Isolation Ended.

Our isolation was ended twenty
years ago; and now fear Of US is end
ed also, our counsel and association
sought after and desired. There can
be no question OF our ceasing to be a
world power. The only question is
whether we can refuse the moral
leadership that is offered US, whether
we shall accept or reject the comb
dence Of the world.
The war and the Conference of
Peace now sitting in Paris seem to
me to have answered that question
Our participation in the war estab-
lished our position among the nations
and nothing but our own mistaken
action can alter ii. 1t was not an &C
cident or a matter of sudden choice
that we are no longer isolated and
devoted to a policy which has only
our own interest and advantage for
its object. 1t was our duty to go in.
il we were indeed the champions Of
liberty and OF right.
The Washington times., 1919-07-10
Nothing But Force.

They knew that no OLD pollCy meant
anything else but force. force-al-
ways force. And they knew that II
was intolerable. Every true heart in
the world, and every enlightened
judgment demanded that, at what
ever cost Of Independent action, every
government that took thought for its
people or for justice or for ordered
freedom should lend itself to a new
purpose and utterly destroy the old
order of international politics. States
men might see difficulties, but the
people could see none and could
brook no denial.
A war in which they had been
bled white to beat the terror that
lay concealed in every Balance of
Power must not end in a mere vic
tory of arms and a new balance.
The monster that had resorted to
arms must be put in chains that
could not be broken. The united
power OF free nations must put a
stop to aggression. and the world
must be given, peace. II there was
not the will or the intelligence to
accomplish that now. there must be
another and a final war and the
world must be swept clean Of every
power that could renew the terror.
The League of Nations was not
merely an instrument to adjust and
remedy old wrongs under a new
treaty OF peace; it was the only
hope for mankind. Again and again
had the demon of war been cast
out OF the house of the peoples and
the house swept clean by treaty
of peace; only to prepare a time
when he would enter in again with
spirits worse than himself The
house must now be given a tenant
who could hold it against all such.
Convenient. indeed Indispensable, as
statesmen found the newly planned
League of Nations to be for the
execution of. present plans Of peace

itself: the long-continued supervision
of the task of reparation which Ger
many was to undertake to complete
within the next generation might en-
tirsly break down; the reconsidera-
ton and revision Of administrative
arrangements and restrictions which
the treaty prescribed but which 1t
was recognized might not prove Of
lasting advantage or entirely fair IL
too long enforced would be imprac-
ticable

their armies had done. The central
empires had lived, in open violation Of
many of the very rights for which the
war had been fought, dominating
alien peoples over whom they had no
right to rule, enforcing, not obedience,
but veritable bondage, exploiting
those who were weak for the benefit
OF those who were masters and over
lords only by force of arms. There
could be no peace until the whole
order Of central Europe was set right

GOULD TO GIVE
.PEPCO RULING SOON

The long-expeeted decision on the
valuation OF the Potomac Electric
Power Company will be handed down
by Justice Gould OF the District SUI
preme Court in the near future. Il
II understood that the justice has the
matter almost entirely finished for an
nouncsment.
During the latter part Of 1917 .

The commfssion ordered the reduction
after having extensive hearings to
establish the value OF the eompany's
property, which, December 81, 1916,

The. Potomac Electric Company
claimed that the value Of its plant

Junction to restrain the commission
from enforcing the lower rates until
the question OF value had been settled
in the courts.

The Injunction was granted and the
court ordered the power company to

rates ordered BY the commission. 30

BORAHs STATEMENT.

Senator Borah charges that the
the league of nations, because they
want this country to underwrite the
bonds of other nations held in this
country. That this is a fact there can
be no doubt. The great banking house
of Morgan & Co. has sold many hun
dreds of millions in bonds for the
European nations in this country
aside from the British French issue of
five hundred millions floated before
this country entered the war.
Also banking houses of this coun-
try floated many millions of dollars
worth of German and Austrian bonds
and some hundreds of millions in Rus
sian bonds.
The British and French exchange
has dropped to so low a figure that
general alarm has been caused
throughout the financial centers. Ger
man marks are down from twenty five
cents to about two and a half cents
and the soviet government has repu-
dated the International debt of Rus
STA
With the treaty ratified and the
United states a member of the league
of nations, this country would become
one of the guarantors of the interna-
tional debts which grew out of the
war.
Senator Borah has only told what
has long been known in Washington
that the great financial interests Of
the country are trying TO have this
nation guarantee the debts of the
European nations.

STATUS OF THE TREATY.

President Wilson announces that he
will accept no compromise and that
the treaty must be ratified as it came
from the Paris conference or fail COM
pletely. He is willing to accept inter
pretations by the senate of what y
holds to be the American position, but
there must be no reservations.
The senate will not ratify the treaty
without reservations.
Thus, unless some sort of compro-
mise is achieved later, the treaty, with
the league of nations as the bone oil
contention, will be the chief issue in
the presidential campaign.
While other reservations were made,
including rejection of the Shantung
provision, the real center of the con-
troversy lies in Article 10. which reads
as follows:
THE members of the league under
take to respect and preserve as against
external aggression the territorial IN
tegrity and existing political lndepenu-
ence of all members of the league. IN
case of any such aggression or IN case
of any threat or danger OF Such az
gression the council shall advise upon
the means by which this obligation
shall be fulfilled"
The president says Article 10 does
not commit the United states to par
tieipation in war for the protection Of
some other country, but a majority Of
the senators hold that ii does, so fifty
four out of ninety-five senators adopt
ed the following reservation.
THE United States assumes no obli-
CATION to preserve the territorial m
tegrity or political independence Oh
any other country or to interfere IN
controversies between nations 49,
whether members of the league or not
under the provisions of article \,
or to employ the military or naval
forces of the United States under any
article of the treaty for any purpose,
unless in any particular case the con
gress, which, under the constitution,
has the sole power to declare war or
authorize the employment of the MILL
tary or naval forces of the United
States shall by act or joint resolution.
so provide
The president rejects the reserva-
ton.
Before adoption of the treaty as 1t
now stands, it should so to the peo-
pie. There should be vigorous cam
paign of education, just as there was
on the silver question of 1890, and IT.,
after understanding it, the people vote
for the ratification of the treaty, by
the election of a president and sena-
tors committed TO it. it will be rati-
fled. This is government by the peo-
pie.
The adoption of the treaty would
constitute such grave departure from
our former policies of government
that only a vote of the people could
possibly justify it.
