the view that Germany can pay some.

This was material reduction from
earlier estimates. which were nearly

however. has come over the world. We
see the opening of new era. In th"

autocratic governments bent on con-

Gradually. however. they have been sup

interfered with their dreams of conquest.
As long as they stood, handful OF
men possessed the power TO throw the
world into war. Now. however, the ma

POLITICS AND THE PEACE
LEAGUE.

Despite the influence that IS
welded by former President
Taft, it seems quite evident that
the republicans in congress are
determined to make a political
.aissue Of the league Of nations. 1t
is noteworthy that all the
heavy broadsides in the senate
emanated either from republi-
cans or from some of the will
full" democrats who had per-
sonal reasons for opposing any
proposal advanced by President
Wilson.
A careful reading Of the
speeches delivered by senator's
who find fault with the pro
posed covenant reveals curious
conglomeration Of argument,
ranging from pecksniffian
twaddle to real reasoning from
the, reactionary point of view.
For the most part the objections
which the senator's set forth are
based upon misapprehenslon OF
the terms Of the covenant and,
if we are to attribute to those
great statesmen the sagacity
they are supposed to possess we
must conclude that such misap-
hension is more assumed than
real, the answer being the per-
sonal or political motives which
permeate the minds of the critic
OF the democrats who felt
called upon to warn the country
against plunging into a fatal
fall which the president is fix
ing for them, Senator Reed of
The Chickasha daily express. (Chickasha, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1899-current, 1919-03-06

would demolish the Monroe doc
trine. 1t made no difference to
these senator's that America,
along with the rest of the world,
has moved forward u notch or
two since George Washington S
day and that the problem con
fronting statesmen is to deal
with conditions as they exist to-
day and furthermore, they were
Just as little concerned over the
fact that the peace covenant
brings recognition for the Mon
roe doctrine from all civilized
nations. Likewise, these pro-
foundly wise statesmen for some
reason overlooked the fact that
America, although adhering
firmly to the doctrine Of no
"entangling alliances, found
herself perforce a participant in
the most gigantic war in the his
tory Of the world, her fate being
| inexorably entangled with for
eign nations.
Unquestionably, Messrs. lodge,
Knox, ct al are wise and learned
men and it is certain that they
know that in this modern world
America S relations must con
tinue to be ineXtricably inter
woven with foreign nations.
Shall we enter a league which !
promises all the guards that |
are humanity possible to make |
those relations peaceful or shall
we stand aloof, selfishly shirk-
ing our responsibilities as a ma
ton. willing to let the world I
drift along in the old way
which has always lead to warsY
That 5 the issue in nutshell. i
Mr.. Taft and Mr.. Wilson see in \
the peace conference the SUI
preme opportunity for perfect
ing plans which will minimize
the danger Of war; forward
thinking men and women every
where have just as clear a vision
of it. If short-sighted politicians
succeed in blocking the plans
which make for permanent
world peace, the blood of the
victims of future wars must be
on their hands.
Doubtless the initial draft OF
the covenant will need some doc
toring before it is finally adopt
ed by the peace conference and
it will probably undergo other
changes from time to time until
it is perfected but even IN It's
present form it marks the great
est and most practical step ever
made for the maintenance OF
peace and those gentlemen who
