RATIFY THE TREATY
WITHOUT RESERVATIONS

! For nearly I've years we ave
been facing such stupendous issues
that the average man and woman in
our country does not realize the mag
nitude of the crisis which is nearly
upon US. Will or will not the Senate.
Immediately on it's receipt, ratify the
Peace Treaty, which not only includes
but is actually built upon the League
of Nations? This sounds like a
simple question, but the progress
even the maintenance,-of our civil
ization depends upon the answer.
BY this time it must be evident to
every thinking person that the Cove
nant Of the League Of Nations can
not be torn out of the Peace Treaty;
and it must soon be realized, ever by
those whose eyes are temporarily
blinded by political antSgonisms. that
an attempt to amend the Covenant at
this juncture is fraught with danger,
since the condition of many countries,
as a result of hunger and of general
war upheaval, is so unstable that rev
!Olution may break out at almost any
moment if peace between the nations
is not at once established.
The making now of reservations Il
dangerous to the establishment Of thu
League, because if the United State,
either repudiates OF stipulates TO
Especial interpretations of certain arti
cles of the Covenant, other nations
will naturally wish to do the same
with the result that this great Magn;
Chafta may become devitalized an

Surely even though not perfect, tn
Covenant represents a wonderful ste
forward in the life of the world
Therefore let US make SUR that tn

high standing and Of unqueshoned
loyalty to the party are o%utspoken in
~denunciation Of the thing they are
trying to do. The st. Louis Globe
Democrat, a great and influential
newspaper of answering fidelity to
Republican principles, declares that
"a large proportion of the Republican
press favors the League, and there
are but few important Republican
newspapers that are uncompromisingly
against it" In support of this asser-
ton it r%eproduces upon its editorial
page in it's issue Of June %, i've col
umns of editorial expressions from
Republican newspapers of proml-
nence, all deploring the unwise n
dangerous course of the Senatorial
opponents of the League. Among
these newspapers are The Los
Angeles Times, The Portland Oregon
ian, one of the great papers OF the
Pacific coast; The Des Moines Reg
lister, a representative Republican
paper The Salt Lake Tribune, an
other sound Republican newspaper,
The Topeka Capital and the Globe

AMERICAN SOVEREIGNTY
AND MONR0E D0CTRgNE

The Monroe Doctrinse, as originally
announced, served as a shield, which
the United States held owe itself and
over weaker states on the American
continents as a protection against
European interference and European
encroachment. It was and is a
national policy which protects North
and South America and makes for
peace on these continents.
There is real danger nows however,
that the Monroe Doctrine will We
carried so far and with $50 high a
hand that the real value OF the policy
will be lost.
Senator Knox made the following
amazing statement in his recen1
speech in the Senate:-"Its (The
Monroe Doctrine) precise character,
the extent, method and time of It's
application, the means of compelling
its observance, all are matters of OUR
high and uncontrolled will and SOW
ereign p~rerogative. We, the United
States, cannot answer to any uue
else in respect to it. We use it when,
DIS, duU " IlO SALCAL We uSSu A.
There can be no limitation upon it,
except our requirements, our will, and
our force of arms. Whatever security
we may need within its purview, it
must give if we ask it."
That sounds like Trietschke. It is
an announcement of unlimited will,
backed by arms, to be exercised as
the United States alone determines
her own requirements to be. Such
an immoderate statement Of the Mon
roe Doctrine weakens and does not
strengthen it. 1t is an extreme
statement of the doctrine, calculated
to cause trouble and friction on the
American continents. The Doctrine
so stated is not unlike the doctrine
which Germany sought to apply to
Europe.
Senator Knox would refuse to sub
NIT to Cancellation any dispute grow
ing out Of the application of the
Monroe Doctrine, whether such dis
pute were between the Unitd States
and an American state or between
the United States and a non-AmeFi-
can state. On the American cOnti-
nent the arbitrary will Of the United
States backed by force is to prevail.
The other nations agree, in the Gov
enant of the League of Nations, to
submit to Cancellation all non-justici-
able disputes; that is, those which
grow out Of questions of policy. Is
the United States to demand that she
alone be relieved from such obliga-
ton and on the ground that, when
her interests are involved, her abso-
lutte will shall prevail? How does this
differ from the German position in
Europe?
The fact is that the Monroe Doc
trine now that it has been recognized
in the Covenant of the League Of Ma
ions is adequately protected.
1t is such announcements as that
of Senator Knox and not the wise
provision in the Covenant of the
League of Nations which threaten the
usefulness of the Monroe Doctrine.

TRYING TO KILL
LEAGUE OF NATIONS
Senators Are Resorting to the Old
Parliamentary Device Of Killing
by Amendment

The immediate aim of the Senator,
ial plotters against the League Cove
nant is plain to the view. They are
trying to kill the League of Nations.
The law assumes that men intend
the necessary consequences of their
W acts. II the action these Sena-
tors urge upon the Senate is taken,
it will necessarily destroy the League.
They do not even seek to conceal
their purpose. They are resorting
to the old parliamentary device of
killing by amendment. Mr.. Knox's
hostile resolution, which has gone to
its death, has been abandoned for a
qualifying resolution" It is intended.
that the Senate shall declare in this
resolution that it's ratification of the
Treaty of Peace, SO Tar as it applies
to the League Of Nations, shall be
without effect so far as the United
States is concerned, until the other.
nations signing the Treaty shall agree
to certain reservations, which are to
be substantially those recommended
BY Senator Root. The Washington
correspondent Of The Times asked
Senator Knox what would happen if
the allied nations decline to accept
these reservations. "The United
States in that event would be outside
the League of Nations" Mr.. Knox
5 replied, with a smile. Without the
: United States the League would be
a lame and impotent organization; in
ali probability it would fall to pieces,
Therefore, we may start from the
postulate that Senator Knox, Senator
Lodge, Senator Borah, Senator John
SON and their associates fully intend
the death of the League of Nations
and are taking measures to that end
But what is their Interior aim
