Usurpations Seen

A most interesting comment APP
pears in 'The Springfield Republi-
can a strong supporter of the
league 1t opposes the Knox resolu-
ton as "usurpation,' but comedies
that it would have been better had
the league and the treaty been con-
sidered separately:
There was considerable to be said
last winter for the first Knox rcsolu-
ton advising the postponement of the
league Of nations until some indefinite
date after peace terms had been i'm
posed upon the Central Powers. The
chief objection to that course was that
such postporement would mean the
formation Of no league at all, and this
view is now sustained by the fiat re-
fusal Of France to acceda to the appeal
of Messrs. Lloyd George and Wilson to
guarantee TO Germany admission to
the league at an early date, if not
Immediately.

had to pay, however, for following

IncurabIc PGrtisanship

"The real feature OF public interest
in the solemn Senate investigation Of
the sc-called treaty leak is not the
possible disclosure of something inn
portant, but the manifestation once
more of the apparently incurabe part-
san littleness of most of our national
leaders. The leak business is simply
political game on both sides Nessrs.
Lodge and Borah started It to put the
President and the Democrats in
hole The latter countered with an
effort to put the Republicans in a hole.
Neither side seems to have been caring
much about anything else. While the
world is still on the verge OF great
chasr, which it is seeking a means to
bridge, if it is to escape from a reign
of terror and danger, the leading rep.
resentatives of each party are playing
for political points, so that their
crowd may be awarded the contract
next year Of running this 100000
nation"
The Republican papers welcome
the publication of the treaty and
scott at the notion that any breach
of faith was involved "The Chi
cago Tribune,' that first published
the text and that furnished Senator
Borah with the copy printed in The
Congressional Record" comments

not think any previous administration

THE game is founded on the simple
principle known as 'open covenants,
openly arrived at and the object is
TO try to keep the document. which the
Senator's the ins) will soon be asked
to sign, out of their hands as long as
poss bic while the outs are reading it.
The game has not been taken by the
Senators in the spirit intended, we are
sure. by its inventors Mr. Lodge and
others are angry because the docu-
ment is not given them at once Mr..
Hitchcock is apparently Of opinion that
it is little short of treason and sac

A Plea for inc

Zone cf the highest duties that the
United States Senate has been called
upon to perform in the entire course
of its existence is to take care that
the extraordinary covenant which has
been embodied in the treaty in it's
present form shall not commit this
country to dangerous or impracticable
policies Of international action, or to
any action which may essentially i'm
pair American rights and interests.
'Senator Knox's resolution is not in
compatible with an early arrival at
peace with Germany. 1t is fully mind
full Of the friendly and cooperative du-
ties which we would fairly owe to our
co-belligorents in the late war in the
event OF any situation in Europe which
would threaten Hheir peace and free
dom. 1t is plea for time and the
opportunity which will enable us to
determine apart from any other issue
or condition the question wheih her the
league Of nations would be desirable
to this country, either as whole or in
part, or whether it should be rejected"
One Of the few Republican papers
TO express any dissent is The New
York Tribune, which agrees with the
desirability Of what Senator Knox

powerful influence in making the

ME tempest ~ the Senate over
the leak of the peace treaty
has had two results. 1t has
caused the publication of the full
text in THE Congressional RECORD"
and in the press And it has stirred
in the Senate and in editorial col
Umns the bitterest partisan recrim-
nations. Of larger results nobody
has discovered trace.
AS for the text itself, it is gen.
orally agreed by both Republican
and Democratic papers that no I'M
portant discrepancy between sum
mary and text has been revealed.
Sentiment is. unanimous in wonder
ing why the text was withheld. The
one considerable difference noted is
that relating to the Saar Valley.
Concerning this The Springfield
Republican, says:
at is also Of no little significance
thai the divergence should be special
~ notable in the case Of the Saar
Valley. In the summary the chances
Of its recovery by Germany seemed
small enough; the details revealed by
the full text reduce this chance to the
vanishing point. They show for ex-
ample that the plebisci.e to be taken
at the end of fifteen years is merely
advisory the decision being left to the
league of nations, taking into &C
count the wishes of the inhabitants.
Since the league must act by unani-
nous vote, to turn France out of the
Saar Valley might not be easy More
over, the text shows. as the summary
fails to show, that even if both the
plebiscite and the decision Of the
league should go in favor of Germany
it could not get back the Saar Vale,
unless able to pay in gold the full
value of the mines. For Germany un
der the terms of the treaty TO posses,
gold enough for that seems impossible
Thus the provisions relative to the
Saar district appear in the full text t.
be rather thinly yelled annexation"
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1919-06-15
The Radical Tiem

A few of the radical critics are
alone in seeing dangerous revela-
tons in the full text. Says "The
New York Nation:
The peace treaty is now out The
unbushing Senate has dragged it into
the light and there is no trouble now
about seeing why it was suppressed
The Saar Valley provisions assure alb
solute French domination and, appar-
emily, ultimate annexation. The Ger
man concessions in Shantung, granted
to Japan, carry not only territorial
rights, but all the German investments
in all forms of movable and immovable
property; Japan gets them all free OF
charge. The Preparations Commission
VIII exercise practically absolute po-
lltical control of German internal af-
fairs for thirty years, at least; and
the Germans must pay the salaries and
expenses OF these sa-raps and their
stats. Germany must make over any
collateral held by her for payment Of
Austrian. Bulgarian or Turkish war
loans, and the collateral behind her
guarantee of three issues Of Turkish
currency and Turkish domestic loan.
and she must also make over any claim
that she or her nationals may have
against these nations arising out c.
these loans. When a sense of the
moral quality of these measures works
down into our people, we think they
will be heard from. We repeat. it is
no wonder that the peace conference
did not want is work to be known
Democratic Denouncers
Practically all the Democratic
papers use the most vehement Ian
guage in denouncing the Republi-
cans Of the Senate. The Charles
ton News and Courier" speaks thus:
If there has ever been u more dis
graceful performance than that of
which Senator Lodge has been guilty IN
the matter of the alleged peace treaty
leakage it would be interesting to know
when and where it occurred
"Partisanship Gone Mad Ger
man Triumph in the Senate" are

For Chaos

The Baltimore Sun" sees in the
resolution a deliberate Republican
policy to defeat or cripple the league.
1t Is really resolution in form Of
Chaos" says The Sun:
What would be the practical effect
o. the adoption Of Senator Knox's reso-
luton: l. is not likely that it can be
put through the Senate before the
