A FRENCH EDITOR BREAKS LOOSE

Andre Chedradame, who is evidently highly esteemed as an
editor in France, for he was sent to this country by his gov
eminent on various missions during the war, has printed in
the Neuvelle a two column protest against the suppression
of American opinion in France and French opinion in Amer
lea. The French, he says, have recently been astonished at
what they have not been permitted to know. The deliberate
purpose, he says, has been to keep each in ignorance of the
the treaty has been made. public opinion" he
says, "has been suppressed by our censorship, aided by two
American experts" He demands to know by what authority
such high handed things are done. 'It is intolerable," he
says.
Referring to the fact that America, under the Cummins'
resolution, desired to send a delegation to the inter paria-
mentary union in Paris, he says "WilsOn declared against thj
project" on the ground that it might cause confusion" to
have other viewpoints than his own presented to the French.
He refers to conflicting attitudes on the part of the American
president, and then he adds, in conclusion:
How is it possible Mr.. Wilson believes that it is necessary
for the Russian Bolshevists. who seized their power by force.
should come to consult with the delegates of the peace confer
ence, while the same Wilson declares against the delegates of
the American congress coming to explain to their colleagues
in the French parliament what ars the wishes of the American
people in relation to the issues of peace?
"The first of Mr.. Wilson's fourteen points calls for open
diplomacy. This principle undoubtedly condemns the suppress
sion of information such a S speeches in the American senate
been that the French public knows scarcely anything of what is
happening on the other side of the Atlantic"
1t is a queer state of affairs that is presented by the
French edtor-but Of course anyone in America who dares
to call attention to it will be accused of being dislOyal to the
president, and he who does not agree with what he is putting
forth as the sentiment of America is in danger, not of hell
fire, it is true, but at least of being suspected of dislOyalty
to his country.

that this body can also approve. But they want Ii 0 stand
on its merits and to stand alone.
The senate is not responsible for the present situation.
III plainly warned against it, and the policies ana raoinons
that made this country great and made Wilson posslDie =
these policies and traditions are of more concern U Aneri-
ca than Mr.. Wilson's pride of opinion. The prioe u a GER
tain ruler in Europe recently brought his fall at the cost on
seven million lives and millions more OF manned ana Dro*en.
Mr.. Wilson was not too big to surround himself with
men of such caliber as command the confidence OF the peo-
ple as his advisers. Has he done so? Ii so, who are they!
We are listening for their names to be called. Don't all
speak at once, but who are they?
Mr.. Wilson recently said something of "plgmy MINDS"
presumably referring to the senate. He ought to know the
type, and to speak as an expert. And certainly ne doesn't
have to go all the way from his office and his cabinet table
to the capitol building where congress sits to find them.
The big minds of the world want peace. They want 1t
now. They want to end this war and end it where 1T is.
They wanted to end it where it was -four months ago.
We are all in favor of a league of nations, If it would
prevent war. But we want peace while we determine the
kind of league. We are all in favor of the Golden Rule,
universal. The world isn't very considerable OF anybodys
pride while peace waits and anarchy spreads over the world
like fire over a sun-scorched prairie.
Hohenzollern wanted his place in history.
He got it.

WHEN PRIDE JULES

-Four years ago Senator Lodge was strong for a world
league is the cackle of certain clacquers who regard as
sacrilege and %blasphemy any criticism of the Smutz-Wison
league constitution that the president brought with him from
Europe. OF course Mr. Lodge was, and of course he is, and
so are ninety-nine out of every hundred Americans who are
entitled to respectful attention on any subject of public con-
Germ. This is in line with the "straw ballot that is being
taken by certain newspapers who ask the question in cou-
pom form, Are you in favor of a league of n~ations?" Why
not ask if they are in favor of a tariff law, or a pure food
law or a postal law? The answer is a query-what kind of
a tariff law? What kind of a pure food law? What kind
of a postal law? Certainly not one that would read as many
different ways as there are people to read it or courts to
interpret it..
Mr.. Taft, who stood on the same platform with Wilson
three weeks ago last night to defend il, has since suggested
five amendments, and Mr.. Bryan has publicly admitted the
need of as many more. Last Saturdays dispatches told us.
that thirty amendments had been proposed by neutral coun-
tries, and yesterday we learned that the first eleven sections
had been ~overhauled and TENTATIVELY" agreed upon in COM
mittee, with a number of changes that it was thought would
meet more than half the objections raised by senators. 1t is
twenty-four days since the senate served notice that they
would not approve the league constitution as submitted;
there are twenty-six sections; there are at least fourteen
home governments to discuss and approve or reject after
Paris gets through. And peace waits and anarchy spreads
and the Hun renews his arrogance.
x K x
And Mr.. Taft now says, at is not symmetrcally
arranged, its meaning has to be dug out, and the
language is ponderous and in diplomatic patois" And
this is the thing our president would have foisted on this
republic to be endured forever through courtesy to those
who tickled his vanity by applauding him and cheering him
in public places in Europe.
4 x
This Nation is the heritage of the American people and
its liberties are not to be traded for a mess of potage by
any man, and especially one who, by his own argument was
~repudiated in the eyes of Europe before he went to Europe.
The Tribune hopes, and every American hopes, that the
president will bring back. with him eventually some form
of agreement for the better preservation of the peace of the
world, that all Americans can approve and that the other
branch of the treaty-making power that the people have set
up and maintained for more than a hundred years. as a check
on the ~fallibility or the vanity and ambition of presidents

Borden, last Saturday told the British delegation at the con-
ference in a formal memorandum that the Dominion repre-

involved" And Premier Hughes of Australia indicated his
approval"
And in the face of the record as it stands, America is
at last awakening to the fact that not only is the Washing
ton doctrine and the Monroe doctrine at stake, but that par
liamentary government itself is in the balance.
Get peace! Leave the league Of nations to the people.

The renewal of the announcement of Mr.. Creels retire

of any other of the nations, wanted peace first in order
that her people could begin to rebuild. The head of eur
delegation, our own president, wanted a league of nations
first and spent three weeks of precious time campaigning
for it among the peoples of other governments, a thing we
have never tolerated in America on the part of a foreign
Diplomat.
When the draft of a constitution for a league was
finally approved and published we found that statesmen and
governments in Europe were reading it one way and the
president and his supporters were reading it to us in an
entirely different way. And the greater the number OF peO-
pie who read, the greater the variety of interpretations we
ed, and a member of the presidents cabinet, Secretary Dan
iels, told us that:
Any mn in this country who tries o stir up opposition
to the league of nations will be guilty of trying to pave the
way for another world deluge o blood, and will be just IS
great a criminal as the ex-kaiser.
And we were to take it without the crossing Of "t' or
the dotting of "T' because thirteen other nations, mostly
European, had already agreed to it in the form proposed.
They hadn't done anything of the kind. Their representa-
tives had, subject in many cases to approval by their home
governments. The theory was that our government had al
ready approved it in Paris. But let us thank God our gov
eminent, or at least a part of it, is still in America.

And then, in order that the other delegates, as well as
Mr.. Wilson, might remember this, the other branch of the
treaty-malang power told them politely but firmly that this
document would not be approved in the form submitted,
and advised that peace with our enemies be effected and a
treaty submitted in order that the world might not have to
wait on the judgment of our people concerning issues in
dispute.

represented seventy millions of our people who had elected
them to prevent any president or secretary of state from
binding this nation by any agreement with any other nation
except with their approval. And these men had not even
been consulted before the president approved on behalf OF
the United States this document by which we were to be
bound forever, and concerning which no two students have
yet given the same Interpretation.
And this was his answer:
When the treaty comes back, gentlemen o this side will
find the covenant not only in It, but sc many threads OF the
treaty tied to the covenant that you a not dssect the cove
nant from the treaty without destroying the whole struc-
ture.

since GERMANY on October 5 asked for terms of peace and the
