StroYed.
SIXTH - That provision for
amendments carries with it the
idea of those who framed the
League of Nations that it would
be further perfected, which lays
upon the conscience of mankind
now, as well as the future, the
heavy responsibility of doing all
possible to prevent war any
where upon this globe; to leave
no gap down through which the
fearful monster that has just
left a torn and bleeding world
may ever enter again.
SEVENTH-That the righteous
condemnation of the citizens of
the United States and of the
world Except Germans, pro-
Germans, l. w. w. and Bolshe-
Wiki will rest upon that selfish
group of men who for partisan
or political purposes dare to as
sumo the responsibility for the
destruction of this, the worlds
first and, we fear, it's only chance
to approach real civilization by
abolishing war among nations.
EIGHTH-That this nation, by
reason of it's ideals, by reason of
its commerce, by reason of its
relation to other nations of the
world, by reason of it's cons
cience and responsibilities be
fore God and mankind CANNOT
and DOES NOT want the selfish
isolation proposed by some. 1t
is now impossible.
NINTH-That after shedding the
blood of it's noble sons upon the
battlefelds of Flanders to make
a world right, America does not
wish to selfshly withdraw in the
face of duty and conscience and
let the world drift into ware and
more wars if she can prevent it.

A Pc TITO N:

the treaty proper is unthinkable,
TENTH-That failure to ratify
the treaty proper is unthinkable
involving consequences most
grave in its effect upon mankind
throughout the world, and the
resultant effect upon the COM
merce of this and other nations
with which we deal.
ELEVENTH-That we believe
that the voting power of the
United States in the Council of
the League is sufficient as com
pared to that OF Great Britain,
inasmuch as the covenant Itself
carries the remedy for any PIE
preponderance of voting power
overbalancing that of the United
States.
TWELFTH-That in view of the
unrest in this country as well
as throughout the world, we be-
lieve that it is imperative that
immediate action be taken.
We therefore appeal to the Sena-
tors from Georgia and through
them direct to the Senate to ratify
the treaty proper is unthinkable
without amendments or reserva
lions and we firmly but respect
fully urge that this be done at the
earliest possible moment.
The shades of those who went
over and fought and died are
watching, the living eyes and heart
strings of those who hope and
pray for Liberty, for Justive and
or freedom from war throughout
he world are fastened upon Wash
ngton and the Senate Of the Unit
I'd States. Senators, what answer
will you give? "Will We give them
bread or stone?"

WE, the undersigned, after wait
w ing for the Senate Committee
on Foreign Relations to report on
the Treaty and after careful con-
sideration of the amendments and
reservations proposed are firmly
convinced
FIRST--That the Importance of
early ratification of the treaty
without reservations or amend
ments outweighs the amend
ments and reservations pro-
posed
SECOND-That the instrument in
itself carries the remedy for
many, if not all, of the objec-
tons raised against it.
THIRD-That the right to with
draw from the League of Ma
tons within a period of two
years in our opinion safeguards
the rights of the United States
as vel as other nations.
FOURTH-That Art. x. does not
abridge the powers of the Con-
gress to a declaration of war or
its powers to withhold that dec
laration.
FTFTH-That the matter of Shan
tung while not meeting Amer
lean ideas of justice, is not sus-
ceptible of being settled in the
manner proposed, but to the con-
trary if amended by the substi-
tuition of China for Japan as
proposed, can only result in in
ternational antagonism and pos
sibly war. ThaC the instrument
if amended as proposed would
utterly destroy any hope for fu-
turc Justice for China in the
natter at issue. That the only
court of appeal China can now
look to and where her wrongs
can be righted, would be shat
tered and all her hopes de-
