Wilson Too Harsh
Asked to comment on President
Wilson's fling of contemplate quit
tiers" at members of the United
States senate who are not willing to
ratify the league of nations without
reservations Senator Lenroot said
the president was not aiding his
cause by the character of speeches he
is making and added that "denuncia-
ton is not argument"
He thinks the president is losing
himself in flights of oratory.'
1.-THE peace treaty was reported e
the senate Wednesday, said Sena-
tor Lenroot. land consideration of II
will begin next Monday. l think it
will be disposed of within two weeks
The reservations proposed by the
committee will be adopted by the SEN
ate except that the second reserva-
ton, or that relating to Article x will
be modified.
Free to Withdraw
"By these reservations the United
States will decline to assume any OBJ
legation to go to war for any purpose
or protect the territorial integrity of
any other country. 1t will be free to
withdraw on two years notice. 1t de-
clines to submit to the league any
domestic question, such as immigra-
ton tariff etc. and will decide for
itself what are domestic questions.
The fourth reservation makes clear
that the Monroe doctrine is left in
tact
"These reservations preserve the
liberty and independence of the Unit
ed States, which President Wilson is
trying to surrender, and at the same
time will permit us as member OF
the league of nations to take an inn
portant part in preserving the peace
Of all the world.
Will Arbitrate
We, with all other members, will
agree to arbitrate all disputes not in
volving domestic questions, or the
Monroe doctrine. We agree not to
go to war until three months after
the award of the arbitrators or the
council and if the decision is unanim-
Gus we agree to abide by it.
"In case any member goes to war
before submitting such dispute to
arbitration or the council, we agree
to employ the economic boycott
against that nation.
what we accomplish by the reser-
vations is to leave the people OF the
United States free to decide the ques-
ton of war, whenever it shall arise,
and relieve us from entering into
every quarrel that may arise IN
Europe In other words, with these
reservations, America will be pro-
tected and it's democracy preserved.
"The reservations will receive at
least fifty-one votes in the senate
and the number may be as high as
sixty. The vote upon ratification OF
the treaty with these reservations
will be about eighty to sixteen
Not Aiding His Cause
1.-THE president is not aiding his
cause by the character of speeches he
is making" continued Senator Len
,oo+ UDon,noia fion is not argument
1 am especially sorry that he is mis-
representing some of the salient parts
of the league of nations covenant. l
assume it is done unintentionally be-
cause he is speaking extempore, and
in his flights of oratory he forgets
for the time being what the language
Of the treaty really is.
