Of the United States. It does not and
cannot infringe the Constitution Of
the United States, for that cannot be
changed in any respect except in the
manner which itself prescribes. 1t
does not put our army and navy at
the arbitrary disposal of anybody. 1t
does not in the least restrict our
freedom to protect ourselves from at
tack by Mexico or any other state.
1t does not leave US helpless to deter
mine our own immigration policy.
Any possible federation Of nations
must be essentially like a partnership
among individuals. II each prospec-
tive partner is going to assume. to
begin with, that the other prospective
partners are seeking a partnership
in order to take every possible ad-
vantage of him and injure him at
every opportunity the partnership
will never be formed. for legal inge-
nuity cannot frame compact under
which a set of rogues, working to-
gether will not find a chance to
gouge each other. But II each pros
pective partner takes the common
sense view that, as the partnership is
for the mutual benefit of all con-
cerned. every partner will wish to
keep on good terms with the other
partners and will act toward them
with a reasonable degree of honesty
and good faith, then a legal docu-
ment, satisfactory to all of them. can
be drawn.
If the United States Is going to as
sumo that it can trust nothing at all
to the good faith and common hon.
esty of any Of it's prospective part
ners in the League. or to their desire
for friendly relations with us. then
any league is out Of the question. If
we can take no chance on interna-
tional friendship we must turn Wig
orously to competitive ornaments.
with a million men and equipment
ready for instant call and a billion
year for navy. That is the choice
before US.
It is the most important question
before the country and the world. 1t
will be extensively debated. Picking
flaws, and magnifying them. is to be
expected-especially as the discus
sion has a strongly partisan hue.
Keep the onicial texts and read them
over for yourself, with plain horse
sense. not Of course forgetting that
the sincerity Of the signatory powers
is the essence Of the contract.

lean business and industry and

Back home the people are not only
becoming tired of the gigantic politi-
cal humbug. and childish sulking
tactics, but they are getting impa-

In other words. distinguished
statesmen, who realized little diff
Guilty in finding opportunities for

political sagacity to swallow their
resentment and bitterness with good
grace. and to cloak their honest
fears in friendly endeavor to put the
