Americans, Not the False Pledge
Gfvers, VIII Prevail.

When MI. WILSON gave his assent
to those sections Of the proposed cove
nant of a league of nations which
would bind the United States to send
It's soldiers and sailors to the Balkan
States, or to equatorial Africa, or to
the interior of Asia, or to any other
spot on the surface Of the globe where
the supersovereignty assigned them to
fight. he must have known that he was
entering into an engagement which
neither he nor any other man could
possibly fulfil. The adherents Of his
project in this country recognized this
Immediately, and sought to get around
an awkward difficulty by asserting
that final action in declaring war
would rest with the Congress under
the Constitution, and that conse-
quently nobody need worry about the
danger Of our getting into strange
quarrels or sacrificing American lives
in alien brawls.
Abhorrent as this conclusion Is to
those who would not make a promise
without full Intention of keeping it, it
has the merit Of frankness. Neither
Mr.. WILSON nor anybody else a tell
what the Congress in session in 1925,
or 1880. or in any other year in the
future, will do, and no treaty. even
though 1t be negotiated by a precedent
smashing President acting as his own
plenipotentiary, can override the Con-
stitution of the United States. Yet
the acquiescence OF Mr.. WILSON'S sup
porters in this pledge and their stimuli
taneous declaration that At needn't be
kept is no more than a typical exam
pie of the curious doctrine Of the
volatility of pledges Of which Mr..
WILSON has just given the country 80
conspicuous an example.
We refer, of course, to President
WILSON'S pledge to the Senate on
July 9 to put at its disposal or at the
disposal of the Committee on Foreign
Relations all the information he had
concerning the proposed treaty OF
peace with Germany, and his subse-
quent refusal to fulfil that pledge.
We have no means of knowing wheth-
er Mr.. WILSON'S determination mo- to
fulfil the pledge Of July 9 was formed
before it was uttered or was formed
subsequent to its %utterance; the con-
spicuous and important fact is that
when he was called on for the infor,
nation he Of his own free will and
on his own initiative had promised
the Senate he refused to comply with
its terms.
With so conspicuous an idealistiC
exemplar of the quality Of concrete
promises. to guide them 1t Is not sur
prising that Mr.. WILSON'S supporters
should regard entrance into a solemn
engagement with no purpose of full.
filing its terms as a light and happy
expedient. But that is not the no.
ton the American people have OF
such a transaction, and in treating the
covenant If the League Of Nations the
American people and not Mr.. WILSON'S
band Of internationalists are going tc
prevail.

PARIS, Aug. 18.-John Foster Dulles,
who has peer an inactive American
member Of the Preparations Commission
since Congress refused to approve his
emporary appointment. has resigned and
is leaving for the United States In two
weeks. This will deprive the commits
sion of the services of the only financial
and economic expert left and creates a
situation that imperils American busi-
ness interests.
Personal and business interests are
given as. the reason for Dulles's retire.
ment, but the real aus Is the
factory status in which he was placed
by the attitude Of Congress. He has
been acting as the only American on
many economic commission since he
assumed the duties OF Lamont Baruch

President Wilson.

Left without Protection.

bnIlTely dtlut lTOm IL PiObfch
whether the Senate had the power be-
fore ratifying the treaty to approve such
an appointment, there is the question OF
protecting American business interests
here and the ten billion dollar invest
ment of the United States In various
European nations which are involved In
the discussion of tremendous economic
and trade questions which are going on
every day.
America is left virtually without a
voice In these meetings, yet the discus
sions go to the very bottom of the fu-
ture business of the world. This has
been emphasized already by what Is oc-
curing daily in the Preparations Com
mission and concretely in the struggle
which has developed over the great Ger
man dye industry. as affected by Annex
VI. of the reparations agreement.
The decision of this question may al
feet vitality the new American dye manu-
features, yet the United States Is with
out q single expert here, and p by
Dulles for information as to what stand
he should take have gone unanswered.
Under the terms of the peace treaty the
Allies have an option on so per cent. Of
the entire German stock of dyes, and
the Germans have proposed that an In
ventory be made on August Id, the
Allies to say then how much they want
and to fix the price.
To protect their new dye industry the
British are fighting TO postpone the ex-
.ercise of the option, while the French
and Italians want dyes Immediately, see
ing the attempt by England to control
the market. The members almost came
to blows recently when the British de-
manded the impounding Of 500 tons OF
d~yestuffs in the occupied regions, which
the Belgians and French wished.

Acts ms Arbitrator.

Dulles finally acted unoflcially as ar
bitrator and forced the release OF the
dyes for the Belgians and the French.
The Germans say that II the British sue
coed In holding up the privilege the in
dustry will never know where It stands.
The United States has n right to put in
its claim under the option and to assist
in fixing the price under Annex 6, yet
Dulles has been left without advice and
without experts to guide him while
France, Great Britain and Italy are ar
ranging things to suit themselves.
The situation in regard to dyes applies
also to coal, chemicals and other matters
at the foundation of Americas future
business, but the American Government
and business interests are paying less
attention, II would seem, to the 10000
900. 900 investment In Europe, which
all this affects. than the average country
banker. This situation causes amaZement
here.
The Reparation Commission already
has agreed with the Germans that they
shall deliver 20. 200. 900 tons of coal the
first year, instead of the 8S. 200. 900 o
the treaty requires. although the Ger
mans had commended that they were
unable to furnish more than 5000. 900
tons. As the treaty gives France priority
up to 5000, 900 tons she will get all the
first German coal, but she has just
signed an agreement with Italy to give
her $50, 900 tons of coal monthly of this
amount. This is a mere drop in the
bucket for Italy.
The United States must furnish all the
coal for Holland. Germany contending
that france is getting all of her export
able supply. In this matter also the
United States is founderins without ex-
