Meeting the Directors

D RESIDENT WILSON has given another
indication OF his intense cagerness tc
have the treaty OF peace ratified, to have
the war done with, to have the vital problems
OF world reorganization solved, to have sta
biity once more in the domestic life Of this
and other bellgerent nations and to give Tin,
American people full and free chance tc
move forward in working out the destiny
which is theirs.
He has consented to the embodiment OF
reservations in tho ratifying resolution itself
concession Of the utmost Importance He
has given Senator Hitchcock authority to say
that il merely mild reservations which are
designed to interpret instead or to emascl,-
late the treaty are enacted at the time the
Senate votes upon the treaty, he feels that
such action will not prove Objectionable 10
the other signatories TO the treaty, and that
peace may not be interminably delayed.
In the beginning or the treaty discussion
the President took the ground that no quail
LEGATIONS or conditions whatever should be
insisted upon by the Senate. He felt that
the treaty should be ratified just as ii stood
aud his feeling was based upon profound
knowledge on his part first, of the inherent
merits OF the measure, and, next upon the
fearsome risks which would be involved in
tampering with Il document which had been
drawn and signed after months of hard labor
by the best minds in the world today
little later, in order to satisfy any sim
cere doubts on the part OF Americans con-
corning the meaning or certain sections of
the treaty the President publicly consented
to the passage OF a contemporaneous resolu-
ton which will effectively interpret the
American viewpoint, but which would in no
sense destroy any vital provision or the
treaty. When the President made this frank
oner to the opposition it seemed morally
certain that it would result in a friendly
agreement to ratify the treaty as INTERPRETED
But the opposition, still dissatisfied and
still bent upon literally denaturing the
treaty, even if it could not be choked to
death altogether, rejected this compromise
OFFER. They continued to fight, to offer
amendment after amendments then, when all
amendments were voted down, to bring forth
drastic reservations the whole intent of which
is to make the treaty unacceptable to the
other powers involved
NOW the President holds out his hand
again. He is willing to have reservat tons
laid down, and laid down in the ratifyng
resolution, provided they are not offered as
means OF mutlation, but are offered in
sood faith, TO clear up any misgiving as to
the safety Of American interests
But the opposition remains obdurnte Il,
means TO Kill the treaty if it is possible 10

a Worn and Weary Congress

lRED statesmen at the national capital
are longing for n vacation. Burdened
with mighty labors for many months mast
they are figuring day by day upon a possible
recess that will relieve their nerves, sober
their judgments and refresh them for the
ordeal which is to begin with the regular
session in December and which is to end
when the next national campaign forces Them
from Washington.
An equally tired nation would cheerfullv
welcome an adjournment today if tho locis-
lators could depart as good and faithful SER
wants, with the job completed and with the
rest and relaxation which they dream Of
earned IF the weary takers were as weary
as the nation which has listened to them.
they would long ago have concluded the
business in hand and would have Withdrawn
from the spotlight. But there has never
been a congressional session called TO deal
with vital questions that has resulted in so
much lost motion and waste Of time There
has never been one that was so prolific of
mere words and so short on action Woke
ana months have come and gone since the
President yielded to manifest necessity and
called The two houses together to enact the
appropriation bills which had been defeated
by outrageous filibuster
during the whole Of this long period OF
Amc Congress has accomplished practically
nothing. II has passed prohibition en-
contro! act, repealed daylight legis-
iation. returned the telephone and telegra oh
companies to their owners and submitted a
constitutional amendment granting suffrage
to women. That is the extent of the results.

rration bills is included

to justify him in presenting it again to the
conference in its changed form and the prin-
cipal powers should decline to agree to its
terms. the Senate action will probably mean
the end OF the treaty and the league, in so far
as Americas connection with it is con-
ccrned and peace with Germany will have
to be negotiated separately or made effective
by action of Congress. 1t matters not what
