it urges ratification with reserva
tons:

sufficiency, nor Of legitimate arguments

Of the peace treaty, the President IS

Usurpations Seen

A most interesting comment ap-
pears in 'The Springfield Republi-
can a strong supporter of the
league 1t opposes the Knox resolu-
ton as "usurpation,' but comedies
that it would have been better had
the league and the treaty been con-
sidered separately:
"Therc was considerable to be said
last winter for the first Knox rcsolu-
tion advising the postponement of the
league Of nations until some indefinite
date after peace terms had been i'm
posed upon the Central Powers. The
chief objection to that course was that
such postporement would mean the
formation Of no league at all, and this
view is now sustained by the fiat re-
fusal Of France to acceda to the appeal
of Messrs. Lloyd George and Wilson to
guarantee TO Germany admission to
the league at an early date, if not
Immediately.
"The terrible price Mr.. Wilson has
had to pay, however, for following
Mr.. Taft's views regarding the league
New-York tribune., 1919-06-15
IncurabIc PGrtisanship

"The real feature OF public interest
in the solemn Senate investigation Of
the sc-called treaty leak is not the
possible disclosure of something inn
portant, but the manifestation once
more of the apparently incurabe part-
san littleness of most of our national
leaders. The leak business is simply
political game on both sides Nessrs.
Lodge and Borah started It to put the
President and the Democrats in
hole The latter countered with an
effort to put the Republicans in a hole.
Neither side seems to have been caring
much about anything else. While the
world is still on the verge OF great
chasr, which it is seeking a means to
bridge, if it is to escape from a reign
of terror and danger, the leading rep.
resentatives of each party are playing
for political points, so that their
crowd may be awarded the contract
next year Of running this 1oo,00o,0oo
nation"
The Republican papers welcome
the publication of the treaty and
scof at the notion that any breach
of faith was involved "The Chi
cago Tribune,' that first published
the text and that furnished Senator
Borah with the copy printed in The
Congressional Record" comments
thus:
"There seems to be a new game at
Washington Treaty, treaty, who's got
the treaty?'
I'VE are sure its unique. We do
not think any previous administration
can lay claim 10 tor would.
THE game is founded on the simple
principle known as 'open covenants,
openly arrived at and the object is
TO try to keep the document. which the
Senator's the ins) will soon be asked
to sign, out of their hands as long as
poss bic while the outs are reading it.
The game has not been taken by the
Senators in the spirit intended, we are
sure. by its inventors Mr. Lodge and
others are angry because the docu-
ment is not given them at once Mr..
Hitchcock is apparently Of opinion that
it is little short of treason and sac
rilege to read copy Of the document
Until Mr.. Wilson returns and tells US
what It means. although everybody
with spare change in Germany is said
to be reading it, 10 say nothing Of a
few favored readers in our own coun-

R0tify With Reservations

Should the Senate pass the Knox
The choices arc two. BY majority
vote there can be formal amendment.
But amendments will be to the treaty
as whole, and the usual procedure
would be TO refer them TO the other
powers. Such references would reopen,
it would seem. the whole peace treaty
and perhaps call for reassemb bage Of
the conference.
"Thc alternative is to ratify and in

would then be IN effect at once. Not

we can now appreciate as We study the
peace terms. The European and
Japanese premiers let Mr.. Wilson have
his league. Certainly Mr. wilson,.
they chorused. Then they began col
lecting toll for it, with the active aid
OF Mr.. Wilson'S American enemies In
order to get his league Mr.. Wilson had
to yield something substantial-herc
to England, there TO France and some
where else to Italy. Everything he had
to yield in that manner was an infrac-
ton of the fourteen points and in toto
an alarming invasion Of his ideal OF
a just and lasting peace Finally he
had to yield to Japan on the Shantung
question to keep Japan in the league
at all and thus save it from being
stillborn
New-York tribune., 1919-06-15
A Plea for ime

Zone cf the highest duties that the
United States Senate has been called
upon to perform in the entire course
of its existence is to take care that
the extraordinary covenant which has
been embodied in the treaty in it's
present form shall not commit this
country to dangerous or impracticable
policies Of international action, or to
any action which may essentially i'm
pair American rights and interests.
'Senator Knox's resolution is not in
compatible with an early arrival at
peace with Germany. 1t is fully mind
ful Of the friendly and cooperative du-
ties which we would fairly owe to our
co-belligorents in the late war in the
event OF any situation in Europe which
would threaten Hheir peace and free
dom. 1t is plea for time and the
opportunity which will enable us to
determine apart from any other issue
or condition the question wheih her the
league Of nations would be desirable
to this country, either as whole or in
part, or whether it should be rejected"
One Of the few Republican papers
TO express any dissent is The New
York Tribune, which agrees with the
desirability Of what Senator Knox
New-York tribune., 1919-06-15

and Borah, the Senate now makes
scrap of paper of this solemn en-
gagement and hastcns to spread
upon the public records document,
possibly stolen, which is still un-
der negotiation, and in glaring de-
fiance of national good faith says
The New York World"
An exception among the Demo-
cratic papers is The Baltimore
Sum- which takes this dispasson-
ate view of the leak:
New-York tribune., 1919-06-15
If There Had Been No Infant

at is clear now, in the light Of six
months experience with the Paris
conference, that in the practical give
ard-take diplomatic fighting among the
big four, or the big five Mr.. Wilson
could have exercised a much more
powerful influence in making the
actual peace terms harmonic with his
peace principles if he had not con-
stnntly been forced to protect his
baby, this infant league of nations,
from persistent attempts against it's
very life attempts made both in
America and abroad and which are not
at an end"
The Hearst papers have come out
strongly in favor of the Knox reso-
New-York tribune., 1919-06-15

luton, barring only the fifth clause,
since struck out by the Senate Com
naittee. Their editorials express re-
zret that Democratic leadership has
failed to protect the nation in this
crisis.
New-York tribune., 1919-06-15

NHE tempest ~ the Senate over
the leak of the peace treaty
has had two results. 1t has
caused the publication of the full
text in THE Congressional RECORD"
and in the press And it has stirred
in the Senate and in editorial col
Umns the bitterest partisan recrim-
nations. Of larger results nobody
has discovered trace.
AS for the text itself, it is gen.
orally agreed by both Republican
and Democratic papers that no I'M
portant discrepancy between sum
mary and text has been revealed.
Sentiment is. unanimous in wonder
ing why the text was withheld. The
one considerable difference noted is
that relating to the Saar Valley.
Concerning this The Springfield
Republican, says:
at is also Of no little significance
thai the divergence should be special
ly notable in the case Of the Saar
Valley. In the summary the chances
Of its recovery by Germany seemed
small enough; the details revealed by
the full text reduce this chance to the
vanishing point. They show for ex-
ample that the plebisci.e to be taken
at the end of fifteen years is merely
advisory the decision being left to the
league of nations, taking into ac-
count the wishes of the inhabitants.
Since the league must act by unani-
nous vote, to turn France out of the
Saar Valley might not be easy More
over, the text shows. as the summary
fails to show, that even if both the
plebiscite and the decision Of the
league should go in favor of Germany
it could not get back the Saar Vale,
unless able to pay in gold the full
value of the mines. For Germany un
der the terms of the treaty TO posses,
gold enough for that seems impossible
Thus the provisions relative to the
Saar district appear in the full text t.
be rather thinly veiled annexation"
New-York tribune., 1919-06-15
The Radical Tiem

A few of the radical critics are
alone in seeing dangerous revela-
tions in the full text. Says "The
New York Nation'':
The peace treaty is now out The
unbushing Senate has dragged it into
the light and there is no trouble now
about seeing why it was suppressed
The Saar Valley provisions assure alb
solute French domination and, appar-
emily, ultimate annexation. The Ger
man concessions in Shantung, granted
to Japan, carry not only territorial
rights, but all the German investments
in all forms of movable and immovable
property; Japan gets them all free OF
charge. The Reparations Commission
VIII exercise practically absolute po-
lltical control of German internal af-
fairs for thirty years, at least; and
the Germans must pay the salaries and
expenses OF these sa-raps and their
stats. Germany must make over any
collateral held by her for payment Of
Austrian. Bulgarian or Turkish war
loans, and the collateral behind her
guarantee of three issues Of Turkish
currency and Turkish domestic loan.
and she must also make over any claim
that she or her nationals may have
against these nations arising out of
these loans. When a sense of the
moral quality of these measures works
down into our people, we think they
will be heard from. We repeat. it is
no wonder that the peace conference
did not want is work to be known'
Democratic Denouncers
Practically all the Democratic
papers use the most vehement Ian
guage in denouncing the Republi-
cans Of the Senate. The Charles
ton News and Courier" speaks thus:
If there has ever been u more dis
graceful performance than that of
which Senator Lodge has been guilty IN
the matter of the alleged peace treaty
leakage it would be interesting to know
when and where it occurred.'
"Partisanship Gone Mad Ger
man Triumph in the Senate" are
the phrases of The Philadelphia
Record Led by Senators Lodge
New-York tribune., 1919-06-15
For Chaos

The Baltimore Sun" sees in the
resolution a deliberate Republican
policy to defeat or cripple the league.
1t Is really resolution in form Of
Chaos" says The Sun:
What would be the practical effect
o. the adoption Of Senator Knox's reso-
luton: l. is not likely that it can be
put through the Senate before the
New-York tribune., 1919-06-15

by accident has it become the Amer
lean habit to make reservations when
ratifyng. The method has the merit
Of simplicity and directness, Of pre-
cisely attaining the end sought
Though in practical effect reserva-
tion often amounts to an amendment
it has a different status in interna-
tiOnal law
