The real Isiurs in this election and Mr. Wlls-on's? peace program, his four- L teen points, his attitude In demandlne justice towTIrd Oeim.my as agordlng the best security for the'tuturc, his fnlluie to make a combination wiyi the Allies and enforce u pro-Entente peace in the cumin1' conference. This issue has sprung up so suddenly as a I lesult of the mowing evidence that Qermany Is about to hurrender that the Democrats, have not been prepared to meet It. A gi eater failure could not have been made than the fallutc to present Mr. Wilson's side of the peace issue effectively to the public, but the fail ure Is complete. The Republican criticisms' have gone home. They have drawn out two explanations within a week of tho meaning of Mr. Wilson's tourleen points, one official and one unofficial, one on the tariff question and tho other- on Ali-ace-Lonalne, If these two points reTillie explaining is there not truth in tho Republican .contention' that the whole fouiteen need eplutnlng and If all need explaining, what becomes of the universal world-wide uppio'val of the fourteen points? No Reason for Conference Appaiently the Democrats were re gal ding the acceptance of Mr Wil son's peace pioglam with the utmost seriousness and the Republican erltj cism, took them by bui prise. They weie nor icady to Imve a foielgn policy made a national lsue. There was no, one In a position to speak promptly In defense! of Mr. Wil son or to present intelligently his case to the public, as a statesman who was aiming to organize the world for the future, so as to make democracy secure and freo from the constant threat of war. A considerable response might easily have been .counted on from the country had Wilson chosen to' take It into his confidence. ISven his Isolation from the Allies might have been made vo appear a splendid Jsolation, If some one who knew how hud spoken. - 'Policy Uased on' Poner If the House goes Republican what will be tho effect upon Mr. Wilson's position in the peace conference? He himself has baid such a vote will be Vlrtuully a repudiation of him. It certainly will weaken him. His whole policy with regard to the peace con ference Is. based upon his entering It with gieaf popular support, rather than with the suppoit of the states men. , This popular support must he based primarily upon popular support at home, He must )1ae his own nation ,ylth him, in older that no douiil of ills leadership Contlnuttl on fuse Tun.
