Toe Late to Hedge


LENRY CABOT LODGE. Republican leader
OF the Senate. and William p. Borah. a
lieutenant of the Bostonian, have made and
repeated the charge upon the floor OF the
United States Senate that they know that
copies OF the peace treaty in the hands
of private citizens in New York. and have
intimated that there has been breach OF
confidence in some quarter. The plain in
tent of these charges is to accuse the Presi-
dent or his immediate associates OF having
permitted an unworthy use of this document
by financial interests" while at the same
time denying the Senate the privilege Of
even seeing he treaty.
When challenged by Senator Hitchcock to
name the person persons who may have
possession of this treaty, Senator Lodge de
ciared emphatically that he would not give
the name Of his friend to the Senate now
or later To do so, he said, would be to
violate propriety and to involve in a public
scandal man who could not possibly be
charged with wrongdoing in this any other
connection. All that Senator Lodge would
say was that the treaty which had been shown
to him was not in the hands OF financial in
terests and had not been. Senator Borah
promptly added, however, that he had reason
10 believe that such interests have access 10
the document.
Unless these two Senators are deliberately
misleading the country, they owe 1t TO them
selves and to their associates on the Senate
floor to divulge all the information they
have on this subject. Their duty is to give
the country the names OF the man or men
they have been talking about. They cannot
afford to continue their attitude OF defiance
of the Senate. They cannot afford to invoke
their immunity Senators TO save them
selves from going to Jail as recalcitrant wit
nesses.
If any American newspaper or any indi-
ridual should publicly declare what Lodge
and Borah have declared and if. upon being
called before Senate investigating commit
tee. they should refuse to give the names OF
the men in question the editors of the paper
or other individuals would be slapped into
Jail and held there until the Senate chose
20 release them Blu, a member OF that body
may spring an international sensation. He
may, by innuendo. charge the President of
the United States with conspiracy to promote
the profits OF financial interests; he may tell
the Senate and the world that he knows the
names Of the men who have copies of the
peace treaty. and then, if he dares, he may
refuse, as Lodge has done, 10 answer any
question which a duly created investigating
committee may ask Of him. He may do this,
moreover, without subjecting himself to any
penalty whatever
II Henry Cabot Lodge has any regard for
the publics estimation OF him. If it matters
10 him whether or not he is looked upon as
an honest man or as contemplate sensa-
tion-monger. he will find it wise to come
through with the whole story, fragments of
which he has conided to the country He
will not stand on any rights he may have or
imagine he has He will not subject himself
TO the badgering which will come to him for
long time to come ii he maintains his
present course.
