The Craven Turk
dNew York Herald


Craven is the only word that ac'
curately describes the appearance
and conduct of the Turkish peace
commission before the council Of ten
at Paris, It Is humorously reported
that the meeting was secret, but
what took place is made public.
The Grand Vizier, doubtless rub
bling his hands and speaking in
unctuous tones. said the Turkish peo-
pie were not to blame for entering
the war, but that the German emp
eror pulled the strings and a Ger
man admiral actually declared Tur-
key in a state Of war. Perhaps the
most humiliating spectacle was the
Grand Vizer's ataempt to whitewosh
the Sultan and his offering of a

ten that the Sultan be permitted to

Where We Get On


Isn't the League of Nations mostly
a U. S. proposition7 Didn't Mr.. vii
son invent it? And aren't we supposed
to be in the dominant position in the
new world-arrangement? And II we
see fit to suggest a few changes.
won't the Allies be only too glad to
respect our wishes-and get us to
back up the plan on any reasonable
basis?
These queries are suggested by the
following pertinent editorial in the
New York Tribune:
1.-THE two arguments most commonly
made for q ratification of the peace
treaty without reservations affecting
the covenant involve o contradiction,
1t is said that the United States ought
to approve without notifications be-
cause such notifications may not be
readily assented to by European ma
lions. But it is urged at the same time
only a league of nations, with the
United States a member OF it, can
save Europe from ruin.
THE first argument clashes with
the second. II the league Of nations is
an Indispensable instrument for the
salvation of the world-or even OF the
european w~orld--the European nations
will be only too glad to have this
country enter it on its own terms. If
we are a %guaraptor and the countries
of Europe are beneficiaries, they can
have no reasonable objection to modi-
fications Of the contract for the pur-
pose Of protecting American interests.
We are giving more than We receive.
ITO represent other nations as IN
willing to permit us to construe the
c0yenant our own way, by means OF
necessary reservations, is to impute
TO them a strange lack of perspioacity
and self-interest
