AMERICAN ALOOFNESS.
ATTITUDE TO WORLD POLITICS. "(Per Press Association—Copyright.) LONDON, Feb. 15. Mr James Beck, formerly SolicitorGeneral for the United States,- writing in the "Morning Post," in a series of articles on the world outlook, defends America's aloofness from European affairs. He contends that if she became an "inter-meddling Paul Pry" it would make the confusion even worse. If the late President Wilson had not gone to Versailles there would have been a speedier and better peace. Similarly the Locarno agreement woxild have been more complicated if America had been represented at the conference there. Her refusal to enter the League be cause its constitution was structurally false to the basic principle of equality of sovereign States, will be helpful in rebuilding it on sounder foundations. In the meantime America's economic penetration into the industrial developi ment of Europe would have beneficial I results.
