"The next point is the freedom of

ject which is not defined The seas are
free to navigation in time of peace.
Therefore this proposition can apply
only to time of war, and What it is
proposed to do in regard to freedom
of navigation in time of war we have
yet to learn. If it means that the bel
hgerent right of blockade, by which in
large measure the Unitll States was
able to win the Civil War. l think the
United States, as the greatest maritime
nation IN the world next to England,
Will hesitate. before it abandons a

own safety and with regard to troubles
which may arise within the regions
covered by the Monroe Doctrine. |
cannot imagine that England would for
moment think Of abandoning the bel
ligerent right of blockade, but l have
no desire to enter upon the discussion
of subject which is wholly in the
clouds. We cannot talk intelligently
about any proposition until we know
gust what it means, and that has not
yet been disclosed to an interested
world"

no power of enforcing the DEGREES oi
the international court or the interna-
tional legislature or the international
executive, or whatever may be estab-
lished.
"This is the heart Of the whole ques-
tion, but there are others which would
necessarily have to be considered Are
we ready to abandon the Monroe Doc
trne and to leave it to other nations
to say how American questions shall be
settled and what steps we shall be per
mitted TO take in order to guard our
own safety or to protect the Panama
Canal? Are we ready to have other
nations tell us by majority vote what
attitude we must assume in regard to
immigration or in regard to our tar
ifs? These are lesser points, but they
must be met and answered.
"The attempt to form now league
of nations-and / mean an effective
league, with power to enforce its de-
crees--no other is worth discussing
can tend at this moment only to en-
barrass the peace that we ought to
make at once with Germany. If the
attempt was successful and league oi

we're to come here before the Senate, it
might endanger the peace treaty and
force amendments. 1t certainly would
lead to very long delays. Is not the
first duty Of all the countries united

Germany? Is that not the way to bring
peace to the world now? Ought we not
to avoid, as far as possible, all delays?

Cannot, Must Not, Shirk
The Russian Problem

problem of the future of Russia. saw

we cannot shirk the Russian question.

most powerful of the civilized nations.
II we are to have lasting peace now
we can not avoid the problems which
the war has beQueathed to us. Of
these problems that of Russia is prob
ably the most difficult.
The evacuation of Russia by the
German troops, although postponed, is
required under the armistce, but the
president went much further than that
IN the statement | have just read he
IN effect pledged the United States to
aid Russia in rising from the chaos
and disorder which had come upon her
to the place which she ought to occupy
IN the family of nations. The restora-
ton of Russia is essential not only to
the peace but to the economic life of
the world, in which we have so large d
share, and the difficulties presented bv
Russia are III the last degree formi-
oable. we have troops now in the north
ern part OF Western Russia, and other
troops in Vladivostok. Unfortunately
they are so few in number that it IS
greatly to be feared that they are
wholly inadequate for the work thew
may have to do. Nevertheless, thew are

probably increased. We have at pres
