 ''2. Switzerland highly approvs of the creation of a league of nations for preserving peace, and expects from it a complete reform of international relations.

In ternational conflicts must, as far as their character allows, be solved either by arbitration tribunals formed by the free conent of the parties, or else by permanent international court of fering every guarantee of political in dependence.

factions would respect, but this the
Paris conference is not able to COM
mand Mr. Simonds is right in say
ing there must be either a concert
Iof powers enjoying the unqualified
moral support of all, each ready to
accept its decisions even when con-
trary to a nations selfish interests,
or a superstate with an adequate
police force. At present we have
neither. Mr.. Simonds finds the
whole conception of the League of
Nations breaking down in Europe
in the face of the rivalries of small
nations, and expresses the fear that
before the Washington battle is over
the league will be as dead as the
Holy Alliance of unblessed memory"
Both extreme positions on the
League of Nations will have to give
way before the demand that the
country be put speedily on a peace
basis. Louis Seibold, one of the
most trustworthy correspondents of
the New York World, has made a
thorough investigation of sentiment
in Pittsburgh and Buffalo and finds
the people have completed their
study of the League of Nations
and are now interested chiefly in
the high cost of living and indus
trial reconstruction problems. The
President has declared he will ac-
cept no reservations to any portion
of the treaty. Extreme opponents
to the treaty have demanded amend
ments or outright rejection. Signs
point to willingness on the part
of the latter class to consider in
terpretations, Qualifications, reserva-
tons, call it what you will, that will
safeguard the interests of the Unit
ed States without actually amend
ing the treaty. Such prominent
league advocates as Oscar S. Strauss,
Talcott Williams and President Low
ell have now reached this position.
Names of senators may not be men
toned in this connection as yet, but
when sufficient have agreed TO rati-
fcation on this basis the President
will be informed and will in all
probability yield to the situation.
The latest speech of Senator Lodge,
which was one of his best, is in
harmony with such a program. He
argued for definite protection Of
American Interests All the reserVa-
tions he advocated may be made
without endangering the League of
Nations Secretary Lansing admit
ted that under Article X we would
be under moral obligation to sup
port the DEGREES of the league with
military forces. BY the Constitution
that power rests solely with Con-
gress With great clearness Senator
Lodge pointed out that he made no
distinction between legal and moral
obligation in a treaty, and that ulti-
mately treaties rest upon moral OBJ
legations. A reservation upon Article
X would square all moral obliga-
tons with the Constitution and harm
no one.

THE SHANTUNG AFFAIR.

America was not treated frankly
and fairly by Britain and France
in the matter of their secret pacts
with Japan, declares Charlton Bates
Strayer, in an article which appeared
in recent issue of Leslie's Weekly.
This is not a trivial affair, he says,
for it was these secret pacts which
forced the Shantung settlement
the black spot on the treaty Of
peace. 1t was generally understood
that the United States had been
kept in ignorance of these secret
pledges to Japan, but the testimony
of Secretary of State Lansing be-
fore the senate foreign relations
committee has officially established
that fact. Secretary Lansing testl-
fed that his first knowledge of these
treaties, made by Britain, France.
Italy, and Russia with Japan, came
TO him early in February of this
year. Yet Mr.. Balfour had de-
clared, in response to question in
the house of commons, that "Presi-
dent Wilson is being kept fully in
formed by the Allies" concerning
agreements made among themselves
When former Premier Viviani of
France and former Foreign Minis
ter Balfour of Great Britain visited
us Just after we went into the war,
neither, according to Mr.. Lansing,
made any mention of secret agree
ments with Japan. Secretary Lam
sing did know there was an under
standing between Britain and Japan
regarding the Pacific Islands taken
from Germany. the equator to be
the dividing line in the disposition
of the islands between the two pow
ers. He learned this from Spring
Rice. then British ambassador here,
in October, 1915, six months before
We declared war. Ii September.
1917, Viscount Ishii confirmed this
understanding about the islands, but
at the same time declared that ia
pan intended to return Kiao -Chau 70
China. In reply to a question by
Senator Borah, Secretary Lansing
admitted that when the converse
tions began leading to the Lansing
Ishii agreement, Viscount Ishii, eth
er Intentionally or otherwise, con-
secret treaties in regard to Shan
tung. The more one hears about
the Shantung mess, the less one
likes it. President Wilson yielded
to the settlement in order to keep
Japan at the conference and to save
the League of Nations. but neither
Japan nor our European allies
treated US fairly in concealing from
US until the peace conference was
fairly launched the secret treaties
upon which the settlement was pred
icated.
Japan can't obscure the wrong
done China in the peace treaty by
crying out that only narrow par
tisanship opposes it. The disposition
of Shantung outrages the sense of
justice among men everywhere and
the japanese press is much mis-
taken in supposing that Republican
senators are using it simply for par
tisan attack upon President Wilson.
Mr.. Wilson was opposed to Japan's
demands, but in the face of Japan's
insistence upon the secret pacts, he
agreed to the treaty settlement as
the best compromise obtainable. The
majority in the senate are not per
suaded that this is a question that
can be compromised. Some are ask
The Nenana daily news. (Nenana, Alaska) 1918-1921, 1919-10-16

ing why the President did not take
as firm a stand upon Shantung as
he did upon Fiume We wish he
had. The statement of Viscount
Uchida, minister for foreign affairs,
and the comment of the President
upon it have not greatly clarified
the situation. Uchida disclaims any
intention on the part OF Japan to
retain any rights which affect the
territorial sovereignty of China, and
declares that Japan, abiding faith
fully by the pledge which she gave
to China in 1915, is quite willing to
restore to China the whole territory
in question" President Wilson
praises Uchida's frank statement, :"
but denies that Japan's promise to
restore Shantung was in any sense
dependent upon the agreement Of
1915. Japan's boast is that she al
ways keeps her agreements, but
with the example of Korea before
them and the record of coercion
upon China, the Chinese put little
faith in Uchida's promises. At the
beginning of the Russo-Japanese
war, Korea permitted Japan to &C.
cupy certain strategic points in
Korea, Japan agreeing to definitely
guarantee the independence and ter
ritorial rights of the Korean en-
pire. By successive steps Japan
has deprived Korea of both. The
Chinese feel that instead of getting
out of Shantung, the ultimate pur-
pose of Japan is to control all of
China. Actual withdrawal from
Shantung would be the best evil
dence of sincerity on the part of
Japan.
Undoubtedly the peace conference,
with the peace treaty hanging fire,
is growing weaker. In numerous in
stances its decisions have been de-
fed. One of the most pointed cases
is that of one of the Allies-Ru-
mania-which gives defiance to the
Paris conference by failing to an
swer its notes, while its victorious
army takes possession of the Hun
garian capital. 1t would hardly be
correct to say that this is a failure
Of the League of Nations, since the
league, as such, has not really be-
gun to function. Whether or not
there will be League of Nations
worthy the name depends largely
upon the action, still deferred, of
the United States senate. The i'm
mediate trouble seems to be that
the peace conference issues DEGREES,
but possesses no power to compel
their fulfillment. Germany, the
chief offender, was compelled to sign
the treaty because of the steadily
increasing economic blockade, and
because the Allies and America had
military forces all ready to invade
Germany if she failed to sign. There
lis no such power available behind
the other DEGREES of the conference.
This lack, combined with uncertainty
as to the League of Nations, has
robbed the conference of much of
its authority.
Frank H. Simonds, an excellent
authority, fears another world crisis
as the result of the national and
racial rivalries of the small Europe
an nations. He points out that while
the new frontiers have been drawn
with proper regard to race and ge-
ography, many decisions have been
disputed, and that usually the "Paris
conference has made enemies of
both contestants without arriving at
any settlement whatever" Force
is the one authority these warning
