America Stands By Her Allies If Germany dreamed of winning a "soft" peace by playing the United States against Great Britain and France ; if she hoped to dodge reparations and responsibility by aid and comfort from the Harding Administration; if she believed that the United States had already forgotten the-cause to which it so lately dedicated its sons and its treasure? then, says the American newspaper press, the knell of this dream, this hope, and this belief was sounded when Secretary Hughes informed Berlin that: "This Government stands with the Governments of the Allies in holding Germany responsible for the war, and therefore morally bound to make reparation, so far as may be possible." These unequivocal words, remarks the Boston Transcript (Rep.), notify the world that we are keeping faith with the Allies, and make clear to Germany that she may expect no aid and comfort from us "in her endeavors to escape the penalties of defeat." THE LITERARY DIGEST, in the issue for April 16th, devotes several pages to a resume of editorial opinion in the United States, France, England, and Germany, upon Secretary of State Hughes's note outlining the attitude of the United States Government toward Germany.
