The Radical Demand

The guarantee Of Article x is a
dangerous one, in the opinion of
'The New Republic" but no criti-
cism is felt to be of sufficient weight
to "justify rejection Of an expert
ment which bears on the face Of it
so large a promise of security" The
decisions in favor Of Japan had not
been reached when this article was
written, and it was urged that
Japan be rebuffed along with Italy:
"If as a result the league is reduced
to the British empire, France, the
United States and some of the smaller
powers, what it loses in numbers it
will gain in conviction. A league which
rests on the promise of its members
would achieve nothing except in ap
pearance by including states who treat
their promises lightly. Safer to know
what we can really count on than to
proceed on pretence. A limited league
if it must be that will at least be
ralying point for men. Its influence
will be greater than its jurisdiction"

Treaty as. League

"The Kansas City Star joins in
the demand for "most careful con-
sideration" and raises the additional
point that treaty and covenant
should be taken up separately:
$50 momentous a matter ought to be
separated from the peace treaty and
given its own consideration. There is
nothing in the peace settlement that
depends essentially on the league of
nations. No nation is going to accept
any assurance from the league in the
place Of the material guarantees which
experience has shown to be necessary
for national safety. To make the league
rider on the peace treaty is to put it
in a position to be railroaded through
under pressure Of the worlds need of
peace, without the discussion so i'm
partant a document ought to receive.
In particular, the United States must
understand just what obligations it
New-York tribune., 1919-05-04
The Democratic Vic,c

The same lack of enthusiasm was
expressed hero by the Democratic
Boston Globe also d strong adj
vocate Of the league:
"Unpalatabie as the amended cove
nant may be to its extreme opponents,
disappointing as ii may be to its more
sarguine adheronts, it IS apparent that
the instrument is so much better than
nothing that it should be Welcomed
The Democratic papers are unani-
nous, however, in supporting the re-
vised covenant. They consider that
every reasonable criticism has been
met by amendment and that only
the narrowest partisanship can now
oppose it. In the words of The
Cleveland Plain Dealer:
ON the whole, it is difficult TO see
how any one. unless it be Borah
hostile to the entire league idea, can
longer oppose the well matured league
o. nations proposal. 70 one frankly
surveying tho international situation
as created by the coming Of peace
the establishment OF new nations upon
the wreckage Of old ones, the running
OF new boundaries, the dismember-
ment of long established empires. the
humbling OF autocracy and the eleva-
ticn of democracy throughout the
world-the establishment of some such
machinery as this FOR preservation Of
order and relief from overburdening
militarism seems scarcely less than an
absolute necessity.
The league of nations As rerre-
sented by the amended covenant is be-
fore the people of America. Their
hearty Endorsement is to be expected"
On the Republican side there have
New-York tribune., 1919-05-04

Paris have decided every boundary
question and every question of ma
tional sovereignty satisfactorily for all
time %
The radical weeklies are dissatis-
fed and critical, but urge the rati-
flcation Of the covenant in the hope
that it will develop into a real
league. Says "The New York Ma
tom:
"Will there be counter league of
Soviet republics? VIII the two-thirds
of Europe now excluded from the
League continue to remain outside its
scope? Can it succeed with its present
undemocratic basis? Can it last longer
than the Holy Alliance? Time will
alone answer these questions. But even
those who have opposed the present
League as inadequate and misleading
ought to give it the benefit of the
doubt, and to hope that out of this
beginning there may develop a League
worthy of the name"
New-York tribune., 1919-05-04
Dragons Teeth

"The Adrfatic question is not one
that can ever be settled to the salts
faction Of all interested parties. Ey-
cry crossroads student of international
affairs knew this long before the
United States entered the war, and if
Mr.. Wilson had approached the solu
ton of this question with an apprecia
tlon of its insolubility his decision to-
day would be accepted at its worth.
"Mr. Wilson has sown dragons teeth
on both shores of the Adriatic. How
long it will take for the crop to mature
no man can say. Once Europe had the
Balkan question as an ever-present
nightmare. That still remains, and to
it has been added the Adriatic ques-
ton to trouble its dreams of peace"
Other Republican papers, The
New York Tribune and "The Wash
ington Post" for example, lay more
stress on the rupture Of friendship
with Italy that is threatened.
New-York tribune., 1919-05-04
On Party Lines

On Thursday came Japan's sweep
ing victory in China, apparently a
frank surrended of the Big Three to
prevent another break in the align
ment. Whether it points toward a
compromise with Italy or a firmer
attitude there has been no indica-
ton.
In this country the clash of opin-
ion has been sharp and the debate
intense. With a very few excep-
tions the press has divided strictly
along party lines. The Republican
papers have seen in the episode an
other illustration of President Will
sons "blundering." The Demo-
cratic papers have applauded his
statement as splendid and cour-
ageous utterance. The most elo-
quent expression Of this latter view
is in "The Springfield Republican"
(Ind. Dem.):
II imperialism uOeS not capture Lhe
peace conference and put the peace
settlements into imperialistic chains,
Woodrow Wilson will have been the
single force causing its defeat. I'm
perialists know their enemy; they can
recognize him in all languages.
"The fight at Paris against all the
massed elements of rapacious i'm
perialism has been forced upon the
President of the United States from
the beginning. No one else could have
undertaken such a struggle with the
slightest hope of even partial success.
Mr. Wilson's triumph will by no means
be complete, yet the degree of the fury
and the hatred he arouses in imperial
New-York tribune., 1919-05-04
No PartisansIiip

This agreement cannot be made at
Paris. 1t must be consummated in
America, and we now have before us
the responsibility of free and full dis
cussion and deliberate decision. If
upon study we consider it essential to
our security and we'll being to demand
further amendment Of the agreement
we should not fail to insist upon it nor
hesitate to refuse acceptance without
appropriate reservation
However, no one should feel that a
criticism previously urged or position
taken toward the first draft binds him
in the consideration of the final in
strument. The covenant deserves to
be considered sympathetically as
whole, to have its merits fairly bal
anced against such faults as it may
be found to retain, and finally, judg-
ment, while practical and reasonably
cautious, should be broad. If defects
are not deemed fatal. if on the whole
the covenant is free from provisions
perllous to the security and welfare
OF our country and offers substantial
hope Of producing better system Of
International relations, pride of opin-
ion and partisanship should not de-
feat it.
To the same effect is "The Indian
apolis News:
"The whole subject again is before
the American people, and, of course,
discussion is invited. We hope and be-
lieve that it viii be carried on without
prejudice and or non partisan basis.
No greater one ever has been presented
to the American people. What they
are to consider is a great international
constitution, the purpose Of which is 70
make war less likely and to make it
easier to uphold and enforce the pro.
visions of international law"
New-York tribune., 1919-05-04
NHE Italian controversy over
Fiume developed along ex-
IL pected lines during the


Il pected lines during the
week. Premier Orlando
won an overwhelming triumph in
the Italian legislature. The govern
ment Of Fiume declared the city
annexed to Italy. And the Big
Three at Paris went ahead making
peace and receiving the German
delegation quite as if one of the
great powers had not withdrawn
from the proceedings at the most
crucial of moments.
After various contradictory state
ments respecting the Presidents s
statement Of last week to the Ital-
ian people it seems likely that both
Lloyd George and Clemenceau ap-
proved it, but that neither sane
toned its issue at the moment when
it was made public. Some rap
prochement between Italy and
France has been rumored, but os-
tensibly, at any rate, the Big Three
have held together firmly on the
Italian issue. The dispatches from
Italy, while stressing the heated
state of public opinion Especially
hostile toward President Wilson) ,
have taken moderate tone, and
Premier Orlando's speeches have
left ample room for some compro-
mise to be effected.
New-York tribune., 1919-05-04
4 Small Issue

Republican opinion is divided as
to the precise merits of the case. but
is almost unit as to the laundering
handling of the situation and as to
the dangers involved. A small
minority of papers takes the Italian
side out and out, agreeing with SEN
ator Lodges declaration that Italv
should have Fiume. The bulk of
Republican opinion reserves judg-
ment on the merits of the case, con-
sldering it doubtful question from
every point of view, but deprecates
the raising of crisis and intense
national bitterness with an ally over
so small an issue. "The Seattle
Post-1ntelligencer" states the case
thus:
AS far as the rest of the world is
concerned and the general cause of in
ternational good will, it makes little
difference now what the decision of
the peace conference on the Adriatic
question is. At the most, the confer
cnce can issue but decree, to be en-
forced or not, as there is power or dis
position to enforce it. What the con-
ference cannot do is to satisfy the ex
pectations it aroused in the breasts
OF two antagonistic peoples. And
while the fault may lie with the con-
terence as whole, it was President
Wilson, in his swing around the Euro
pean circle, who is chiefly to blame.
New-York tribune., 1919-05-04
A Cunning Frazqd''

The painful out palpablc truth is
that scrutiny of Article XXI. in the
hight OF the criticisms leading up to
1T, compels the conclusion that, instead
OF being an amendment to the covenant
for the purpose of preserving the Mon
roe Doctrine as it stands and safe
guarding 1t from any adulteration at
the hands Of any, power-American or
non-Amercan-it is, in reality an
amendment to the doctrine itself, lin
lting its application and laying the
ground for other limitations at the
hands of other powers. Advertised as
an amendment to meet the. objections
Of defenders of The doctrine, the arti
Gle turns out upon examination to be a
concession to the critics of the doc
trine That is why Article XXI is, as
we believe, a cunning fraud which will
be resented by the people of the United
States and repudiated by their servants
in the Senate
Much the same stand is taken by
''Ihe New York Sun" and The New
York Tribune. The latter insists
that the Senate should ratify only
with specific reservations. "The
Provident Journal" centres it's dis
approval upon the failure to amend
Article Xxx.
This means that the map of the
world as it may exist at the conclusion
of peace a few weeks hence is to be
hereafter inviolate. The boundaries
of 1919 are to be permanent. The wis
dom Of the peace conference is to be

will be called on to assume under the
league to the end that it may be pre-
pared to make them good
On the other hand, a few Repub-
llcan papers have come out, as has
Senator Borah, in openly expressed
dissatisfaction with the revised COW
enant. Their criticism, like his, cen
tres about the Monroe Doctrine
clause and Article X. In this group
is "The Boston Transcript" which
says of the Monroe article:
New-York tribune., 1919-05-04

//"HE birthday of the league
w of nations may be said
M to be the gloomiest day
of it's life," cabled the
correspondent Of "The New York
Evening Post" in Paris. That was
the keynote of the reception almost
everywhere accorded the revised
covenant adopted unanimously on
Tuesday and made public the same
day.
The Italian crisis, the absence OF
one of the five great powers from
the scene as the German delegates
arrived. undoubtedly accounted for
some of the depression in Paris.
But the French press has been in
creasingly cynical toward the league
for some time; and opinion at large
has apparanently lost all Of its first
enthusiasm. Typical OF French
opinion was "L'Oeuvre," a radical
Socialist daily and strong cham
pion of President Wilson, which
said:
speaking generally, we are bound to
say the covenant of the league Of ma
tons causes certain amount of disap
pointment It's twenty-siX articles
constitute really the statutes of the
league OF governments to safeguard
their territorial sovereignty, and are
not the new charter of the law of ma
tions which had been hoped for

promise Hoped For

istic circles will be the measure of his
actual achievement.
Can MIR. Wilson afford to yield to
Imperialism much more ground? Not
II the world is to obtain anything but
mockery of Just and lasting
peace"
In all the Democratic comment
much stress is laid upon the 'ssecret
treaty" factor, and the President is
pictured as graphing with an Old
World monster. The Presidents
statement is regarded as conclusive
against Italy, which is described as
"grasping" and rapacious.

approved as the last word in this mat
ter. If Fiume goes to Italy or to Jugo-
Slavia, there is to be no future revision
of the verdict.
"Thc whole course of history has been
in opposition to this static view of ma
tions. Defenders of the league will
say that all that the covenant provides
for is the maintenance of existing ter
