Article XII

Senator Borah, apparently satisfied
with the results of the shooting at
Article X, now brings Article XII under
fire. This is an article which says:
"Any war or threat of war, whether
Immediately affecting any of the men,
bers of the league or not, is hereby de-
clared matter of concern to the whole
league, and the league shall take any
action that may be deemed wise and
effectual to safeguard the peace of
nations"
Senator Borah, holding that the action
may include economic boycotts, block
AIDES or military operations, argues that
the article is as faulty as Article X.
The deduction seems a forced one.
The salient thing about Article X is
that it pledges other associated nations
to action If the existing borders of any
nation are disturbed. The salient thing
about Article XII is that it is merely an
agreement to come together to consider
what shall be done if there is threat Of
war. 1t is not prescribed what shall be
done. There is to be a conference. that
is all; conference that can take no
action unless there is unanimous agree
ment among the nations attending it.
Surely there is no offence against
sovereignty or complete liberty of subse-
quent action to agree to meet to con-
slider problem. No one said our ma
tional integrity was impaired when we
sent delegates to The Hague or AL
geciras. Sir Edward Gey did not sin
against Great Britain's\ independence
when he tried to get conference be-
fore the Kaiser began to launch his
ultimatums.
1t is incumbent on critics of the cove
nant to be reasonable. The document is
entitled to fair treatment Without a
league, nations now deem threat of war
matter of common concern and concert
to avert the danger. Article XI thus in
troduce no new principle. To send am
bassadors to Geneva rather than to sta
ton them at the various capitals is no
great or Objectionable charge.
The error of Senator Borah seems due
to his assumption that because there is
agreement to consider particular prob
lem there is agreement to act, or to act
in particular way, concerning it. One
thing does not flow from the other. If
our delegates were summoned under the
authority of Article XII they could re-
fuse, it would seem, to be party to any
action which they did not approve.

The Right Questions

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: / have just read Mrs Evans's letter
concerning She Mexican situation, in which,
following "The World" she inquiries how
many Mexicans have been killed in the
United States. I have never been in Mexico
and know only of it and the conditions there
from what the newspapers dole out to US
from day to day If have read then cor
rectly, between 200 and 800 Americans have
been killed within the last few years. and
to these are to be added the violation OF
American women and the destruction of
American property.
If these statements be true, and | verify
believe them to be true would not the proper
inquiry be: How many Germans, Frenchmen,
Englshmen, Italians or those of other
nationalties, have been killed, their women
raped and how much of their property has
been destroyed? The proper answer to this
query would show whether or not bandits
alone are responsible for all we have suf-
fered, or whether or not the hatred of Amer
leans which is said to prevail in that coun-
try, fostered evidently by government
which has no love for US, is back of it all.

What She Said

While Anna Howard Shaw was alive
:nd could speak for herself the National
American Woman Suffrage Association
paid scant attention to the slurs against
their venerable leaders patriotism, which
were part of persistent anti-suffrage
propaganda.
Now, however, when her buoyant heart
is forever still, the sutfragists have come
forward to render one more last loyal
service, the service of setting. at rest
the story about the "piece of bunting"
In the memorial number of "The Woman
Citizen" are printed the exact words
which DR.. Shaw used in her famous de-
scrlption OF the flag as piece of bunting
"a description which is so obviously
rhetorical, and in which the patriotic
fire glows so hot, that honest miscon-
structlon of its meaning seems impossi-
BILE and leads the reader to agree with
the suffragist editor in saying that the
hardest test Of Christian. character is
to forgive those who for political Dur
poses brought charges against TIE pa-
This is what she actually said:
This is the American flag. 1t is a piece
OF bunting, and why is it that, when it is
surrounded by the flags of all other oa-
tions, your eyes and mine turn first toward
1T, and there is warmth at our hearts
such as we do not feel when we gaze on
any other flag? 1t is not because of the
beauty of it's coors, for the flags of Eng
land and France which hang beside it have
the same colors. 1t is not because of it's
artistic beauty, for other flags are as
artistic. 1t is because you and see in
that piece of bunting what we see in no
other. 1t is not visible to the human eve,
hut it is to the human soul.

an delegates.
Rumania's sovereignty is gravely in
fringed by the Austrian treaty. 1t is
true that the same limitation of SOW
ereignty is imposed on Poland, Czecho-
Slovakia and Jugo-Slavia. Poland and
Czecho-Slovakia are new states-the
creatures of the conference and subject
to it's will. Jugo-Slavia is an expansion
OF Serbia. But Serbia was not protected,
as Rumania was, by treaty of alliance,
guaranteeing her equality of status with
the major powers at the peace table.
Rumania was, in fact, treated as a
stepchild at Paris and not as a grown-up
equal. Her government and people re-
sent the arbitrary acts of the council
of three and what they consider the COM
plete failure of Great Britain and France
to live up to the terms of the treaty of
1916. The Entente promised to give
Rumania the Banat of Temesvar. The
Rumanians have lost hope that that
promise will be r-ii.,,srsl.
The peace conference shrinks from
ordering an invasion of Hungary. None
OF the major powers wants to enforce the
armistice by sending it's own troops to
the Danube. Rumania could enforce the
armistice. But to ask her to enforce
1T would involve recognition, and per-
haps redress, of her grievances.
The Hungarian problem has, therefore.
been aggravated by the alienation of
Rumania. Will the conference now re-
pair its mistake, not alone because it was
mistake but because it has made un-
available the sole military force with
which Hungary can be conveniently
coerced?

Ru1nania's Grievances

Behind the present hestations of the
account for repeated violations of the
armistice lies the difficulty created by
the council of three's treatment of
Rumania. Paris dispatches say that the
conference doesn't know just how to
classify Rumania-whether as an active
Entente power or an outsider Because
of its failure to live up to the Entente's
treaty engagements with the Rumanians
the council is not in position to ask
that country for help in disciplining
Hungary.
Premier Bratiano withdrew from the
conference early in July. After he
started home, discouraged and irritated.
LIE Temps published a semi-official sum-
mary of the Rumanian grievances
against the council of three. These
grievances have received scant attention
in this country
The Allied powers France, Great
Britain, Italy and Russia promised
Rumania, in the treaty of alliance of
1916, an equal voice with them in the
making of peace. But when represen-
tation in the peace conference was ap
portloned Rumania obtained only two
delegates, against five each for the major
powers and three each for Belgium and
Serbia
Rumania was, in fact, reiterated to
tne ranks OF the minor states, which
were little more than unoccupied by
ISLANDERS at the conference Questions
OF vital interest to Rumania were de-
clded without consultation with her dele
gates, and when the German treaty was
delivered to Brockdorff- -Rantzau on Nav
the Rumanian delegates had to be
satisfied with an oral summary.
The treaty of 1916 traced the enlarged
boundaries OF Rumania with great pre-
cislon But the Rumanian plenipeten
tlarles assert that the treaty has been
ignored in the discussions over the par
titlon of Austria and Hungary
The Austrian treaty went out of its
way to impose humliating conditions on
Rumania-conditions which the greater
powers would never have imposed on
themselves, or submitted to if sought to
be imposed on them by the united action
of the minor powers. The Rumanian
delegation protested against this feature
of the Austrian treaty. 1t obtained
delay of forty-eight hours for the pur-
pose of examining these Objectionable
provisions, but actually it did not see

Who's Got the Sugar?
To the Editor of The Tribune.

TO the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: On the last page of your Tribune
Saturday, July 26 was an article headed
"'No Sugar Shortage Says Zabriske, of the
Equalization Board"
am grocer in this city and am allow
ing my customers only three pounds of
sugar at time, for the simple reason that.
If L were to let my customers have all they
wanted half of them would not get any, as
l cannot get enough to supply them.
Mr.. Zabriskie says sugar is abundant"
The Jobbers tell us they unable to buy
sugar, as no reiiner or broker with whom
they are dealing will accept orders from
them. The jobbers cannot even get the
sugar they had contracted for long ago,
and in one instance the jobber sent check
to cover in advance. Now, if the jobbers
can't get sugar, and the retailer can't get
sugar, and the consumer can't get sugar,
and Mr. Zabriskie comes along with an ar
tlcie IN the daily Tribune and says sugar
is abundant it makes somebody a liar.
If there is plenty Of sugar I would like
MIR. Zabrskie to tell the public aohy the
Jobbers cannot get their orders filled on
sugar they have contracted for a month or
two months ago. If there is a shortage of
sugar, as the jobbers, retailers and con-
sumers have right to believe there is,
Mr.. Zabriskie should be made to come out
and tell the whole truth about the sugar
situation. 1t looks to ME as if Mr. Zabriskie
wants ito get out from under the situa-
ton" and lays it to the "profiteers" and
the "nervous" housewives
wonder why Mr.. Zabriskie did not tell
the public how much granulated sugar was
shipped out of this country in April May
and June. Then, maybe, the public could
draw its own conclusion about this shortage
OF sugar. Then, too, it might exonerate
the "proiteer" and the nervous" house
wives of their accused crime
In my opinion there is no other class of
buiness men who have been more loydl to
the government more indulgent with
the public than the grocers of this country.
But in the face of this every once in while
a Zabriskie comes out with an article in the
paper putting the whole blame of the high
cost of living on the retail grocer and the
poor nervous" housewife.

Panama's Self-Determination

The Colombian treaty throws interest
ing sidelights on the question of self
determination as practised and on the
question of what should have been done
in 1908 if the covenant had then existed.
Panama, state independent during
some periods of history, was bound to
Colombia by slender political ties. 1t
was geographically distant and socially
and economically separate. A vast
stretch of swamps and mountain divided
it from Colombia proper. To reach the
capital required voyage, first by sea,
then up the stretches of the Magdalena
River, and then muleback ride over
mountain trail-a journey of fifteen
hundred miles.
Thus dissociated, Colombia sought,
by an outrageous exercise of arbitrary
power, to veto the construction of a canal
in whose digging Panama was vitality in
terested. Panama saw the canal going
to Nicaragua and herself sidetracked for
all time. So her people righteously re-
volted, asserted the right of self-deter-
mination and set up their own govern
meht
The treaty now negotiated suggests
that, instead of recognizing Panama's
rights, we should have stood by while she
was dropped back into subservience. To
have done so would obviously have vio-
lated the principles on which the cove
nant rests. If the principles of the cove
nant are right the course pursued by the
Roosevelt Administration was fully JUS
tilted. Yet we are to pay S25 900, 900 on
the theory that in some way it was
wrong.
On what basis did the Colombian title
to Panama exist that its extinguishment
should be paid for? Obviously on the
conception that one country Gowns" an
other-has a property interest which is
sellable. By now paying Colombia we
cay she had something which belonged
10 her, and that money should go to her
when deprived of it. Thus, Panama is
presented not as a possession oe the
'anamans, but of the Colombians. A
people is treated as a vendible COM
i.lodity, or something to be bought and
sold by it's neighbors. In this fashion
10 we practically honor the doctrine that
people cannot be traded in as if a bag
of potatoes.
