Jim Ham Misrepresents George
Washington.

Senator JAMES HAMILTON LEWIS Of
Illinois, who wrote and introduced
last fall resolution approving in ad-
vance whatever It might please Presl-
dent WILSON to do in the manage
ment of our foreign affairs, attempted
In a speech In the Senate on Monday
to answer the addresses delivered in
opposition to the proposed League Of
Nations by Senator BoRAH and Sena-
tor REED. He made a poor fist OF the
Job, as may be seen from the fact that
he found 1t necessary for his purposes
to misrepreeent the advice against
entangling alliances given to his coun-
trymen by GEORGE WASHINGTON. Said
Senator LEWIS:
'Tt is said that the document 1.-THE pro-
posed constitution of the League of Ma
tions1 violates our policy against al
liances with foreign Governments as
opposed by WASHINGTON. answer that
the document prevents what WASHING.
TON opposed-partial alliances by Amer
lea with any foreign country. even were
her statesmen inclined"
Nowhere In the Farewell Address
can be found single paragraph, SEN
tence, phrase, locution or word about
partial alliances" In that profound
and solemn message WASHINGTON did
not once speak of partial alliances"
There is in it nothing to indicate that
he at any time while preparing 1t
gave thought to partial alliances"
What WASHINGTON wrote is easily &C
cessible to everybody; what WASHING
TON meant is easily comprehensive to
every human being who Is not lack
wit. His essential words we're:
at Is our true policy to steer clear of
permanent alliances WITH any portion Of
the foreign world.
We may safely trust 70 temporary
alliances for extraordinary emergencies. "
II Senator LEWIS did not know
what WASHINGTON wrote. which is in
! credible, he was guilty of impudence
in attempting to discuss WASHING,
TONS words; and IL he did know
what WASHINGTON wrote, and dellber-
ately misreprcsented It. he was guilty
OF something much graver. In either
case. Senator LEWIS displayed an es-
pecial unfitness TO discuss seriously a
/ question of supreme Importance to the
! present and future welfare Of America
! and every individual American.

ut will be noted that the $4,000 ex-
emption arising from the conversion into
the Fourth Liberty Loan cannot be taken
advantage Of IN making 1918 income
tax returns because on December 81.
1918, no conversion had taken place on
