M. _ - V SECRET TREATIES CHAPTER 2 w Immediately following Pl-ccidont Wllson's speech asking for a war de- claration, the British Govemment considered the advisability of send- ing to the United States a special mission. the obvious purpose of which should be to put at the disposal of our Government the experience gain- ed by Great Britain in nearly three years of war and which might also bring the British into closer touch with thesltuation in America. The importance of the mission was indi- cated by the choice of Mr. Balfour, Secretary of Foreign Affairs, at its chief. Within a week the Balfour Mission was on the Atlantic, and on April 21 they landed at Halifax, whence they came by train through New York to Washington. A few days later ar- rived the French Mission led by Vi- viani and Joffre, ot be followed shortly by the Italians and Belglans. Whatever the outcome of the con- ferences that followed, the despatch of these missions was of itself signif- icant, a. gesture symbolic of cooper- atlve effort by which alone Germany could be defeated. _We had taken up arms against Germany, according to Wilson's speech of April 2, both because Ger- many had already made war upon us through the submarine and because of our desire to achieve a lasting and just settlement. We were tactily pledged to the defeat of Germany. If we did not come to agreement with the Allies as to the sort of peace to be imposed upon her, there was danger that we might be fighting for Allied war aims, perhaps as crystal- lized in the secret treaties. On the other hand lf, after learning the terms of the secret treaties, we re- fused our approval, what then? We could hardly state that we would not continue to fight Germany, since we had our own quarrel with her. It would be futile to announce that be- cause of our disapproval of the pur- poses of the Allies we would make war by ourselves. If we stated that we would fight with the Allies but reserved the right later to dispute the application of the secret treaties, the only effect would be to cause ir- ritation and to injure the chances of effective co-operative action against the enemy. In view of the later controversy regarding American , knowledge of the secret treaties, Colonel I-Iouse's record of the following conversation ical importance. 'April 28. 1917. My most import- ant conference today was with Mr. Balfour...No one else was present and we talked for an hour and a half without interruption. . ‘We came to no conclusion as to Trieste. I did not consider it bsst or desirable to shut Austria from e Adriatic. Balfour argued that Italy claimed she should have protection for her east coast by having Dalma- tia. She has no seaport from Ven- ice to Brindisl, and she claims she must have the coast opposite in er- der to protect herself! 'I'he mention of the aspirations of italy gave to House the opening for vhlch he hail been waiting and per- mitting him to "put tne pertinent question as to the secret obligations which the Allies had assumed to- wards each other for the fulfillment of treir war alms. Wilson and House Knew of Secret Treaties 'This led me to ask,' House contin- ued, 'whot treaties were out between the Allies as to the division of spoils after the war. He said they had treaties with oi-ie another, and that when Italy come in they mode one with har ln which they had promised pretty much what sho demanded. 'Blii°\-il' lD°ke with relret at the spectacle of great nations sitting down and dividing the spoils of war 01'. as he termed it, "dividing up the belrsklri before the bear was killed.' I asked him if he did not think it proper for the Allies to give ¢°Ples of these treaties to the Presid- ent for his confidential information. H0 ihvlllht such a request entirely rellonablo and said he would have copies, made for that purpose. He was not osrtain they had brought thorn over, but if not, he would send for them. ` 'It is lil bod md I wld Balfour so. °‘°"‘ii0i’ “dum B" °bj°°° ma y “ ‘i""°’“’ "0"" °' ”°'°°° 0°' "°'"'- blue nowm mms bm more than Pina their cole voice in that victor- 111°!

'We took our coffee in the oval sitting room and when it was fln- ished we went to the Presldent‘s study and began a. conference, the importance of which' cannot be over- estimated. The President contin- ued to do most of the talking. It was evident to me that he was keyed up for this conference, as he had been resting most of the afternoon, not taking his usual excl-olse.... 'The ground we covered was exact- ly the same as Balfour and I had covered in our conference Saturday. I tried to steer the conversation so as to embrace what Balfour had said to me and what the President and I had agreed upon in former confer- enoes. ‘When we touched upon the inter- nationalization of Constantinople I suggested that it might lead to trouble. It was with some difficulty that I made them understand that I ¢i1°l'0118hly azreed with the general idea, but desired to point out that it would inevitably lead to an attempt to lnternationalize the Straits between Sweden and Norway and Continental Europe ,and the Suez and Panama Canals. They did not agree with me that the two questions had much in common. - The dicussion ran from sllortly be- fore eight o‘clock until half past ten, when the President was due at' a re- ception given by the Secretary of State to the members of Congress to the intimate conference between, what The Intimate Papers 0 '°“ H £0” ' C' I I H use- Louoou, January ao, :slew Dehnay’s P . \ 0 one O My dear Mr. President, Ut The Friend And Adviser Of President Wil- I rather from s meslase -sent by Vlta1ene` son ` Recounts In His Diary The Great Wi“"’“°“ °““’°“ "'°“1‘"“‘°°°"“°" Quilt; Events Of The War In Which His mum under the mm of London F _ Country Was Concerned. . concluded ,,, ,gm ,g rench Half already pretty well paid, but as in l°"“ (Copyright) That treaty (arranged of course “ies” 0°” iii” ‘°d°“i "°‘“‘“'Y is MIND cuai-:s long heroic I was at the Foreign oi- “' _ Tonic V Y' ' .

April my thoughts on thrltalian territorial proof of the anxiety of the Allies to get Italy into the war, and of the use to which that anxiety was put by the Italian negotiators. But a treaty is a. treaty; and we-I mean England and France (of Russia I say nothing)--are bound to uphold it in letter and in spirit. The objections to it indeed are obvious enough: It assigns to Italy territories on the Adriatic which are not Italian but Slav; and- the ar- rangementls justified not on grounds "f" of nationality but on ground of strategy.

I asked Balfour again about the Allies' treaties with each other and the desirability of his giving copier to the President. He again agreed to do so. ‘When the conference broke up I walked downstairs with Mr. Balfour and lskod\ if he felt that his mind and that of the President had touched at all points. He was quite enthusias. tio and said he had never had a more interesting interview. He spoke of the President as having a wonderful cpm- blnation of human philosophy and political sogncity. ‘The President and Mr. Balfour went to the reception together and 1 went to my room to prepare for the train. Before I left, the President had returned and we had a few minutes further conversation.
