diabolical perception which the keen
German mind frequently has for a
weak point.
None of the doughboys took any
stock in the idea that America had no
quarrel with the German people They
saw the Germans too close. They
know how they massacred defence
less non-combatants, how they dishon-
ored womanhood, how they broke all
pledges and fought dirty.
Mr.. Wilson's course at the time was
considered politically skillful. 1t may
hastened the downfall of the German
government. But it raised false hopes
in the German people. 1t has given
them the idea that the American pres
ident tricked them by asserting friend
ship for them and then double crossed
them. Mr. Wilson no doubt meant
well. With hts extreme democratic
notions he had the idea that people
would change their nature if they
changed their political views. 1t was
an unsound idea, and it is now aug

AN uNwIsE COURSE

Many people thought during the war
that president Wilson had been un-
wise in the methods he took to appeal
to the German people. He kept en-
phasizing the idea that this govern
ment had no quarrel with the German
people. He went out of his way to
deny hostility to the Germans and to
lay their wickedness upon the heads
of their rulers.
The present German government is
recalling these words of President
Wilson. 'If as you said," they say
in substance, "all the crimes of the
war were committed by our govern
ment and not by our people, and if as
you said America has no quarrel with
the German people, why impose severe
terms on us while we have of our own
accord overthrown that government
and are trying to set up democratic
institutions and wish to live in peace
with the rest of the world?
1t is indeed clever reply with the
The Delta independent., 1919-06-20

upon two years notice but this is quail
flied by the statement that the with
drawal can only be made after that
country has fulfilled all obligations
of the pact and obligations of an in
ternational nature.
The question arises at once-who is
to decide when a nation has fulfilled
all it's obligations? The league will
decide of course. certainly not the
nation in question. What would be
the result? If the question must be
decided by the league, then suppose
that the league is of the opinion that
| it wishes the nation in question to re-
main a member? All that would be
necessary TO bring about the Sesired
result would be to declare that the
nation had not fulfilled the obligations
and stop it from withdrawing.
Argument trouble and even war
could lie the result from such a stu
alton. 1t could well be brought home
by conditions in the United States. If
the United States was of the opinion
that the Monroe Doctrine was not be-
ing protected or that certain domestic
rights We're being infringed she would
serve notice of her desire to withdraw.
But-the remaining members of the
league for various and sundry reasons
could easily use the 'joker'' and com
pei the United States to remain in
whether she wanted to or not Not a
pleasant situation to say the least.
This outstanding Joker is one proof
of the hasty and incompetent manner
in which the pact was drawn. But
the question is could pact covering
the nations of the earth in so-called
brotherly boundary be constructed
"jokers"? We do not think SO.
