Mr. Robert Lansing. Secretary of State tinder Ear-President Wilson. fell out with his chief and wrote a book. Frorm his Paris note- book. Mr. Lansing quotes a pars- graph us follows:-

"The more I think about the President's declaration as to the right of ‘self-detsrmlnatlon,‘ the more convinced l am of the danger of putting such ideas into the It is bound to he the basis of impossible demands on the Peace Congress and create trouble in many lends.

"What elect will it have on the Irish. the Indians, the Egyptians, and the nationalism among the Boers’! Will it not breed discon- tent, dleordcr and rebellion! Will not the Mohammedan of Syria and Palestine and possibly of Mor- ooco end Tripoli rely on it? How can it be hsrmonisedwith Zionism, to which the President ll practi- cally mmmtlled?

“The phrase is siroply loaded with dynamite. 1t will raise hopes which can never be realised. It will, I fear. cost thousands of lives. In the end It is bound to be dil- craditsd. to be called the dream of an idealist who lulled to realise the dealer until too late to check those who attempt to put the prin- ciple in force.
