to attempt to secure them by reser.
vations in the ratifying resolutions
But our plan has been rejected and We
must face the situation as 1t is. We
must either secure such compromise
as may be possible or present the is
sue to the country. The latter course
would mean delay OF at least four
teen months and then success only in
case of our securing a two-thirds ma,
Iollty IN the Senate.
we cannot afford, either as citi-
zens or as members OF the party, to
share with the Republican party re-
sponslblllty for further delay; we can
not go before the country on the is
sue that such an appeal would present
The Republicans have a majority in
the senate, and, therefore, can by
right dictate tie Senate's course. Be
ing in the minority, we cannot demand
the right to decide tie terms upon
which the Senate will consent to rat
lhcatIon. Our nation has spent lOO,-

A Constructive Program
A Democratic party cannot be a
party Of negation; it must have a
program. 1t must not
only favor a League of Nations, but
it must have a plan for the selection
of delegates and a policy to be pur.
sued by those delegates. What plan

than that which contemplates the
popular election of those delegates
who, in the influence they will exert,
will be next in Importance to the Pres
ident himself, and what policy can the
Democratic party have within the
League OF NATIONS other man OF a. ap-
