AMERICA'S ALOOFNESS.
ARTICLE BY APOLOGIST. MEDDLING NOT HER POLICY. Australian and N.Z, Cable Association. (Kecd. 5.5 p.m.) LONDON. Feb. 15. Mr. James Beck, formerly SolicitorGeneral for the United States, contributes to the series of articles on the world outlook in the Morning Post. He defends America's aloofness from European affairs. The writer contends that if America became an inter-meddling Paul Pry there would be confusion ' worse confounded. If Mr. Woodrow Wilson had not gone to Versailles, he says, it would have been a more speedy and a better peace. The Treaty of Locarno, moreover, would have been more complicated if America had heen represented at • the conference there. Her refusal to enter the League of Nations because its constitution was structurally false to the basio -principle of the equality of sovereign States would be helpful in rebuilding the League cn sounder foundations. In the meantime America's economic penetration and industrial development in Europe would have beneficial r< suits.
