SIBERIAN SITUATION.

NJ Authentic information having come
@rom VIadivostok that an anti-Ameri-
8ean spirit is being fostered with sue
8eess in Siberia, cognizance of the fact
Bhou1d be taken by Washington and
determined efforts made tC offset the
propaganda. There is no reason why
Nhe United States and the peoples of
Siberia should not be the best of
Nriends and promote the interests of
4each other in an atmosphere of amity.
At this distance it is not easy to UNI
nerstand why the feeling of HOSTILE
sty should prevail unless because the
aSiberians expected from America
more than America was willing to
give or could give. The basic griev-
hnce of the Siberans appears to be
the offer of a parley with the Boil
lsheviki at Princes Islands of which
president Wilson is credited with
Ibeina the author. However, that may
have been seized as a pretext by those
previously unfriendly toward America
for the purpose of stirring up in
creased dissatisfaction. 1t is a sorry
state of affairs and no time should be
lost in contradfcting the false rumors

| of the world than to have nation,
I especially a powerful nation, abro-
gate the treaty. 1t is usually q pre-
/ urinary to war.
Il am obliged TO move rapidly, for
my time is expiring, but there arc
two great points that ] cannot leave
wholly untouched. One is Article
KIN, providing for manufactures. 1T
does not say who shall select the
mandatory. that is, that nation may
be selected to take charge of weak
or a backward people and be APP
pointed by the league 10 that work.
It has been suggested that we should
take charge of Constantinople; that
we should take charge of Armenia
and Mesopotamia and Syria.
Il am not going to argue it at
length. l am not as deeply opposed
to that provision as many others
as most other people are, as | believe
the American people is. But it is
very grave responsibility to take
to take charge of some distant people,
furnish them with civilians to carry
on their government, furnish them
with an army to protect them, and
send our young men away on that
business. We have done it in Hayti,
we have done it in San Domingo, we
have done it in Nicara qua, and are
doing it now. That is all within the
Monroe Doctrine; that is all within
our own ring fence We must do it;
we owe it to the world; and we are
quite capable of doing it successfully.
But this is demand to go out
through Asia, Africa, ard Europe, and
take up the tutelage of other people.
The Most Important Article.
Then comes Article X. That is the
most important article in the whole
treaty. That is the one that I want
the American people TO consider,
take it to their homes and their fire
sides, discuss it, think of it. If they
commend it the treaty will be ratified
and proclaimed with that in it. But
think of it first; think WE'LL
THAT pledges us to guarantee the
political independence and territorial
integrity against external aggression
of every nation a member Of tho
league. That is every nation Of the
earth. We ask no guarantees: We
have no endangered frontiers; but We
arc asked to guarantee the territorial
integrity of every nation practically in
the world-it will he when the league
is complete. AS it is today, we guar
antee tho territorial integrity and po-
litical independence of every part Of
the far-fiung British Empire.
Now mark A guarantee is never
invoked except when force is needed

The Monroe Doctrine.

81 now come 10 what seems to me
a very vital point indeed, and that IS
. the Monroe Doctrine.
"The Monroe Doctrine is the cor
ollary of Washington's foreign policy
declared in the farewell address. /
am not going to base any argument
upon it, bui it is a mistake to consider
the policy laid down by Washington
and Monroe as ephemeral and ncces-
sarily transient. AS Mr.. Wilson we'll
said, WashinGton'S doctrine was not
transient. 1t may be wrong; tho
time may have come to discard it, but
it is not ephemeral, because it rests
on two permanent facts-human ma.
ture and geography.
"Human nature, you may say, has
changed, when you study the history
Of the past. far as we have a his
tory, there is curious similarity in
it at all stages. But one thing is Ger
tain-not even the Wisest and most
optimistic Of reformers can change

used, especially when an answer was
not very easy, that criticism must be
constructive, not destructive. 1t was
n convenient way of answering aWk-
ward questions, and evidently those
who use it and use it freely have never
stopped to think that there are some
cases whore criticism must be con-
structivc as we'll as destructive and
some where it must he destructive
alone
"NOW this is a case where con-
&tructiVe criticism is clearly needed,
and my first constructive criticism is
that this league ought to be rcdraftcd
and put in language that everybody
can understand. BY doing that you
will remove at once many causes of
difference and dispute. and YOU want
the instrument to diminish disputes,
increase harmony, because its purpose
is to promote peace.
"Anothcr point is to remember this
that the sanctity of treaties is above
everything also important. Whatever
a country agrees to, that the country
must maintain. The sanctity OF treat
les lies at the basis Of all peace and
therefore we must be as careful as
possible to remove all chances Of dis
agreement arising out of conflicting
interpretations Of language.
Vote Of Executive Council.
Now, in discussing the draft of the
league ] can only deal with the most
important points. TO ana1Nzc those
articles OF that league as they should
be analysed would take many hours
But / will speak of one point, which
runs all through it-One objection. as
it seems to me which runs all through
it, and that is that there are SO many
places where it says that the eXecu-
tive council-Which is the real seat of
authority-shall recommend, or adj
vise or propose measures, and it fails
to say by what vote they shall do il.
There are one or two places where it
is stated there shall be a two thirds
vote. another case where it shall be
unanimous; but in most cases it is not
stated.
"NoW, either there should be a
clause in there saying whore not
otherwise stated, the decision of the
executive council shall be by ma
jority vote, or else it ought to be ex-
pressed in every al 1!cie where they
are called upon to make q rccommen-
dation or a proposal, or a decision of
any kind.
again let me quote from Mr. Taft
He says, speaking of ambiguous
phrases: 'Onc Of these, for instance,
is in respect to the executive coun-
Gil. Will it need a unanimous vote
or will a majority vote be sufficient
where there is no specification p That
puts the point extremely well. and T
think there should be another change.
I offer that as a second constructive
criticism.
