THE BICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM. FRIDAY, JAN. 2, 1920.
BRITISH OUTLOOK PESSIMISTIC; NO PROSPERITY SEEN
C : By MARY HENKE LONDON, Dec. 18. Closer alliance between Great Britain and France . 1b beld probable here, since the recent conference between Lloyd George and Clemenceau on peace questions. The uncertainty of the American senate's final action on the peace treaty puts the responsibility for the enforcement of Us terms more fully on these two nations, and some, agreement will
probably be formed as to the way InJ
which the co-operation can be effected. It is generally recognized by the public that such an alliance Is probable, and no dissent la expressed. But there is a pronounced demand that if there is any sort of future alliance, it shall not be concluded in secret. Whatever the fate of the league of cations and the fourteen points, the British publio has announced that hereafter it will demand "open covenants openly arrived at" for the British nation. ; - America Needed. 'Presence of American representatives at conferences on the pease situlives at conferences on the peace situGermany, was noted with general relief. Europe does not want the United States to drop out of the peace negotiations. .American aid, it is recognized. Is as essential for reconstruction in Europe as it was for war. and Europe finds more to worry about la- the treaty situation in America, than probably America does herself. The probable adoption of reserva tlona to the treaty has not created any ' alarm here. But . the probable exclusion of America -from further peace parleys, and the effect of this action on Germany is recognized as something tangible for. the politicians to worry about.
The English are getting as sick of
reconstruction as they did of war.
The continued parleys with the Ger
mans, the failure to solve domestic problems .that are presslngly urgent, and the evident collapse of the principles involved in the league of nations covenant are factors leading to general depression. Neither the politicians nor the public seem to know Just where they. stand. A great deal is said about housing, but no houses are built; returned soldiers are decorated and left jobless;, much is said about a league of nations, but statesmen confer and there is an undercurrent of secret agreements. People are Restive But the public is getting restive. !f nothing ahead but high prices and unsettled conditions, and a revuai or prewar diplomacy. There Is no effort to evade national obligations, but there is a feeling that If mother war- should develop the
people should know just where they stand. Instead of being wakened rudely to the fact that they are in honor bound in a way which had never been revealed to them by their diplomats. All the fine things the English statesmen promised their people during five years of war seem to have
failed. The nation's morale has suffered in reconstruction. The people were led to believe that when the war ended England would be spiritually revived, socially purified, economically vigorous. Instead they see a general reaction to crime; selfishness and inefficiency, and they feel depression rather than hope when they anticipate the future. On armistice day, when all the nation stopped to pay tribute .to its dead, I stood in the crowd beside a shabby old man. He was sobbing
aloud as he stood bareheaded, lookins in the direction of France, where
his three sons lay buried. But his
grief was not so much sorrow for the
dead as dread of-what was in the future. "It's been awfuU he muttered.
"but God knows what's ahead of 3s."
And so it is with them all the
man crippled by war, the struggling
old parents, left without support; the
jobless and homeless. The war is over it was bad enough but there seems to be worse ahead.

Why Pearls Are Popular ff Pearls are today tho favprite neck ornament of .womankind. Just why they are so popular it little understood. Here is an expert's opinion: "PearU because of their peculiar iheen are 'cotnpHmentary' to every complexion. Blondes and Brunette alike can wear them with equally food reaulta. The roundneat of the pearl and the soft drape of the itring add to their charm. Any colon may be worn with them."
