OPPOSITION TO

Republicans Warned Not to
Take Too Rigid Stand
Lest They Endanger
Their Party.
TAFT rs FOR COVENANT
Danger in Making Party Issue OF
scheme Which Will Be Part
and Parcel Of Peace
Treaty.

WASHINGTON, March 11.-Repub-
lican supporters Of the league OF
nations, headed by former President
VIM. H. Taft, are. warning G. 0. f.
of the Wilson covenant
against a too rigid stand, lest they
endanger the party.
1t is now generally admitted thai
when the peace treaty comes back
from France, the league of nations
will be part and parcel of 1t. The
whole work of drafting the treaty in
Paris has been built ON the promise
of league of nations and practi
cally every article in some way Is
applicable under league rules.
Hence if the treaty. when COM
pleted, failed of ratification in
Pr 3lican senate because the league
of nations was part of 1t, the whole
work of drafting the treaty would
have to be done over again-and In
the meantime the treaty would re-
main ineffective and a state of war
would continue as now.
The party responsible for holding
sap,sfati iiicatior rof the treaty would
undoubtedly be charged thereafter by
the opposing party with having pro-
Icnsed the war.
It may be that President Wilson
had this situation in mind when he
stated in New York that the league
should not be party issue and that
mo party in the end would dare to
oppose it."
At any rate, Taft, seeing the dan
ger in too inelastic stand by G.. O.
P. opponents of the league, has
warned them against making the
issue party one.
Taft's move and the difference of
opinion existing In both parties have
created the belief here that there is
possibility in 1920 if the peace
treaty is not ratified, of the elector-
ate splitting up into new align.
ment-those for and those opposed
to ratification of the league. The
fight would then be with the issue
of moderate internationalism as op.
posed to strict nationalism.
In this connection there are now
strong organizations backing both
the elements favoring and opposing
the league, each organizat ton deter
mined to carry the fight to the finish
Owing to the fact, however, that
the leading republicans opposing the
Wilson covenant. favor some league
the hope is expressed by friends in
both the republican and democratic
parties that the president Will recon
mend Qualification of questioned
articles so as to remove much of the
opposition and assure the leagues
ratification.
