INTERNATIONAL NEW DEAL

DRASTIC TERRITORIAL READJUSTMENTS

Colonel Edward M. House, who. during the war years and on to the Versailles Peace Treaty, was President Woodrow Wilson’s confidant and ad-' viser, played so vital, though unseen, a part that he was described as the President's “Silent Partner.” Writing in the “Daily Mail,” lie says:—The yellow race, led by its most progressive members, will coalesce eventually. It is desirable that this bloc should not be imbued with antagonism against the white race. But it will be thus imbued if we are unwilling to envisage a new deal internationally as well as nationally. Germany will be dissatisfied until she regains her “place in the sun.” The tension in Europe will lead to new disasters unless the imperial urge of Mussolini lias the opportunity to spend itself on African soil. Japan will see red until her crying needs are acknowledged. The four Powers possessing the world —Great Britain, France, Russia and the United States —must realise that mankind can no longer be govenered bv the adage: —“He that hath to him shall be given; and lie that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he bath.” Just as social peace cannot prevail without some adjustment of the capitalistic system, so international peace cannot be preserved without drastic territorial readjustments. Great Britain. France, Russia and the United States must receive Italy, Germany and Japan on terms adjusted to present world conditions and recognise their inistence upon being given their proper part of the colonial resources of the world.
