, provisions Of the treaty The American peo-
pie will not accuse it OF sacrificing China tn
Japanese greed, il the pact is ratified as 1t
now stands No straightforward American
will feel that this country confesses any
guilt if Japan is not Immediately forced out
Of Chinese territory. Therefore, the Senate
need not imagine that it is stultifying itself
II 1t approves the compromise reached at
Paris.
The practical situation is just this: Japan
is now In Shantung. She established her
self there when she drove the Germans out.
She has agreed to withdraw in her own time
and to restore the whole of this peninsula
to Chinese sovereignty. If the present treaty
is rejected by the Senate on the ground that
the Shantung settlement is unsatisfactory
and the pending amendments are tantamount
TO rejection--Japan, thus afronted may be
expected to defy the peace conference. She
may be expected to announce that possession
is nine points of the law with her, and tn
follow that announcement with challenge
that America disodge her.
To be consistent it will be necessary TOR
this country to force Japan TO do what the
Senate Repu bicans now demand Of her, if
she does not do it without force. And there
is not a member OF the Foreign Relations
Committee or of the Senate who imagines
for a minute that the American people are
solicitous enough for Chinas fate to go to
Japan's exploitation.
Moreover, Japan might reasonably be en-
pected TO refuse to sign any treaty which
discharges her Immediately from Shantung.
She would by the same act refuse member
ship in the league of nations. And
she is outside the pale of allied influenza.
she would naturally be open to overtureS
from Germany for alliance between those
two nations. What folly could be more
stupid than a course of action that would
throw these two miitaristic empires into
each others armso
1t is not necessary TO be an alarmist in
order 10 take seriously such possibilities
these. They reflect merely the logic of tho
situation, and the Senate dare not make it
self responsible for such course The coun-
try as a whole, once it understands the ele-
ments of the Shantung problem. will never
consent 10 amendments to the peace treaty
which will raise such issues as have just
been sketched
The Shantung settlement is not satisfac-
tory TO the American people. 1T is not salts
factory to President Wilson. He said as much
AT the White House conference but he added
frankly. that ii was the best compromise that
could be made. And it is the duty OF the
Senate TO accept that assurance and accept
that compromise. There is nothing 10 be
gained by rejecting it and there may be
great deal 10 be lost.
