The Three Defects


President Wilson has departed
Egain from these shores without CIV
ing the American people any light on
the expected workings Of the pro-
posed constitution of the League Of
Nations
In his Boston speech he expressly
declined to talk about it. In his New
York speech the nearest he came to
any discussion of il was when he said
that the senators who criticized the
plan never felt the great pulse Of the
heart of the world"
Nearly everybody recognizes that
there must be new alliance which
may not unfairly be called the
League Of Nations. in which the
United States must participate to Sc
cure the future peace Of the world.
powers need the United States far
more than the United States needs
them.
There are at least three fatal de-
fects in the proposed covenant which
must be cured before the United
States would be warranted in becom-
ing party to the League. The COW
enant should expressly provide for
withdrawal on reasonable notice. The
covenant should explicitly declare
chat such matters as the restriction Of
immigration and the fixing OF tariffs
are domestic matters beyong the
scope OF the Leagues action.
Ex- President Taft speaking on the
same platform with President Wilson
in effect admitted that all these
changes ought to be made. If Pres
ident Wilson had done likewise he
need not be returning to Paris with
his prestige SO badly impaired.-Bos-
ton News Bureau.
Here is the most succinct and
effective criticism that we have seen

gress or the people into his con-

pressed by his own responsibility il
the making or destroying Of league
Of nations. If he at last accepts the
L. S. Senate's equal right and power
to have part in treaty making he will
no longer ignore the determination o.
that body to correct any defect:
which it finds. In that case he will
do his best from this time forward tc
make such amendments as advised
and which he. manifestly. could mo-
see.
The fate Of league of nations tina
the United States can take to its hear
largely depends on the American
Presidents size. Can he suppress thu
Wilson bigotry in the interests of hi,
country and the world? Is he biz

received on his visit home, or will h

Delegate o'ceaIIaish Says His coun-
trymsn Have spoken Gently" to
Wilson Long Enough-Believes tho
Irish Can Force Him to Stand by
Announced PrincipIes-U. S. DEL
esates Ignored Request

Paris. March 7.-(By The Asso-
ciated Press).-If the Irish question
is not settled by the peace confer
ence. friends of Ireland will stop rat
iication Of the League of Nations in
the American Congress, according to
Sean O'Ceallaigh John O'Kelly). the
delegate OF the provisional Irish re-
public to the peace conference. He
expressed doubt today that any
league of nations could be formed
and said that the Irish had spoken
gently" TO President Wilson long
enough. We can stop ratification of
this league OF nations in Congress if
the Irish question is not settled" he
declared.
1T is my opinion that there will be
no league of nations: at any rate
there will be no peace in Europe be-
cause Ireland will fight and the
world knows tht Ireland can fight
I'VE believe We are powerful
enough in America to make Presi-
dent Wilson enforce the principles
outlined in his peace plan concerning
the right Of nations to dispose of
themselves. We have pleaded and
spoken gently to him long enough.
The time has come for acts"
OCeallaigh adde that no reply had
been received from the members Of
the American peace delegation ask
ing that Ireland's case be heard, ex-
cept simple acknowledgment from
General Bliss. He added:
The others failed to grant me the
courtesy usually bestowed by gentle
men when receiving a letter. even
from begsars. and God knows we are
not beggars.'
O'Ceallaigh who is a small man of
energetic appearance. spoke without
elation, but without bitterness. con-
corning the amnesty granted 10 Sim
Feiners in Dublin. saying: 1T IS not
TOO soon. These men have been in
Jail for nine and one-half months
without a charge being made against
them. England was the last Of the
belligerent countries to grant aInnes-
ty to political prisoners. 1t is not
record to be proud Of.
