Treaty Reservations and the Paris
Conference.

Conviction strengthens day by day
in the Senate that when reservations
as to articles and clauses of the
League of Nations are stuck into the
treaty the covenant will 60 before the
Peace Conference again. All the bet
ter IL it does.
What the American people know
they are going to do and are not going
to do after the treaty ratifying aud
the League tinkering are over should
also be Enthusiastically clear to all the
world now as we'll as later. Senate
action on the reservations rs such,
with nothing else done by the other
slgnatory Powers, might leave a ques-
ton in some minds as to the rock bot
tom meaning of 1t for everybody. But
Senate action which went back to the
Paris Peace Conference. which was
accepted or acknowledged. there, could
leave no shadow of doubt in the mind
of anybody.
One thing as certain as the rising of
the sun is that, League Of Nations or
no League of Nations, the United
States, so long as 1t has the strength
to say nay, is never going to permit
any Government of the Old World or
any combination Of Governments of
the Old World to dictate how the
Monroe Doctrine shall be applied to
nations and peoples in the New World
All the Powers, East and West, should
understand this now and not wait to
safind 1t out later.
Another thing just as certain is
that no matter what the League Of
Nations DEGREES the people Of the
United States are not going to help
Japan to take and hold the great Chi
nese territory and the millions of Chi
nese population which the Paris Peace
Conference has agreed shall be torn
away from China. II China ever goes
TO war with Japan, IL China ever goes
to war with other members of the
League of Nations, II China and some
other nation or nations make war on
Japan to get back that stolen prop
erty, the people Of the United States
will never send q soldier, will never
spend a penny to keep China out of
her rights. All the Powers should
understand this now and not wait to
find 1t out later.
Still another thing just as certain
is that II the people of Canada should
determine for and by themselves upon
any change in their form of govern
Z ment, upon any Encouragement of their
internal affairs, upon any national
course against outside interference,
the people of the United States would
never join in bringing pressure to
bear upon Canada, would never sane
ton such pressure on Canada by any
body. All the Powers should under
stand this now and not walt to find
It out later.
Nowhere on the face Of the earth
will the effort of the League of Ma
lions to suppress natlonalism, to hold
human beings under a foreign domi-
nation. be aided or approved by the
people of the United States. All the
Powers. East and West, should under
stand this now and not wait to find
1t out later.
Let the reservations go into the
treaty in such form and with such
effect, here, in Paris and everywhere,
that not only shall we have clean
hands as to the League of Nations,
but all men of all lands will know
that they are clean

What's TO BE Done When the Stamps
Fall on the Fly Paper!

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN--Sir: While
am first class postmaster. my office
is only a fourth class post ONCE and
my average pay is only $6.23 a month.
To-day as I took from my safe a
sheet of cent stamps l unfortunately
let 1t slip. and It fell sticky side down
on a sheet of sticky hypaper.
This, sir, is a catastrophe. One-third
OF my earnings for the month of July
is lost.
Should not the Government be re-
quired to make good to me this loss, and
IL the Government does not would not
this be a suitable case for the League OF
Nations TO discuss?

sympathy In PIanta

Plants possess feelings and emotion
similar to human creatures. and It
may be found some day they possess
powers Of reasoning.
/. Plants which have been occupying a
large sunny window become attached
to each other, and 1t very frequently
happens that when separated they be-
come sick and finally die. A begonia
becomes very much attached to
fuchsia. and II the fuchsia is removed
the begonia will be apt to show in
its appearance that something is seri-
Ously wrong.
Plants seem to be aware of each
others presence. even in the garden.
1t is difficult to say how far such
things really go in plant life, and 1t
is study we should all take more
interest in as we observe the curious
things In nature.
