RE-MAKING EUROPE
FRANCE MUST TAKE PART There must be French signatures to the charters and treaties that are to be the law of Europe, and the more certain we make it that Frenchmen have taken part in writing the law of Europe the more valid will be the French signatures, writes Walter Lippman. The three Powers cannot keep Germany disarmed, cannot occupy Germany, cannot enforce terms upon Germany over a period of years unless they are certain that France is with them and is one .of them. Any German settlement would break down if France was against it. and we may be certain that the views of France will be shared in very large measure by the Netherlands and Belgium, that they will have great influence in Czechoslovakia and Poland and Jugoslavia and also Italy.
