FEELING IN EUROPE
AMERICA'S OWN FAULT,
■ (Published in The Times.) (Received 23rd March, 3 p.m.) LONDON, This Day. "The Times,"in a leader, says:— "The Houghton report is too sweeping and exaggerated when it says that Europe has learned nothing from the war. There is also, obviously, a reply to the statement that Europe does not want American assistance. America suddenly withdrew from Europe at a most difficult time. Those hoping that the decision might be: modified were, constantly reminded that this was impossible. Therefore, it would hardly have been dignified to appeal further, and Europe started helping herself in her own way. Nevertheless, America's unofficial assistance in reconstruction work is fully recognised. '' Mr. Houghton's cirtieisms of France are not wholly justified. There have been times when dangerous tendencies marked French policy, but if one thing is certain in Europe to-day it is that the dominating motive of French policy is not a desire for war, but an exceptionally acute dread of war."
