Allied Terms.
The l gge I "The London Morn?

terms to writing must bo accepted with a
pejifeel appreciation of the attitude of
"The Post" itself. Probably no British
paper would im-ist on stiffer terms

of the Allied conditions is designed to
free to tita world, the neutral world in
particular, but the Allied peoples as well,
a clear notion of the issues.
The main line? of Allied peace eondi
tions are rot difficult to foreshadow. De?
spite all the rhetoric wasted in Parlia?

which would come with partial repudia?
tion. Hut domestic distress will sorely
tempt unscrupulous politicians, just
tin Country we suffered for many year
after the fivil War from a rldOM agita?
tion for the payment of the nationnl debt
in pociibacks instead of gold.
If the European nations attempt to alle
v?ate their hard situation by regaining
j their lost foreign markets, we may have
'some reason to fear n saturation of our
market with cheap foreign goods. Before
the war ends Congress will probably try
:to do something to check the Importation
' o( "dumped" poods. Yet Mr. Noyes does
.not feel at all certain that Europe will
Ibe able to undersell us in our market to
any great extent. European industry,
I sadly damaged by the war, will have to Iki
i reestablished before it can again threaten
outside markets.
Besides, it is not clear that the war
wage scale car be suddenly reduced. The
laboring elaaa, so far as it can, will re?
sist a reduction, looking to present rather
? than future results. Labor will have much
political power in Europe after the
war than ii ha? now. It may, in its own
eat, decide rattier to shut off home
markets than to attempt to invade the
: LTnited states by producing cheap goods
at ante-bellum wage rates.

Sir: In your criticism.? of President Wil

and a writer of history who has always noted
that a? ?urely as republics become rich, pow

to decline. He determined, therefore, that a
long as he was In office he would prevent the
government from ever taking a ?Ingle ?tep
which would add to Its wealth or aggrandize?
ment. HI? first opportunity came to h'm In
Mexico and he ?elzed upon It at once, and ha?
so successfully carried out hi? plans that he
