American Suspicious

The situation. therefore, comes down
now to this: Far from advancing the
cause Of the league Of nations or the
interests Of Anglo American associa-
ton, British praise of the President and
Of the league Of nations to-day serves
to confirm American suspicious, which.
however unjust, are none the less wide
spread. In addition, such Endorsements
seem in many quarters little short of
British interference in American poll
tics on behalf Of one party against an
other, with the obvious purpose to per-
suade the people Of the United States to
adopt an agreement made without their
consent or without consulting them, and
involving very great risks without any
profit, material or moral.
What, then, Is the solution? 1t does
not seem to me there is any immediate
solution. After having been amended
by the addition Of many reservations,
the treaty may conceivably be ratified.
This ratification, however, will merely
mean formal assent to restoration
Of peace with Germany and to the mate
rial conditions imposed upon Germany
by the Treaty Of Versailles. The abso-
lutte rejection OF the idea Of cooperation
in world administration will stand, and
the chances Of future growth for the
league Of nations scheme seem to me, as
far as America Is concerned, very dark
The main trouble always lies in the
American conviction that Pres ident
Wilson tried to deliver the United
States, to commit it to a one-sided
scheme, against the interests of the
country in defiance Of the will of the
country, and that he did this mainly
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1919-12-28

own theories and vanities by our Euro
pean associates in the World War.
In my judgment, the very best basis
for future Anglo American association
will have to be natural cooperation
growing out of mutual interests, but in
no sense subject to any constraint or
written partnership. In any event, as
things now stand, the league of nations
covenant is dead so far as the United
States is concerned, whatever the for
NAL action by the Senate. And the
more British statesmen, public men
and foreign friends of the United
States try to revive it by praise and
by Endorsement the more general will
be American resentment

Peace Terms Approved

The reservations which the Senate
has proposed are more or less techni-
cal; some Of them are obviously absurd
but the reservation which majority
of the American people have adopted
IS the one that counts. That reserva-
ton specifically declares against any
American possibility in European
or Asiatic affairs growing out Of the
peace settlement, and provided for in
advance by the Treaty of Versailles
America does not disapprove Of the
peace terms. There is less criticism
in America than in Europe so far as
the sentence pronounced against Ger
many is concerned. The decision to
reject the treaty was not influenced by
the Sarre Valley detail or the Danzig
circumstances. No change that could
be made in the conditions so far as
Germany Is concerned would make the
treaty moro acceptable in America.
In sum, the treaty has failed, or
rather the league Of nations has been
rejected, on American issues, and be-
cause it was negotiated without refer
ence to American opinion or knowl-
edge. The situation will not be
changed hereafter by any formal ratifi-
cation accompanied by reservations. Il

Gold Brick" Securities

A deporable source Of waste is
the sale Of worthless or nearly
worthless securities. These securi-
ties are ordinarily disposed of
through false representations. MANY
innocent purchasers are defrauded
and thus acquire an aversion for
what they consider wall Street
methods.
Swlndlers grow fat at this bust
ness at the expense of the unwarv,
who are prone to put credence in
the promises of glowing printed
prospectuses. In many states So
called blue sky laws have been
passed to stop the vending of inita
ton securities. The Postoffice De
partment has also INTERVIEWED ener-
getlcally to check promotion frauds
by issuing search orders and for
bidding offending firms and corpora
tons the use of the mails.
Governor Smith recently appointed
a commission to take up the ques-
ton Of restrictive legislation in this
state. The majority of the committee
has made report which deprecates
the enactment of anything like a
blue sky law. The majority dis
approved Of state licensing Of ven
doris and Of imposition on them of
civil and criminal responsibility for
the misrepresentation in the promo
ton literature which they issue. 1t
recommended a strengthening of the
penal laws against fraudulent pro
motion and rigid inspection of
securities sales by the State Bank
ing Department and the Attorney
General. The majority summed up
its program in this sentence "What
is needed is flexible, virile fraud
hunting state machinery, driven not
by statute, but by human intelli-
gence and human activity"
The primary need is, of course.
spirited intervention by the state
authorities. But it is hardly going
too far to ask for little more pro-
lection in the form of legislation. A
minority of the committee-four
members out of twelve-recom-
mended the licensing of sellers and
an insistence on civil and criminal
liability for false statements.
Reputable houses have the habit
Of appending to bond prospectuses
the warning that they do not vouch
for the statements contained there
in, although these come from
presumably authoritative sources.
Goods bought in shops are generally
returnable because of discovered de-
fects or because they do not live up
to the sellers representations. This
is probably an impracticable stand
ard to set up for security transac-
tons, many Of which involve the
element of speculation. But why
shouldn't the principle of RESPONSE
bility for representations prevail in
the latter field as well as the
former?
Honest vendors have an interest
in protecting their own business by
helping to protect the public. IN
doubtediy the most practicable means
of freezing out the dishonest opera
tor would be a combination of the
bankers organizations, the stock
exchanges and the advertising as
sociations-all cooperating with the
Postoffice Department to stamp out
frauds. The fight can be made more
effectively from within than from
the outside. A determined voluntary
boycott of sharps and sharks might
be better than blue sky law.
Yet why not put the additional
force behind such a crusade of legal
liability for the misstatements made
by the emitters of questionable in
vest!nent literature?

Why the League Has Failed
From a Letter BY Frank II. Sinonds
to 1.-The London Times'

Such comment az reaches this side
Of the ocean would seem to indicate
that the real causes underlying the
defeat Of the Treaty Of Versailles in
the United States Senate have not been
accurately reported either In Great
Britain or France.
whatever partisan Influences have
contributed to this defeat, it is no less
attributable primarily to the fact that
it was negotiated with the President
and not with the people, OF the United
States, and has failed to enlist the
support or the approval of the people
To understand the situation one
must 60 back year and recall the fact
that al the November election in 1918
Mr.. Wilson appealed to the people to
elect a Democratic House Of Repre-
sentatives as an evidence of support
for his past policies and of confidence
in his future purposes. These future
purposes were accurately understood
to include a trip to Europe on behalf
of the league OF nations
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1919-12-28
4 Decisire Defeai OF Mr. Wilson

The result of that election WAS a
decisive defeat for the President.
Under similar circumstances in Great
Britain or France the responsible min
istry would have resigned, since the
control Of the House Of Representa-
the opposition.
Instead Of resigning Mr.. Wilson per
severed in his determination to 90 to
Europe. The country had no constitu-
tional remedy, because the American
Constitution had been drafted at a
time when sailing vessels were the
only means OF communication with
Europe, and no one conceived of the
possibility either of swift voyages or
Of cable communications. The as
sumption implicit in the Constitution
was that the President would stay in
the United States.
Since there was no constitutional pro-
hlbition, Mr.. Wilson went to Europe, but
he went against the will Of majority
Of the American people, who clearly in
dicated by their votes and by their feel
ngs an apprehension as to the purposes
Of Mr Wilson; nor was this apprehensio
lessened when at the outset of his Euro
pean visit Mr.. Wilson was welcomed on
all sides with unprecedented enthusiasm
as the duly authorized representative OF
mis- country
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1919-12-28

it is exceedingly doubtful II any success
in Europe, however great, would have
overcome American resentment.
AS the conference in Paris progressed,
and it became clear that Great Britain
was supporting Mr.. Wilson almost with
out reservation, popular suspicion be-
gan to concentrate upon British pur-
poses. The majority Of the American
people did not believe in Mr.. Wilson'S
policies, and they did not believe that
any considerable number Of Englishmen
believed in them. They saw in the Brit
ish championship Of Mr.. Wilson a DELHI
crate effort to make use Of Mr. Wilson's
alleged idealism to involve the United
States in world affairs. to the ultimate
profit Of Great Britain and the immedi-
ate peril of the United States.
In this situation the more enthusi-
astic British praises for the President
and for the league Of nations became
the more general was the American sus-
picion and opposition.
Had the President Of the United
States submitted to the American peo-
pie his program and his purposes before
he went to Europe 1t is conceivable
that popular support would have been
gained, and popular support thus gained
would have prevented partisan opposi-
ton later; but Mr.. Wilson neither be-
fore, during nor after the peace con-
ference adequately explained to the
American people what his purposes were,
and on their part the American people
felt both distrust and resentment wholly
outside of any partisan considerations
