ROOTS APPROVAL
OF LEAGUE BRINGS
Up BIG QUESTION
Continued from First PageD

throw some light on the difficulties Of
getting any such amendment adopted.
Originally, the American peace dele
CATION at Paris had in its draft for a
league Of nations exactly such a pro-
vision as Mr.. Root now proposes. II
stayed in that draft for a long time, or
rather until all draft plans were laid
on the table for discussion. Col, House
and President Wilson both favored COM
pulsory arbitration very strongly. Dele
cations from other countries were not
ready to go that far. They argued that
eventually such a step might be taken,
but the world was not ready to bind
itself to submit all questions, including
those Of national honor and vital inter-
est to arbitration.
One night Col. House told the Ameri-
can correspondents that the compulsory
arbitration feature had been dropped
from the covenant in the interest OF
agreement and harmony. He said he
regretted this very much because he
believed compulsory arbitration vas
essential for peace. But, he added, a
start must be made somehow and that,
according as faith in the league grew,
public opinion would sanction changes
and that eventually compulsory arbitra-
ton would prevail.

Not Sure of Solons.

Why" asked some of the corre-
spondents Of Col. House, was the COM
pulsory arbitration ~eliminated?'
Because other delegations would not
agree to it, he answered, and then
added, and, of course, we were not
certain that the United States senate
would accept compulsory arbitration.
What Col. House probably had in
mind was the attitude of the Repub.
ltcan majority in the senate toward the
end Of the Taft administration in 1919
when arbitration treaties with Great
Britain and France failed of ratifica.
ton. The senate insisted on a special
clause in the treaty requiring that be-
fore any questions were submitted the
text of the submission agreement should
be approved by the senate as a special
agreement.
This was regarded as a limitation or
exception to the generality of the arhi-
tration feature itself, and it was per-
haps not deemed advisable to offer the
treaty in modified form to the govern
ments of Great Britain and France. In
any event, if the Republican party has
refused to date to sanction Compul-
sorry arbitration with such big powers

Colombia has been clamoring for 10
years for an arbitration of her dispute
over the partition of pan-America, a
question of whether the United States
violated the treaty Of 1S4S, in which
a guarantee Of territorial integrity and
sovereignty of Colombia was given, but
the United States has refused to sub
nit the question to arbitration and the
senate has never ratified treaties, pro
posed first by President Taft and then
by President Wilson, to settle the con-
troversy.
In the light of mis- history has the
senate changed sufficiently to accept
a clause compelling arbitration of JUST
ciable questions, such as Interpretation
| Of treaties? Taft, Root, Knox, Wilson
and now the American peace mission
have advocated such a course, bu'
would the senate ratify a covenant
with such a far-reaching clause in it?
Col. House thought not. Some inter
national lawyers here think, on thu
| other hand, that a majority Of the sen,
ate, under the leadership of Knox anC
Lodge, would favor such a step today
but are not sure whether a t~wo-third,
vote could be secured They even pre-,

Urged Preparedness.
- When the European war began
Roosevelt vigorously advocated
policy of national preparedness, urg-
ing universal military training for
the nations youth. In speeches
throughout the country and in his
magazine and newspaper writings he
criticized, in this respect, the poll
cies of Woodrow Wilson during Mr..
Wilson's first term as president.
Mr.. Roosevelt, it has been said,
was keenly disappointed when he did
not receive the republican nomina-
ton for president in 1916. At the
same time, however, he refused to
follow the advice of some Of his
staunchest followers that he again
head the progressive party ticket.
Instead he prevailed upon the pro-
gressive party to make Charles
Evans Hughes. the republican candi-
date, its own choice.
He ,campaigned for Mr.. Hughes.
With the reelection of~Mr. Wilson
and Americas entry into the world

ately supported the president and
bitterly assailed the pro-Germans
pacifsts and other type of men who
attempted to delay speeding up the
war.
