must shoulder the responsibility. The
peace will be President Wilson'S peace,
no matter how inconsistent with tho
fourteen points, just as the last treaty
of Paris was Bismarck's peace.
The Rhenish Republic, independence
of Austria, many points on the bound
ary of Holland. and the involved
balance of power theory of great
Poland are inconsistent with the gen.
eral American Interpretation of the
Presidents fourteen points.
These tentative agreements were ar
rived at during Mr.. Wilson's absence.
All apparently had the approval Of
Colonel House. who Is supposed 10
reflect President Wilson's views. The
probability is that they will stand. for
President wilson's interest centers ex-
clusively on the league of, nations.
Colonel Houses Error
The mistake Colonel House made, in
his zeal for q quick peace. was in over
looking the extent to which he
jeopardized the league of nations. The
prompt agreement reached with the
TellCn anu " dlltttl lIic
league plan to the preliminary treaty
seems to Indicate that u bargain has
been made by which President Wilson
gets what he wants, and these nations
obtain what they desire, including the
ma p-malIing, which Colonel House,
speaking for Wilson, apparently ap-
proved.
The weakness of the political op-
position to Wilson in America, as seen
here. is that the Republicans have no
constructive policy. This is illustrated
in the correspondence between Henry
White and Senator Lodge. When the
Republican Senators were pledged to
vote against the league covenant in
the present form, White cabled to
Lodge, asking him to state the exact
changes desired in the covenant.
Lodge Sent No Plan
( Senator Lodge delayed his answer
and finally wired that he Senators
were scattered and that he did not foeI
competenFto state their views, nor did
! he vouchsafe his own idea of the
changes desirable in the covenant
/ 1t is likely that the covenant viii
/ be thoroughly overhauied and per
! fected. President Wilson's usua
method Is to refuse emphatically tc
consider the objection of his opponents
and then take steps to render s"ct
! objections ineffective. 1t Is probable
that he will DO so in this instance

gested, the most serious being the
proposal by Switzerland that the right
of any nation to remain neutral in the
event of war breaking out among
the members of the league be recog-
nized in the covenant. This PROPOSE
ton amounts to a fundamental dis.
agreement with the provision of the
league that all nations must support
the decisions of the league in case
of disputes.
Moreover, II neutrals We're recog.
nized. then Wilson's old issue of the
freedom of the seas would be revived.
