7EATY ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
HYPOCRISY BY u. S.
GIVES A HAGUE COURT hint
Former President In Editorial says
Ratification Of Arbitration Pacts
Would Expose Nation to Ridicule
Of Other Nations.

New fork.--In an editorial in the
current issue of the Outlook, with the
caption of The russian Treaty, Arbi.
tration and Hypocrisy, Theodore
Roosevelt has this to say:
Il cordially approve the action ta-
ken by congress in abrogating the
Russian treaty, because men must vote
and act on the situation as it actually
confronts them; and in the actual
event congressman had only two al
ternatives, namely, to abrogate the
treaty or to submit to the continuance
OF conditions which have become in
tolerable to our national self-respect
and which represent continuing
wrong, especially to American citi.
zens of Jewish faith.
Il still believe that In so serious a
matter 1t would have been we'll first
to endeavor to secure a decision by
The Hague court on the Interpretation
q the existing treaty. am confident
that such a decision would, of neces-
sity, have been in our favor; and. IL
SO, 1t would have enabled Russia to
retire from an untenable position with
good grace and no loss of self re-
spect-an object that should always
De held in view in dealing with any
foreign nation with which at any time
we have difficulties.
But this action was taken while
the universal arbitration treaties are
pending in the senate. These trea-
ties are ayoWedly championed as be-
ing OF the kind we are to enter into
with all nations, and as supplanting
the existing arbitration treaties which
we have with almost all nations, in
GLIDING Russia as well as England and
France. These treaties, If ratified by
the senate unamended, will explicitly
promise. will explicitly pledge the
honor and good faith OF the American
nation to arbitrate precisely such
questions as that which at this very
moment we announce that we will not
endeavor TO arbitrate in the case of
Russia Under these circumstances
to ratify the general arbitration trea-
ties would put the American people
in an attitude of peculiarly contempt
BILE hypocrisy and would rightly ex-
pose US to the derision of all thinking
mankind. for we should put ourselves
in the position of making sweeping
and insincere promises impossible OF
performance at the very time when BY
our own actions we showed that we
would certainly not keep such prom
ises. nor translate them into action
