established by twenty-nine nations)
and bearing and deserving the con-
tempt of the world, would submit aD
| entirely new project. This act would
either be regarded as arrant madness
or attempted international bossism.
| "These are Hateful times Organized
government has definite duty all over,
the world The house of. civilization
is to be put in order. The supreme is
sue of the century is before us and the
nation that halts and delays is playing
with fire The finest impulses of hui
mainly, rising above national lines,
merely seek to make another horrible
war impossible. Under the old order
of international anarchy war came
before we knew it. 1t sickens our
senses to think Of another.
Ratification First Duty.
"The. first duty of the new admins
tration clearly will be the ratification
| of the treaty. The matter should be
approached without thought of the bit
| terness of the past. The public YER
| dict will have been rendered, and am
| confident that the friends Of world
peace as it will be promoted by the
| league will have in numbers the con-
stitutional requisite TO favorable sena-
| torial action. The captious may say
| that our platform reference to reserva-
tons is vague and indefinite Its mean
| ing, in brief, Is that we shall state
| our Interpretation Of the covenant as
matter of good faith to our ass0-
| ciates and as a precaution against
| any misunderstanding in the future.
| The point is that after the people shall
have spoken the league will be in the
hands Of it's friends In the senate, and
a safe index as to what they will do is
| supplied by what reservations they
have proposed in the past. Some
months ago, in a contributed article to
the New York Times, expressed my
own opinion of the situation as 1t then
was | reproduce 1t here:
"'There can be no doubt but that
some senators have been conscientious
| in their desire to clarity the provisions
| OF the treaty Two things apparently
have disturbed them. First, they want
ed to make sure that the league was
not to be an alliance, and that its basic
| purpose was peace and not controver-
sy. Second, they wanted the other
| powers signing the instrument to I'M
| derstand our constitutional limitations
| beyond which the treaty-making pow
er cannot go. Dealing with these two
questions In order, it has always seem
ed to me that the Interpretation of the
| function of the league might have been
| stated in these words:
In giving its assent to this treaty,
the senate has in mind the fact that
| the League of Nations which it en-
bodies was devised for the sole pur-
pose of maintaining peace and comfy
among the nations Of the earth and
| preventing the recurrence Of such de-
| structive conflicts as that through
which the world has just passed.
The cooperation of the United States
| with the League and its continuance
| as a member thereof, will naturally de-
rend upon the adherence of the
| League to that fundamental purpose

to say the least, the announcement
from Chicago, where the Republican
national convention was assembled,
that a platform plank, dealing with the
subject of world peace, had been
drawn, leaving out the Lodge reserya-
lions, and yet remaining agreeable 10
all interests, meaning thereby the
Lodge reseryationists, the mild reser-
vationists and the group of Republican
senators that openly opposed the
League of Nations In any form.
"As the platform made no DEFINITE
committal Of policy and was, in fact,
so artfully phrased as to make almost
any deduction possible, it passed
through the convention with practical
unanimity. Senator Johnson. however,
whose position has been consistent and
whose opposition to the league in any
shape Is well known, withheld his sup
port of the GOVERNORS choice until
the candidate had stated the meaning
of the platform, and announced defl-
nitely the policy that would be his, 1t
elected.
Senator Harding makes this new
pledge of policy in behalf of his party :
81 promise you formal and effective
peace so quickly as a Republican con-
gress can pass its declaration for

This means but one thing-a sepa-
rate peace with Germanyi
mo less an authority than Senator
Lodge said, before the heat Of recent
controversy, that to make peace ex-
cept in company with the Allies would
brand US everlastingly with dishonor
and bring ruin to u.s.
"And then after peace Is made with
Germany, Senator Harding would, he
says, hopefully approach the nations
of Europe and of the earth, proposing
that understanding which makes us a
willing participant in the conservation
of nations to new relationship
