Freedom, Of the Seas,
What Does 1t Mean?

Upon the freedom of the seas. he
said:
"The next point is the freedom of
navigation upon the seas outside ter
ritorial waters. Here again is sub
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 initial 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
weopon. absolutely necessary for its
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"
In his discussion of the freedom of
the seas the Senator called attention
to the strange development" in con-
nection with the pending naval appro-
prlation bill, the advocacy by Rear AID
mlral Badger of programme calling
Tor navy as large as that of England

no power of enforcing the DEGREES "a
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-
ton, 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 Of
nations, with the powers about which
| have ventured to inquire vested in It,,
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
against Germany to make peace with
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

senator Lodge then took up the great
problem of the future of Russia. saw
ing: '
we cannot shirk the Russian question.
The whole civilized world has been
shaken and torn by the convulsion of
the war, the greatest war in recorded
history. AS one of the greatest and
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-
cable. 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
there and must be sustained and very
probably increased. We have at pres
ent no government in Russia with
which any one can deal intelligentIy
The thing that calls itself govern
ment is no more fit to be dealt with in
negotiation, no more capable of carry
ing out agreed terms, than band of
anthropoid apes

Nations Should Be Free
To Impose Tariffs

Economic barriers" is another sub
ject on which discussion, he said,
should be put aside:
"The third point is about economic
barriers. Different interpretations have
been placed upon this proposition, but
the President, in two notes which were
read to the Senate not lang ago, ex-
planned it to mean, as | understood,
that while each nation was to impose
any import duties which it pleased, the
nations were all to agree that their
to all other nations; that is, that there
should be no discrimination. Per-
sonally l believe that we should have
the right to discriminate against Ger
many if we choose, or against any other
nation. The import duties we impose
are a domestic question, and it should
rest with the people of the United
States to say whether they would dis
criminate or would not discriminate in
those duties, whether they would make
reciprocity treaties with other coun-
tries, or whether they would not make
such treaties"
In the making Of tariffs he said every
nation should have entire freedom.
The fourth point, limitation of arma-
ments he also thought should be put
aside saying:
"The fourth is the point about arma-
ments--in other words, the reduction Of
which, as l have already
said, finds queer expression in the
administrations new naval policy. At
this time reduction of ornaments is a
question which ought to be postponed
because we have neither the facts nor
the knowledge necessary for intelligent
action. 1t may be imperative to deter
mine what sort of an armament Ger
many shall have by sea or land be-
cause Germany has tried to conquer the
world and the world having conquered
Germany has the right to put restric-
tions on her which would prevent her
attempting the conquest a second time
But there is no reason for bringing up
at this moment general question of
this sort which cannot now be in
diligently determined with the world
in the broken and torn condition it
now is in''

by 1926. He said he thought he had
favored building more ships than any
body else, but that he never had con.
templated such programme and did
not think it necessary. He said:
"Now, the war Is over. The German
fleet has passed out of existence. Inc
only naval danger that we were obliged
to consider in the past on the Atlantic
Coast has ceased to be. We need Il
powerful fleet in the Pacific, and ! am
sure that we shall have navy sutii-
ern coast. And vet at this moment we
are suddenly called upon to build a
fleet which shall be the equal of that of
England. l have heard reports that it
was intended to be used in the negotia-
tons to compel England to agree to
disarmament under the menace OF a
great naval competition on our part. l
mention this rumor only to say that it
is unbelievable. | cannot for a moment
think that such an idea should be en-
tertained by any one, but it gives a
suggestion Of tire impression which
this enormous proposal for the naval
a motive as that is too entirely un-
worthy to be entertained by any re-
sponsible public man.
"Another explanation was that Of
fered by Admiral Badger, when he was
advocating this new programme before
the committee of the House, which was
to the effect that we should require it
for police duty i'll connection with the
league of nations. | will not stop to
ask who is to order that navy about
the world for police duty in behalf Of
the league of nations. | will merely
say that it seems to me extraordinary
that we should enter on a scheme for
eternal peace throughout the world by
proposing to build navy which in
seven years is to be the equal of that
of England. How it fits in with the pol
icy of reduction of naval and military
forces or with the high objects of a
league of nations | cannot conceive. 1t
is not necessary, however, to stop
longer at this point.
zone thing is certain, that the ques-
tions of international law involved in
the loose term freedom of the seas
are not in the least essential or neces-
sary in making a peace with Germany

the affairs of the city, the indepen-
dencs of Armenia, the return of those
| PORTIONS of Asia Minor where Greeks
are predominant to Greece, the pro-
lection of Syria and Palestine from,
the Turks, large. powerful and indie
pendent Polish state, the independence
of Russia's Baltic provinces, the return
to Danish Schleswig TO the Danes and
the naturalization Of the Kiel Canal.
These physical guarantees which I
have thus far suggested all have one
object, and that is so to hem Germany
in that she cannot attempt conquest
IN Russia or in the East, and that the
Slavic populations, which she has mer-
cilessly used in her wars. can never
be so used by. her again.
''1n addition to these guarantees,
there must be heavy rndemnities paid
by Germany for the ruin she has
wrought in Belgium and Northern
France and in Italy and for her de-
struction OF vessels, both neutral and
belligerent, through the use of sub
marines. In those indemnities the
United States must have it's proper
and proportional share, not only direct
indemnity for its ships destroyed by
submarines and its people murdered
on the Lusitania and other vessels but
of the vast expenses forced upon us
by Germany.
at will be for the peace conference
to determine what disposition should
be made of the German colonies, but
one thing is essential, and that is that
they should not be returned to the
tyrannical misgovernment of Germany
and that she should be deprived of
those means for extending her COM
merce and building up military out
posts in all parts of the world The
payment of the indemnities will be a
work of time, and it will be necessary
to take and hold ample security for
the extinction of these debts.
ut is the duty of the Allies and the
United States to meet and determine
what terms they will impose upon Ger
many, and then, and not until then,
call IN the representatives of Germany
and impose the terms upon them
When this is done the first great step
will be taken toward the establish
ment of the worlds peace. If we
eliminate Germany from the opportu-
nifty TO make war, the only source
from which great war is likely to
come would be closed for generations"
Imposing terms on Germany is only
half the work, the Senator said. 1t is
necessary to work in harmony with
the Allies, alliance or no alliance, to
avoid serious differences between the
United States and Great Britain, or
with France, or Italy, or Belgium.

have terrified the despotic kings like
Philip the Fair. Louis XI and Louis
XIV, who devoted their lives to the
same object. They put down civil wal
with one hand and threw back and de-
feated banded Europe with the other
Whatever the defects of the gov
eminent of France during the Revolu..
ton may have been, weakness was not
one of them: but Russia within two
years has spun round the whole circle
from despotsm to anarchy, and the
most conspicuous feature is the utter
inefficcncy and feebleness of every one
concerned. They overthrow the autoc-
racy and the Duma established a pro-
visional government, the natural step
to be taken toward ordered liberty.
"The provisional government fell be-
fore Kerensky and his followers, who
lacked every quality necessary to meet
the situation. They had nothing but
words to offer, and they fell in turn
before men who were backed by Ger
man money and whose object was not
to give freedom to Russia, but to de-
stroy their fellow citizens and every
element which was necessary to a
social fabric under which men could
live and prosper while they themselves
profited in money and in power from
the ruin they wrought,
"They have INDUCED in murder and
massacre. They have destroyed prop
erty and all the instruments of indus
try, and the unhappy and ignorant peo-
pie Of Russia, in whose name they un-
dertook to act, are to-day suffering
from famine and disease and are in a
worse condition than they were in the
days of the Romanoffs.
"There is nothing to indicate that
the Russian people have the power
among themselves to cxtricate the
country from this condition. 1t seems
as if they had come full circle and had
reached the point where nothing could
resue them but the strong man at the
head of an army.
"Whatever the solution finally
reached. however, it is perfectly clear
that they will need the help of the
civilized nations who have beaten Ger
many to her knees. 1t would be dis
creditable, indeed. to the United States
if it failed to recognize it's duty to this
great country, a duty to which the
President, so far as he could, has COM
mitted the United States.
"How the problem can be solved no
man at this moment can say. The only
ray of light seems to come from the
people of the Ukraine. and we may be
able to rebuild Russia by aiding the
only people who have shown any capac-
ity for maintaining a government and
preventing the dissolution of the social
fabric.

Germany Must Glue
Physical Guarantees

81 do not need to rehearse what
those physical guarantees should be,
for | have stated my views upon them
more than once to the Senate, and l
think there is general agreement upon
them not only in tho senate but among
the American people. They include
the restoration of Belgium, the return
of Alsace- Lorraine to France, Of the
italian Irredenta to Italy, the estab
lishment Of a Jugo- Slav state and Of
an Independent state formed by the
Czecho- Slovaks. They include also the
security of Greece, the settlement of
Albania and Montenegro, the restora-
ton Of Rumania, the consolidation Of
all the Rumanian people under one
government, as well as the neutraliza-
tion Of the straits, the putting of Con-
stantinople under international pro-
lection, with Greece perhaps as the
mandatory of the powers to administer

German Propaganda
Actiue and Poisonous

"Any serious difference among Eng
disappearing people would be deplor-
able in the highest degree" he said.
ANY thought of war among them would
be as abominable as it is inconceivable.
To differ greatly with France, bound to
US by so many ties of faith and affec-
ton, or with Italy or Belgium, is I'M
thinkable.
do not forget that German propa-
ganda with this object in view is as
active and poisonous to-day as it has
ever been. The people here and in the
Allied countries who were favorable
to Germany are again busy in the eff
fort to part the Allies and the United
States from each other, and their eff
forts find expression in dispatches in
the newspapers and in the thousand
and one forms with which we have been
painfully familiar in the years just
past We must have common action
now in making the peace as we had in
carrying on the war, and this unity
between US and the Allies is the first
4 essential condition for successful
peace.
eve are also confronted with the
great difficulty of finding a govern
ment in Germany capable of making a
peace and fulfilling its international
obligations. This is problem which
must be faced and which will require
the greatest wisdom and caution of
which the united peace delegates Of
the Allies and the United States are
capable. These are the two vital con-
| ditions precedent to successful and
truly victorious peace"
When these conditions are fulfilled
he said, then comes the practical work
of making the peace effective, of carry.
ing out and executing the peace terms
"We can not halt or turn back now,
he continued. eve must do our share
to carry out the peace as we have done
our share to win the war, Of which the
peace is an integral part. We must Dc
our share in the occupation of Ger
man territory which will be held a,
security for the indemnities to be pait
by Germany. We can not escape doint
our part in aiding the peoples to whom
we have helped to give freedom and in
dependence in establishing themselve
with ordered governments, for in n,
other way can we erect the barrier
which are essential to prevent anothe
outbreak by Germany upon the world
We can not leave the Jugo-Slavs, tn
CzechoS lovaks and the Poles, tn
Lithuanians and the other states which
we hope to see formed and marchin,
upon the path of progress and develop
ment, unaided and alone"
