much and too bitter experience with
paper treaties, she has taken, implic-
ity, the promises of almost every con-
tinental power of importance, only to
see those promises broken. Now she
is in a position to fortify herself
against the troubles which may arise
in the future. Can France be blamed
for this? She has heard, only too of-
ten, the Song of Love changed to a
Hymn of Hate. Can she be blamed
for seeking self-protection?
And if northern Africa offers
France the desired opportunity to
strengthen herself both internally and
externally, has the world the right to
ask her to refrain from using it?
Norhern Africa logically comes under
the dominion of France as much, if
not more, as under Italy, and France
has possession. Is there any good
reason why France should not take
whatever advantage of it she may de-
sire?-

wish the same for us.
