IT HE first dispatches from Wash

senatorial opposition to the pro-

Senators Borah, Curtis and Norris

openly to support it. In explaining
his opposition Senator Norris said
that it would "kll the league" and

"a door which has already been
locked"
The Republican press is practi-
cally unanimous in favor of the ALI
ance. The New York Tribune and
''The Kansas City Star" see in it the
essential basis of future peace. Saws
the latter:
The Entente policy is in reality the
only tangible thing that gives force and
body to the peace treaty. With that
policy as buttress the peace has a
guarantee of permanence. Without il
the instrument is just a treaty and
nothing more. And the history of
treaties is the history of wars. None
has ever stood that it was to the adj
vantage of any aggressive power to
override. Their guarantees guarantee
nothing. Prussian disarmament did not
keep Prussia off Napoleon's back
Treaty neutrality did not save Belgium
These are lessons that have the deem
est significance for France and Justify
her in demanding good indorsers on the
league of nations paper. She will be
satisfied with those of America and
Britain, and those powers have as rood
reasons for lending that security as
France has for wanting it. There ought
to be no difficulty In completing the
transaction"

No Serious Results

TO the same general effect is
THE Detroit Free Press:
"As a matter Of fact, it is doubt
full whether any serious results would
come from refusal of the upper house
TO place its seal of approval on the
German treaty. The reason for re-
fusal would be made clear Berlin
would understand perfectly we'll the
causes and the significance Of the re
fusal; it would know that the failure
to ratify in no way affected American
solidarity with its allies so far as
determination to see Germany put in
its place is concerned: and this would
be particularly evident if the proposed
special triple alliance of America.
Great Britain and France were to be
put into effect
"The Boston Transcript" would
go further and separate the treaty
and league entirely:
The Senate can take one of four
courses once the treaty is submitted:
~ Ratfv it as submitted: p reject
it as submitted; 80 ratify it with
amendments; ~ ratify it with reser-
vations inserted Immediately before
the signatures of the American sigma
tories. If the Senate will separate the
terms OF the treaty of peace from the
terms Of The British plan for the fut-
i-- 6 =, l.,
treaty can then be ratified. and its
enforcement, SO far as the United
States is involved, intrusted to an in
terLational commission, Then the
British plan for a league of nations
can be discussed upon its merits. We
have good reason to believe that France
and Italy would welcome such course
upon the part OF the Senate. We are
confident that when the American peo-
pie find out that the peace treaty can
be concluded without paying the price
Of abandoning the policy of Washing
ton, destroying the doctrine of Monroe
and sacrificing the nationalism of
Cleveland and Roosevelt, and best of
all without pledging their flesh and
blood for all time to come to guarantee
The integrity of the British and jap
anese empires from outside attack
(Article Ten, they will say to the
Senate; Separate the peace treaty from
the league plan; ratify the one and
leaven the other with the Root amend
ments or leave IL alone
As to the practical question of
how such separation would be
made and what would be it's effect
IN delaying peace, there has been
little detailed discussion.
