speech of Senator Walsh, of Mon
tana, recently delivered in Con-
gress in support of the League
of Nations, we cannot overlook
the opportunity of pointing out
the far-fetched comparisons made
between ordinary treaty agree
ments and the treaty powers con-
ferred by the League of Nations
mentioned by the Senator, which
are not parallel in any particular.
The Senator calls attention to the
treaty made with the new repub-
lie of Panama by Roosevelt, in
which this country guaranteed
the integrity of the new republic
from outside aggression in return
for the concession given the Unit
ed States to build the canal; and
again, to another treaty made in
1916, with the Republic Of New
Granada wherein this country
agreed to maintain the rights of
sovereignty and property of that
country in return to concessions
granted to us. There is no dis
pute as to the right of the Presi-
dent and Senate to negotiate a
treaty with any power where it
will prove of mutual advantage
to all parties, as in such an event
each country has it's equal repre-
sentative power in the making of
the terms, and none of the con-
stitutional rights of our country
haye to be abrogated to make it
effective. But the operation of
the League of Nations is not
along these lines. Under that
proposed covenant we practically
enter into an agreement to Gre
ate a superior power to the gov
ernment of the United States,
and all authority for maintaining
peace or declaring war, or the
adjudication of any disputed
question between any of the sig-
natories, is to be taken before
the League commission for set
tlement and their decision shall
be final. No longer will the Pres
ident and the Senate have treaty
making powers as provided in the
constitution, and Congress will
be deprived of it's authority to
declare war. The legislative
powers of the government are
curtailed in legislating on any in
ternal question that might be in
ternational in it's effect, as such
legislation must meet the approx
al, not of the President of the
United States as at present, but
of the League of Nations commits
sion, and to get that approval
the legislation will have to meet
the sanction of the signatory
powers. The supreme commits
sion as provided by the league
covenant will consist of one rep
resentative each from England,
France, Italy, Spain, Greece, Bel
gium, Japan, Brazil, and the
United States. This commission
represent six kings and three re-
publics; six kings who believe in
the divine right of rulers, as
against three representatives of
democracies where the govern
mental powers are vested IN the
people, and the people of the
United States are supposed to
hail with joy the privilege of sur
rendering their rights and liber-
ties into the keeping of this
League of Nations, simply be-
cause Mr.. Wilson, in his dual Of
fetal capacity as President of the
United States and member of the
peace commission, has seen fit to
join with the other commission
ers in the construction of this
alleged covenant for a world
peace.
