TO PREVENT A NEGOTIATED PEACE

For the very reason that under our constitution the
president is not responsible to the popular will, and is
answerable< only to the moral suasion of publ, opinion,
We think that in a time of national crisis like the pres
ent the party in opposition should be in the majority,
either in the house or the senate, in order to exert legal
ly upon the executive that control which can otherwise
be brought to bear only by moral suasion.
The country is against a negotiated peace. 1t is for
z dictated peace. 1t is against having Germany sit at
the peace table. There are indications that the presi-
dent deems it wise that Germany should have a seat at
tho peace table and a share in the negotiations, We
believe that it will not be an unwholesome thing for the
country and for the cause Of Allied liberty if the result
OF the elections in November indicates to the president
that there is a strong body Of public opinion which
wishes to register itself, in the only political way it can
under our system Of government, against any peace
without victory and any association with Germany in a
peace conference or in a league Of nations until Ger
many over a period Of years has clearly demonstrated
a spirit of reparation. reform and democratic liberty
