nal affairs and therefore commit
ting IAN unfriendly act" within the
meaning of International law.
There might be criticism in Eng
land of Americas expressions but
under article 1 of the league such
expressions by the United States
would be made "the friendly right"
of any member of the league. So
the president himself thinks that
the cause of Ireland will be for
warded rather than retarded by the
creation of a league of nations.
Draws Distinction.
The president came to the eli
max of his argument when he drew
a distinction between clarifying
reservations and destructive reser-
walton or amendments. He does
not see the necessity for clarifying
reservations or interpretations say
ing how America understands ce=-
tain articles to read or apply, but
he would not object to their inser-
ton in the ratifying resolution. To
all amendments or reservations
which would alter the meaning Of
the contract he is opposed on the
ground that new negotiations with
Germany and the other powers
would be required. The president
says that as the chief executive Of
the nation constftutionally empow-
cred to proclaim treaties when
ratified, it will be his duty to say
whether the senate by it's amend
ments or reservations has adopted
or rejected the treaty.
Press Is With Him.
The foregoing constitutes the
main points in the presidents argu-
ment as fairly as I can give it after
hearing all of his 40 speeches in the
last three weeks. Most of his au-
diences interrupted these speeches
with applause quite frequently. Oc-

are given to self-governing colon
les like Canada, South Africa, New
Zealand, Indian and Australia, and
constitute merely a voice in de-
bate" the president seems no OBJ
lection to them especially because
he thinks that even in matters of
opinion, the British colonies will
not act as a unit but may more
often side with the United States
than will some of the small ma
lions of Europe, not SO closely
akin to the people of the United
States either radically or political.
The president insists that the
moral force of the league will be
even greater than its physical
force and that provision made by
it for international conferences on
matters of labor, health, and the
advancement of human society
generally will make for a better
civilization.
Revolt Is Tolerated.
With respect to Ireland, the pres
ident never mentioned that country
specifically but he went far toward
describing the case of Ireland so
that his meaning was not lost on
his audiences. He said article 10
referred only to external agrees
sion" and that the territorial in
tegrity of no country was protect
ed against internal revolution.
Again and again he said the Paris
conferees had recognized the right
of revolution as sacred. Further
more, the president said in effect
that under the league it would be
possible for the United States to
speak up in the councils of the
league for any nation, including
Ireland, for example, and not be
subject, as the United States might
be at present, to Official criticism
in England for interfering in inter

casionalIy the crowd would rise in
approving demonstration. But even
that is hardly conclusive, as the
argument of the opposition had
hardly been made at all. In some
states, like Colorado, not much in
terest had been stirred up by either
side so the presidents argument
seemed obvious. Yet Senator
Thomas of Colorado is in disagree
ment with the president. Most Of
the newspapers of Colorado, Re-
publican as we'll as Democratic,
however, are supporting the League
of Nations and editors insisted
that Thomas was rejecting only
his personal views.
There is no doubt of the news
paper support given the league
everywhere in the west. While the
bulk of Republican press wants
reservations, the editorials do not
seem to indicate a desire to defeat
the treaty rather than forego res
ervations. The general wish seems
to be to have reservations if pos
sible and avoid a reopening of pro-
longed negotiations. President Will
son will be held just as responsible
for the consequences Of inaction in
the senate if he refuses to accept
clarifying reservations as the SEN
ators will be if they decline to yield
on reservations that are plainly OBJ
structivs and mean defeat of the
treaty. The editors and people gen
orally who want reservations seem
to think there is ample opportunity
in the league itself for future revi-
sion or correction and amendment
to covenant as it now stands.
Everywhere-and I believe the
opinion of the travelling correspond
ents was unanimous on this point
the demand for quick action by
the senate on the treaty is abso-

vent another world war from
decimating civilization.
Nine months would be required
by the terms of the treaty and
league for arbitration or official dis
cussion of international disputes.
During that period opportunity
would surely be afforded for pas
sions to cool. Had there been nine
days given to international con-
ference in 1914 there would have
been no war.
America is already bound by
treaties with 30 nations of the world
not to go to war for one year
while disputes are submitted to
joint commissions for discussion.
Therefore in self-protection Amer
lea should be foremost in asking
other nations to subscribe to the
same principle of action through
the League of Nations.
Any nation agreeing by signature
OF the peace treaty to submit dis
.putes to nine months arbitration o.
Fdiscussion and then refusing to do
so VIII be subjected to an economic
boycott-that is, it will be per-
mitted no food or goods of any
kind, no business intercourse of
any sort and will be isolated and
thus compelled to lay its case be
fore the nations of the world.
Should something stronger than
economic force be necessary, the
council of the League of Nations
on which sits an American repre-
sentative shall advise what other
steps shall be needed to compel
obedience and the preservation of
peace.
Our Consent Necessary.
No action can be taken by the
council without the consent of the
American representative because of
an unanimous vote is required. The
American delegate would be sub
1ect to instruction by the president
of the United States, who in turn
lis constitutionally unable to de-
@Iare war without the consent of
congress so that the powers of the
American representative at the
seat of the League of Nations would
be little different from those of an
American ambassador at any for
eIgn capital.
No action whatever affecting the
employment of military or naval
forces can be taken by the assem-
bly, of the league where in Great
Britain has six votes. The as
sembly takes no action but rem
ders opinions on questions sub
mitted to it. No opinion of the
majority is included all the nations
represented on the council and
since America is a permanent rep
representative on the council, the
veto of the United States can in
validate any opinion rendered by
the assembly where Great Britain
has sixe votes.
