things do arise, the consequences
may be minimized to where war may
be avoided"
To President Wilson Lewis quoted
the command to Moses to beware Of
treaties with the inhabitants of the
lands whittier thou goest, lest it be
for snare in the midst Of thee"
Detailing his fears concerning the
league Lewis said:
my fear is not that the league
will fail; it is founded on it's sue
cess. When the league has succeed
ed, and any dispute or demand touch
ing my country has bene decided in
my favor, and / enjoin its results, a
claim from other countries for reci-
procity might exact so much that if
yielded to it would weaken the link
with the future or cause us to be
charged with bad faith.
in Asia, Japan, taking China in
her guardianship, will solicit Great
Britain and France to demand of us
as a faithful ally abolition of the
policy of exclusion of Asiatics from
our citizenship; if they decline they
become the victims of Japan's neu-
trail trade discrimination. If they
prevail on us, promptly they will
exact Of Japan to demand that we
take down the bars of obstruction to
Europe in South America-the Mon
roe doctrine"
Declaring that Eve must insist now
on unrestricted freedom of the seas,
Lewis defined the term thus:
"An open sea; free ports; free har-
bors: to us to the same extent that
any nation extends this freedom to
it's own people and as extended by
the United States to other nations"
This means that England shall give
the United States free use of the
Suez canal and France shall give us
rights in the Mediterranean in ex-
change for our concessions to them
with respect to the Panama canal
and Manila harbor, Lewis said.
Lewis said the success of the
league depends upon public sentiment
and not on an international army and
navy.
ut was not our armies and navies
that won the war against Germany"
he said. 1T was the public opinion
of the world. If the league is not
sustained by public opinion because
of the rightfulness of its DEGREES
they can never be enforced"
