe today—nhis sixty-fifth birthday—and foresaw a major conflict “as soon as the
statesmen make up their minds either that they want to fight or that they can’t help fighting.” For the present, however, the Wilson Cabinet member, who has been an ardent supporter of the League of Nations and of international co-opera-tion, felt encouragement in the § example set by the American nations. “The InterAmerican Peace Mr. Baker Conference may very well have a profound effect in curtailing the approaching conflict,” Baker said, “because all the European countries likely to be Involved must depend dn the last analysis of the economic -resources of the three Americas— copper, cotton, nitrates, beef and other essentials more abundant here. Sixty-five years, Baker said, in effect denying the “conservative” charge evoked by his opposition to the New Deal, have not changed

“At present, the two sides of the globe present a startling contrast,” Baker said, looking reflectively over Lake Erie from his office windows. “One side is apparently headed for catastrophe and war; the other is busy trying to bring three continents into co-operation to preserve peace. The principles involved are very old. The machinery needed is very new. “We have only lately learned that the modern world can not live without collective security. We must cooperate or perish.” The Wilson internationalist described the tinder-box situation in Europe as a conflict between the military forces and the common people. The former want to say when fighting shall begin, the peo ple want to delay it, Baker said. Buf when would’ war come? “As soon as the statesmen of Europe make up their minds either that they want to fight or that they can’t help fighting. When that time comes, they will turn over the situation to the military men, who will decide when hostilities are to start, in accordance with military expediency.” Economic necessity growing out of soil exhaustion is prime among causes for world unrest, Baker said, citing the assertions of “the three great nations” which seem most warlike and aggressive at the moment.
