Washingtonians took it seriously,
because Sherman has said some very
serious things about profteering here,
in senate speeches. The president
of one of the numerous "civic pride"
organizations which flourish in Wash

really was possibility of congress

Potomac and the Washington monu-

offers have come from several states
(made quite unofficially of course,
but in some cases by influential citi-

Senator Kenyon said he knows
Iowa would do the job right, and
Senator Reed asked that the claims

of the reported presence there of a

Taft Says Withholding of
Peace Treaty Aids Its Foes
Asserts Presidents Right Do So Is Clear but That Issue Now
Resolves Itself Into One of Courtesy and Tact-Ponts
Out Increased Possibility of Finding "Jokers"
By WILLIAM HOWARD TAFT.

The right of the President to with
hold from the senate the full text of
a treaty which he is negot;i ting with
other powers until he submits it to
that body for its advice and consent
is clear and undoubted, but the issue
now is not one of st~!c; constitutional
procedure. It's one of courtesy and
tact.
The league Of nations, from the
first, was known to be part of the
treaty. Indeed, in the view of those
who advocate the league Of nations,
the treaty could not have been made
without it. The President gave to
the public, and so to the senate, the
full text of the covenant, even as it
was reported by the committee to the
conference. ub.oquently he gave
the full text of its revision. Then
there was published full abstract of
the peace treaty rs it was submitted
to the Germans for their assent and
signature. The abstract contained
10000 words, while the text was said
to contain $4,000.
No sufficient explanation has been
given why the full text of the treaty
was not given out at the time when
the abstract came. 1t was supposed
at first that the abstract preceded
the full text because of convenience
in transmission. If the text of the
treaty contained something the public
ought not to know until after the
Germans had acted, why give out
such an abstract at all? To with
hold the text when the abstract is
given out, of course, raises curiosity
and suspicion as to what the differ
ence is between the abstract and the
text.
If they both had been give nout at
the same time, or within a short in
terval, the public, and indeed, many
senators, would probably not have
read anything but the abstract. Only
those senators and others charged
with the responsibility in respect to
The Greeneville daily sun. (Greeneville, Tenn.) 1918-1920, 1919-06-10

the matter of preparing for discussion
would have gone carefully through
the full text. But now that the text
has been withheld so long, it is nat
ural that those opposed to the league
of nations and the President's course
in regard to the treaty should make
much of the failure TO give out the
text, and should complain when it is
discovered that the text has found
its way to New York into the hands
of private citizens, although the sem
ate has been denied opportunity to
see it.
1t is not conceivable that the alb
stract misrepresented the text. Yet
when the situation is tense such an
unexplained course on the part of the
administration naturally gives rise to
impatience and criticism, all of which
might have been avoided had the text
been submitted in the first instance.
The result now is that the text will
be examined with a microscope by the
opponents of the league and the de-
tails in the text not contained in the
abstract will be exaggerated into
what are called "jokers" and seized
upon as full of danger and sinister
purpose.
1t is unfortunate that such course
should be taken by an administration
that has made so much of the neces-
sity for publicity. 1t has been re-
ported that the text was withheld at
the instance Of Mr.. Lloyd George, but
with no explanation or why he de-
sired to withhold it. Whatever his
reason, his request and the compli-
ance with it were a mistake that mere
ly furnishes ammunition for the op-
ponents of the treaty. Probably nev-
er in the history of our treaties have
the senate and the public been given
as full opportunity to know and dis
cuss the controversial points of a
treaty in advance Of its official sub
mission as in this case. Yet by this
last error the administration has lost
any credit attaching to such policy.

commodities. The headman would
then take them from the villagers
and hand them over to the military
authorities who would pay for them

to see that the money was distrib-

have been apparently grateful and
contented. Hence it is difficult to
account for their attitude.

complaint is general that stock and

UNTRUE TALES
OF AMERICANS
Paper Publishes Stories of
Absurd Sentences Given
to Germans.

Coblenz. May 3.-(Correspondence
of the Associated Press.)-Some fan
tastic fiction is published in German
newspapers by writer's from Frank
fort and Leipsic who have visited
Coblenz and returned home to write
whatever they may. please about the
American army. Many Of the stories
they tell are new to the officers of the
Third army who count them as Ger
man propaganda.
One writer of a long article in the
Leipsic paper dealing with life in
Coblenz relates alleged, Instances of
ridiculous sentences imposed upon
Germans by the American army
courts. In one case he says that the
wife Of a government official, IAN
noyed on the street by a drunken
soldier, exclaimed in her anger: II
only all the Americans would go to
the devil'!" The military court. he
says. punished her for this religious
wish" by sentencing her to appear
every morning for thirty days at the
headquarters of the commanding Of
ficer and repeating to those present
the phrase: 81 am glad that you are
still here, gentlemen, and 1t is my
wish that you continue to stay here
for a long WHILE" s.
This is all news to the American
officers. II any woman appears at
