An English Analysis of Wilson
Mr. Keynes's Prologue to His Economic Dis?
cussion Enlivens His Book
By William L. McPheraon
MR. KEYNES In hi? "The Eco?
nomic Consequences of the
Peace" (Harcourt, Rraco A
Howe) has solved the prob?
lem of. making an economic study a
"best Beller." That in in Itself a stroke
of genius. His method shows that the
imagination of a literary artist may
vitalizo ?ven a typical product of what
Carlyle not inaptly called "the dismal
science."
Mr. Keynes is the editor of "Tho
Economic Journal," of London, and was
the representative of the British Treas?
ury at the peace conference. He was
engaged in drafting the repatriations
-?ection of the treaty, and threw up
his appointment in disgust at what he
held to be the economic severity and
tho political insincerity of the terms
Imposed or. Germany. He thereupon
determined to set forth to the world
his very pronounced view of the ruin?
ous economic consequences of the
peace.
The Wilson Prologue
Bur how could such a view be
brought home to the publics which it
was especially intended to interest and
convince?those of Great Britain and
the United States? Mr. Keynes ?ays
that the British peoplo never read the
treaty. Neither did the American peo?
ple. They couldn't be brought to con?
sider its Immensely complicated and
economically puzzling details. They
probably will give little attention now
10 those details, or to Mr. Keynes's
? riticism of them. But a great many
people on both sides of the Atlantic
will want to read the Keynes book, not
for lta exposition of the unenforce
ability of tho reparations provisions
; of the treaty, but for Its singularly
! trenchant estimate In the way of a ?
; prologue of President Wilson's
'achievements as the supposed guiding ?
| spirit of the peace conference.
This chapter is a tour de force. It
has virility, sparkle and sardonio humor. ?
1 Whether one agrees with its author's
conclusions or not. he. cannot escape |
the feeling: that here is a portrait
drawn with intellectual gusto, with im- !
aginative vigor and with a certain I
| biting, Hogarthian effect. It is a criti
S cal contribution to the understanding!
! of a great historical episode which the j
future cannot ignore.
Mr. Keynes writes of the President in
a spirit of disillusionment. But he
seems to have sensed the chief intel?
lectual deficiencies which led to Mr.
Wilson's tragic failure at Paris. The
author's dissection of the President's
character as our chief plenipotentiary ;
already has been widely reproduced in
this country. It presents the head of
the American delegation as a man of '
high vision, but. lacking capacity to i
master the concrete details of the in
tr?cate peace settlement. Say? Mr. j
Keynes:
Ideas Incomplete
"The President was like a Non- I
conformist minister, perhaps a Pr?s- j
byterian. His thought and his tern- I
per&ment. were essentially theologi
cal, not intellectual, with all the |
strength and the weaknerv of that

?ZANE GREY
American novelist?has had as his constant Ideal the de?
sire to give the world its best interpretation of the life of
the old West. He wanted to paint it all with an artistry
that would do justice to the understanding that his years
of life and study had brought, and give not the surface
alone, but the spiritual values that lay underneath.
Several million American readers have recognized Zane
Grey's splendid achievement, and now critical America is
awakening to the fact that here is an authentic voice in
American literature. Zane Grey will go down as the
novelist who has with true Homeric bigness written the
glorious epic of the great West.

is enough. If you have not discovered Zane Grey, do so
in the pages of this romantic novel of a hidden Paradise

the shadow of its circling mountains and the deeper
shadow of. danger that lurked behind them. Adventure,

manner of thought, feeling and) ex?
pression. ... In practice his
ideas were nebulous and incomplete.
He had no plan, no scheme, no con?
structive ideas whatever for clothing
with the flesh of life the command?
ments which he had thundered from
the White House. He could have
preached a sermon on any of them
i or have addressed h stately prayer to
; the Almighty for their fulfillment;
but he could not frame their concrol e
application to the actual state of
Europe."
Mr. Keynes, who sat with th? Coun?
cil of Four occasionally, contrasts the
President's rigidity and inelasticity of
mind with the medium-like sensitive?
ness and mental agility of Lloyd
George, a master of opportunist poli?
tics, and the blas? and cynical clarity
of Clemenceau. For these two Mr. Wil?
son was no match in tho arts of inti?
mate and secret diplomacy. He went to
Paris to impose a peace of justice, or
conciliation, based' on his fourteen
points. He came away, Mr. Keynes
holds, with a peace which denied the
fourteen points in letter and spirit.
Keynes's point, of view is that of an
economists-pacifist. He is an interna?
tionalist, an anti-nationalist. He want?
ed to see a peace made whicn would
restore, as far as possible, Europe's
pre-war economic status. He , had a
tender spot in his heart for Germany,
as the key factor in the old European
economic situation. He seems also to
be. something of a parlor Socialist, akin
in his political ideas to Dr. Wilhelm
M?hion.
Calls It Ruthiess
These predilections, which naturally
iound little sympathy at Paria, must
be taken into account in judging the
?ase he makes against the peace. He
maintains that it is a Carthaginian
peace, ruthless toward the conquered
and dishonoring the victors. He also
holds that the treaty violated the as?
surances given to Germany in the ne?
gotiations which preceded the armi?
stice.
But this contention rests on the as?
sumption that the Deace forecast by
the fourteen points and President
Wilson's utterances was to be u peaco
of reconciliation and renunciation. It
was to be a peace of justice. But jus?
tice implies punishment of the guilty.
It may be argued, plausibly enough,
that the treaty did not. conform to the
preconceptions of President Wilson.
But those preconceptions were person?
al. They were not shared h,y the Amer?
ican people any more than they were
shared by our European allies. The
economist-pacifist interpretation of the
fourteen points had to yield at Paris
to the demand that Germany should
be made to atone for her sins by an
adequate penalty.
Indemnity Demanded
The greater part of the book is de?
voted to a demonstration that the in?
demnity assessed against Germany is
exorbitant and cannot be recovered in
goods, labor and money. This is not a
new thesis or a new discovery. In a
speech in the Senate on August 29,1919,
Mr. Knox set forth the substance of
Mr. Keynes's argument. Ho said, "The
treaty, as it stands, cannot be en?
forced," tho chief reason being that
the financial indemnities couldn't be
collected. It is, in fact, a simple mat?
ter to show that the reparations
clauses of the treaty, vrritten to meet

\ *' the new manager of the Teatro Espa?ol. He is the author
of ''Plays by Benavente?Second Series," translated by
John Garrett Underh?l and published by Charles Scrib?
bler's Sons
Lloyd George's election promises, are
! unlikely ever to be satisfied: by pay
! ments of the. character provided for
by them. Mr. Keynes says the minimum
!is 510.000,000,000 and that Germany
can't pay more than $10,000,000,T)00.
What is the alternative? Mr. Keynes
favors reducing the indemnity to $10,
000,000,000 and giving Germany a free
1 hand as to the manner of raising and
; paying that sum. But there is another
i alternative indicated in the treatv it
j self. If Germany cannot pay in cash
or commodities, she can pay France, at
; least, in territory. France's most
I
! pressing indemnity asset is and always
has been the left bank of the Rhine.
That bank is to remain in possession
i of the Allies?that is, the French?in
?case Germany defaults on the money
: or commodities reparations.
As remedies Mr. Keynes suggests a
revision of the. treaty, so as to release
: (?ermany from most of her present in?
demnity obligations, and, as a counter
? poise, the cancellation of the debts of
?? Franco and Italy to Great Britain and
the United States and the cancellation
of (?reat Britain's debt, to us. The
; first remedy is iinp-racticable, the
author says, unless the present gov
' crnments of Europe aro overthrown?

Won't Be Popular
Tho second remedy will excit?? little
i enthusiasm in tho United States. Mr.
| Keynes doesn't clearly suggest, as
; others have done, that as a compensa
! tion for a remission of the European
? debts the United States should be al
? lowed to rewrite the peace conditions,
I
so as to bring them more into con?
formity with Mr. Wilson's original
peace plan. But this is about the
i last thing which would appeal to the
i United States. It will probably help
j Europe in a pinch. It muy remit in
j terest on the European debt* or even
scale down the obligations of some
'countries. But it would never think
! of doing so with the intention of re?
modeling Europe to its own desire.
I The bitter lesson of the Paris experi
? ment will -hardly be forgotten within a
generation. What. Mr. Keynes ignores
j also is that the European Allies have
; all received or expect to receive very
largo territorial and political compen?
sations. The United States has ac?
quired no territory. Why shouldn't
the territorial acquisitions be stricken
off the balance sheet, if there is to be a
true international economic account?

Romance of Alaska
"Single Track," the Tale of
a Mining Camp
Rather avoiding trie obvious tint ol
tho average war story, Mr. Grant, in "A
Single Track," published by W. S, Watt
& to.. New York, lias written a pleasant
tale about a girl and a mine in the heart
of Alaska. The story has excitement
and a well completed plot. More thar
anything else, perhaps, it is tho story ot
the gradual developments of the glrl's
character and self-reliance.
The heroine, Janetta Gildersleeve, the
typical spoiled wealthy girl, finds that
her family fortunes are exposed to im?
minent danger. She resolutely fncea the
hardships of a mining camp and sur?
prises her friends by her ability to turn
the tide of ruin on her brother's ene
: mies. There is a delightful air of com
i fort throughout the entire book, and yet
one is never sure that matters will ac?
tually end well.
Mr. Grant evidently believes in the
efficacy of coincidence, for the right per?
son happens along at just..the right
moment. At times we are skeptical, but
; we read and enjoy the story even with
| this trusting air. It is well worth your
while to read "A Single Track," for it
is essentially an entertaining story.

"Rich Color and Violent

IN THE preface to "Their Son" and
"The Necklace" I published by Boni
& Liveright, New York) (?erorgo
. Allan .England gives Eduardo Zamacois
I the very extravagant title of a "Spanish
' Guy de Maupassant." The author's
handling of the short story does in cer?
tain ways suggest the methods of de
Maupassant, but the masterly construc?
tion and fine irony that distinguish the
work of the Frenchman are lacking in
these two tales.
The stories are stimulating, at the
outset. Mr. Zamacois starts, in each
case, with a vivid description of a
character with great dramatic possi
; bilities. In Amedo Zuredo, the central
j character of "Their Son," he creates a
| man of the courage and force that pro
! duce both great sacrifices and great
| crimes. At the beginning of "The Neck?
lace" there is a skillful characteriza
! tion of a green-eyed courtesan, which
! sends us racing through the story on
? rho scent, of a particularly stirring
I tragedy. The atmosphere of these
[ stories is highly colored - ;ihnost flam?
boyant. Even if the background were
, less vivid the catastrophes. which
j occur regularly from time to time, are
enough to keep a waning interest alive.
j However, in most instances, the real
| ism of the characters peters out, the
development of the plot becomes rather
i forced and the reader is not surprised
to come upon an anticlimax at the end
of each story.
In "Their Son," Raphaela is the one
i character who remains realistic
I throughout. Under the tinsel of phy
? sical charm and a vivacious Latin tem
| perament, she hides a drab soul. Her
! every act and utterance testify to
such mediocrity that it is hard to
1 sympathize with her. The contrast be
' tween this woman and her husband is
an interesting one. She yields to crime
; because she is weak and shallow.
| Amedeo, on the other hand, commits
j crimes because, according to his stand
lards, the one manly method of punish
' ing a wrongdoer is to try to kill him.
| He is a victim of righteous indignation
: and Spanish ethics.
The style of ''The Necklace" is both
simple and bold. There is an abun?
dance of keen analysis and good de?
scriptions; but the story i? rather
forced and too highly spiced to ring
true. The suspense, unnecessarily pro?
longed,-Instead of heightening the in?
terest, becomes monotonous. The ehar
' acters do not develop or deteriorate
i naturally, but without fair warning
! suddenly leap the bonus of normal
?psychology. Particularly exaggerated
! is the lovesick student. His love soon
1 degenerates into a psychosis tinged
with a sickly heroism; and from that
i time on he ceases to arouse any sym
| pathetic emotion. The only thing which
[ could give substance to "The Necklace"
| is a keen analysis of the psychology of
the melancholy young man. This Mr.
Zamacois does not offer us. At the
end lie tries to save the story by an
I extremely dismal attempt at irony.

Raymond Robins and the Soviets
Head of Red Cross Mission Gives a Vivid Picture
of Affairs in Russia m
j ?/"!"> AYMOND ROBINS'S OWN ]
4k 1^ STORY," as told in short,
? ^^_ incisive sentences by Will?
iam Hard 'Harper's) pre?
sents a remarkably vivid picture of the
iv/eep of the Russian revolution as
seen by the head of the American Red
Cross mission in Russia. Robins has
i been accused of sympathy with Bol?
shevism, and it is true that his state?
ments have furnished considerable ma
1 terial for Bolshevik apologists in this
country. But the charge, as applied to
? he man's personal views, is altogether
false and unfounded. Hard tells of
one occasion when Robins st-nyed up
until 2 o'clock in the morning pour?
ing out floods of argument to prevent
him from joining the Socialist party.
As i believer in religion and individ?
ualism, Robins was altogether opposed
to the materialism and collectivism of
Lcnine and Trotzky.
Denounced Bolshevism
Robins's attitude toward the Bol?
shevik government was quite simple.
He fought against its establishment
with all his power. He made speech
ufter spoeeh denouncing Bolshevism
before sullen, simetimes hostile, audi?
ences of war-weary soldiers. He dis?
tributed large quantities of pro-war
propaganda. But, in spite of all his
i iforts, he saw Bolshevism grow
stronger and stronger, until the feeble
; Kerensky government collapsed like a
! house of cards and L?nine and Trotzky
! installed themselves as new rulers of
' Russia. From this moment the Soviet
; government, was a fact, an unpleasant
disagreeable fact, but still a fact. Not
! being a professional diplomat, Robins
.did not feel that much was to he
gained by solemnly treating the Bol
, sheviki as if they were non-existent.
! Active hostility to them was impossi
I ble, as no effective nucleus of resist
| anee existed ajnong the Russian people
r.nd no Allied troops were available for
intervention. Under these circum?
stances Colonel Robins dealt with the
Soviet government exactly as he would
hove dealt with the Czai's government,
or with any other government, how?
ever objectionable, that might be oi
use in the struggle against Germany.
Probably the most significant reve?
lation in Robins's story is Lenine's of?
fer, presented to him in writing, to op?
pose the conclusion of the Brest
I.itovsk peace if America and the Al?
lied governments would agree to give
Russia effective military and economic
support. Whether or not this offei
; was sincere cannot be definitely de
1 cided. as it was ignored by the Wash
j ington State Department. Robins be
; lieved it was sincer?, and in this vievi
he was confirmed even by such a pro
nounced anti-Bolshevist as Mr. Harolc
Williams.
There was an utter absence of hypoc
j risy in the relations between Robini
land the Bolshevik leaders. Robin
i wanted to win the war. The Bo'.she
I viki wanted to create a world-wide revo
I lufion. Robins looked upon Bolshevisn
as an impractical, pernicious and de
structive theory. The Bolsheviki wer
impartial in their hostility to ai
"capitalist" nations. Utterly sunderei
in their ultimate ideals, Robins an.
the Bolsheviki had a common irnme
diate aim: the defeat of Germa
militarism, which constituted the moa
immediate threat to the Russian prole
tarian revolution. According to Robins'
own testimony, he was never "d'ouble
crossed." His trains ran through o
scheduled time; his Red Cross supplie
? were promptly and honestly distributee
Vivid Sketches
Through Mr. Hard's medium Robin
j gives vivid, clearcut sketches of Trotzk
and L?nine. Trotzky impressed Robin
? as a marvellous orator, capable o
! moving an audience to Its depths. Hi
; eloquence at times blinded him t
reality: at Brest-Litovsk he seriousl
i thought that he could check the Gei
| man armies with an onslaught of revc
j lutionary rhetoric. L?nine was a ma
j of very different type, slight and ur
j impressive in figure, dry and me
! chanical in speech, yet possessed c
immense power over his associate
through his cold, relentless logic. H
?never cherished any illusions about th
possibility of a German revolution ?
a result of the Brest-Litovsk negotit
I tions. He was bitterly attacked by son:
' of his colleagues for his refusal 1
: believe in th? practicability of a star
against the invading Germans. At.
Soviet meeting Radek, a Bolahevi
journalist, said to him:
"If there were 500 courageous me
in Petrograd we would put you i
, prison."
To which L?nine, in an eminent
characteristic spirit of calm, auste:
' irony, replied:
"Some people, indeed, may go
prison; but if you will calculate tl
probabilities you will see that it
much more likely that I will send y<
'. than you me."
Whether or not Colonel Robins
right in his opinions about Bolshevis
and the best means of combating
his work possesses tremendous val?
and significance. It Is one of the fe
: really big books that have so far bei
?written about the Russian Revolutio
! It Is full of pulsating life and rii
| color and fascinating anecdotes; ai
,at the same time the author Is perha
?as impartial In his viewpoint as a ft

"Open Gates to Russia," by Malcol
W. Davis (Harper's) is a descript?
of Russia and the Russian people, wr

convinced that Russia and America a

only requires peace and normal corrc?
