FREL|NGHUYSEN
DEFINES STAND
Senator Does Not Favor Secret
Treaties and Believes U. S.
Should Weld More Power

U. S. Senator Joseph S. Freli1ghuy-
sen has sent out a statement covering
his stand on the league of nations.
The statement follows:
The question before the public is
not the abstract one, whether it Is
agreement which will prevent wars or
at least render them i~mprobable; but
the concrete proposition, whether the
proposed League of Nations is so near
ly perfect hat no attempt should be
made to amend or even to criticize it.
Under the proposed league, secret
treaties may be made up to the time
of its adoption n may remain sec
ret after its adoption. The United
States, which we all believe to be the
greatest nation in the world, has but
one vote. while other nations which
are no greater. If as great, will have
more votes The league is open to the
construction that an executive coun-
Gil made up of representatives of gov
ernments, the majority of which diff
fer from our form may pass upon
questions such as the tariff, immigra-
ton laws and their enforcement; that
we must be ready with our army and
navy to protect n nation in Europe,
Asia or Africa when attacked by IN
other nation; and that we should be-
come a party to it, we can with
draw unless we secure the consent of
all other parties.
II do not favor secret treaties. To
me they are odious and a cause for
suspicion. The United States is the
greatest nation in the world and her
voice in any international agreement
should at least be equal to that of any
other nation. Representatives of for
eign governments should not have a
voice in our internal affairs, and we
should be the sole judges Of our tariff
and the exclusion of aliens to us I'M
desirable. 1 do not favor an agree
ment which is open to the construc-
ton thai We may be Obliged to take
part in every war in Europe, Asia or
Africa, or that would permit a Coun-
Gil made up of representatives of
European and Asiatic Governments
to decide when we should go to war
There should be common rules bind
ing all nations so as to render wars
improbable. / believe the United
States would be prepared to agree
that it would cooperate with all the
nations on the American Continent. I
cannot believe, however, hat public
opinion in the United States favors an
obligation to enforce International
rules in Asia, Africa and Europe.
Should any occasion arise in the full
ture requiring our Intervention in Eu-
Asia or Africa, we can be count
ed upon to do the right thing: but
any obligation should not be incurred
which might require us to enter every
no matter what questions might
be involved. Any International Agree-|
ment, which is made, however, should
contain a provision permitting us to
withdraw from 1t. as we certainly
would desire to do, should we learn
from experience that instead of pro-
noting the welfare of the world it
was merely sowing the seeds of an
other world strife"

DEADLOCK ON TWO POINTS BALKS LEAGUE
OF NATIONS PROGRAM At CONFERENCE
n. Z. A. Special to the EVENING
NEWS.

PARIS, France, March 20-Two
things threaten the League OF Ma
tons.
The first is Europe's secret treaties
The second is Japan's demand thai
no nation bar her people while they
let in immigrants of other countries
The action of a peace congress
commission favoring the leaving of Il
islands off the shore of Turkey under
control of Italy has brought the dead
lock on the first.
The commission held hat the trea-
ty of 1915, which recognized Italian
rule in the islands was binding. The
American delegates insist the
islands are peopled mostly by Greeks,
they SHOULD have a chance to say
whether they would be under Greek
or Italian rule.
It's the Wilson principle of self-de-
Termination that is brought to the test
A deadlock on these two would COM
pei the making of a preliminary peace
treaty with Germany without the
charter of a League of Nations at
tached, despite the demands of Pres
ident Wilson that they be not divorc-
ed.
Otherwise the League of Nations
plan can be attached only in a general
outline, its details to be worked out
before the formal peace treaty is sub-
H1lIGn 10 all the ndLiOuS lOt dIiAiS
lions.
Failing to agree to the American
viewpoint on the first question, that
of the secret treaties, must mean the
refusal of America to join the league,
II the Wilson principals are to be I'M
broken. And without America, the
League of Nations would be no more
than an alliance of European powers
more likely to provoke war than to
prevent it.
Failing to agree to a Japanese de-
mand that the league bar racial dis
elimination in framing immigration
laws may keep Japan out of the
league, and leave her free to organize
the east against the western world.
On the other hand, any provision
of the League OF NATIONS which would
compel the United States to receive
emigrants from the far east on an
equality with others would make vio-
lent the opposition to the League of
Nations project in America, particu-
larry in the western part of the oun
try, and might result in the refusal
of the United States Senate to ratify
the peace treaty.
The protest of American delegates
against the report of a commission OF
the peace conference that Dodecanese
should remain with Italy under pro-
visions of one of these treaties, despite
their Greek population was the
stronger because of the precedent 1t
set.
Acceptance by the conference would
amount to recognition of h right of
Italy to the Dalmation coast as well
and OF the agreements among the
powers concerning the near east. II
would be a blow to the principle of
self-determination. which is one of the
most important in the Wilsonian pro-
gram.
Therefore two differences. n di-
Tectly affecting America, the other
affecting only the old world at pres
ent, but involving n of the most
important Of Wilsonian principles
must be reconciled before the League
of Nations can become a fact.
