WHO is RESPONSIBLE FOR THE
DElAY7
(Times, Kansas City,.


The President appealed to the coun-
try last autumn for an Endorsement in
the election SO that he might know
he had the ration behind him in the
peace conference. The Endorsement
was emphatically refused. But he pro-
ceeded as If he had obtained it.
He went abroad to conduct the ne
gotiations personally. He refused to
confer with the majority in congress
representing the mandate of the peo-
pie. He Unanswered and traded to get
his league of nations. When he came
home and found the Senate opposed
to what he had done he threatened to
go back and so Intervene the league
with the peace treaty that they could
not be separated. Now he returns
and says he has carried out his threat
and asks the American people what
they are going to do about it.
In his Des Moines speech he virtu-
ally presented Bolshevism as the al
Tentative to speedy ratification of the
treaty. including the league covenant.
This Is precisely the same thing
congress sometimes attempts when it
attaches a piece of legislation as
rider to an appropriation bill. APP
prove this legislation, it says to the
chief executive, or you will have no
money to run the government. APP
prove the league, the President now
says to the senate or you shall not
nave peace with Germany.
But Presidents usually refuse to be
coereed by the rider device. They veto
such bills knowing that congress is
bound to make the appropriations nee
essary to run the government So every
thinking person knows 1t is perfectly
possible to have peace with Germany
without changing the whole policy of
our Nation and adopting the league

dent

date against him last fall. He says
he knows the heart of the people bet
ter than the leagues critics. He said
the same thing just before the Novem-
Der election. He was mistaken there.
He is mistaken now.

sort of peace the American people de-
sire. The delay is the direct result of
the President exceeding his instruc-
lions.
The peace terms with Germany are
the main thing with the allies as we'll
as with the United States. There is
very general APPROVAL of those terms
in this country. Peace can be had in
accordance with them as soon as the
President Is willing.

1t Is to be hoped that the President
will put an end to bilingsgate meth
DDS and turn his attention to the task
of frankly discussing the provisions
of the treaty over which controversy
has arisen. The American people want
information, not vituperation; and as
they are bearing the expense Of this
Presidential swing around the circle 1t
does seem that they are entitled to it.

Is It Immaculate?

I
and the league of nations who
u thought one or both were immaculate
and neither needs amendment nor revision,
but should be accepted in toto and without
reservation, must have been considerably
jolted when the senate foreign relations
committee made it's report to the senate a
few days ago. That committee finds much
in the documents needing careful overhaul
ing. Senator Lodge seems to have accom-
plished monumental task in pointing out
defects.
It matters not whether the treaty and
covenant are amended or both accepted
with reservation, insofar as consideration
of the criticism of this committee is con
cerned. It's comment is worth the closest
study. Very likely both will be approved
eventually with reservations for there ap
pears to be little else the United States
can do. Nevertheless even if this is ulti-
lnately done, though it may be unsatisfac-
tory, we can at least give the committees
findings close study.
The foreign relations committee would
strike out the famous article X in its en-
tirety. By doing so it claims it simply
eliminates the obligation the United States
is under to go to war except by act of con-
gress. 1t makes clear by an amendment
to the covenant that the United States will
interpret the Monroe doctrine as it secs
fit, and not the league.
So much for the reservations. As to the
amendments to the treaty itself they are
vital to our honor and our interests They
demand equal voting power with Great
Britain in the assembly of the league. If
any dispute this right, let him make known
his reason.
Second, The committee gives back to
China what was hers before Germany stole
it. IfUapan had any title to Shantung
why does she acknowledge an intention to
surrender it to China? And if she has no
title to it why has she so persistently in
sisted upon the cession Of this territory as
sine qua non of entering the league?
A group of amendments eliminates the
United States from representation on COM
missions deciding matters in which we have
no concern. The less we mix up in the
internal politics of Europe the better it
will be for our peace of mind and our ma
tional welfare, the committee claims.
We can sum up the conclusions of the
committee no better than it has done itself
when it declared that these reservations
and amendments are submitted ''to pre-
serve American independence and Ameri-
Can sovereignty and thereby best serve the
welfare of mankind

Two stone troughs sit at the main
entrance of the White House, They
look somewhat like watering troughs
Tor horses although very fancy ones,
of course.
Now a small party of persons, men
and women, were being conducted
through the rooms of the executive
mansion that are on display during the
absence of the president. The party
was standing on the portico about to
enter the building. when up came re-
turned soldier who had business at the
White House.
When he saw the party he decided
that he, too, would like to sec" the
White House, and asked the official in
charge if he might go along. The
request was speedily granted, and the
party turned to enter.
The soldier saw the stone trough on
the right, which resembled to his way
of thinking, a sarcophagus, one of the
marked:
What do you keep in that?"
The official explained that the
troughs are used to place large flower
pots in.
oh" laughed the soldier, Il thought
you might keep mummies in them"
One dignified woman in the party
surveyed the stone receptacles
thoughtfully. meditating long.
Yes" she said, finally, ''it does look
like an esophagus."
