treaties founded on this basis have
established stability after each great
war for q shorter or longer time, but
never more thun generation.
America came forward with q new
idea. and we insisted upon its injec-
tion into this peace conference. We
claimed that 1t was possible to set
up such piece Of machinery with
such authority that the balance of
power could be abandoned as relic
Of the middle ages. We compelled an
entire construction OF this treaty and
every word aud line in II to bend to
this idea
"Outslde of the League Of Nations
the treaty itself has many deficiencies.
It represents compromises between
many men and between many selfish
interests, and these very compromises
and deficiencies are multiplied by the
many new nations that have entered
upon Its signature. and the very safety
Of the treaty itself lies in a court OF
appeal for the remedy of wrongs In
the treaty.
Benefits Of the League.
Zone thing is certain. There Is no
body Of human beings so wise that
treaty could be made that would not
develop injustice and prove to have
!"rn wrong In some particulars. AS
the covenant stands today there In Q
place at which redress can be found
and through which the goodwill Of
The world can be enforced. The very
machinery by which the treaty is to
he executed, and scores of points yet
to the League Of Nations as a method
Of securing more mature judgment In
less heated atmosphere. justifles the
creation Of the League.
"TO abandon the covenant now
means that the treaty itself will col

Americans to become involved In this

Watching Fight In Senate.
Paris, Aug. 29.-Members Of the
French chamber of deputies are watch
ing with great interest the controversy
going on in the United States senate
over the treaty, with unfavorable com
ments on the senate's procrastination.
One deputy, who heretofore h6s been
a staunch supporter of the league Of
nations, said: IF the league Of ma
tions is the cause, then say amputate
the league covenant from the treaty,
but for the sake Of everybody ratify
the treaty"
From present indications the French
have given up hope Of prompt action
by the American senate and are look
ing to Italy's ratification early in
September to put the treaty in force.
