sion the American conception of the
league Of nations has been steadily
shrinking. Yesterday it reached what
may be safely considered its final
status. AS fixed by our modified con-
sent to the treaty it is to be something
considerably less than super govern
ment and considerably more than a de-
batting society. Mr.. Wilson's explana-
tions do not differ in any essential
from those which Mr.. Taft, Mr.. Root
and Mr.. Hughes wish to have incor-
porated as interpretations or amend.
ments.
owe might have promised more with
greater advantage, but it may be frank
ly admitted that this is all that public
opinion in America will now sanction.
"Mr. Wilson's insistence that our
understanding of the covenant should
not be placed in the ratifying resolu-
ton is not in accord with the rest of
his argument. If the proposed inter-
pretations, with which he agrees, ex-
press our opinion of what we have
promised they ought to be part of the
same piece Of legislation with the
treaty itself. We owe it to the rest of
the world to state as solemnly and
bindingly as we can what we will and
will not do.
"rhis is the end of the rainbow. Mr..
Wilson has found no pot Of gold. Yet
the Senate Republicans are the more
bound not to reject the modest treasure
that he did find"

The Centre of Criticism,

Since then the bulk Of the Repub-
lican opposition has centred about
these changes, the question at issue
being whether the alterations were
adequate to meet the criticisms and
whether Article X, unchanged, was
satisfactory.
The Root reservations of June 81
were drawn to meet the practical
contingency before the Senate of
treaty drafted and agreed to by
other nations. He proposed reserva-
tions included in the resolution of
ratification in place of amendments
altering the text or in place of en-
deavoring to separate treaty and
league covenant, as called for in
Senator Knox's resolution. 1t will
New-York tribune., 1919-08-24

cratic press strongly backs the
President. "The Brooklyn Daily
Eagle" does not expect the Repub-
lican leaders to accept the Presi-
dents plan, but it has firm hopes
of the mild" reservationists
1--WE do not expect that the Presi-
dents frankness in dealing with the
Foreign Relations Committe and the
people generally will have any effect
upon the majority of the opposition
leaders beyond tempering, perhaps, the
tone Of their public speech. But it
ought to have very pronounced eff
feet upon those Senator'S who are
known as the mild reservationists.' ,
Obviously 1t was to this group that
the President directly addressed him
self. He cannot have hope Of Lodge
or Borah, Of Johnson, Fall or Reed.
These men represent the irreconcilable
element in the opposition, an element
variously affected by motives of pol
itics or by sheer perversity, pique or
spite. But there are other members
Of the Senate, such as Mr. McCumber,
Of North Dakota; Mr.. Colt, of Rhode
Island and Mr.. McNary, of Oregon, who
have been looking about for some way
to reconcile their desire for quick rati-
fication with their preference for a
clarifying and formal expression Of
opinion on disputed points. The Pres
ident shows them a way to do this
promptly and with effect He makes an
appeal to common sense in the Senate
and the nation"
New-York tribune., 1919-08-24

'NHE origin and growth of the
four reservations, about
which the issue as to the
league of nations has now
centred, are shown in detail in the
table below. 1t will be seen that in
the original draft of the covenant,
which President Wilson brought
home with him last February, the
matters to be covered by the four
reservations were not provided for
at all.
The Monroe Doctrine was neither
mentioned nor otherwise preserved.
Domestic problems, such as i'm
migration and the tariff, were not
exempted.
There was no provision as to
withdrawal.
Article X was phrased practically
as now.
1t will be noted that in his first
speech, delivered in the Senate on
March /, in criticism of the league
Senator Lodge raised all four of
these points.
Mr. Taft's suggestions, cabled to
Paris on March 81, covered the first
three points. He made no sugges-
tion as to Article X.
Senator Roots first amendments,
contained in letter to William H.
Hays and made public on March 80,
sought to answer the criticism def
nitely as to all four points.
The covenant as revised and
finally adopted at Paris showed that
effort had been made to meet the
first three criticisms. No effort was
made to meet the criticism as to Ar

tions, but Not i'm Ratification
Senate Is Unyielding

Americas interests if forty-hve ma
tions objected. I am convinced from
the temper of the Senate to-day that
the treaty will never be ratified with
out reservations and l do not wish to
endanger it. l do not think the Presi-
dent should take such an obstinate
position"
Thus, while the issue has been mar
rowed, so far as the league goes, to
the simple question of where the
reservations shall be placed, the re-
naming issue is sharp and impor-
tant in the eyes of the opposition.
AS The New York Tribune states
the Republican view:
"The President, after six months Of
squirming and maneuvring against the
reasonable and the inevitable, now has
reached point where he is willing to
accept reservations if embodied in sep
arate resolutions by the Senate and not
made part Of the ratifying resolution.
mo prophetic powers are necessary
to predict that this proposal will meet
an emphatic refusal To accept it
would defeat the purpose of reserva-
tlons. Separate resolutions would have
no validity, as the Supreme Court made
clear in the Diamond Rings case, with
respect to the McEnery resolution.
The treaty would be in unmodified
effect and the resolutions would be
nullities.
"If the President, after six months of
delay, would now have an early ratitica-
tion Of the treaty let him desist from
captious opposition. To his Senatorial
callers he admitted that most of the
proposed reservations are compatible
with his understandings of the cove
nant's obligation. Why, then, object
to their inclusion? He will surely not
seriously contend that the other coun-
tries will cavil over interpretations
which will but restate that which, ac-
cording to his readings, is already in
the treaty. 1t has taken long tussle
to induce the President to dismount
from a high horse. But one foot is
now out of its stirrup and the other
will soon be likewise free"
At the Ra;nbo,U's End
That is the typical Republican
view of what has happened in Wash
ington. A number of strong advo-
Gates of the league show a tendency
in the same direction. "The New
York Globe" for example, which has
been severely critical of the Senate
majority, writes thus under the
head cat the Rainbow's End":

The One Remaining Issue as to the Leagu
Story of the Reservations
Their Progress From Lodge, ria Taft and Root to Wison

be seen that he proposed a radical
treatment of Article X, simply re-
fusing the consent Of the United
States as to this clause.
The conversion of Mr.. Taft to
reservations, as matter of practi-
cal compromise, came on July "a.
1t will be seen that he would insert
reservations on the first three points
along the general lines of those pro-
posed by Mr.. Root. His proposal
for Article X differs entirely. In
stead of striking out Article X he
would limit it in two respects, first
by providing for unconditional tea-
mination after ten years, and sec.
ond, by making it clear that the ac-
ton of the council is advisory only
and that it is for Congress to decide
as to peace and war.
The mild" reservationists,
group of Republicans generally IA
vorable to the league principle, fa-
vor programme practically like Mr..
Taft's, differing from Mr.. Roots
only in the treatment of Article X.

In the Body Of the Treaty
MUCH better feeling was
engendered by the historic
l. conference of the Senate

Senator NcNary, of Oregon, an
other Republican league advocate,
expressed his attitude as follows:
~ think it is unreasonable to ask
that these reservations agreed upon
by some of us should be adopted out
side of the treaty. They should be
part Of the body of the treaty. I have
talked with-several of my colleagues
who favored these reservations, and I
an sure that the Pittman resolution
will not be satisfactory to any of them,

Senator Colt, Of Rhode Island,
another Republican moderate, spoke
thus:
Il am inclined to agree with my
colleagues who favor reservations, that
they should be included in the reso-
luton of ratification. think the
President exaggerates the danger Of
our insisting on reservations intended
to protect Americas interests. For

The Presidents Vie,c

The Presidents remarks in the
course Of his conference with tho
Senate committee on August 20 in
dicate that he understands the
league covenant exactly as these
four mild" reservationists would
interpret it. He, however, strongly
opposed inserting these reservations
in the treaty itself. lie would have
them adopted in a separate resolu-
ton. Therefore, the only question
remaining at issue between the Sem
ate and the President is whether the
reservations shall be made an in
tegral part of the treaty or shall
simply be placed in cotempora-
neous resolution.
Senator Pittman tDemD INTRO
duced in the Senate a resolution Of
the character approved by the Adj
ministration. 1t closely follows the
substance of the Republican rcser-
vations, but is in the form Of q res
olution in advance Of. and wholly
separate from, the resolution Of
ratification.
1t should be added that the Shan
tung decision relates, of course, to
the treaty proper and not 10 the
league covenant. 1t could not be-
altered by a reservation Of any de-
scription and would necessitate an
out-and-out amendment of the text
of the treaty.

4 MUCH better feeling was
IA engendered by the historic
4 - conference of the Senate
Committee on Foreign
Affairs with the President last Mon
day. Also, some real light was shed.
II was made plain that the President
interprets the league covenant ex-
actly as do the bulk of the Repub-
lican majority and that he has no
objection to reservations, provided
they are contained in a separate
resolution and do not amend the
treaty Of peace.
As fz- a. reaching a practical
basis fol co.npromise, however, the
conference had no immediate results
whatever. To the contrary, it seemed
rather to strengthen the opposition
in their decision to place their inter-
pretations in the resolution of ratif-
cation itself. Senator McCumber, of
North Dakota, for example, one of
the strongest Republican advocates
Of the league and a sponsor of the
mild" reservations, announced after
the conference that he would vote
for reservations in the resolution of
ratification itself.
