important not only for the inter-
est of America, but for the peace
Of the world that such provisions
should be free from doubt and oc-
casion for dispute. If on the other
hand their view is wrong. and the
provisions already inserted may be
construed not to mean what the
resolution says, then the resolu-
ton certainly ought to be included
in the consent to the ratification.

the United States have no such in

our representatives have been en-

we had engaged in the war. and

consequences very similar to those
which Washington had in mind
when he advised US to keep out =

keep the quarrels of Europe out

wise policy that the United States
had attained position Of unity
and of disinterestedness which en-
aoies her to promote peace might

we can be Of inf1nit ely more value
to the peace of the world by keep
ing out of all the petty and selfish
Quarrels that arise than we can by
binding ourselves to take part in
them. Just so far as it is neces-
sary to modify this settled historic
American policy in order to put
into effect a practical plan for a
league of nations to preserve peace
we ought to go. and we ought not
to go one step farther. The step
proposed by article X is not neces-
sary for such a plan, and we ought
not to take 1t.

the whole world Including the
. United States.
Under these circumstances, what
ought to be done?
l am clear that if the covenant
has to be considered w TIL the peace
terms included. the Senate ought
to include in its resolution OF con-
sent to the ratification an express
sion Of such reservations and I'M
derstandings as will cure so far as
possible the defects which ] have
pointed out. You will probably be
unable to do anything now about
the system of arbitration and the
development of international law.
You can, however. put into the
resolution Of consent a reservation
refusing to agree to article x. and
think you should do so: you can
clarity the meaning of the with
drawal article and you can also in
clude in your resolution the pub
stance of the third amendment
which I proposed in my letter to
Mr.. Hays of March 20, relating to
purely American questions, and 1
think you should do so. These
clauses of the resolution shape
themselves in. my own mind as
follows:

ardent advocates for accepting the

League Is to Preserve Status Quo.

League Is Co preserve STATUS quo
First. 1t is not an essential or
even an appropriate part of the
provisions for league Of nations
to preserve peace. 1t is an indie
pendent and indefinite alliance,
which may involve the parties to
1t in war against powers which
have in every respect complied
with the provisions of the league
Of peace. 1t was not included in
Gen. Shuts plan, the provisions of
which have been reproduced al
most textually in the league cove
nant. 1t stands upon it's own foot
ing as an Independent alliance for
the preservation OF the status quo.
Second. If we agree to this arti-
Gle it is extremely probable that
we shall be unable to keep our
agreement. Making war nova
days depends upon the genuine
sympathy of the people of the
country at the time when the war
of the United States certainly will
not be willing, ten years or twenty
years hence. to send their young
men to distant parts of the world
to fight for causes in which they
may not believe or in which they
have little or no interest. If that
Is the attitude of the people when
wage war under Article X, no gen.
eral indefinite agreement made
years before will make them dis
posed to fight. And we shall be in
about the worst possible position
OF having made an agreement and
not keeping it.
Our people ought not to be forced
into such a position, and we ought
not to make any agreement that is
liable to force them into such
position.

Refers to Recent Controversies.

Refers to Recent Controversies.
The recent controversies over
the disposition Of Kiaochow and
of Fiume illustrate very we'll the
way in which territorial arrange
ments are likely to be made in
councils of the great powers con-
trolled by expediency. 1 would not
vote to bind our country to go into
a war in years to come in defense
of those arrangements.
If it is necessary for the security
of western Europe that we should
agree to go to the support. say. of
France II attacked, let us agree to
do that particular thing plainly, SO
that every man and woman in the
country will understand the honor
able obligation we are assuming
/ am in favor of that. But let us
not. wrap up such purpose in a
vague universal obligation, under
the impression that 1t really does
not mean anything likely to
happen.
Sees Danger Of Dissension.
Third. It is reported that Swift
zerland is much disturbed over the
invitation to join the league of ma
lions. and wishes to preserve her
neutrality, because her people are
partly French, partly German and
partly Italian. and she wishes to
keep out Of all Quarrels which may
involve those nationalities. In
this country the census of 1910
showed that 35 per cent (more
than one-third) of our people were
of foreign birth or the children of
foreign parents. We can call upon
these people to stand by America
in all American Quarrels. but how
can we control their sympathies
and their action IL America inter-
feres in foreign Quarrels and takes
sides in those Quarrels against the
countries to which they are at
tached by tradition and sentiment?
How can we prevent dissension
and hatred among our own inhab-
itants of foreign origin when this
country interferes on foreign
grounds between the races from
which they spring? How can we
prevent bitterness and disloyalty
toward our own government on
the part Of those against whose

Suggests Form of Statement.

The Senate of the United States

cation of the said treaty with the
following reservations and under
standings to be made a part of the
instrument of ratification, W.:
% In advising and conSenting to
the ratification of the said treaty,
the Senate reserves and excludes
from it's consent the tenth article
Of the covenant for the league of
nations, as to which the Senate re-
fuses its consent.
ca The Senate consents to the
ratification of the said treaty, re-
serving Article X aforesaid. with
the understanding that whenever
two years notice of withdrawal
from the league of nations shall
have been given as provided in
Article !, no claim. charge or find

said, with the understanding that
nothing therein contained shall be

can question. 1t is. But there are
two sides to it. On which side does
Mr.. Hays stand?"
ask what had been the view of the
republicans who signed the round
robin in regard to the treaty during
the last Congress- as to whether the
| HldlteT was a political issue.
"cowardly Not to Take Stand"
II can only assume to speak for
myself" replied Senator Borah.
There never has been an instant
when l would not have denounced my
party as cowardly not to take a stand
on this issue.
Il have been a republican all my
life" continued Senator Borah. Il
should like to remain a republican.
But l would trample any platform,
l would spit upon any platform that
was silent on this subject.
The republican party was born to
| maintain the Union under Lincoln. l
think the same fight is on again now.
Il venture now to prophesy there
will be third party to take a stand
| on this question If the republican
party does not. If the republicans
and democrats have passed under the
control of the international bankers,
there will be another party. The in
ternational bankers may monopolize
everything else in the United States,
but they can't monopolize the right to
organize new political party.
Hays cannot commit the republi-
can party to neutrality. AS a matter
of expediency, certain republicans do
not want the party to take a definite
stand against the league of nations,
because they know the democratic
party Is thoroughly organized and
that In every precinct in the United
States it is fighting for the league Of
nations.

Accord With Treaty Precedent.

This reservation and these ex-
pressions of understanding are in
accordance with long established
precedent in the making of trea-
ties. When included in the instru-
ment of ratification they will not
require a reopening of negotia-
tions, but If none of the other
signatories expressly objects to the
rataif1cation with such limitations
the treaty stands as limited be-
tween the United States and the
other powers.
If any doubt were entertained as
to the effect Of such action the
doubt could be readily dispelled
by calling upon the four other
principal powers represented in
the council to state whether they
do in fact object to the entrance
of the United States into the
league with the understanding
and reservations stated in the
resolution.
AS to these limiting clauses, I
