No Hasty Approval of Treaty

THE American people have large faith in
the wisdom and foresight OF President
Wilson. but until they have studied the pro-
posa. from every angle and convinced them
selves that the departure from time honored
American precedent will not lead to entangle-
ments in European affairs beyond their right
full assumption of obligations or the new
world order, they will hesitate to approve the
agreement entered into by the President, in
which the United States binds itself to go
Immediately to the aid Of France If any I'M
provoked act Of aggression is made against
the latter by Germany.
This agreement unquestionaby amounts to
treaty of alliance with a European nation,
designed, it is true, in its undertakings to
prevent war upon favorte nation by an
other in whom we repose no trust and
therefore, we would be under the constant
necessity OF maintaining an attitude of sus-
picion, directly provocative to inveterate
antipathy, but nevertheless it would bind the
United States under solemn pledge to go to
the aid Of France at the latter's call for help
under treaty stpulations susceptible OF wide
Interpretation under stress of public excite
ment
When 1T is reflected that the attitude Of
france is one of habitual hatred for Ger
many, II is not difficult TO foresee that slight
causes OF umbrage may be seized upon by the
former to justify resort TO hostilities, and
the United States be forced into a war against
Its own better judgment as to its interests
Especially does fulfllment of the terms of
the hard treaty which Germany was made to
sign afford abundant room for frequent con-
troversies in which have no Immediate

Moreover, 1t is a treaty within treaty"

utlerances stand opposed, and is, implicitly
confession that the league OF nations falls
