"truth, the whole truth and nothing
but the TRUTH" there will be some

Peace WreCkers Defeated

The failure of the Shantung amend
ment in the Senate last week forecasts
the failure Of the whole plot to emas-
culate and destroy the peace treaty
With only few more amendments to
be acted on, the prospects are that
they, like those that have gone before,
will be defeated, and the treaty will
emerge uuscathed from the efforts of
opposing senators to hamstring It with
amendments. The opposition senator's
may succeed in the passage of innocu-
Gus Interpretations" which will in
yolye no textual change of the treaty
and thus Saving their faces" vote for
ratification, or they may, possibly line
up one more than a third Of the senate
membership against the unamended
treaty and thus secure its defeat.
The latter contingency is not likely,
however. The would-be peace wreck
ers lack the courage Of their infamy.
Failing to kill the treaty by indirection
they will hardly dare TO deal the death
blow in the open. The responsibility
for the rejection Cf peace is not one
which they will lightly assume. They
have been playing game Of BLUM,
which has been called. They will now
take their medicine, with wry faces no
doubt, but they win take il. The treaty
will be ratified
