TASK DONE BY PEACE CONFERENCE ONLY ONE-TENTH OF TASK BEFORE IT

By FRANK H. 6IM0NDS. (Copyright, 1919, by the McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) It is perhaps a mere truism to remark that what remains to be done at the Paris conference is far more considerable, alike in bulk and in importance, than what has been accomplished in the treaty with Germany. Still, there may be a certain surprise in pointing, out that the treaty recently signed, disposes of less than ten per cent of the territory, which must be apportioned before the work of making peace is over, while the population awaiting allocation is something like seventy millions, as compared -with less than seven millions divided in the Versailles settlement. The allies, who have conquered Germany and imposed their peace terms upon her, have now to separate Austria-Hungary into its component racial parts, deal with the RusBO-Polish problem, the Russo-Rumanian Question, bring about a settlement so far as England is concerned, dispose of the tangled problem of Constantinople and the shores of the Straits, and im pose peace upon Bulgaria. Not less difficult is the task of reconciling the disputes between the separate races on whom the several provinces of Austria are to be bestowed, accommodating the acute quarrel between the Southern Slavs and the Italians and thus bringing order out of chaos which now extends from the Baltic to the Aegean and from the Adriatic to the Black seas. Until these things are accomplished there can be no peace in Europe, and in the accomplishment of even a temporary arrangement, there may be sown the seed of future wars. Russian Question First. To begin at the beginning, there in. the Russian problem. It may be divided into two equally important parts, there is the question of Russia Itself and the question of the various races on the fringe of the old Russian state, which are seeking independence union with other factions of their own race, who are seeking permanent separation form Russia, precisely as the Danes, the Poles and the people of Alsace-Lorraine sought liberation from the German yoke. As to Russia herself, what policy are .the allies to adopt? They cannot recognize Lenine and the Reds, both because the things these people represent are abhorrent to all the ideas of western civilization and because, unless recognized by the outside world, they will shortly collapse of their own weight. But If there is to be peace in Europe hmrr lU ZSZX VIM it 1 1 1 jJCttvtr lit " ' that the Western Powers should find some substitute for the anarchy and suicide of the Lenine regime. Apparently the allies are now placing their hopes upon Kolchak. but this decision is arousing protest in Britain and France, where Kolchak is seen as a reactionary and in neither country I j there any desire to restore in Russia the tyranny of the old stupid and cor- j nipt regime which has gone. Granted that Kolchak can overthrow Lenine and Trotzky, however, this only raises new problems. He will come to Moscow and Petrograd as the champion of a restored Russia, of a reunited Russia, and is it conceivable that he will consent, that his countrymen will consent to any treaty, by which the nations, yesterday Russian allies, shall have apportioned Russian territories between the several border states, erected a new Poland, liberated Finland, allocated Bessarabia to Rumania and recognized the independence of the several tribes of the Baltic provinces? Will Join with Germany. Instead of accepting such a situation is it not almost inevitable that the new Russia, the restored Russia, will join hands with Germany in a new partition of Poland, in a new arrangement in the Baltic lands, which shall reproduce the situation which has existed steadily since the policies of a great Russian and a great Prussian, Peter and Frederick, brought Russia to the Baltic and excluded Poland lrom the open sea? If Russia were condemned always lo be the thing it is. it would be easy to settle all the questions now raised; if Russia were conquered, after a war waged against Britain, France and Italv, then terms like those imposed I upon Germany would be possible. But neither the one nor the other condition is fulfilled. Russia was long an allv and a useful ally; she finally col lapsed and made a separate ppace, but does this justify her recent allies in treating her as an enemy and dividing her territories, cutting her off from the Baltic, in effect ratifying the terms of the treaty which her enemy. Germany imposed upon her, sword in hand at Brest-Litovsk? Unfortunately the progress of events at Paris has already resulted in the permanent alienation of Italy. Nothing is more certain than that, once the chance comes, Italy will return to her old German alliance. To insure that Russia, when she does become a great power again, as she almost certainly must, because of the fashion in which her old allies have treated her, shall also turn to the Germans is to provide for a new war, with every chance in favor of a victory by the new alliance. The real difficulty which confronts the men who have have to carry on the work of peace making Is the puzzle about Russia. We have recognized the independence of Finland, but Kolchak flatly refuses to recognize it on his part. We have recognized the claim of Poland to freedom, which Kolchak also concedes, but what is to be Poland's eastern limit? The boundaries of the old Russian Poland? But the Polish armies are in Wilma, Minsk and Kovel. fighting Bolshevist forces. Certainly if Kolchak will not recognize the independence of Finland, he will not consent to the separation of Lithuania, White Russia and Volhynia from the old Muscovite state. Nor is the dispute merely between the Pole and the Russian here. On the contrary the Poles desir to restore the old confederation between Lithuania and Poland, while the Lithuanians desire unconditional independence, and even if this were granted there is still to be settled the age-long difference between two peoples as to their boundaries. If the Paris conference gives Poland White Russia and Lithuania, it aliehates the

Rusians and the Lithuanians, if it does not it alienates the Poles. If it returns the Lithuanians to Russia it alienates both these people, and the Pales and does violence to the right of self dtermination of peoples. No Simple Tangle Then there is the problem of Riga, of Libau, of the provinces of the Cour land, Esthonla and Livonia, with a certain minority of German inhabitants and a strong separatists ' sentiment. To take these away from Russia would be to undo the work of Peter the Great, and leave Russia without acess to the Baltic. But precisely these people, are making, with Allied help, a gallant fight against the Bolshevist Russians; shall they be rewarded by betrayal to the Russians? If they are so to be, they will

unquestionably fight with German aid German troops are stil lthere j against Russia, until such time as Russia and Germany come to terms over the whole set of questions that concern them. It is, then, no simple tangle, this problem of the Baltic and Polish hinterlands. In the solving of it, the main question will necessarily be self interest of the western powers. It would be idle to expect Great Britain and France to alienate Russia by ceding her territories to Poland and one or more independent Baltic states, thus insuring a speedy combination of Russia and Germany to undo this work. The fact that every European recognizes, and most Americans disregard, is that the German victory over Russia destroyed the balance of power in Europe, which was restored only when we sent great armies to the Continent. These armies have mostly departed; their return under any circumstances is at least problematical; therefore it is of utmost importance to the western powers, if they are to exist, to prevent an alliance between Russia and Germany, which would be almost iresistible. This can only be avoided, if at all, by so framing the terms of peace as not to dissatisfy the Rusia of tomorrow, which, they must assume, will be strong and mindful of its historic greatness. That is why the whole Russian problem has continued to paralyze the Paris conference. A mistake, the "backing of the wrong horse," would be fatal. Lloyd George and Wilson were willing to flirt with Lenine, some months ago, because neither was directly exposed to Russian invasion if the reactionary faction regained control, but France is so exposed, has been invaded by Russians at least twice, in a little more than a century. and France was always opposed to that maneuvre which ended inglo-1 riously in the Prinkipo fiasco. I Italy Alienated, Germany Sullen We have, as a result of our peacemaking so far, alienated Italy and created a sullen, resentful, revengeful Germany. Both circumstances were approximately inevitable; at least there was no escape from the German detail. To add to these, Rus g,a destined to be again lhe latest rower on the continent, would be for France and Great Britain, with her Indian Empire and her Mesopotamian colony, to commit suicide. Therefore it is not going to be easy or rapid work, this settling the eastern frontiers of Poland and Rumania and the future status of the Baltic provinces. I should guess that in the end Finland would be confirmed in her independence, Poland in the possession of not much more than the old area of Russia Poland, Including Cholm, while Rumanian possession of Bessarable, which exists, icight be tolerated but would hardly be sanctioned. That is, it might be left for Rumania to settle the dispute directly with Russia, without, however, receiving In advance any guarantee from the western powers, al though no one disputes tne iact mat. the great majority of the population are Rumanian by race Even this summary retreat does not however, dispose of all the questions affecting Poland. Today Polish armies are fighting the Ukrainians in Eastern Galicia and there is an historic dispute between these peoples for the possession of Eastern Galicia, with Lemberg, the capital, which is itself a Polish city surrounded by a Ruthenian speaking country. Had Russia stayed in the war she would have annexed all of Galicia with the consent of the western powers, but what now? Will Ukralnia Endure? First of all, will the Ukraine endure as a separate state or will it rei vert to Russia? Should the western powers follow the German example and recognize the independence of the Ukraine or not? To recognize would be to' alienate the Northern Russians and the Poles; not to recognize might be to guess wrong, for the Ukrainians might gain liberty. But to bestow Eastern Galicia upon the Poles would alienate both the Russians and the Ukrainians and lead to serious consequences. .Meantime tne roies will hold al lof it, as a result of their victories and mean to hand on. Then there is the dispute with the Serbs over the Banat. Now the Banat exists to confute the Fourteen points. It has a population of 1,500,000 and there is not any race in the many who inhabit it which has a clear ma jority. The Rumanians out number the Germans, Serbs and Magyars, who are all there in considerable numbers, but the Germans and the Magyars combined would outnumber the Rumanians. Moreover, the southwestern districts are Serb, the northwestern Magyar, but to give these districts to the Serbs and the Magyars, would be to deprive the Rumanians, living in the uplands of their natural and necesary means of communication to the Theiss and Danube Rivers, by which they export their produce. Now the Rumanians claim all the Banat, and have to support their claim a separate, secret treaty with the western allies. It was a part of the reward promised them for entering the war. But when they entered they were betrayed, defeated, and compelled to make a separate peace. Does this invalidate the pledge given by the western allies? At least the Ruman ians deny it. But the Serbs assert this to be the case, point to the fact that the population of the districts claimed is Serb an dwould vote for union with the new Jugo-Slav state, and argue that Mr. Wilson does not recognize secret treaties anyway. Then the Magyars claim the districts about Szegedin, which is Hungarian, on the same ground of self deter mination. As for the Germans, close

to half a million in number,, they seem resigned to losing in any case. If the Western Allies recognize SerbIan claims and fail to accept Rumanian claims in Bessarabia, Rumania will make an alliance with Italy, which has a dispute with the Jugoslavs on her hands. Moreover Bulgaria, despite her quarrel with Rumania over the Dobrudja, might easily be placated by a promise of the Macedonian territorry she has waged three wars to acquire, and then we should have an we Balkan problem on our hands at once. To suppose that the western powers would go to war again to save Serbia is to suppose the impossible, but this is exactly what would be necessary, if the league of nations were to be preserved at all. Then there is the dispute between the Poles and the Czecho slovaks over Teschen, a tiny territory. Immensely rich in minerals, lying between Polish and Czech peoples at the headwaters of the Oder and the Vistula. A majority of the population is Polish, but the Czechs have an economic necessity to possess the land, at least they allege such a necessity, and the Paris conference once conceded it to them. Then it repented.

Now the question is open again, with the two Slav neooles at daggers drawn. To give it to one would be to alienate the other, to establish a separate state under the guarantee of the League of Nations would be to alienate both and erect an indefensible state, one more indefensible state in Europe, without any desire for independence, and with absolutely no means of defending its unsought independence or receiving aid from the nations which would thus create it. To sum up, then, the allies, with our assistance, must give Poland an eastern frontier, since they have recognized its right to exist. To do this they must assign Russian territory to Poland, yet it is of utmost importance that they do not alienate Russian national sentiment, drive a restored Russia into German arms. The same problems must be faced in dealing with Finland, the Baltic provinces, Lithuania, while there is also grave danger incident to alienating the Poles, the Lithuanians, the peoples of the Baltic provinces and the Czechoslovaks, as each or all feel their own rights, under the Fourteen Points, abridged by the necessities of the great powers. Rumanian Question Difficult. There remains an almost equally ticklish puzzle, which we may call the Rumanian question. The new Rumania is shaped something like a square, and on each of its four sides it has a near-war in progress. On the east It disputes with the Ukrainians, and thus with the territory once comprising the Russian province of Bessarabia. On the north it is at odds with Hungary over a vast area of Rumanian speaking lands, which it has taken in recent months. On the south there is the old quarrel with Bulgaria, over all the Dobrudja in general and the southern Dobrudja in par ticular. On the west there is a new quarrel with the Serbs over the western fringe of the Banat. For the western powers to recognize Rumanian claims to Bessarabia would be to alienate Russian opinion, precisely as in the north. But to fail to recognize Rumanian claims would be to deny the Fourteen Points, since the people are Rumanian and have already self-determined themselves as such, and even more serious, to; alienate the Rumanian nation, which is destined to be one of the great powers of the future in Europe, -larger in area than the mainland of Italy and capable of sustaining at least as large a population. If Rumania finds her claim denied, she will unquestionably renounce her association with the western powers. So much she has already threatened to do. But if the Serbs are denied their part of the Banat, if this injury is added to the wrong, the palpable wrong already done in the hinterlands of Trieste, where halt a million Slavs have been turned over to Italy, and to the probable wrong to be done, under the terms of the Anglo-French-Italian &ecret treatv affecting Dalmatia. then we shall have exactly the same menace to world peace tnat beroia constituted from the congress of Vienna down to the assassination of Serajevo, when the whole world was embroiled. Moreover, Italy and Rumania, two Latin states, with strong sympathies and a common enemy, might easily find a basis of agreement with Germany, looking for allies and necessarily prepared to trade upon the differences and profit by the mistakes of the Paris peace conference. Greek Complication There is also a Greek complication to be reckoned with. The Greeks and Serbs have a treaty of alliance against the Bulgarians, and Greece claims the old Aegean coast of Bulgaria in western Thrace. In addition Greece has a quarrel with the Italians, affecting northern Epirus, the Dodecanesus Islands with Rhodes, and the western shore of Asia Minor including Smyrna.

Northern Epirus is Greek by right, but Italy haa prevented Greece from occupying it, and now as the mandatory of Albania occupies it herself. The

Dodecanesus and Rhodes are Greek speaking, but Italy has held them since her Tripolitan war. Finally, the western powers promised Smyrna to Italy, but have recently permitted Greece to occupy it. Thus the Balkans are beginning to divide again, with Greece and Jugoslavia in one camp and Italy and Rumania in a second, with Bulgaria destined, it would seem, to join the Latin powers. But this makes a new eastern question and gives Germany a chance to select partners from one side or the other, while at the Paris conference, if it acts Justly, must offend at least one side, and probably both, and cannot enforce any decision it may reach in any case, since its writ will not run where it has no armies to go, and it has no. armies to fight Rumania and Italy or conquer Jugo-Slavia and suppress Greece. Both the latter frankly ask only for what they are entitled to have, according to the famous Fourteen Points. Italy and Rumania, on the other hand, can point to the pledges given by their allies in secret treaties, moreover, in the matter of Bessarabia, Rumania's claim is indisputable. There remains the dispute between the Italians and the Jugo-Slavs over Fiume and Dalmatia, the merits of which are so well known to my readers that I shall not repeat former analyses here. But it is an element in the larger calculation. 'Italy is practically outside the western alliance now, she feels herself badly treated, she resents President Wilson's criticism; she feels, not unjustly, that ( her European allies have sided with i I fresiaent wuson, ratner than witn her. If Germany is sullenly revenge ful, Italy is openly dissatisfied, therefore no solution of the Adriatic problem, that she would even consider, would do Justice to Slav rights, and no solution, which ignores Slav rights, can permanently satisfy the great nation of Southern Slavs, including the best fighting race in Europe, which is destined to rise on the eastern shores of the Adriatic. Nor can we expect the Greeks ever to accept definitely the loss of northern Epirus or the Islands of the Aegean, which have been Hellenic since the very beginning of history. Two Just Solutions These circumstances explain European dispair in the presence of the problems of peace making. "But," my American friends argue, "the league of nations will arrange everything." But how can the league of nations re concile the Serbs to the loss of hun dreds of thousands of Slavs to Italy

senting to the creation of a Greek state, which will doom all her hopes I in the Aegean and on the West Coast or Asia Minor, at tne precise moment when Britain and France, by the new peace are realizing their aspirations, both in Syria and Mesopotamia in Asia and in Egypt and Morocco in Africa? Then again, the American point of view, influenced by the fourteen points, conceives that there Is only one Just solution and that such a solution, if reached will close the de bate. Unhappily there are frequently at .least two solutions conforming to justice as laid down by the fourteen points have no application since self determination is impossible as a whole, and if the vote of the people be had in the various districts, commercial ruin will result. Finally there is the European' point of view, which no Americans reckon with, the point of view of the French and British, who have to face the eventuallyity of a restored Russia, the certainty of a vengeful Germany and the growing fact of a thoroughly dissatisfied Italy, whoe dissatisfaction grows out of the rejection of claims she holds just, which were agreed to by her allies, but rejected by President Wilson, in acordance with his views of justice, views which, in . the abstrct at least, cannot be disputed. If Germany, Russia, and Italy find a common basis lor co-operation in uDsetting the present settlement in Europe, where is the force coming I from to defeat them? Certainly! France and Great Britain cannot do this. Even if we sent new millions ! to Europe they would hardly arrive in time to save France from a new invasion. As for the league of nations which constitutes a real part of it and these are Britain, France and ourselves. Such briefly, then, is a conspectus of some of the remaining problems of peace, such is the unfinished business before the Paris Conference. At the present rate of increase in the consumption of native lumber in New Zealand it is estimated that the supply of standing timber will last not more than thirty years.
