Mr.. Nights Communication.

The journal has always been glad
to publish the communications OF our
friend and fellow citizen, Leroy L.
Hight. We have found that he con-
and that he expresses and defends
his views with ability.
But with the general tenor Of his
Communication published in our
Editors Letter Box of yesterday We
are unable to agree. The substance
of his argument seems to be that be-
cause our senators and Kepresen-
tatives in Washington presumably
know more about the League and
Covenant than we Go at home. there
fore we should express no views upon
the subject but stand pat and sit
quiet and let George do it.
Mr.. Hight says:
There is little sense in bombardins
our senator's and representatives with
criticism and advice upon matters of
which We know SO little. All We Shout
ization that we rely upon them to do
that which from their better point OF OBJ
servation they believe to be for the best
interest of all Of us. When the time is
right, they. with the greater knowledge
gained in the struggle. will advise us.
and II they give advice that calls for
action, We If We are wise. will follow
With this We cannot agree. This
Is In effect taking the position that
our Senators and Representative are
greater and wiser than any or all Of
their constituents. that they are the
masters in matters of legislation
and not the servants, and that con-
sequently the opinion of the people
whom they represent is a matter of
indifference to them.
To US 1t seems that it is not only
the right but the duty Of every self :.
respecting newspaper to express its
opinion for whatever it may be worth
on matters Of Congressional legisla-
ton and particularly upon matters
OF such transcendent importance as
the Treaty and League Covenant.
A policy which would seek to throttle
either the public press or the in
.dividual constituents Of our Senators
and Representatives in Congress and
prevent their views reaching and be-
Ing considered by the latter. is not
one to which we can give our en-
dorsement.
Nor do we believe that our delega-
ton in Congress would approve such
a policy. They both seek and well
come honest criticism and advice.

The Shantuns Amendment.

The part of the peace treaty that
relates to Shantung is felt by mos.
Americans to be piece of Infamous
diplomacy and a cowardly surrender
of principles to expediency. Those
who try to condone it call it the best
way of getting out of a hard place.
No voice can be raised to defend it
or to urge the United States to be a
party to it without registering a
definite protest requiring Japan to
erstore the province to China as a
pair of her original territory.
Japan has the upper hand because
she has the province to start off with.
She also has the text of the peace
treaty awarding to her the German
rights to the natural resources and
economic improvements Of the prov
ince. She has promised to give up
sovereignty over Shantung at some
time, not specified, but she is not to
give up control Of the railroad and
port and resources. which are the
things worth having.
To believe Japan should relinquish
her hold on Chino. is one thing; to
make her actually give up Shantung
is another. How can it be done?
The Lodge amendment to the
treaty which would change the word
ing of sections 1856. 157 and 1873 to
read China" for Japan" would
send the treaty back to conference.
In the conference it Is hardly posi-
BILE that the amendment would be
passed for Great Britain and France
would still stand by the secret
treaties they. made with Japan.
Japan herself would not be found
voting for the amendment. There is
in this country a we'll defined feel
ing of opposition to amendments of
any kind. as they would prolong the
conference proceedings and defer
ratification of the treaty.
The United States will not alone
try to wrest Shantung from Japan.
Such a course would mean war and
there is no sentiment for war in
either country.
A reservation can be framed by
which the United States definitely
asserts that she will urge the League
of Nations to hold Japan to the
restoration Of the Chinese territory
if the League can do anything it can
enforce provisions of the peace
treaty among the Allies. The com
bined force Of the members of the
League will prove surer way OF
securing justice for China than any
individual statement that may be
! made by the United States. We be-
lieve in the principle of the League
! Of Nations. as a concert of powers
| to govern themselves according to
justice and equity. Believing that
we further believe that Shantung
should be made a test case. If the
League proves inadequate it can be
