SAYS EUROPE HAS LOST CONFIDENCE IN THE U. S.

Mrs. Isaac Born Returns and Comments on Attitude of Allies Toward Republican Senators. Indianapolis, Oct. 4. — European countries In the league of nations have lost confidence in the United States because of the failure of this country to ratify the covenant, says Mrs. Isaac Born, who has returned from a trip through France, Belgium, Italy, Switzerland and England. “The Republican senate will go down In history as something damaging not only to this country, but to the entire world,” Mrs. Born said. "The loss of confidence is evident lx France, Belgium and England. Over there they think we have broken our contract and broken our word. We lost the psychological moment for ratification, which was immediately after the war, and we can never make up for the loss of prestige which we have suffered on that account.

“They made concessions and then we refused to take the covenant. The signing of a separate peace with Germany by this country would be like turning your back on your best friend. ' “France is reclaiming fast and Belgium faster, but France will feel the war for 100 years to come. What France needs is man power. The only thing that would save the country would be an immigration It will never stand for. Labor is in a state of turmoil.”
